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.

In an effort to help my fellow gamers garner the most game for their buck, I'm going to start scouring all of the weekly advertisements from major American retailers on Sundays. If there's a store that I've overlooked, let me know and I'll get it into subsequent weeks. Some decent deals in the stores this week, with the offerings from Circuit City by far some of the better options. Target's prices on a grip of quality PS3 titles are nothing to sneeze at either. Wii Price Breaks High School Musical: Sing It! - 39.99 PSP Price Breaks Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron - $29.99 Madden NFL 08 - $19.99 Socom Tactical Strike - $19.99 Iron Man - 19.99 PS2 Price Breaks Guitar Hero III Wireless bundle - 79.99 If you own a Wii and haven't picked up No More Heroes yet, $19.99 is a price I'd highly recommend grabbing it at. And the Buy One Get One ain't too bad either if there's still a couple of these that you haven't bought yet. Can't recommend the Halo 3 Map Pack deal, however, as the code isn't e-mailed until Ninja Gaiden II ships on 6/3. Buy One Get One 50% Off on Select Wii games Lego Star Wars Complete Saga Super Mario Galaxy Super Smash Bros. Brawl Mario Kart Wii Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 PSP Games for $9.99 Lego Star Wars II Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins MTX vs. ATV: On the Edge Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters free with purchase of PSP Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack free with pre-order of Ninja Gaiden II (Online only) $19.99 Each on Select Games Wii: Rayman Raving Rabbids Wii: No More Heroes Wii: Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge 360: Rainbow Six: Vegas 360: Blue Dragon 360: Call of Duty 2 PS3: Fight Night: Round 3 $10 off Select PS3/360 Games (either platform) Major League Baseball 2K8 Devil May Cry 4 Burnout Paradise 20% Bonus Trade Credit Toward Reservation of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Used Deal of the Week PS3: Heavenly Sword - $39.99 Price Breaks 360: Bioshock - $39.99 PC: The Orange Box - $29.99 Wii: High School Musical: Sing It! - $39.99 PS2: High School Musical: Sing It! - $29.99 Select PS3 Games for $49.99 Warhawk Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Devil May Cry 4 Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction And there it is. Anything you guys are thinking of taking advantage of?
