Hey folks, welcome to the weekend. As we press forward into mid-September and the fall season, it can't be denied that it feels like 2020 has been, well, a bit of a bust. I get that. I think to a degree we're all getting that. But just keep...

[Update: The winning title is Control, with about 40% of the votes, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy came in a strong second. Thanks to everyone who voted! We'll do this again soon, and don't worry, the runners-up will get their day!]Friends, I'm...

And you made it. I made it. We all made it. It is the end of another week and I hope that it is a week that finds you and yours very well. It's still a weird world filled with strange days (great movie), but I do think we're all showing inc...

So yeah, last week's "Whatcha Been Playin'?" was a little deep and I really appreciate the kind comments I received in return. The simple fact of the matter is that it's important to me that y'all know you're important. I don't dally about ...

Sometimes, I use this spot as an opportunity to talk about my thoughts on all matters gaming. Sometimes, I use it to touch upon world events at large. Sometimes, I don't know what to say and just talk about my infatuation with Z-grade explo...

I don't know what it's like in your neck of the woods, but Hoo Boy its been scorchio here this week. Not quite as hot as last year - when my chocolate bar went grey and my PS4 console was fried in a thunderstorm - but the humidity here is p...

A light-gun shooter without the light-gun; a cover shooter without cover; a first-person QTE simulator; an awful life experience - Rambo: The Video Game is all of these things and more. Teyon's infamously bad 2014 release attempts to authen...

To paraphrase The Rolling Stones, Tiii-iiime isn't on my side. No it isn't. Between work, some ongoing real-life situations, and an unscripted night in the hospital, I'm not finding the gaps to indulge in some of my loves - and I don't even...

In today's contest we're giving away a log. A piece of wood. And also Log Jammers for Steam. Few websites have the guts to give away real, tangible prizes. Fewer still have the fortitude to go out of their way to host contests featuring exc...

Steam is back with another game-backlog-clearing exercise for 2020. I barely made a dent last year, but I enjoyed having a nudge to play – or at least think about playing – some of my library's deep cuts. This time, Steam's Spri...

Last month, I had my first vacation since May of last year. It only lasted for 20 days, but I finally had all day to myself. I even took a pause from Destructoid and the monthly recaps thanks to some great help by Sharukurusu who is actual...

We buy games – a lot of games – and we don't always finish them. Hey, it happens! That's just how backlogs go. This weekend, Steam is here to give us a nudge in the right direction with the Spring Cleaning Event. It's a challeng...

Let’s be honest, many of us have backlog problems. We’re constantly compelled to keep up with the latest gaming trends and the most exciting releases. We have a variety of reasons why we may want to buy new games now rather than...

Last week I asked what everybody's gaming resolution for 2018 was and more than few Destructoid readers responded with some idea pertaining to their backlog. A backlog is something we likely all have and as we grow older and have to adjust ...

[Let he who doesn't have a massive, irritating fucking backlog cast the first stone! Let jaygerbomb regale you with a tale on this Thanksgiving Day of how a simple act of buying games on clearance led him to a lifelong struggle of resisting...

New games are releasing all the time. For this reason, especially in the digital age, a lot of us find ourselves tasked with chipping away at seemingly insurmountable backlogs when we aren't playing the newest releases.   Over my years...

[Local naked cblogger NakedBigBoss has some tips for you in case you're drowning in a big backlog. Chances are, if you have a backlog, then it exists because you're older and have adult responsibilities. I mean, if you're younger than that,...

[Dtoid community blogger TriplZer0 shares some insight into dealing with an all-too-common first-world problem. (Who knew I was actually depressed all this time?!) Want to see your own words appear on the front page? Go write some...

Today, Mash Tactics is picking up that old Master Sword, in the form of a golden Wii remote, to once again save the eponymous princess in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Potentially one of the last great Wii releases, and arguably one o...

After a journey which has lasted nine months and seen the end of twenty-five games, tonight Backlog comes to its conclusion. People used to joke that Fable III, the least popular game ever to appear in a round of voting would be the la...
