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.

No Discountoid this week but check your local Target Conrad Zimmerman | 3:57 AM on 03.22.2009 17 comments

I'm not going to post a Discountoid on the front page this week because, frankly, it's all too depressing. Best Buy has one game on sale (007: Quantum of Solace, $10 off), Fry's is a desolate wasteland as usual (though they do have an 80Gb PS3 bundle with a free Dual Shock 3 and copy of I Am Legend on teh Blu-rays for $399) and GameStop's ad is just full of crap. Rather than spend three hours combing Amazon for what would essentially be the only real content in the post, I'm just skipping it this week. I did want to clue you, the loyal cblog readers, into a thing Target has this week, though. And I still wanted my weekly excuse to post boobies. Prince of Persia, Rock Band 2 (disc-only version) and Scene It!: Box Office Smash (bundle w/ controllers) are buy one, get one 50% off. But those aren't the only games which qualify for the promotion. According to the ad, other unnamed titles are in on the deal as well. I'm not sure if it's a regional thing or a case-by-case basis, but there are more bargains to be had. Whether they're worth it or not is anyone's guess, but you may want to check it out if you're swinging by a store this week. Hopefully, next week will be better. Happy hunting, gang.
