Note: This isn't directed at anyone who commented on Toph's review. The comments were more or less dick-head free :D Tophers brand spankin' new review of Ikaruga got me thinking about the always hot button topic of game reviews, and more...

I'm pretty much walking out the door, but I wanted to post this today; so bear with me. Things to know: - This is an audio-blog because it's way quicker than trying to type everything, and time is a factor for me right now. - It's in em-p...

I volunteer with a group called Students For Literacy, and what we do is tutor kids from kindergarten to high school that are struggling to keep up with the rest of their class when it comes to reading. The kid that I've been tutoring is li...

It hit me at around 3pm today: an idea for a Destructoid song. I don't know why, the opening lyrics along with the song just came to me, totally unbidden, and I took it as a sign. So here we are. I had to learn the song, come up with lyrics...

Nothing too fancy here folks. If you don't listen to Retroforce GO! (blasphemy!) then this won't really make any sense at all. For those cool enough to chill with the fearless four every week, this is a wallpaper I made up right after the l...

So after seeing this article on the front page it dawned on me that a lot of people probably know ABOUT [email protected] But how many people know what it actually DOES? You know, besides displaying a bunch of bars, numbers and colored balls at...

So I don't know why people were saying "nice" and whatnot on my earlier post about my new job, but whatever. Just thought that I'd update because things got even weirder today. The Parasol corp. people said that the initial trials were "hor...

So I got a new part-time job today, figured I'd make a few extra dollars during the weekend. So here's some pictures of my new lab coat. I think the company is called Parasol corp. or something like that. They have me working on some new...
