Frothing at the Mouth for Final Fantasy XIV

I rarely get excited for games anymore, but this is a hell of an exciting year for me. Apart from the OODLES of fantastic 3DS releases on the way, the Wii U finally getting some good titles comin...   more

Frothing at the Mouth for Final Fantasy XIV


Let's Just, You Know...Take it Easy.

So the hype machine is hard at work building up excitement for a new line of Wii U games, people are taking down their pants and bending over Microsoft for a quick tea bagging, and Sony is being ...   more

A Quick Thought on Game Reviews

I don't want to spend forever addressing this topic, but after checking out reviews for The Last of Us, I found a pretty interesting discussion going on at Polygon based around the 7.5 review for...   more

A Quick Thought on Game Reviews


Scrolls

My theory with the "iQuits" of Destructoid and other online blogs is that everybody gets one. After a time, it's expected for people to become a bit disenchanted with their stomping ground of cho...   more



Grognards of Gaming

I am leaving the community; not Destructoid specifically, or out of a vendetta or grudge of any kind; just the entirety of gaming "communities" as a whole. I can imagine this won't disappoint any...   more



Just Games. Move Along.

It's been awhile since I've been around. Stuff happened. It wasn't pleasant. It's over now. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I need to deal with something else. After going without gam...   more



Game Gurlz

So Jim Sterling wrote something or other about whatever the other day, some thing about girls and games and there was a video. Oh wait, no; it was a video he made. It was everyone else who wrote ...   more



My Favorite Console

One of the first memories I have as a child, literally one of the very first things about my existence as a human being on this planet I can remember, is corn. I remember eating corn at my Nana's...   more



Get Nasty with TheManchild on OKCupid, bitches who I totally respect!

What would my life be like if I wasn't married? If I didn't have a little screaming brood running around fucking shit up in my house every day? If she didn't slam the spacebar key while I was pla...   more



Ski Free: Epilogue

Jack Forrester winced as the biting wind from the mountain top assaulted his skin and caused his bones to ache. He hated the cold; his arthritis was beginning to act up worse every winter, and ...   more

A Month of Madness (A blog about writing)

Every now and then I like to put up a writing related blog. After all, that is what most of us are here to do, sharing our thoughts and feelings about the things we love, and sometimes even mor...   more

The Replacement Sequels

The movie industry really sucks these days. Hardly anything groundbreaking ever comes out, and the odd film worth watching is usually ignored by the movie going public. Instead, sequels and rem...   more



Pump U Up #2 - Kirby's Return To Dreamland

This is a newer title, so I was kind of wary about writing about it. This is supposed to be a series more about obscure Wii titles, and Kirby games are anything but. The reception for this game...   more

Mother 2 (Earthbound)

Mother 2, also known as Earthbound, is easily my favorite RPG of all time. Yes, more than Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, or even Granstream Saga...wait, Granstream Saga? Get out of here, you...   more

The Wii Pump Up Report - #1 Ivy The Kiwi?

What is the Wii Pump Up Report you might not be asking? Well, I'm gonna tell you anyways; I'm super pumped for the Wii U. Got my pre-order in and everything. But there are a lot of folks who ar...   more

Screw you, Lucas.

Yeah, I'm talking to you. You trilogy peddling bastard. I grew up with the Star Wars franchise, and it is probably the only thing from my childhood which I have become so disenfranchised with. D...   more

Screw you, Lucas.


Why I'm Buying Wii U

Sick as a dog yesterday. Headache, cold, aches, no good. I was rooting through a bunch of my old shit to see if I could find something fun to do. Over the last couple of months I have been stud...   more



Bulk Bin Episode 1: The Final Chapter

Oh snap, did your Destructoid C-Blog page get set to "shuffle" by mistake? Did everything get all mixed up and random? Do you even know what I'm talking about CAUSE I DON'T Here is a picture o...   more

Bulk Bin Episode 1: The Final Chapter


Issues

No, my issues aren't about corn. I am definitely pro corn. If I have learned one thing this week, it's that gamers issues matter; there are now a lot of us. Too many to properly pigeonhole or ...   more



A Quickie on EVE

I have been hopelessly addicted to EVE online the past week. You always hear about it, maybe you download the trial and decide you are too "lost in space" to get a grip on things, but this tim...   more

Ecco the Dolphin: Twenty Years of Beauty and Terror

Today is the twentieth anniversary of Ecco the Dolphin, a severely underrated Sega Genesis classic which has been lost quite literally in the tides of time. Ecco is one of my favorite games to ...   more



The Cult of Personality

I live in a big city now, and have since I was a teenager. But before coming here after my parents went through a messy divorce, I lived in a little northern town in the middle of the woods. ...   more

Next-Gen: The War of Independants

One of my favorite moments from The Sopranos is when "the family" is talking about the hurting economy, and how it is adversely affecting their profits. Tony Soprano asks Silvio Dante which two b...   more

An Aside About Blogging, Writing, and Reading.

I learned to read the other day. Since I was barely a fetus ejected out of my mothers vagina, I have been playing with books. Quite literally playing, when I was young; biting the corners of thi...   more



Terror

Sometimes I sit and look around at this mess of life I have created for myself. I start to feel very self loathing; there is something pretentious in me that believes I was meant for something mo...   more



Faust 64

The tale of Faust is one deep seated in Germanic folklore; a successful scholar, Faust had a thirst for knowledge which led to him making a deal with the devil, one where he exchanged his eternal...   more

Well, I guess it didn`t matter after all.

I hate to be so pessimistic, but right out of the gate, I had my doubts about Lollipop Chainsaw. And by doubts, I mean I thought it was a fucking idiotic concept wrapped up in a paper thin facade...   more

My Dream Game: Squad Leader

Who hasn't sat there and imagined at one point in their life, what kind of game they would like to see on the market? When I was a kid, my stupid cousins and I (yes, also stupid) would imagine wh...   more
