I did something tonight. I compiled every single Monthly Musing thus far written into a thread entitled Dtoid Forum Discusses: Monthly Musings: I suck at games, for your benefit. I know that the community blogs and the forums don't often ...

Welcome to Living Obstacles, a routine blog series I came up with one day in an extra long shower. Living Obstacles is an attempt to analyze and highlight different boss battles throughout the history of gaming. Depending on the mechanics o...

Dear Pedro, I miss you. It's been eight years since we last saw each other, and though I've held on to the hope that we would one day meet again, I know now that it isn't meant to be. When I first caught you, you were nothing but a wild M...

It was with a great deal of determination and time that I set out to complete Chrono Trigger. I had reached the end many times before, but I had never taken the final step. I had never defeated the tyrant Lavos. If you were to look at it ...

Sup Destructoid? It dawned on me this morning that I have an enormous back log of video games and absolutely no idea where I should start. I've put a bar on myself from buying new video games, with a few exceptions, until I beat every game ...

Thanks to the magic that are flea markets and pawn shops, I found a working Nintendo from 1985 and a few games a couple of weeks ago. Knowing how much you cool cats love video games, I figured I'd share the retro goodness I uncovered throug...

Though video games have matured over the past decade, the brilliance of Starcraft cannot be discounted. As a vehicle for story telling, Starcraft brought a new level of maturity to a sea of PC gamers. The multiplayer aspect of Starcraft has...

I love video games. I think it's safe to say anyone on Destructoid shares this passion. Hopefully this short list of five games I consider great will inspire you to try something new, remind you of a joy you once experienced, or at the very...

Last night I was all alone, A boy asleep in his bed, Now I find myself entwined, In something over my head. Strange creatures assault me at every turn, The princess to me is calling, I grasp my sword in sweet defiance, To keep this wo...

I've noticed that these videos are older than the internet themselves, but judging by the relatively low view counts on Youtube, I have to assume not that many people have seen them. The following videos tell the story of Sockbaby, a sock t...

Fallout 3 is a game that is both hailed by critics as being an inventive, enjoyable title that pushed the boundaries of what games could do through its interactivity and player influence and looked down upon for limiting player choice and...

Disclaimer: This is a repost of a blog I posted on my other account Krow. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, I just wanted it to be moved to my primary account. Now excuse me while I dither on for a bit and share with you a story about The L...

The original Final Fantasy game is not known for its incredible depth or deep gameplay. It helped to jump start the popularity of the RPG genre in North America and Europe with it's battle system and epic quest. Being born in 1992, I didn't...

The Tick: My God, look at this sexy hunk of a man. Go ahead, I�ll let it sink in for a minute. Observe the way the spandex wraps around my firm butt, my chiseled pecks, and my iron hard ABS. Yes, any super model with her salt would be luc...

La fuerza misteriosa mat� a camarada Vexed_Alex conocida como corona con la sal de la cal. Despu�s de apenas dos sorbos de la bebida, perdieron a Alex en un deslumbramiento. Con un muy repentino, " Mierda de Woah, " escuchamos mientras qu...

Double posting is bad, but I don't think anyone will mind considering that this is going up shortly after the Cblog Recaps. I wasn't going to do this tonight but insomnia gripped me and the only thing I could think to cure it with was stack...

It's not until you setup your games in neat stacks and take the time to photograph them that you realize how many you have truly purchased over the past decade. Sadly, I only have games dating as far back as the Playstation and Nintendo 64 ...

Eight years ago I was a child with dreams. I dreamed of the day that I would one day make my own video game, populating it with my own brand of magic, thinking it to be some sort of alternate reality that was entered only by the most elit...

Mega Man 8: 8-Bit Music I was born in the early ninties, which means I'm still young and have all of the vitality and strength that some of you try to recreate in your beards. It isn't working. Being a young gamer means that I only had a...

There aren't any pictures here because my Google is borked. At least, that�s the excuse I�m using, because I wanted this blog to be about text not pretty pictures. If you read on, be forewarned that this blog is of epic proportions. I�ve a ...

Here's an original soundtrack to Mega Man 9, with a bonus thrown in. All of these can be downloaded from http://www.rockmanpm.com/?p=music/rockman9original, all I did was change the main artist to Capcom so that the songs would group toge...

Fan made cover art, not by me. I was browsing the C-Blogs when I found this. The finding of a blog post which linked me to a website that linked me to the music of Castle Crashers was amazing! I also found the whole mess of downloading ea...

I'm a young gamer, age fifteen. The first Mega Man game I ever played was the ill-fated Mega Man 8. All I remember were the stages that kicked my eight year old ass, the ones involving the poorly done jump/slide while you careen down a tunn...
