Forums, we have them: March 2012

Put on your wizard hat and cloak of invisibility, it’s that magical time where we invade the front page to remind you all that Destructoid has Forums and they are glorious. Don’t believe me? Take a look at all the crazy shenanigans that went down last month.

After being reborn from the ashes like a phoenix, the Who the hell are you?! 2.0 thread has spawned its very own forum meme, Crotchtoid. Basically it’s exactly what it sounds like and has already lead to its own artistic movement as seen in the header image. Thanks to ZombiePlatypus for bravely posting a picture of his crotch to get us started, although his motivation for doing so is shrouded in mystery.

Speaking of good old ZP, that guy sure does a lot for us, including pushing the limits of acceptable post counts. Behold the breathtaking celebration of his 20,000 posts. Who will be next to reach this epic milestone? I guess we’ll just have to wait to find out.

Of course it could be hard for anyone else to hit 20,000 posts when we’re all busy playing Mass Effect 3. Come share your love for the final installment of Bioware’s epic space opera in our Mass Affection Thread. This is also a great place to make some multiplayer buddies so you can take it to the Reapers in style.

Maybe instead of venturing into the Forums you spent last month playing around with your PlayStation Vita. Well, grab your PSN name and unite with other vita owners, for better or worse. Got some impressions of your time with the Vita that you are dying to get off your chest? Share them here.

This just in, Epic-KxDtoid is the worst gamer in the world. Think you can sink below his level? Click the link and share your greatest gaming sins.

Had a game you were super excited about get cancelled right out from under you? Fandango is here to share your grief.

Forum new guy, Deathsoldier11 showed off some of his mad woodburning skills. That’s gotta be worth a Creative Endeavors Badge.

What’s that? You want more badges? Well you’ve come to the right place! This month we are finally unveiling the much anticipated Dtoid 6th Anniversary Badge in honor of Dtoid’s (and boss-man, Niero’s) birthday, March 16. Fun fact, I always remember Dtoid’s birthday because it is the day after my son’s. Anyway, here’s the badge.

How do you get your hot little hands on this sweet Final Fantasy homage? Come by the All About Destructoid section of the Forums and find this year’s birthday celebration thread. Follow the instructions contained within and post your results to be part of Dtoid’s big day.

If you’re planning to go to PAX East this year then it’s time to start planning how to best maximize your time with the Dtoid community. The PAX East 2012 thread has all the information you need to meet up with the best gaming community in the world. PAX is a life-changing event where bromance is born so don’t miss a second of the excitement.

Some other stuff probably happened, but I’ve had a cold for about 3 weeks and my medicine makes everything a little fuzzy. Thanks to everyone in the Forums for being awesome and contributing to what makes this place great. Happy Birthday wishes to Niero and the whole Dtoid Community, let’s make the next 6 years as amazing as the first. Be sure to join us next month when Mxy introduces you to his anatomically correct Transformer puppet collection and some more things will happen, most likely.
