David Hayter, the voice actor for Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series, once asked a very important question: "What the f**k is Destructoid?" After nearly four years in the business, we're still not sure how to answer that. So, you can imagine people are still wondering. People such as Jennifer Hale, the voice actress for Naomi in the Metal Gear Solid games.
We have Community member Kauza to thank for above amazingness. Kauza sent us this video last night along with a message that made Chad cry like a little girl that just got hit by an airplane. "Seriously," Kauza writes, "someone needs to figure out what the f*ck Destructoid is."
"Anyway, just wanted to send this to you both as a sort of thank you," he continues. "Stupid way to offer thanks, but still -- you've both been instrumental in allowing me to end up doing a lot of really cool shit.
"Niero, just by maintaining a kickass community focused website where a guy can have an audience," he says, "and Hamza, by being a really awesome community leader and a supporter of my blogs. So, here's my silly way of saying thanks. But I mean the hell out of it when I say it: thanks. You're f*cking awesome."
Thanks, Kauza -- you rock! Expect a full interview with Jennifer Hale from Kauza to appear on the site later this week.
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.

Chad's the only one who cried? Well shit. Utter failure.
And not to get doubly sappy, but all of the community members here are really fucking awesome too, and a huge reason why this site is so great. I love you all too, especially those of you who I've already taken to my bed.
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!

Seriously, why the fuck isn't Kauza an editor at Dtoid yet? Seriously?
If only someone could find the voice actor for Otacon and do the same......
