The King
Drach \| 8:48 AM on 01.14.2009	15 comments

In celebration of the new DLC for Castle Crashers my fiancee drew out the King from the game.
I thought it would be nice to share her drawing with the community.

She was very excited to hear that he became playable, since he is her favourite character in the game.I think his little expressions are the reason why she fell in love with him

She would like to excuse the smudges on the paper though. She had lost her black pencil crayon and had to use charcoal pencils instead.

Late Present

Here he is. He's the little Tin robot that I think of when I see Mr. Destructoid. He was a little hard to find but I finally found a replica of the older ones that were made in the 50's? 60's? I'm not quite sure what era these toys are from.

But anyways, Happy New Year Dtoid.

Gaming Apocalypse
Drach \| 2:53 PM on 01.04.2009	10 comments

It's coming soon.. with the advent of "Guitar Zero" and "Cock band" We've come upon the equivalent of an atomic bomb in the gaming world. "All-star cheer squad" How do people let such crap get made?! Is THIS why I'm not getting a Descent 4 from THQ?! And this seems to be the beginning of the end of gaming as we know it! <sic> Who will be responsible when future generations come across this shit, and look at us like we just farted on their grandmas lap? Most of us will be blamed. Blamed for letting these atrocitys see the light of day.

I saddens me to see such an utter atrocity be dubbed as a "video game" Whatever happened to actually trying out for your schools Cheer squad? or even the damn flag line... I guess society is to blame... That or the "choreographer" who helped make this piece of bear diarrhea.

But it still pisses me off that THQ publishes and produces such atrocity's when they could be working on one of the best First Person Shooters ever made....

Fucking THQ and their fucking stupid fuck shit.

I guess we could fight it by not buying that crap.. but I can see it being a hit with girls 10-16. and even boys 13-15. (hey you can't buy porn here until you're 18, and in some states 21)

GAH! FUCK YOU THQ!

Unreal Gears of War
Drach \| 10:12 PM on 12.25.2008	10 comments

Yeah, it's the unreal engine, I know.. But for some reason the characters in this game (mainly the Cogs) look REALLY similar to some the guys in Unreal Tournament 2004. Almost like someone at Epic copied the Human warriors from UT2k4 and pasted them into GoW and GoW2. I mean.. yeah it's third person and has a cover mechanic.. but I mean.. dude. I'm not stupid, these guys are slightly modified UT characters. It almost feels like a UT mod...

As for my Surprise for the community. Be Patient! He is on his way soon. Just need contact from his current home. =)

Surprise for the Destructoid Community.

I'll be able to order him soon (as soon as the better half's coat gets returned) I won't post a pic until I have him safe and sound amongst his many many friends made of plastic die cast rubber and other sorts of synthetic materials.

Sigh.. Fallout 3.
Drach \| 6:37 PM on 10.09.2008	25 comments

I've never played Fallout. It looks real fun (even 2 and 1 look fun) but the only thing that has kept me from playing it is no multiplayer. Just looking at the preview footage.. yeah, it looks like a blast, but I can't team up with a friend? That alone makes me not want to play it.

Maybe I'll buy Fallout 2? I heard it's like 5 bucks some places.

(mental note: This looks like a Beta for another pay to play MMO)
