About Me

I am the Deputy 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.

What is On the Table? On the Table is a series of board and card game reviews. Each week, I focus on a different piece of analog entertainment with coverage of basic gameplay, a little critique and passing mention of any digital versions I find of it. Why? Destructoid is a video game site. Board games are fun, for starters. And with the popularity of games like Carcassone, Catan and Eye of Judgement, I felt there was an interest in this type of game. And it's my blog, so there. When do new editions of On the Table appear? On the Table updates every Saturday. Well, almost every Saturday. Some weekends are busier than others. Previous On the Table columns: 5/24/2008 - Arkham Horror's Lesser Expansions Curse of the Black Pharaoh and The King in Yellow contribute still more to the Arkham Horror game 5/17/2008 - Dunwich Horror (expansion) The first expansion to Arkham Horror brings the Investigators to a rural village which harbors a terrible secret. 05/10/2008 - Arkham Horror In the New England town of Arkham, an ancient evil stirs and it's up to a group of (foolishly) curious heroes to stop it's return to this world. 05/04/2008 - Do You Worship Cthulhu? A rural English village is having its citizens sacrificed to Cthulhu, and it's probably one of your friends. 04/26/2008 - Lost Cities Rival expeditions seek to make good on their investments in this two-player card game (now on XBLA) 04/19/2008 - Zombies!!!

A simple party game that requires nothing more than a piece of paper and a pen. 01/19/2008 - Munchkin A satirical card game that pokes fun at role-playing games and its more... earnest players. 01/12/2008 - Robo Rally A funny and challenging robotic race through a deadly factory. 01/04/2008 - Supremacy An in-depth world domination game combined with a strategic arms race and stock market system. 12/29/2007 - Quiddler Fast and fun card game combining elements of Scrabble and Gin. 12/22/2007 - Betrayal at House on the Hill A group of people investigate a spooky mansion, but one of them has their own reasons for being there.
