About Me


Yo. I just graduated from Syracuse University, with a major in Television/Film at the Newhouse School.

I love video games, gaming/nerd culture, examining games critically as an art form, and all the useless trivia and data surrounding games. I am a consumer whore. Gaming is obviously one of my primary hobbies, though not the only one. I'm a regular on Failcast.

I also watch anime and read manga when I get the chance. It's mostly just mainstream and shonen stuff as a result of the ease of accessibility, though I try to see some more obscure series when I get the chance.

I have epic hair.

I play bass guitar and have been in a band. It's broken up. I lived the dream.

I love rock. I tend to gravitate towards various types of punk, alternative, or indie, though I'll listen to anything. Bob Dylan rocks. Also, random weird underground stuff. The NES sound chip was amazing.

Dtoid's 2008 Completed Games List: May Update
Bob Muir | 11:16 AM on 06.07.2008 12 comments




I'm going to open this with a fairly blatant advertisement: this update is brought to you by your good friends at Win a Free Copy of Bleach DS from Necros: "Write a cblog according to the guide and you too can get free stuff from Necros! A marvel for the kiddies! Solves world hunger and makes you popular!" Oh, and it'd be a nice way to add another game to your completed games list.

And with that artfully inserted segue-way (I've been learning from Yashoki), we're onto the May update for the games that Destructoid has finished (and bothered to list). I'm guessing the month of finals was rough on a lot of you, because we've hit our lowest amount of games completed in a month so far. Then again, it took me almost the entire month to finish one game (not the one you'd think I'd play in April), so I'm not one to talk. Anyways, people have already been listing games in June, so head on over to the full list to add in your accomplishments. It's just like achievements, but on the honor system!

To put a little context to the way the list works:

1. Completion does not mean that you have to do X, Y, and Z for it to be completed. Completion is whatever you consider finished, whether that is just beating the game, getting every achievement, or unlocking every single item.
2. Games released via digital distribution count too! You can list XBLA and PSN games separately, but realize that I will be putting them under Xbox 360 and PS3 listings in the main list. Wii VC games will be listed under their console of origin, since they play exactly the same with no changes.
3. If you beat a game that you've beat in the past, it still counts! The list is for games completed in 2008, regardless of previous completion.
4. Some "games" are actually compilations, such as Sonic Mega Collection and The Orange Box. Since there are multiple games, please list each of them separately.
5. If the game is multiplayer only, it's hard to actually complete it. If you want something like Team Fortress 2 to count, make sure it's some goal like "got all achievements" or "raised skill rank to 50" and note it in your list.
6. Remember, this isn't a competition. This is just for fun. We're not here to compare our e-peens.

Fucking hell, I forgot about this again. It’s okay, though; due to May being finals month, I didn’t beat anything.
