About Me

edit

I am the News Editor at Destructoid. I write about videogames for a living. That last sentence is as awesome as it sounds, though not always in the ways you might think.

I also play host to Destructoid's live streaming satellite studio, Couchtoid. From there, we broadcast Backlog, an attempt to work through my stack of old games one hour at a time (Weeknights, 10pm Pacific) and Saturday Morning Hangover where Dtoid writer Jordan Devore and the always lovely ImpossiblePlant play often painful games for your amusement (Saturdays, 10am Pacific).

I'm fond of all types of gaming, either on a screen or a tabletop. In terms of video games, my interests vary wildly from platformers (2D preferred) to RPGs and the occasional FPS. The greatest game of all time is Mega Man 2 and any suggestion otherwise will be met with swift vengeance.

About Rodney Dangerfield:

The mere inclusion of Rodney Dangerfield can vastly improve anything. Films, music, toasters, anything. In particular, the force of Rodney Dangerfield could elevate video games to the level in which they are accepted by the mainstream as a true art form, bringing together people of all races, creeds and tax brackets in peace and harmony.

RIP Rodney.

A couple of custom game covers which I made
Conrad Zimmerman \| 10:22 PM on 12.17.2010	24 comments

I was going through some files, doing a little maintenance, and came across a few custom covers I made a few months ago. Over time, I'll probably get around to making more of these (there's an unfinished Earth Defense Force 2017 and I'd like a Deadly Premonition one very much) but I can't devote much effort towards the project.

Eventually, I want to have an entire shelf of my favorite games in generations 5-7 (and probably 8), all in DVD cases with similar covers. Because I am a dork.

If anybody wants the template that I used to make these, that can probably be arranged.

A Earth Defense Force 2017 custom cover would literally be, the greatest thing ever.

HandsomeBeast

That's so cool. My friend makes his own covers to sports games by replacing the athletes, but this takes it to a whole other level of custom game covers.

Very nice stuff, Conrad. I love the simple, minimal style of them. More games need to actually come out with cases similar to these. :)

Xzyliac

I would buy these so fast. You might have a little Internet start up business brewing with these.

Also, I'd like the templates please!

I'm really digging these. You should start making covers for new releases. I've been pretty disappointed with how lame most game covers are these days.

Kaggen

Fancy! I�m digging the stylish minimal style , I would buy it!

That Bioshock one is the bomb.

manasteel88

Dude. Sweet. DUDE! SWEET!

@manasteel88: I too am a Deadly Premonition fan. I'd love to see a custom cover for that!

MOAR. PLZ.
