Sometimes I really want to pack it all up and quit while I'm ahead.
That's how I felt when I first heard that I'll have a bit part in the upcoming XBLA/PC/WiiWare title Retro City Rampage. I wasn't sure it could get any better than that. Then McNyers made that comic about me, and I almost cried. A few months later, I saw my name in the credits of Cave Story 3D under the "Special Thanks" section. I had no idea that was going to happen, and I'm still not sure why it did. Thank God I had already written the review for the game before I read the credits. I don't think I could have comfortably scored it otherwise.
I was wrong. McflyGold/TaraLongGif just took things to the next level. I am now a part of the greatest video ever made. If I disappear forever after this post, you'll know why. It's all going to be downhill from here.

Ha! People really seem to like the video! I'm glad! I really had fun putting it together. Hundreds of layers were harmed during the making of this video! ;)

That was beautiful! When I first saw that other video Holmes posted, I said I would love to see him in that video.
McFlyGold, you did an awesome job! I have a long way to go before I'm at your level.
Sometimes I want to apply for jobs where I know they'll do background checks just so they'll see this stuff and try to make sense of it out of context. You know, when there's any context at all.

^ ^ ^ That's one reason I'm thinking of avoiding a purple dildo gif with MaxGifville... you guys probably won't be here forever!
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Holmes doing crazy internet things: Check.
Good day off in my book.
You deserve all that and more :)
Back on topic Holmesy you really are a swell dude.
You look like the type who, when angry, can kill a man quickly. The "always lovable" types are usually like that.
McFlyGold, you did an awesome job! I have a long way to go before I'm at your level.
