While everyone was at the candy apple tasting convention this weekend, a couple of people turned up with Destructoid tattoos, which was awesome. What hadn’t occured to me until just now is that I designed the one you see above, which is even more awesome. That was a logo I made for T-shirt sleeves a couple of years ago, and while I don’t think we ever actually used it, it’s nice to know somebody is wearing my art on their arm anyway.Forever.
As nearly the entire staff was off puppy-piling on each other, we few remnants were here doing what we do. I would like to especially thankGeraldo Beedogfor stepping up to heed the call of duty when his JOURNALISM services were most needed. Here’s a look at what went down while you were at PAX:
