If it weren't for the majority of people who were born at the end of Generation X and the beginning of Generation Y, this debate wouldn't exist. I say this because we were the first generation to be brought up having wide access to televi...

Let me get this out there right now. There is in my mind, no better example of a platforming game and no "Mario" game that comes as close to perfection than Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo. I love this game like no other, and I'm...

Well, RevAnt hasn't put up the Monthly Musings for December just yet (I'm assuming is forthcoming)...I thought maybe I could sneak this one under the radar of the astute readers of Destructoid, even though it's really the first of the month...

If there's one genre of games I think is getting the shaft over and over again that made me fall in love with gaming in the first place, it would have to be the beat 'em ups. These games were just notorious for eating a roll of quarters f...

Back in the great days of my youth almost 19 years ago, when the NES was king and I was a portly little quiet kid. A kid who escaped everyday to the Mushroom Kingdom and Dracula's Castle to avoid my boring existence as a grade school chil...

Chrono Cross is just one of those games that deserve more dissection and more attention from the gaming world even though I'm sure it's been done before by many other contributors and writers here on Destructoid. This was perhaps the final...

Whether it be games, music, books, or movies, I've earned my Weird Kid moniker. With movies it was mainly because I had too much time where I was allowed to stay up late watching all the premium channels without any adult supervision. I w...

There are plenty of others here on D-Toid that do the same. I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be nice to share some sophisticated drink recipes with fellow adults?" That's where this posting comes from, the love I have for all drinks. S...

Gamers of Destructoid, I think that we've created a monster. A monster that is really mean that likes to eat cash and poop out cheap plastic instruments. The rhythm gaming industry is a beast that none of us saw coming but each of us have ...

Death, the one inevitability that we all must face. The one absolute to each of our lives, that is unless you're a character in a video game, then death is as avoidable as most common STDs (Protip: look for open sores to avoid Herpes), or...

The arcade, to my generation its where magic happened one quarter at a time, and games looked so much better than anything you could play on a console at home. The big names were always represented in these beaming halls of standup gaming...

Moving sucks...I hate it. Hopefully this will be the LAST time I will ever have to move. It is one of the most futile and frustrating activities that I've ever had to do. You pack up all your stuff, move its physical location, unpack, an...

I'm always striving to create new content that might be interesting to the Destructoid crowd. In doing so, I've always had issue with writing up stories about the news or just rehashing something somebody else has written about already. To...

There are plenty of others here on D-Toid that do the same. I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be nice to share some sophisticated drink recipes with fellow adults?" That's where this posting comes from, the love I have for all drinks. S...

This week, I started packing some stuff up this week in preparation for me and the wife getting our own house. I had a lot of time to spend in front of ye olde bewbe toobe on Friday because of me and my wife's differing work schedules and ...

Man…where should I start? Never, in the year that I have been attending Destructoid have I been as mad as I am right now. I gave myself to the count of 10, I even tried walking it off. No go, I have to do this or it will bug me all week. ...

Dear Microsoft and Xbox Live, The joy that I have been experiencing with your system playing games like Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect have been rather substantial. This does not however excuse you from providing me with an online experien...

There it is right there, my bebe, your future ruler and master (ALL HAIL LIL' EXCREMENTO)! We still don't have any idea what the gender is but its only a matter of time until we do know, and you'll be some of the first to know along with m...

I love Rock Band and Guitar Hero, even more so than most games I own in my collection. I just have one problem, I was brought up with a vast knowledge of music and appreciation for all types of music. Unfortunately for people like me, mo...

Well, I don't know about all of you loverly readers of Destructoid, but I like to eat...it was the reason that I topped out at 309 a few years ago and decided to lose weight. Unfortunately there is an inner fatso that likes to come out ever...

Following the recently unsuccessful bid by EA to buy all outstanding shares of Take-Two's stock at $26 a share, the company has received offers from a few third-party companies that are now interested. You can be rest assured that there w...

If there is one thing in this world that pisses me off, it would have to be this new generation of American who seemingly have the inability to set limits for themselves or their children. I think that this behavior of inactivity is pri...

There is one problem with the game industry that drives me completely bonkers, the sheer amount of repetition we see in games in the market. It can be argued that every game that we’ve played over the last twenty or so years is in fact a ...

Recently I was asked by my good buddy from the IRC, some of you probably know him simply as Conrad Zimmerman, to help judge a contest that he has so graciously set up. The only problem is that there aren't enough people entering his conte...

You know what, slow news day is slow. I can hear the 70% of the Destructoid community off fapping to Superly Smashing Fraternity Time Of Action thingy hyped up super edition game for the Whee. That leaves the other 30% of us others that e...

Since their inception, video games have been challenging people to be 'better' each game you play, whether it be score based or by only giving you only so many chances of finishing a level. Let's face it, there is absolutely no point to a...

It seems that the Australian government is finally considering having the equivalent of the US's R rating for movies or the UK's 18+ rating instituted to allow dozens upon dozens of 'adult' titles to be shipped to the blood famished countr...

Guess what guys...if you can't read what it says up there on the digital display, it starts with a P and ends in a -nant. That's right kiddies, my wife, the sainted Mrs. Excremento is preggers! Destructoid's own Weird Kid is going to have...
