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.

F*** YOU DVDDESIGN - Day 04
Conrad Zimmerman | 1:12 PM on 05.02.2008 40 comments


Yes, yes, GTA IV is a masterpiece that everyone is adoring. Well, almost everyone. Some of us have a little restraint, after all. And for my stalwart brethren who have eschewed the pleasures of the game in lieu of a loftier goal, I offer this: Five ways you can enjoy GTA IV without actually playing it.

Pwn it in teh Haloez


I wouldn't take it on Live, though. Incredibly foul-mouthed and offensive


Have it be your Pilates partner


Remember to be conscious of your breathing


Take it out to see a movie


I highly recommend Iron Man


Enjoy a romantic, candlelight dinner


"You have really beautiful font, you know that?"


And there's always...


Also, check out the "multiplayer".

What kind of job do you have that you can spend so much time thinking up and executing so many consistently kickass blog posts? I want to work in that field, whatever it is.

The floor recognizes the gentlemen from Arizonas' hard work. The floor is now ready to hear arguments on why this should be a regular weekly post. The floor nominated the gentleman from Arizona to create and star in these epic "Pwn Your Games" segments. All in favor...

GTA has clearly brainwashed you into thinking that you can just sleep with any game just because you take it out for dinner and a movie. Disgraceful...

Also hilarious :D

Yes, but it'll take two and a half years of co-habitation to give it a ring.
