[TheBlondeBass put together a game jam and invited the Destructoid community to join him for the journey. After all the smoke had settled, he wrote this blog detailing his experience and even shared a link to the finished product, along wit...

[I almost never care even the slightest bit about whatever flavor-of-the-week video game has taken the world by storm, but Fall Guys is different. It speaks to me on a primal level, and you can bet your ass that I have strong opinions ...

[Manasteel88 is here to tell you about their recent excursions into game development, and it looks like they brought their kid along for the ride too! In fact, they've even been kind enough to share some links to the cool stuff that both th...

[There are some corners of the world where the video game development scene isn’t spotlighted quite as well as others, and that’s a shame. There’s so much cool stuff being put out into the universe from really unexpected p...

[Sam van der Meer is here to talk to you about mushrooms. No, he's not referring to psychedelic mushrooms. We’re not here to talk about something that might prompt you to run around at midday in a public park, wearing only your underw...

[I love personal end of years gaming lists. Each one is a look into the types of games that bring joy to the author. It's also a great way to see if there are any games that I missed over that period. While it's easy enough just to hammer o...

[If there are games that haven't gotten new entries in years, seemingly disappearing from the zeitgeist, and wasting their potential, Lord Spencer has probably played them. Arc the Lad has always been that game in the periphery as I went on...

[There are a lot of amazing blogs that have been promoted to the front page of Destructoid over the years, and some of them absolutely deserve another look. We're going to be occasionally boosting some of the classics, in case you missed th...

[Uber-popular Fortnite streamer Ninja set a cat among the gaming pigeons several days ago with his comments regarding how players react and respond to defeat in games. In this community blog, Destructoid reader Chris Bradshaw weighs in with...

[I’ve always been fascinated with peoples’ stories about how smaller or potentially overlooked elements of a video game can resonate with them in a unique and personal way. Not only is it just interesting to hear about, but it c...

[Nior is here to take us on a journey of their life, using video games as touchstones for important moments. Some of this is incredibly personal, and I’d like to thank them for taking the time to share. – Kevin] Last year I turn...

[I’ve been following Puppet Combo’s work for a few years now, and I love everything I've seen, but I still haven’t gotten around to actually playing any of their titles yet. Luckily, Xeo is here to remind me to tighten the...

[I remember licensed games being the bane of my existence when I was younger. It was like the glut of shovelware that plagues us nowadays, including Early Access games. I couldn't look past a shelf without seeing some movie tie-in game. Sin...

[Boy, it's been a while! So here I am, rolling through the cblogs, looking to catch up, when the first of many blogs I enjoyed reading was the suggestion to try a series in a genre I don't normally play except for kart-racing shenanigans. I...

Hey everyone, Perro here! It's been nearly three months since the last entry for Comments of the Week, so please forgive us for the late start to 2019! It's already three months into the new year, and with each passing week we are fully awa...

[Some people can just cruise through video games like nothing matters, lapping up all the knowledge and skill in various titles like so much potent potables. The rest of us need people like Fivefinger Delta to tell us how to tie our shoes a...

[It's easy to laugh off a title like Just Dance when there are a lot of other games to play, but Boxman felt he absolutely needed the exercise. And really, with a goal of some exercise when the fail state is absolutely no exercise, Just Dan...

Super Smash Bros. is one of these special series that means something different to everyone. For some, the appeal comes from the tactical mind games of high-level play. Single-player people also found something to love in Brawl's Subspace E...

[The Goku Effect is something that may be slowly lost to time. As more and more games begin to favor a scaling challenge, there's something nostalgic about the choice to go back to the beginning and stomp all the trash mobs that used to giv...

Hello, everybody! It's your old pal GoofierBrute here to give you some COTW cheer to all the good boys and girls here.....and those of you who've been naughty too. Anyway, anyone got any major plans for the holidays? I'm spending mine at my...

Hey there folks. ooktar here again for another edition of Comments of the Week. I hope you Dtoiders have been staying warm cause it's been cold as fuck outside. Now, though, you have a reason to stay inside for a bit and read. So warm up so...

Hey everyone! Long time, no posting eh? Well it's probably time we started changing that. In recent weeks, probably months now, Comments of the Week has been getting a memory wipe. Well that's not entirely true, we've kept all of the import...

[Soulbow's ongoing inside joke is that he likes Rainbow Six Siege and some of the community sandbag his favorite game. So this is me officially breaking the sandbag, if at least for just a day. Because here, he describes a typical game so w...

[On this, the most holiest of holidays, I think we all need a good reminder that you can never really eat too much candy. Or take your costume too far. How many people must continue to suffer until we learn our lesson? The Actual Charlton H...
