With nearly five years of some of the best times of my life under my belt, I can't seem remember a time when I wasn't on this crazy Destructoid train. So this is going to be weird to type: as this month comes to a close, I will be putting...

I'm in Utah this week, learning that being high up in the mountains means that I feel like I've run a marathon if I walk across the street. Pretty neat! I'm here for Bethesda's BFG 2011 event, where we're being shown Prey 2, Skyrim, Rage, ...

First come, first served: C2PM-ACNC-CKAH Have fun. Spoiler: the money dies.

Thanks to everyone who listened to and gave feedback on the last episode. We recorded another test this week, the unofficial episode #2 of the "beta." I'm making it a bit easier to access now, so just go here: http://soundcloud.com/nickch...

About a month ago, the guy who signs my checks (that's Niero) said to me: "Hey, we need to get another podcast off the ground with the site's everyday, core writers. Get it done." He doesn't often demand I do things, so I figured he was s...

[Note: This is a first draft ramble about the process; I had originally intended to just dump my choices here and move on. So please forgive any errors or oddities.] Little known fact: to choose the nominees for the VGAs, Spike TV doesn't ...

So first off, Bethesda has the best fucking stamps. When they sent me a holiday card last December, the stamp had a picture of Vault Boy wearing a Santa Claus hat. Here's the stamp that was on the invite for the upcoming launch party for Fa...

Just another day at the office.

Doing an email Q&A for a story on Bowser's Inside Story with Nate Bhildorff, the game’s localization producer. If anyone has anything they'd like answered, let me know! I intend on shooting Nintendo the questions shortly.

I'll be speaking with Gearbox Software's CEO Randy Pitchford today about the developers upcoming title Borderlands, among other things industry- and gaming-related. Before I do, I wanted to see if you guys had any specific questions you'd...

Our 666 songs available in Rock Band stories has now become a contest! Be the 666h commenter on that front page post and win a prize package including videogame goodies like shirts, games, and more. Because you don't have anything better to...

My wife knows my odd fascination with curious energy drinks; my favorite (at least as far as an oddity is concerned) would the "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart drink I found in a liquor store once. So know that when she brought home th...

This is so exciting! ------ From: Lloyd Smith <[email protected]> Subject: Yo what's Up saw you on Destructoid FUCK YOU BITCH ON THE NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA BLOG YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL LOOKS YOU WROTE LOCKS YOU FUCKI...

Look, I respect the idea of LAN parties, so don't get me wrong. But thank god for the Internet. The picture above is the ridiculous nonsense my wife and I rigged up so we could play Resident Evil 5 cooperatively on two screens. For whatev...

This is a good question. Let me check the letter I received two weeks ago when Capcom sent me final review builds of the game. What's this? "Any online review coverage from this build is embargoed until the release of Street Fighter IV, Feb...

Sony held a little event recently where they showed some press God of War III, and I was there for Destructoid. Unfortunately, I'm gagged until Friday, so I can't reveal any details yet. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the info from Game In...

1. I met my wife at a karaoke prom (I was voted prom king!). We were both drunk, and she approached me. I hardly remembered it the next day. 2. I play games other than Rock Band. 3. I have three cats that I obsessively spoil and treat li...

We're doing a "community interview" with Twisted Pixel, the guys who made The Maw. I'm accepting questions in a forum thread which you can find here. Go, go, go!

Hey, guess what? The forums are back! Yay! I'm all up in those shits talking about the preview build of Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena that Atari dropped off for me today. You have questions, I have answer. http://www.dest...

[UPDATE: Contest is over, I have my two winners -- Revec999 and Garison. In hindsight, maybe I made the contest too easy. I'm going to try to give away some of "my crap" more often (maybe once every weekend), so let me know what kind of ...

Since I know a lot of you guys have been asking ... [Via Destructoid UserVoice]

Yeah, so I was off this weekend spending time with my family and staying away from the Internet (totally healthy). Did something dramatic happen around here that I missed?!?!

After two weeks, I've finally completed Fallout 3 (Xbox 360). No, that wasn't me playing every day for eight hours, but I had played off and on since the game arrived on my doorstep. Today alone, I plowed through six or seven hours worth of...

It launched today. Who got it? I played a single game online, and listened in on some awesome strategy: "A'ight, who da' fuck gonna do medical wit' me? I take left, you take right ... we split 'dat shit up." Let's split this shit up; user...
