[The Forums are totally taking credit for the Watdoom craze that swept the site this month.]
We interrupt your regularly scheduled front page to once again remind you that Destructoid has Forums and if you didn’t know about them you’ve been missing a lot. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been going on this month.
Ordinarily this is where I’d make some witty commentary about life or videogames or the Forums, but it’s been a rough month full of prolonged reoccurring illness so I’m a bit at a loss. Just pretend I wrote a naughty limerick here and let’s move on.
In case you’ve been living under a rock and completely missed all news concerning the hacking and subsequent downtime of the PlayStation Network there’s a thread dedicated to thediscussion. Check it out and voice your concerns and speculations about Sony’s and the PSN’s future.
In happier news, apparentlyPortal 2is amazing. I wouldn’t know since I need 2 copies of all co-op games to be able to enjoy them with the husband. Sad to say new games weren’t in the budget this month so I’m having to live vicariously throughthePortal 2discussion thread. Stop by to share your impressions and feel good moments with the rest of the Forums.
I also don’t know about the newMortal Kombatgame that came out this month, but thankfully there’s awhole threaddedicated to discussing the finer points of ripping out each others spleens.
IfMarvel vs. Capcom 3is more your bag then be sure to check outde Bloo’sRanbat Tournament. The winners bracket has already concluded, congrats to de Bloo for organizing/winning. The losers bracket is still ongoing and looks to be just as heated.
There’s also a pretty active thread for theGears of War 3betato join for people who are into that kind of thing.
Are you a fan of the new C Blog seriesDebatoid? Then it might interest you to know that you con contribute ideas for upcoming debates in theDebatoid Topic thread.
Remember text adventure games? Yeah, me neither, but that isn’t stoppingSchildConstructfrom creating one. He’s invited people to take a survey and play test hisupcoming offering. Worth looking into if you wanna see what really counts as “old school” gaming.
Not gonna lie, I’m a fan of baked goods. Apparently so is culinary goddessBec. This month she showed us the amazing cupcakes pictured above as well as the most epicAngry Birdscakemankind has ever laid eyes upon.

Looking for a fun way to use and abuse your photo related skills? Head over to theWhat is Icarus pointing at? threadand try your hand at shopping our moderator IcarusKills into horribly embarrassing scenarios.
There’s also thePaint Album Cover threadwhere people make MS Paint drawings of famous album covers then have others try to guess which one it is.
WatDoom is a thing that is happening all over the forums right now, thanks in no small part to the dedicated efforts ofGobunand the rest of the Forum Gif Bomb Squad. This became such a big deal that it even leaked over onto the front page. Way to go guys!
That concludes this month in Forum news. Thanks as always to my wonderful Mod team and the general awesomeness that is the Forum community. Join us next month when Mxyzptlk exposes some dark secrets and I do some finger painting.
