The full title was supposed to be "Why is Nintendo such a polarizing company, and why do we care so much about the industry?" One of the most fascinating aspects of videogames to me is the sheer ... more
The coverage on that so far mostly leaves Youtube completely off the hook, and is all about how evil/justified/stupid/smart Nintendo is for going after LPers, while the potentially most important... more
The game industry is changing, and "disruption" is the buzzword of the day. Everyone now plays electronic games in some shape or form, and inclusion is the name of the game. Every publisher's wet... more

Hi dtoid! I recently obtained a graphics tablet, and I'm having a blast using it. I'm not an artist by any means, I just enjoy sketching in my free time. So yeah, I did some fanart of "The Shat... more
For the first time ever today, I joined the Dark Side and traded in a whole bunch of games at Gamestop. Like, around 30 games between PS3, Wii, 3DS and PSP. I generally like keeping my games, loo... more
Destructoid has, like everyone else, fully embraced the Kickstarter craze, and for good reason. The brave, exciting new world of crowd-funding offers a world of opportunities and possibilities un... more
Or: AAA game companies have officially become batshit crazy. It's now well known Square Enix is disappointed with games that sell 3.5 million in 4 weeks, but we didn't know just how disappointed.... more
As any Nintendo fan knows, having a relationship with Nintendo can be really trying at times. Or often! It's like dating a super hot girl who knows she's super hot and thinks she can get away wit... more
Or: 10 hours of my life I'll never get back. It seems my DSi just died. Lovely! Yesterday, I saved my Dragon Quest V game and went to bed. The clock stood at 09:44. So now I try to go back to it... more
One of the reasons that videogames manage to bring me back time and time again is the feeling I get when learning about a game's mechanics or familiarizing myself with a game's world. My favorite... more
Max Payne 3, as some of you may know, is set in São Paulo, Brazil's richest and biggest city. As a Brazilian myself, it was interesting to finally get to play a game set in my country. The target... more
Destructoid hasn't said a word about it yet, so I'll just throw it out here: WE'LL GET A NEW TORMENT GAME!!!!!! WE'LL GET A NEW TORMENT GAME!!!!!!! WE'LL GET A NEW TORMENT GAME!!!!!! Did I menti... more
Last week, a cosmic event of cosmic proportions sent shockwaves throughout the world: some retailers jumped the gun on the price cut, and the PS Vita slightly outsold the Wii U in Japan! This wee... more
In the past couple of weeks, the games I've been playing aligned in such a way that I finished several in row, making a good dent in the sizable backlog to the right: NSMBU, Black Ops 2, The Jak ... more
Why, hello there fellow dtoider! I've been playing quite a lot of games recently, actually quite a lot of ONE game if you must know the truth. If you haven't noticed the title of this blog yet, ... more
When Nintendo announced the Wii U in 2011, EA immediately came off as its strongest advocate. Riccitiello talked of an "unprecedented partnership", and EA execs constantly talked up the console i... more
It all began innocently enough. I went to a buy a new vacuum cleaner and perhaps, depending on the price, a wireless Bluetooth keyboard for my PS3, but I ended up buying so much more than I expec... more
A few days ago, Tom Mc Shea published an article onto Gamespot entitled: "Is Nintendo Trapped by It's Legacy?" It's a well written piece, and I recommend that you go over there and give it a look... more
Hi destructoid. This is a photoshop I did after listening to the latest Podtoid. For those of you who don't know (shame on you!), Podtoid is a podcast hosted by Destructoid's very own Jim St... more
Hi dtoid! It's that time of year again. That time where we look back on the past 365 days and wonder where it all went. For me it's that time where I mourn the amount of hours lost watching vide... more
We're back! Sometime ago, I wrote about my Skyrim exploits. I am now done with the game, and since it was pretty fun the first time, I figured I'd have another crack at it. My save file tells m... more
Around 8 years ago, I had a fascinating conversation with my then 8 years old cousin and godson, who's like a little brother to me. He was talking about either something a female friend of his d... more
Welcome to Norway, I mean, Skyrim! It's been over a month since I began trekking through the holds of Skyrim. During this time I've slayed countless dragons, became arch-mage, saved lives, cons... more
Hi dtoid. I don't know if I've ever told you this, but I love you a lot. I love almost everything about you. The way you manage to make dick jokes at the most inappropriate of times, the amount ... more
So, the thing is, I'm a pretty young guy. I wasn't around for most of the 90's or 80's, so along with bell-bottoms and Pogs, I missed out on the releases of some of the most ground-breaking and r... more
I finally took the plunge and bought Skyrim from Gamersgate. Being as spoiled by Steam as I am, I was patiently waiting for a 75% discount, but unfortunately (for me. Very fortunately for Bethesd... more
