The sound of many hands fapping...

Yup, the next Xbox might not be for you. The rumours of an "always on" internet connected next-generation Xbox aren't particularly new, though recent leaks and the distinct lack of any outrigh... more
I got to level 157 or so in Defiance during the beta week... so apparently I liked the game. It releases today on my Birthday, April 2nd, and there's a pretty decent chance I'll be getting the... more
Short answer? Of course they do. Post's over. Long answer? The rest of this post. If you’ve seen my posts before, you probably know what I’m all about. Good stories! Interesting leads! ... 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
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
I know that Anita Sarkeesian's "Damsel in Distress" initial video of her examination of Tropes vs Women in Video games is due to drop tomorrow, so I wanted to get some of my thoughts out previo... more
I know that opinions may vary pretty wildly on the game, but in all honesty I like . I like it a lot more than I thought I would, and even months after its release I’ll go out of my way to pla... more
Last year for Valentine's Day my husband got me a funny little book called " and included really nice pictures of guys saying things like "" or "". It was cute and I thought it would be fun to ... more
No one is more than aware of my aptitude of making crushingly long posts. So in an effort to try and get over that bad habit, here’s everything you need to know about this post condensed into ... more
So, it’s my first Destructoid post since the start of the new year. One would think that such a weighty title would drive me to say something meaningful. Something with an overwhelming amount... more
…What a year. That’s the most I can say without diving into another multi-thousand-word spiel on vaguely-compelling topics/primers on hot dog-eating etiquette. I mean, there is more that I co... more
Real talk. You guys know me by now, right? I know I’m not the most notable name on Destructoid, but I’ve posted at least twenty, maybe thirty things on here in the past year or so. So I’m ho... more
And in a flash of green, Voltech’s on the scene! That’s…that’s, uh…my tentative catch phrase. I’m still working on it. Anyway, I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving, and in case I don’t ge... more
I'm not a competitive person. I tend to prefer multiplayer shooter games that are based on team tactics and allow for helping out team members with the ability to play medic or engineer or oth... more
So I finally (after trying out a LOT of demos) found a Kinect game I actually like. Someone on another blog indicated that the game Rhythm Party was similar to the old Eyetoy Groove game... so... more
First off, for those that don't know - I am an old, white female. My gender has occasionally been questioned, but I can describe menstrual cramps in detail, and I can also now give a crash cou... more
I can't help feeling a bit maternal about those on my buddy list.. I care about you! I also can't help but notice that some of you are playing - all the time, - probably too much. I wonder ... more
You know, I’ve been thinking. (Cue the frenzied screams of a thousand innocent orphans.) I like video games. I like a lot of video games -- and say what you will about the industry today, bu... more
Hold on a minute... let me put down this cooking pot, untie my apron, put on some lipstick, ask my husband for permission to write this blog and vent a bit. Dammit! Why the hell didn't someb... more
So, here we go. I haven't really commented on much -- at least not in a public manner -- and I’m kind of glad I’ve stayed out of it. It seems like there are counterpoints for any possible ar... more
You know, I’ve been thinking. (Cue hellish organ chord and stroke of lightning here.) I think I might have a problem -- one that only seems to become more prevalent as time passes. It’s prob... more
Yes, yes I did! I picked him up, carried him to the cliff edge... and tossed him off!! My husband and I had an argument about him wanting to buy a new car. He wants to buy a sports car that w... more
You know, I’ve never been someone too in tune with religion. My fondest memories of the church include being bored out of my mind, listening to the pastor go into a rant that involved Batman a... more
I love Dragon's Dogma! I've played most of the WRPG games out there and Dragon's Dogma blends the best of character customization, open world, quest driven tropes with some interesting and to... more
…Voltech returns! (Wait, did anyone notice I was gone…?) There was a post about The Last Story over on Siliconera -- one that included the thoughts of one of its lead developers. The gist of... more
I've talked before about how gaming can help relieve post-operative pain and recovery from surgery ( ) and some evidence seems to additionally suggest that video games can not only help the pat... more
My favorite video game character represents everything I want in a female game character. She's usually older and wiser, with white or graying hair. She is brave, independent and incredibly ... more
I have a confession to make: I’m not really a fan of the Dynasty Warriors series. I mean, at one point I was -- when I played the fourth game on the PS2, I was pleasantly surprised. I made a ... more
Voltech, of all people, is making a short post? Miracles do happen! Anyway, for the past couple of weeks I've been working on a collaborative project with my blogging comrade, Konstantine. W... more
