Monday Night Destructoid Left 4 Dead
mikeyrab | 6:26 PM on 11.24.2008 17 comments


I guess it's that time, time to have the first of hopefully a long-running weekly Destructoid Left 4 Dead nights!

Yes, the name doesn't exactly have the same ring as Friday Night Fights and it's doubtful any of you need a specific reason to play Left 4 Dead at this point. Still, let's have some fun, meet some new dtoid-ers, and not suck.

Post your steam name OR xbox gamertag, depending on your system of choice, if you want to get in on the fun or host a game. I should be on around 9/930ish EST.

Let's do this. Or not. Preferably do.

Possible weekly Left 4 Dead Night?
mikeyrab | 11:38 PM on 11.23.2008 23 comments


So it seems that a good share of the site and it's members are as obsessed as i am with Left 4 Dead right now. With that, I think it might be a good idea to start a small, weekly dtoid get together ala FNF focused on Left 4 Dead.

I'm thinking Wednesdays? Thoughts? Opinions? Insults?

ATTN: CHICAGO AREA RETRO GAMERS
mikeyrab | 7:56 PM on 05.22.2008 21 comments


Today I found a new store that I think a lot of you would be interested in, especially if you hate using ebay and such to get your retro gaming fix.

PEOPLE PLAY GAMES
3264 N Clark St

Retrogaming resale store, tended by a fanatical owner who will share his profound knowledge of video games with you. Old-school games, many in original packaging, pre-screened and cleaned. Games you forgot existed, ready to buy, take home and play. Instant gratification that ebay cannot deliver, and a 30-day replacement/repair guarantee on practically everything.

Lots of old NES, Atari, Sega Saturns, Dreamcasts, SNES, etc. etc.

some pictures from my visit earlier...






Finally managed to get a copy of NBA Jam TE for the SNES. Life is good.
