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
Man, a lot and yet nothing at all has happened since I last posted here in April. Let me see if I can summarize. Personal life stuff happened that got me a bit down in the dumps. I discovered so... more
I didn't want to tell you this baby, but everyone's has been saying it behind your back and it's true. Every time I slide you into my console slot, you pop up on my screen and I want to to smac... more
Oh Canada and the United States, those wonderful, wonderful lands of opportunity freedom, prosperity, honor, the American dream... and, most important of all... cheap games! What's that, you say?... more
There's certain pastimes and hobbies out there that people take very little notice of or make sweeping assumptions about. In general, unless a hobby is extremely bizarre, only in the "" sense... more

... is now silenced. Apparently the fap button has been replaced by a generic "like" button and previous fap records have all disappeared. I find I rather miss seeing the fap numbers on some of... 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
It's hard to play a game like and not noticed or worse yet, ignore the potent level of symbolism, allegory and references to religion. This isn't meant to be a stirring article, it's not meant... 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

I never did play Demon Souls... even though I normally love WRPG styled games. I heard it was difficult, as in brutally difficult and when I want to have my ass kicked, I generally load up an on... 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
How can we complain about bad representations of feminism when the basic principle topics they talk about are without a doubt true and exist? Why are we arguing over who made a better case for ... more
Let’s start this off in a professional manner shall we: I do not give a damn about graphics in computer games exceeding what they are now. It does not keep me from slumber, it does not hold mu... more

(Sorry for the shoddy quality of this blog. I didn't get a chance to clean it up and just wanted to put something up here. Been feeling a bit of lack-of-contributing-guilt. Hopefully it makes f... more
I've been a gamer since I was a nameless, genderless, adventurer in games like Zork and Myst. I then moved on to the Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dales series of games and I alwa... more
