I love it when you guys show off your art skills and that's just what Kapitan Pato did recently. These drawings were made for an upcoming brentalfloss CD, but brental didn't like the style Kapitan was going for. I dig it!
The meat of the Double Down Brown Town sandwich gave us an update on the HAWP DVD.

Scary Womanizing Pig Mask found out the truth! Jim Sterling is really Boy George.
y0j1mb0 is shameless in asking for fanart. This time however, garganroo made some fanart without being asked! Probably because old man Jimbo had no idea garganroo drew stuff. OH THAT'S RIGHT, OLD MAN! I'm calling you out!
A couple of new Dtoid memes were born this past week, one of them being Doubling Down. Krow, Phantomile, Gyrael and Conrad Zimmerman all show you exactly what Doubling Down entails. Actually, here's a blog that has all of the Double Down stuff.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

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!
It's never too late.
I don't have anything to double down with, or anything substantial to take pictures of it with.

No mention of DMS or Havoc either. Not even Topher himself. I guess that just goes to show that Hamza is a JERK.
We put our stomachs on the line!
We want some name dropping!
