Lately, I've been oddly exhausted. I don't know why, but I just want to sleep all the time. Even if I just woke up, I either want to head back to bed as soon as I pee, or I can only manage to stay awake for a couple of hours before th...

So Daylight Savings happened, which means we all lost an hour. Curses! While I guess it's inevitable considering that we're going to get one back in a couple of months, I could've used the extra time right now. I'm still behind in Com...

There is a part of video game journalism that may be somewhat unique to this field of journalism, something that I want to banter with you lot today: The awkward balance between the self and professionalism. The balance between your pers...

First off, let's talk about Fire Emblem Fates Conquest. After finally beating it last night, I have to say that it's a pretty solid game, and I just can't wait to get into Birthright. However, there are a few things about the game t...

Sorry to say that this recap wouldn't be another rambling session about Final Fantasy 8, as I've lately been working on a handheld RPG review. So let's talk about something else. Something unrelated to the holiday. Let's talk about videos...

I think this is the first time I did a recap late. I mean, don't get me wrong, I can't say I have a perfect track record, but it's either I get it done on time, or I simply ask someone to do it for me. However, my sleeping schedule has be...

First off, gosh darn that Life is Strange game. While it has its share of faults — enough that I can't say it's a better game than TellTale's The Walking Dead — I can't believe it was a such an emotional rollercoaster to me....

Let's get something off my chest before I dive into my recap: I am a quitter. I quit things, all the time. It is almost to the point of being a contender for the Olympics in the global sport of “Quitting”. So, earlier this week I put my...

While I'm a Best Buy Gamers Unlocked Club member — which allows me to get 20% off any new, in-stock video game — unforunately, shopping for games at Best Buy has some drawbacks. I went in to get a copy of Life is Strange las...

Today I had to restart playing Persona 4: Golden, after trying to play through it a second time for the past week. Still stuck on the first dungeon's first few levels, I felt like I was on the cusp of being able to power through but by doin...

So, I didn't write any recaps for last week because of the Destructoid Downtime of 2016. You'd THINK I'd have more to say, but in all honestly, life is somewhat busy. In addition to just taking care of the daily grind of life, I've been...

Nostalgia, what a peculiar beast. Despite the forward march of technology, design experience and accessibility, we still go back to the older games of days past. We ponder on games years upon years old, we get excited every time we blow dus...

I have a viewpoint that may be very controversial (considering fan pressure campaigns), or more likely isn't at all (due to similar reasons as I). Despite this, I believe there is a general trend within videogame series that leaves me simul...

First recaps of the year, and I don't really have much to say. Other than experiencing the awesomeness that is Undertale, unfortunately, things haven't been going too great lately (if you couldn't tell from my bad quickposts... sorry ab...

Oh man, I'm so happy I got the Sunday spot. Also known as a few days after Christmas and before the New Year (i.e. days that I could have been found drunk or hung-over). Well, I guess it is the little things we must cherish. In the reviewi...

Alright, as some of you may know, I personally have a very strict rule against playing digital games. I pretty much flat-out refuse to play a game if there's not a physical copy I can get my hands on. Now, there IS a somewhat psychologi...

I didn't get a chance to do much gaming this week. Other than the occasional hour of Star Wars: Battlefront for a couple of days, I haven't really "had time" to touch either Fallout 4 or Xenoblade Chronicles X. While I did have some fre...

So usually, even if I'm reviewing something (which currently I am, final review of the year fortunately before I lounge about trying to convince myself I'm not useless) I'll have a game to just faff about with on the Vita or 3DS. Something ...

15 hours in Xenoblade Chronicles X, and I still don't have a fucking mech. :( I mean, like Chris Carter said, the mechs shouldn't be your main reason for playing the game. It's more of like a cherry on top of a fantastic title, which...

It is now December, the dead month for releases. You do have Rainbow Six Seige and Just Cause 3 at the start of the month, but from here on out it is seems to strike me as a month of indie games through Christmas and leading up to New Years...

As a sort of stupid recurring joke to myself, I decided to call last Friday "Sci-Friday" because I went to Best Buy to get two videogames: Xenoblade Chronicles X and Star Wars: Battlefront. Both titles are pretty heavy on the sci-fi e...

Usually there are games in this blog on this games-orientated website populated by those who share a passion for video games. This isn't one of those blogs at all.So a few days ago I stepped off the beaten usual trail of trying to do entire...

So I spent Thanksgiving alone, but I guess I can't really complain since I pretty much chose to do it. Although I love the idea of people getting together during the holidays, I can't say that I really feel that way with my family. It doesn...

So you probably heard that Fallout 4 just came out last week. It feels kind of odd playing it though. I usually don't like to play games like this without waiting at lease a couple of weeks, but not because Bethesda games are "broken" and...

First off, I apologize for yet another short blog entry this week. I know everyone's been a little light in their recaps, and I certainly had somethings I'd like to talk about myself. Unfortunately, I'm kind of stressed out trying to manage...
