With Christmas just under two weeks away nearly all of the major game releases for the year 2009 are now out. As expected, September brought on a steady shower of anticipated new titles, culminating in the annual November downpour of bloc...

About one-and-a-half years ago at the San Diego Comic Con I met cartoonist and Nickelodeon Magazine comics editor Dave Roman at the Slave Labor Graphics booth. I ended up talking to him for quite a while on each day of the con, and it did...

Well, we finally got Club Nintendo in North America, but there will always be reasons to remain jealous of Japan. Toymaker Banpresto is currently selling a life-sized Mr. Saturn plush, coming in at just under half a meter (4 apples) tall....

Seriously, tag 25 people? That's an incredible exponential rate of growth. I almost didn't do this either because I didn't want to push any of the videogame related blogs off of the front page, but then I realized that wouldn't be a probl...

As someone who hasn't taken the plunge on an Xbox 360 yet, I've been occasionally checking the official Braid website for news on the PC version. It had been scheduled for the holiday season but was moved back to February or March so as n...

The rumor just came out that the DSi will be arriving in North America in less than 4 months, fitting neatly into the window that Satoru Iwata hinted at just before the system launched in Japan. Somehow I missed this comment and had held ...

I participated in a Secret Santa event on another videogame message board for the second time this past Christmas, and decided to make the little guy above as part of my gift. Glue, cardboard, some scrap mat board my sister had left over,...

It all started with Dig Dug. The primary goal of Dig Dug is to clear the screen of all the enemies, dispatching them with your air pump in a manner that makes the loins of certain people on deviantART quiver at the thought, or via the sl...

So I didn't really get into the Halloween mood early this year, but just before nightfall I carved a quick pumpkin. Then inspiration struck and I came up with a last-minute costume: Pulled it off in time to answer the door for a few gr...

This can't wait for Nihon's post. From back, left to right: -Super Scope in box with Super Scope 6 (no manuals) -Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence -Kirby Super Star -Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose (with box) -Metal Combat: Falcon...

Released two months ago on WiiWare, Toki Tori is a remake of a Game Boy Color game that came out late in the system's lifespan. As was the situation with system stablemate Shantae, also published by Capcom at the time, the game was largel...

Some weeks ago Hamza linked to a couple of YTMNDs in his weekly feature that had images of real life scenes manipulated to include sprites of video game characters, as if they had leaped from the games into real environments similar to th...

When this month's topic was initially announced, I went quickly through an informal list of characters in the games I have played, trying to recall one that particularly struck a chord with me; or, failing that, a semi-obscure character f...

There's a guy in a robot helmet in this photo and yet I'm the one who looks like a retard. It's a gift. I want to thank aborto the fetus for setting up the Dtoid meetup at this year's San Diego Comic Con. It was a blast to meet and hang o...

Inspired by LongDeth, I decided to photograph most of my Capcom fighting games (and a few related pieces.) There are some other bits, but this is what I could find at hand after midnight without digging through a bunch of crap in my room. O...

Coming in at the last minute! My mom recently got a Toshiba Satellite laptop, so now I hijack it to play games that have been released in the last five years, as our desktop is a bit old (and my brother is always playing WoW on it anyway...

It's more likely than you think. While accompanying my sister to a job interview yesterday, we decided to stop by the mall, as we'd arrived in the area early. As we walked into the entrance nearest the empty shell formerly known as Robinso...

*HEADS UP* A couple years ago Capcom had the guys at UDON bring the previously Japan-only Street Fighter: Eternal Challenge art book to the English-speaking masses. The paperback version went for around $20-25, and for some reason I didn...

Today I had my first major "fuck you" experience with PC gaming. I've never been a big PC gamer; there wasn't even a relatively current PC in our house until Christmas 1999, and it was an eMachines box at that. Furthermore, I just purchased...

It's that time again! I say that like I keep a regular schedule for this feature; haha, I kill me. I've tried, but then I get lazy. I haven't even written an article on here outside of my two feature series(es?) in weeks. Thank Niero's up...

BOOOoOoOoOoOoO! Happy Halloween! (It's still Halloween here on the West Coast, screw you!) It seems like I've written both less than or equal too and more than four of these articles already: less than or equal to because that's the trut...

After a long bout of laziness and simply not being very keen on sitting at the computer for a couple hours taking screenshots and writing, The 3rd Party Memory Card (and my community blog) makes a return. I had fully intended to continue ...

What should have been last week's Secret is finally here! And with the arrival of #4 I think I've finally caught up, assuming I continue with my plan to make this weekly. Then two more 3rd Party Memory Card moments, and another Secret thi...

Hello, and welcome to last week's edition of It's A Secret To Everybody, coming to you here in the FUTURE! Because I took all that extra time, this should be a real gem, right? Err..... um...... that is to say.... yeah, sure, what the he...

In an effort to further rip off Ch- ... err, I mean, provide people with an easier way of reading my c-blog, here is the index of all my 3rd Party Memory Card articles, starting with the most recent. I'll update as I write more entries, h...

Man, it's already been a week since I wrote anything on here. I meant to do It's A Secret To Everybody #3 last week as well. I need my own computer, trying to share this one and get anything done and browse my usual sites is too hard. I ne...

The 3rd Party Memory Card does double duty this week, as I meant to get around to exposing another one of gaming's secrets last week, but... uh... didn't. Fortunately, one of my favorite moments is also somewhat of a secret, and it's one ...

For everyone who was looking forward to my second installment, rest assured the series is continuing. I haven't been near the computer long enough for the last few days to get anything done, and to top it off I like to do things the hard w...

Welcome to the 3rd 3rd Party Memory Card (say wha?) I'm your host, Mister Face Sit 69, bringing you yet another fine memorable moment in gaming history. Last week was pretty old school. This week, old school gets a bit of an update. I won...

Well played, Niero (et al.) Well played, indeed. That made me laugh in the original context, and it made me laugh again here.
