I've been a roll lately, writing about how the media is very quick to blame violence on gaming, this is an on-going theme that I'm sure all of us are familiar with. Recently in Louisiana, police investigators were quick to point out that an...

Earlier in the week I wrote about a shooting in Louisiana where an 8-year-old boy shot his 87-year-old grandmother while she was watching television, killing her. You can read my initial post here. The police and media immediately had a fre...

It seems like we can't go a few months without the media blaming videogames for an act of violence. Last week, an 8-year-old Louisiana boy intentionally shot and killed his 90-year-old grandmother. Marie Smothers, the boy's grandmother an...

I have come to an unfortunate conclusion the other day. Simply put, since the announcement of the next generation consoles, I haven't been playing my current console as much anymore. I haven't turned on my Xbox 360 since July 2, almost two ...

Five days ago, one of our fellow Destructoid community blog contributors wrote an article about �Canning�, you can read about it here. I was shocked by the positive response, because bathroom gaming is leading our generation down a slippery...

The summer is in its home stretch. Soon it will be September and we will be bombarded with news of the next generation consoles. Microsoft has been pulling off 180s trying to position the Xbox One as a possible leader of the next generation...

Video games have been an integral part of my life as long as I can remember and gaming with others has been a part of that since I first picked up a gamepad. One of my earliest memories of gaming was Combat on the Atari 2600 with my sister ...

A new game is on the market that has been in the making for over two years. It's your run-of-the-mill first person shooter. There's true to life weaponry, uniforms, tactics and vehicles. There's also a multi-player component available, as a...

Less than a week ago, I posted a blog here giving my opinion that Microsoft should just start off on a clean slate, and re-announce the damn Xbox One. I believed that this was a reasonable recommendation to finally clear the air and get on ...

It's been a crazy month for Xbox fans. Microsoft has been acting like a confused hormonal teen since the initial announcement for the Xbox One. The messaging has been confusing and disjointed which dumbfounded gamers at best, and at it's wo...

I have a confession to make. I used to indulge myself in the pleasures of mediocre and uninspired sports games back in the day. Every August, without fail, I would wait in line, sometimes at mid-night, dressed in my finest Abercrombie gear ...

Friends, our long national nightmare is over. The Twinkie, one of man's greatest inventions is back. After falling into the abyss, perhaps never to be seen again, we have witnessed a triumphant return of the yellow sponge cake and cream ...

Last week I went on vacation for the first time in over year. It was the first time we have traveled since the birth of my daughter, who's now close to 14 months old. We were off to god's waiting room, sunny Boca Raton, Florida, where we wo...

�So all you fanboys out there, can you please shut the fuck up already? � I�m sorry, but I just had an old man moment, the equivalent of standing out on my front stoop and shaking my fist at the neighborhood kids to get off of my yard. I fi...

Imagine, for a moment, being so good at a video game that you make that into a career. I�m not talking about being so good at gaming that you become a professional gamer and compete in Major League Gaming. What I�m referring to is being so ...

Last Wednesday, ESPN announced that they are discontinued their 3DTV channel due to limited viewer adoption. This is a major set back for 3DTV in general. ESPN is owned by Disney, a company that hasn't been particular shy in adopting new ...

With a new generation of consoles just over the horizon, I reckon that the summer of 2013 will be slower than previous summers for the video game industry. I�m struggling to stay excited with my current line-up of games. I�m sure many gamer...

Video games have played an important role in my life. �So much so, that today, as a thirty something-year-old guy, it is engrained as one of my favorite past times. Video games, to me, is a hobby in much of the same way as reading, exercise...

March 31, 2013 was Easter Sunday. It was a day I was looking forward to. It was my daughter�s first Easter and our first as a young family together. We woke up early, as we always do now, as having a young child means sleeping in is a thing...

On May 17, 2012 I became a father and how I played and looked at videogames changed forever. It was a beautiful spring day on May 16 2012. It was almost summer-like with clear blue skies and some humidity, which made the day feel unseasona...
