Scheduled Destructoid maintenance tonight: we're gonna break stuff photo

Funny how a year can change our perception of what Destructoid should be, how it should work, and what it should ultimately become. It's been a wild ride so far. I have to say, I can't tell you how happy I am that I received an invite to this year's E3.  TWICE.  Not bad for some dork in Miami that had nothing to do with the industry. The site has been good to a lot of us in little ways like that.

Anyway, I digress. What started out as my outspoken pissy little blog about the gaming industry will forever be changed tonight as we begin rolling out the features we've been trying to nail down since December: Community Blogs.  Please pardon our dust as we completely rape the system to shreads tonight as we muddle out the vulva of 2006.

It is my hope that the next version of Destructoid will better fulfill your personal need to openly discuss video games on both our home page and with the friends you've made in our community, let you all become more involved and integral in our daily omens, and help us further shape the future of independent video game journalism.

I think we are gonna have some fun...

So!  We are surely about to break the site as we do some testing.  Half the stuff you may see is still in production and may not work right away.  Please pardon our rape.

It needs a new name like Dtoidr. Cos you know, all Web 2.0 sites have those kinda names. It also needs more trolls and pointless blogs.

I can't wait :D:D:D

Really? I heard the site was just going to be be a blank white screen with "Also cocks!" smack bang in the middle. And then maybe a cliched STFUAJPG photoshop.

Rumours, eh?

Instead of being Web 2.0, the new Dtoid could be "Game 3.0" in a virtual world...

On second thought, maybe not. Carry on..

Guys, my blog is going to be full of big, fancy words, metaphors, and snide comments. I just wanted to warn you all first, before your world gets rocked.

Hurry up and make with the raping, Niero.
