We took a week off to gather our chakras and set our crystals in neat rows, but the Podtoid crew is back. Actually, this episode was up on the Internet as early as Tuesday evening, but malevolent feng shui kept us from putting up a post not...   read

At PAX West this year, I made it a point to say "Beer for My Horses" as often as I could. I wasn't sure what the context was. I guess it's like how they say "Roll Tide" in the south. "You ready for that exam tomorrow?" "Roll Tide." "Johnny,...   read

Have you heard tell of this new PlayStation 4? It's slimmer and, uh, not as good looking. That's all according to the many many leaks that have hit the Internet this week. It won't be officially announced until September 7 -- two weeks...   read

We had a fabulous question this week that ended up comprising the bulk of our conversation in this, the slow season for games, and that is: which minigames actually surpass the game they're housed within, like an 8 ball hidden within a matr...   read

Well, shit. Everyone's talking about No Man's Sky. Every website has a million No Man's Sky articles up (including us, admittedly), all the social media sites are filled with interesting No Man's Sky pictures and videos -- so many...   read

Last week, I reviewed Abzu and wasn't completely taken with it. However, much of the games press seems to have loved it, so Brett Makedonski, Steven Hansen, and I dedicated a small Podtoid to it. By listening, you can better understand...   read

No Man's Sky is the big story these days, and it got us thinking about some of our favorite science fiction games and series over the years. There have been some good 'uns. Like the one with the space ship and the lasers! Classic. I won't s...   read

Minutes after I started No Man's Sky last night, I was tasked with finding a wealth of Heridium. The scanner pulled one up that was a six-minute walk. Off I went, collecting resources and analyzing animals along the way. Six minutes se...   read

Games get perfect 10 scores from time to time. It's not often, and it's usually only the truly special ones that reach this peak. Those games clearly meant a lot to the reviewers who played them. But, on occasion, those of us who aren't tas...   read

Levity isn't necessarily a strong suit for this week's Podtoid. Don't let the title fool you; we talk about some of the worst games we've ever had to review, funerals, funerals again, and Darren's snake collection. All bad things. Even thou...   read

Against our better judgment, the Podtoid crew can sometimes be capable of talking about video games. Sometimes. It's kind of hard to talk about current games right now because of this dang summer drought that we're stuck in. So, we decided ...   read

Sure, basically all of the supposed leaks about Bethesda's press conference ended up being true. But Steven Hansen, Brett Makedonski, Darren Nakamura, and I still have some predictions about what we're expecting from E3 2016 -- which m...   read

Look, I don't name these things, so if you take umbrage with the meme, take it up with producer Kyle MacGregor. If you like the meme, well then give this podcast a listen, so long as you go in knowing we don't say much about anime. But we d...   read

Maybe the biggest gaming surprise of the year so far has been how excellent Doom turned out. Seriously, there was tremendous doubt all the way up until the minute it launched. Then, once the campaign starts, well, those concerns all me...   read

The three most beloved Destructoid writers and Steven took enough time away from playing and writing about Overwatch to record another podcast. We're selfless creatures like that. (Everything we do) we do it for you. On this episode, w...   read

Overwatch is the hottest game on the planet right now. Everyone's playing it -- everyone, including most of the Destructoid staff. So, naturally, a few of us (Jordan Devore, Zack Furniss, and yours truly) got together to have a round-table ...   read

Last week I got some hands-on experience with Mass Effect: New Earth: A 4D Holographic Journey and that's a big topic of discussion on this week's Podtoid with MacGregor, Nakamura and myself. I also kicked ass in the Podtoid Hotdish for the...   read

On this week's episode of Podtoid, Destructoid's flagship podcast, Darren and the gang got to talkin' about Battleborn, which obviously made us remember this important tidbit of video game history:  Since we refuse to let this die, we...   read

If you have phantasmal "force" magic, why would you manually crank off ever again when you could get a ghost handy, tickle your own prostate and force choke yourself all at the same time? Especially if you have cold mechano-hands like Darth...   read
