Destructoid turns four next year. That's ridiculous. Surely we should be either bankrupt or lecherous sellouts by now, right? Somehow we're still here by no small contribution of Dtoid's plucky editors and more importantly our community. We're here because Google says 1.4 million people read us each month for some reason.
What the hell is wrong with you people?
So how did we get here, you ask? Well, there's about 16 editors across various cities so when we alternate robbing convenience stores its much harder to track. There's also the fact that there's nothing else in the world I'd rather be doing right now than listening to the F-Zero soundtrack while drinking the uncarbonated remains of last night's midnight Taco Bell soda. If you're curious about what motivated me to start the site I did an unflattering interview with the folks at The Gamer Studio about the site's early influences and how you too can become an abusive husband at your trade. The article exposes me for the hack publisher/web designer/writer/human being that I am, which is important for you to know if we're going to continue being Internet friends.
Some critics of Destructoid may not appreciate our granola success and have even come to attack my under qualifications, and that's OK. For them I offer them this answer: I'm having a lot of fun learning what to do along the way, but my immediate Saturday plan to beef up my journalistic acumen is to watch Muppets in Space. That's the one where Moses tells Gonzo that he's doomed and kicks him off the arc, I think.
