How Destructoid single-handedly changed my mother’s opinion of gaming
kauza | 12:04 PM on 09.28.2009 54

I started playing videogames at a very young age – a time when gaming was largely viewed as a hobby for children. This was the prevalent belief in my household as well. As my brother moved on t...

Guide: How to STFU about the DSi LL
Topher Cantler | 10:53 PM on 10.29.2009 77

Ladies and gentlemen, it appears we have another case of ... Wait... No, that's... It actually IS kind of fucked up that they did that. Nevermind. Carry on.

Everything on Wikipedia is literally true
Jim Sterling | 4:40 PM on 09.16.2009 95

For some reason, I have a Wikipedia page. Despite the fact it has numerous issues and has been vandalized countless times, it's managed to stay up for about a year. I do not know why. Anyway, peo...

My neighbor works for Bangbus and I work for Destructoid
Niero | 10:32 PM on 10.27.2009 64

Today I was moved to RealityKings. Its a little more intense than working for Fling, which was the quasi-dating thing I signed up for. The guy sitting next to me does Flash design and all h...

The Heart of Destructoid: A song for the community
Chad Concelmo | 12:57 PM on 09.09.2009 80

PAX is always such an amazing experience for me. I have always had such an immense respect and admiration for the Destructoid community, and finally getting to meet the people I love so much i...

UmUhUhUmmYouKnow - my Samit Tribute
Dale North | 3:30 PM on 09.11.2009 57

This is my tribute to Mr. Browntown himself, Destructoid's own Samit Sarkar. Podtoid listeners have called him out for his abusive use of "um" and "uh" and "you know," you know. Give the mix ...

So guess what was in my closet ...
Jim Sterling | 1:28 PM on 09.26.2009 71

Seriously. That was in the closet in our apartment. I've been here almost a year and I did not know there was a Dreamcast just around in a closet. This is both amazing and ludicrous. I think...

Quite possibly the best Amazon customer review ever (Borderlands)
Zen Albatross | 7:21 PM on 11.03.2009 45

And just like that, any remaining doubt you once had about purchasing Borderlands is gone. Thank you and good night.

Last night's episode of South Park
Chad Concelmo | 11:59 AM on 10.29.2009 61

First of all, it was an episode about slaughtering dolphins. It was brutal to watch when the Japanese would spear the poor dolphins in the face, but it was absolutely hilarious. I loved it. Bu...

Interview with Jim Sterling [Intro Blog]
SpaceHelicopters | 3:33 PM on 09.25.2009 20

I’ve been visiting dtoid for just over a year and never really got around to making a blog post. I’ve obviously decided to change that. As you can see I have my avatar and even made a horrible ba...

Destructoid's new ad campaign gets violently happy
Niero | 7:56 PM on 10.12.2009 81

The banners were rejected. They asked me to tone it down. Foiled again! Maybe I should just run these on 4chan instead. I was in New York last week and ran into a guy that runs a popular ...

The lures of fabricated Controversy.
Y0j1mb0 | 10:43 AM on 09.17.2009 52

It must be hard being a game journalist or a game blogger. I'll be honest, I don't really know the difference between the two vocations. I guess one of them has a degree that the other one doe...

So, I made a giant Mega Man on my wall.
Slique | 11:56 AM on 11.22.2009 34

I really wanted to personalise my room at University a bit more, but as we're not allowed to damage the walls themselves with hooks and whatnot, I had to get creative. And being the geek that I a...

New Community Blog features, new PM features
Niero | 10:51 PM on 11.12.2009 51

I come bearing gifts with spread arms and legs! Don't be filthy, it's an innocent gesture. You can now send PMs to Dtoiders that don't have forum accounts. You'll spot the new PM buttons n...

Videogames helped me beat a life-threatening illness. Here's how:
Musicman | 5:03 PM on 10.15.2009 23

In today's society, the general public has taken a liking to using videogames as our nation’s (and possibly world's) scapegoat. Whether it be declining test scores, obesity, violence, or simply w...

Dear Diary, I've Met Someone Else
blehman | 10:48 AM on 09.16.2009 41

Dear Diary, It's been a long time since I've written in you, so I guess I should start back at the beginning. I've been in a dedicated relationship with a girl for a long time. I've been faith...

I don't like Valentin Seleznyov
The Female Gamer Badge | 6:41 PM on 10.27.2009 32

I came home from the forums today to Valentin Seleznyov trying to play "Troll Destructoid". He wasn't doing very well. "Aw, bless" I thought, then recommended we get him a grizzled team of profes...

A Destructoid Thanksgiving.
Y0j1mb0 | 7:09 AM on 11.24.2009 34

[ . ] When I was much younger, beardless and ignorant, I never got Thanksgiving. Oh sure, I knew what it was supposed to entail yet all I could piece together from it in my mind was the gatheri...

Halloween '09: A closer look at the Prinny outfit
Ashley Davis | 1:19 PM on 11.02.2009 38

Hey doods! I made a last week after being inspired by my own costume making experience. I wanted to follow up with a more personal look at what I ended up wearing out in the crowded streets of P...

Game lessons that don’t work in real life.
Handy | 12:44 PM on 10.19.2009 20

Like many of you I’ve been playing games from a very young age. Throughout that time I picked up many values, morals, and methods that I’ve tried to apply to my everyday life. A lot of them.........

Hey Destructoid, Happy Thxgiving.
MrSadistic | 11:51 AM on 11.26.2009 31

Hey Destructoid, it's been a while hasn't it? how's it going? How've you been? How's the kids? How's the raging case of butt herpes? Still mad at me for boning your smoking hot wife last Kwanzaa?...

The 10 Worst Types of Video Game Customers
TheDustinThomas | 5:28 PM on 11.13.2009 44

I’ll let there be no secrets here. I work a full-time and a part-time job, and the part-time job is at GameStop. Don’t hate. But before I started working at GameStop, I worked at a lot of diff...

Celebrating the anniversary of Majora's Mask with a lot of love
Krow | 7:01 PM on 11.10.2009 36

Majora's Mask is as simple a game as it is a complex one. As heartwarming a game as it is soul crushing. In all my years as a player, I have yet to encounter another experience in media that affe...

Hey guys, I know that I have had some pretty large displays of belligerence and outrageous behavior on this site, but lemme take a moment to be serious. Our second son, Trevor, was born August 1...

PAX and the tale of the silver flasks
Colette Bennett | 7:31 PM on 09.14.2009 61

As you can see in the photo above, next to my BioShock Big Daddy and Little Sister and framed photo of Niero in front of MTV Studios, there is one incredibly hip looking silver flask. With the ...

Funktastic | 2:25 PM on 10.13.2009 37

So, I’m a little late with this and all, but I’ve got a lot on my plate. Over a month ago, some sort of gaming event/convention happened. You guys may have heard of it before . . . the Penny-...
