I love you Destructoid for your love of EGM/1UP.
Redzie | 1:24 AM on 01.07.2009 15 comments


Sad news falls upon us today. Effectively today, the 1UP network has been acquired by UGO and in its wake, the legendary gaming publication Electronic Gaming Monthly has passed on. Also among the casualties is most of the 1UP Network's staff, who put together a group of excellent podcasts every week. Now they are no more.

I would like to salute Destructoid, a blog by gamers for gamers, who were one of the first pay their respects to the loss of the gaming industry.

Thank you Destructoid for honoring Electronic Gaming Monthly with by adorning this on your website:



EGM and 1UP, Destructoid loves you.

PS:
UGO, for effectively killing off EGM and stripping 1UP of its soul and wearing its skin like Buffalo Bill,



You just made the Internet your enemy, UGO.
It's on like Donkey Kong, Motherfucker.

A new Desutoid appears!!!
Redzie | 10:58 PM on 12.18.2008 8 comments



O hai thar! Tis I, Redzie aka Red Baylon on Japanator aka... DESUTOID!!! So if anyone remembers Mr Desutoid, the cosplay doppleganger of his Robot Lordship--- Mr Destructoid, I've quite gone through a few iterations of the robot helmet and this is the 4th one I've made (the 3rd one caught on fire). I've been busy with holiday preparation with the folks and also trying to write for Jtor while having computer problems has just been hectic for me and this is what I've come up with:

DESUTOID MK 1 version 2!!!


Built from the frame of the first Desutoid helmet, it looks different from the old Desutoid helmets cause I used paint instead of foil for less crinkles and creases. But there's something different about this one, No not lack of ears but look:


Yes!!! for maximum network pimpage I've included the nerd trinity of blogs on the back, mimicking the real Destructoid helmet!!! I'm gonna be running around Onicon Houston tomorrow spreading the Robot's Gaming Gospel!!!

I PROMISE I WONT DO ANYTHING STUPID IN THE NAME OF MODERNMETHOD

New Dragonball Trailer shows Green Piccolo! Goku, still white
Redzie | 9:39 AM on 12.10.2008 19 comments



---As originally posted on Japanator.com

Hollywood, you sly devil. In this war for box office profit with movie adaptations you wage, the fanboys are often the first casualties, but now there's something different. What's this I see? Piccolo is green? GREEN?! You've changed something in your movie into something that is actually similar to it's source material?

Fresh from the internets in this dreary Wednesday morning, DBthemovie.com serves us up a new trailer of the newly-renamed, highly doubted film adaptation Dragonball: Evolution. Judging from this trailer, stuff we've seen in the anime are present such as planet destruction and balls of dragons. I can't help but feel weird with aspects of the movie shown in the trailer, such as the fights being done in over-wrought wire-fu glory while the CG effects have little to no use in the fight sequences.

Everybody knows that the fights in Dragon Ball are very much like the final fight between Neo and Agent Smith in the last Matrix movie. Also, please don't tell me that sorry-ass fireball is a Kamehameha.

(not and/or very) Ready to Monday!!! SPECIAL EDITION
Redzie | 3:16 PM on 11.22.2008 3 comments


So hey, wasn't last night a blast? You know, that thing you did to start of the weekend? Oh, it sucked? Well, It's satruday afternoon wherever you are in the USA and saturday night is fast approaching.

What else is approaching? MONDAY!!!!

But this week's different; for the Americans, its Thanksgiving. It's that holiday where America's founding fathers ate Turkey with those native Americans for the sole purpose to gain their trust only to have them screwed over in the following decades.

So I urge you after our trailer of tonight from the good folks over at Japanator that you tell us your plans for this week.

The trailer is for Detroit Metal City, a movie based on a Japanese comic about the most reserved dork you ever know who secretly is the frontman for a Japanese Hardcore Metal band. Their songs have lyrics such as fuck, rape and murder. A nice family movie.



Get ready toooooooo MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 about me




My name is Red. My gaming roots consisted of me watching my cousins play games on the famicom from 9 in the morning til 3. Then I had to go away to the land of sand where I was trained to be a ninja of the sand to fight terrorism. My training consisted of the Sega Megadrive which came prepackaged with AlienStorm, which was once dubbed as "Showgirls of video games" by the Concelmo. Later on I moved on to the Playstation. Due to my limited funding and due to game publishers in the US not caring about Ninjas training in the sand like me, I resorted to black market alternatives. My great gaming memories consisted of pirated games which I had plentiful of due to the lack of giving a damn by the local authorities. All those games kept me sane in the desert wasteland. I was a prisoner in my own ninja fortress. Then all my training was for naught when the US military beat me to my ultimate mission: CAPTURE SADDAM HUSSEIN. But then they discovered that he was an impostor. Intelligence reports point out that he is where I am stationed now: TEXAS. My mission continues on.
