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.

Looking for participants in Dtoid Discusses
Conrad Zimmerman | 9:40 PM on 01.21.2009 24 comments


As I mentioned earlier today in the Destructoid Discusses post, we're starting a new thing with the series. We want to get you guys involved and we'll be snagging a community member each week to share their insight on whatever topic it is we decide to run with.

If you'd like to be a part of the conversation, all you have to do is shoot me a PM or an e-mail (conrad at destructoid dot com) to express your interest. Also, if you have any ideas for topics, send those along as well. We could always use another thing or two to yammer on about, especially if we know it's something you guys are interested in.

***Yes, right, the forums are down. My bad. Nothing to see here. Move along and send me an e-mail***



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Thanks, Conrad!
I would love to offer my independent, unbiased opinion to the loyal DTOID followers...
After reading your profile, I have to agree, man...
Mega Man 2 is fucking awesome! Always will be!

I'd love to. I always find myself struggling to keep from yelling shit at my screen when I read Dtoid Discusses because I have some point I want to make. Looks like you have lots of people to choose from, but count me in as soon as I come up in the rotation.

I'm up for it, Conrad, but I also just participated in one of Tactix's cblog discussions last week, so I'd understand if you picked some people who haven't gotten to discuss anything yet. Let me know if you're talking about a topic you think I'd be interested in.
