Tubatic's collection is probably one of the most impressive I've ever seen simply for the fact that he has all of his boxes still. The Ataris, Turbo Grafix, original Game Boy, Coleco Vision, everything has a box! I don't know what it was about being a young gamer that made me want to throw all of my boxes away. Sure, they take up room, but everything is worth so much more just because of the boxes. Check out some more pictures of Tubatic's collection on his C Blog.
Cataract is holding a Destructoid Secret Santa, everyone is loving the new Xbox 360 Avatars, Blindside Dork made a dozen blogs about the Baltimore NARP, there's a Dtoid Club House in PlayStation Home, SakuChan recapped the Miami NARP, and plenty more happened this past week in the Community.
jestarinc has uploaded the Dtoid stencil image for all to use. Careful where you use it. We will not bail you out if you get caught!
SilverDragon1979 celebrated his friend's birthday by wrapping everything in his office with aluminum foil. He picked up 1500 square feet worth of industrial strength aluminum foil and took about four hours with three of his friends to wrap the entire office.
Yashoki has set up a community server for Dtoiders to play Left 4 Dead on. Remember though, you can't play as any of the four main characters because of the staff's dibs on them.
Well isn't this nice! Cataract wants to hold a Secret Santa for Destructoid this year. If you don't know what a Secret Santa is, well, then you're a terrorist (HAH! IT'S OK! I CAN GET AWAY WITH THAT JOKE!) Anyway, if you're interested in participating, then please get in touch with Cataract. You have until this coming Tuesday to join in on the fun.
Listen up trolls: It's fine you want to be a fucking asshole and dicks to everyone on the site, but please, GET AN AVATAR. It's not that hard to do.
Highlights end this week with SakuChan's Miami NARP recap. Over 300 people showed up to the NARP where there were a ton of competitions and cool things to pick up. There were even Destructoid cookies. COOKIES!
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.

I also like the dtoid Avatar pic. and who's the very first one at the top left corner? ME.
It's okay, though -- we here have some great times coming up at Blipfest in a week and a half!
Gotta go back and pull out the game boxes sometime. Many sexy fresh NES boxes worth admiring!
Sounds like too much fun.
It's 'throw' not 'through'. I had to read that sentence like 3 times to figure out what you were talking about.
Did you read that sentence? :D
