About Me

Go check out Destructoid's collectible toy culture blog, which I proudly run:



Here is a list of things you should know about me:
I'm a female game/toy blogger living in New Orleans.
The NES is my favorite system of all time, closely followed by the PS2.
My DS is more or less glued to my person.
I can't resist playing Contra. Ever.
I think toys are the best solution to not wanting to grow up, and I have an always-growing collection of them, which is why I started Tomopop.
I require sushi for living.
I'm hopelessly addicted to Japanese dramas and skinny Japanese boys with awful hair.
I love wandering around used bookstores for hours.
I think about throwing rocks at people a lot.
I replay The Legend of Zelda about 5 times a year.
I read a lot.
I can't live without music.

Kon-kon!


This Pedro guy is pretty good.

And these RetroforceGo! people aren't so bad.


Actually, the people I work with are pretty freaking awesome in general.


Sometimes I put on costumes, too.

New freelance work (if you guys want to read)
Colette Bennett | 11:35 PM on 01.18.2008 22 comments




I accepted some freelance work at a new blog called Colourlovers, which is not a part of the game industry. I love art and design and wanted to be able to write about those topics as well, so now I have the opportunity to do so. I don't know if any of you will enjoy the site, but if it's your thing check it out and feel free to give me any feedback you might have:

Colette at Colourlovers

Of course I snatched up the opportunity to spread the word about vinyl toys. ^____^

New blog? Do you mean new in that you're new to it, or new in that colourlovers is new? I'm pretty sure colourlovers has been around for a while, but correct me if I'm wrong

I used to play with toys in real life back in the 1900's. Nowadays all I need is a controller in my hand.

Nice! Vinyl Toys is a business I'd really like to get in to. I have a pretty nice collection as well.

It always interests me to find out what things game writers are into on the side. Most people would just assume we play games 24-7 and that's it. I actually love art and design myself. I was working as a freelance visual artist for several years, but sort of slacked off for the past year. I guess I was burnt out but I plan to get back into things.
