Original article and forum poll follows:
As some of you may or may not know, this week marks the arrival of Destructoid's executive editor Robert Summa to the City of Angels. We will be podcasting live tomorrow night, accompanied via interweb by Podtoid favorites Ron "amazingly large balls" Workman, Aaron "crisis averted" Linde, and Earnest "Nex goddamn I have a lot of names" Cavalli. We hope to discuss all manner of business, including the first steps in Destructoid's eventual takeover of Los Angeles. We hope you'll reply with your questions, comments and gameplans for world domination.
UPDATE: Tonight Ron Workman will unveil his extra special secret he's been keeping under wraps all week long. Is Ron actually going to admit to his homosexuality? Will he leave Destructoid for an illustrious career at Microsoft? Do you dare to jump in the forums and guess? Make your vote count. The news wont be a secret for much longer!

Just asking...
*shifty eyes*
1. Do you think Nintendo will utilize this new channel wisely for user feedback on games and VC or is this a gimmick?
2. What channel (besides a Also Mii Cocks channel) would you like to see come out?
Does Destructoid plan on creating of a 300 ft. tall walking robot and game-anizing L.A.?
Stay Alive the Movie.
Is there any chance that next year's Dtoid party will be in LA?
What events (if any) might come up in the future in LA?
HALO 3 BETA! =]
tea with crumpits.
And how was your Valentine's Day?
This is the only time that, "Also, cocks" is not an acceptable answer.
What do you think of all the fan art that has shown up for Destructoid?
And just to throw gas on the fire...
The PS3 how long would it take the ps3 to fully sink if so?
1. I don't know what an over/under is, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to give it to you
2. odds are pretty good: he's halfway there
I hereby declare myself the...er...teh only real Ted. There can be no other.
Ironically, I ran into another Ted at my work the other day. I'd met a total of two others in my life up to that point, and one of them was my namesake. Weird. Ted = videogamers?
@Hamvagina - Hilarious avatar, over/under on Summa becoming a douchebag is 6 months ago.
How did you find out about that?
-
What the F is up with the everybody votes channel?
Teh Ted was supposed to be a secret.

Do you guys approve of the video?
But if you don't acknowledge me, that makes me a bastard.
I guess if the shoe fits....
'Cause that would be super.
Are Nex and Summa finally going to make hot steamy love? Who's the catcher?
Do you find my misery as hilarious as I do? If so, I will attempt this and maybe even more next year.
I noticed the TV on the Radio as well.
Maybe it's because they're trying to turn us into crazy-sex hungry werewolves. subliminally.
confirm or deny?

2160p,when , and will it come with a "zephyr"
And to add something substantive: How long until Destructoid puts together its own convention? Seems like it's only a matter of time until Dtoid reaches that kind of critical mass.
I'd also like to see more photos of everybody. That's one thing I miss about the old chat system - the webcam feeds (don't miss the interface). And ever since I've moved to Linux as my main desktop, I can't use Ventrilo either. Mutter. Maybe look into a more cross-platform system with video? I feel so left out. :(
One more thing, since I'm actually listening to Podtoid 17 at this very moment: Designate a discussion moderator. It's fine to have a heated discussion, but when everyone starts jabbering at once it just turns into a cacophony that's hard not to skip through.
