Meet the Newest Dethroner, Me

Heyo. I’m Travis Hudson and you may have noticed (or not) my name appear below Joel’s over on the sidebar with the fancy pants title of Associate Editor. I’ll be putting on my blogging sombrero and giving Joel a hand with the site.
Joel and I go way back from the days of Tribes. He also gave me my start at Gizmodo as an intern who was forced to do much spooning. My interests cover a broad spectrum, so expect a wide variety of posts in the near future. This picture is of me doing my best Joel impression at E3 last year.
I still spoon on an as-need basis, so hit me up if you are ever lonely.
Welcome, dude! Readers: Fuck his world up.
HOs on the flag! Capper inbound!
I was a badass LD, until I made the career move to farmer. Man that was a boring job, but it had some glory.
Welcome aboard, sir. Happy posting.
That is a mean Joel impression, but you need to tilt your head slightly back and to the side.
This post did nothing but make me pine for the days of good ol’ Tribes. Shazbot!
Congrats, man! Small world, haha. Good luck with this, I really enjoy Dethroner and am looking forward to your stuff.
Congratulations Travis! Thought you took a job with Samsung PR or something like that? Hope you can keep the site alive.

Awesome, welcome aboard!
Welcome
I’ve definitely seen this look. Great impression.
Listen, man:
If you weren’t ACTUALLY spooned by Joel, say, in a hotel bed at E3 as an intern at the Giz, you can’t go talking about being spooned.
I’m not saying you weren’t, but I want to distinguish between “interns who were actually physically spooned by Joel in real life” and “interns who heard Joel likes to spoon and equate that with being berated by him.”
:-)
/was actually spooned by Joel.
//true fucking story.
Welcome aboard Travis!
You get a +1 for the simple fact you played tribes – goddamn that was some good gaming.
Would you keep Joel in line? He’s been getting uppity lately. I hope that’s one of the responsibilities of ‘Associate Editor’: Keep the Joel in line by whatever means necessary.
Hahahaha, here’s to new blood!
As the former Associate Ed of Dethroner, I don’t have to tell you that there’s just no keeping Joel in line. Unless, of course, the aforementioned spooning is done while naked and there’s bacon within arm’s reach.
do you guys post on tribalwar?
i’m shocked, i thought jj was pretty cool before but knowing that he played tribes is another layer of awesome
did you guys also play t2?
I haven’t posted on TW in years, but I’m a Vet 6 (or whatever they’re calling it these days). Rayn and Colosus were in Travis’ and my tribe! (Federal State Cops)
