How did you find Destructoid???

[Tiq]

There I stood, lost in the middle of a great desert.

Sand to the left of me, sand to the right of me. Sand in places you daren't even imagine.

For thirty days and thirty nights I walked with nary a sip of water or morsel of nourishment to fuel my impoverished frame.

Eventually my determination wavered and I found myself finally admitting defeat as my tongue had swollen up and my stomach growled like some sort of wild beast. Just then I heard a voice... a sweet, angelic voice I'll never forget.

The elegant, majestic voice lead me to an oasis brimming with fresh water, fruit and animals and I gorged myself until a much fatter man stood where once was a meager, pitiful creature.

After that, the voice directed me here and I happily followed. As I finally reached the golden gates of destructoid I heard the voice becoming distant. I'll never forget the last words it spoke to me before finally dissapearing.

Why wouldn't anyone want to read my wonderful story? It has everything. Deserts, starvation... jim sterling.

And that's one of the better stories and reasons to be here. Most people joining the forums these days dribble out something silly about twitching.

[Tiq]

What is twitching?

[Tarvu]

It's where you shut off all brain functions and watch other people play games.

Well that just sounds horrible.

I don't get the whole watching other people play games thing. I know people that don't play games at all yet have an interest in them because of Lets Plays and the such. I can only watch informative and comedy videos about video games without getting bored.

There was a link somewhere in the internet that somehow...

For me there are certain games that I can't play or don't want to play, and a let's play is interesting to see. It can also help me decide if I will buy the game or not

I want to get into the Gaming Industry as well, so I figured blogging was the best first step!

That, and a ton of hand-jobs.

Don't be afraid to stroke the balls, either.

I did an image search on google to try and find the name of woman in a particular picture and this site popped up as one of the links. Still no name though.

Found it while looking about for a new focusing crystal. Never did locate one, but I found some guy in a helmet, and his band of merry men. Looking back, it wasn't a trap after all.

99.9% of our forum members stumbled upon this site in the exact same fashion.

TRUE STORY.

How did I first hear of Dtoid???

[Feral Kitsune]

I'm here due to Foom. I didn't even know that this was more than a news site until he joined.

[PappaDukes]

There's a news site??

[smurfee_mcgee]

I can't seem to find a link, but I was Google searching for another contest, and a Dtoid one came up. The prize was for a PS3 or two Wiis. I believe you had to guess at some obscure PS1 game, with minimal clues. One guess a day.
It was in the forums; a post by Niero himself I think.

After that, I made a shitty intro and was somehow sucked into the whirlpool.

RetroforceGO brought me here, when I was looking for some retro reviews and that popped up, a few Burch articles later and boosh! I was hooked. Lurked the early forums and front page for awhile, then trolled a bit under HillbillySk8 (only idiots). A couple years after that, switched to PhilK3nS3bb3n and went further and further down the rabbit hole, until I was involved with almost all parts of the site and y'all actually knew the creepy ass lurker that is me.
