Today is a pretty hard day for me. This has been a really tough year for me, and as I'm trying to stay positive days like today just really make it difficult.To start, if you know me, you know I'm VERY passionate about music, in partic...

Firstly, thank you Destructoid. There have been several of you very supportive to me as of late. Even though I know none of you that personally. Sometimes just that little bit of conversation back and fourth in the quickposts has been ...

It's been an interesting, hectic, and sometimes scary time in my world as of late. See, since last July my wife has had what started out as shooting pain in her legs. That began to evolve into severe pain that was hampering her daily l...

  Well guys, it's 2017 now. So let's talk YOUR best games of 2016. 2016 was actually a pretty good year for gaming, nice variety of genuinely solid games released across the year. But enough time wasting, let's get right to it! 1...

Today we're gonna compare Overwatch to a game. Not Battleborn, that's been done to death, this is a game even more far removed than those two. (Let's be honest, if you've played both of those games they're really not very similar at al...

Foreward: Knocking is a short story (a creepypasta if you'd prefer) I wrote based solely on a dream, or rather a nightmare I had. One of the few I've had in any recent years that had me actually waking with a jumping start and in ...

Most of you probably do not know, but I write, a lot. Often in just shitty rough drafts, since I'm no editor and rarely anyone ever reads anything I write anyway. But I figured it was time to share something I just finished, I'm proud of it...

I've talked much on here about my love for heavy metal, a love that's actually even greater for my love of video games. See, I've played video games since the late 80's nonstop, and I guess it IS my main hobby. However heavy metal is the ho...

Ok, if you're on PS4 right now as of this writing and playing or thinking of playing Destiny: The Taken King I strongly advise you to step back for a moment. Allow me to fully explain myself and this situation in detail. This is probably go...

Wow, what a year for gamers 2015 was! Lots of great games. While far from the best year for me personally, I still enjoyed many awesome games. So enough of this, let's get right down to it. Now, unfortunately I'm not rich and can't play eve...

Allow me to start this by saying, that if you know me, you know I loathe Randy Pitchford. He's a scumbag, shirks blame for anything and more. I won't rant about him for an hour here, but I strongly dislike him. So his studio/company Gearbox...

I watched the Capcom Cup finals with my wife and some good friends this past weekend through a stiff migraine. It was still a good time and pretty exciting. More so considering this was probably the last major event to be headlined by Stree...

It's Bloodborne for me. But I'd say Witcher 3 if not for that. Fallout 4 comes in at third for me. Black Ops 3 is very close to FO4 for me though, believe it or not. I'm saying it and I hardly even believe it.

The recent "controversy" of Square-Enix announcing that the Final Fantasy VII Remake is going to end up being multiple parts has sparked this blog entry. I won't get into why I'm ok with this announcement and just say I'll reserve anything ...

Gaming Discussion time. This time I'm gonna be covering the Star Wars: Battlefront beta I know it's actually a lot to ask for, but I was really hoping that EA/DICE would treat this more like the CoD Black Ops 3 beta and trickle out more ...

Game rant time. Feel free to start a roundtable discussion about this. Today's topic, Metal Gear Online 3.0. (This is long, bear that in mind.) Let me start this by saying I'm an MGO veteran starting with the original on PS2 that came wi...

Been a bit since I've logged anything on here. Honestly it's been a rough ride. Things are rough at home. Wife just underwent surgery, I'm feeling like utter hell half the time and killing myself physically trying to get back into the shape...

Hey there, those who stopped to read this. I'm washed up. I'm 31 years old, my hairline is receding, and I'm starting to look like Stannis Baratheon (Before his hair grayed out. I guess I'm not THAT old yet.) I have kids, get frustrate...

Let's discuss that question right here and now. Was it really THAT bad? There were a few AAA fuck-ups, yes. But what about all the awesome stuff that came in 2014? If you look at it from the other side you just might realize it actuall...

Today I'd like to discuss some more obscure, or maybe just underrated games that I personally loved for one reason or another. The list will cover multiple systems, multiple generations, genres and even levels of awesomeness.Illbleed: ...

How I love this little handheld. It packs a real whollop in power, having some truly spectacular looking/performing games. Has the nice little second analog nub already built in, and since I have an original model (Got it on day one, b...

If you know me it's no secret I am not fond of Polygon (Or Kotaku for that matter, but that's another blog entry), their recent review treatment of Bayonetta 2 is a grand example as to why. They allowed their personal distaste for over...

It's a good feeling. My life is turning around a bit, if you care or have paid any attention to my previous blogs. I'm sitting here a bit sick from a headcold (I guess) eating toast, hanging out with my son and listening to Mastodon on...

"No winter lasts forever. The seasons pass and the sunlight will shine on my life again."It's been a pretty rough month, but things are starting to look up and the household has a very needed ray of light shining back down on it. Every...

Wasn't going to write about this, but it IS a blog afterall.Things are tough in my household right now. Money is tight as hell, grocery shopping is a tight rope walk and my dogs may be dying.See, I have a basset hound named Buddy. He's...

The media opinions of Destiny absolutely baffle me. We all played the beta, well anyone already interested in it anyway. Didn't really see anyone complaining then, in fact I saw a whole lot of positive coverage.But now the game is out ...

I was in 7th grade, heavily into JRPGs and had just began to try and follow my father's footsteps as an amateur author. A friend and I had rode our bikes to the local pawn shop to trade some games, as we did regularly. They'd trade any...

Man...what a year. It's flown by at light speed for me. And it doesn't just seem to be me either, most people I've talked to agree. It makes some logical sense for me, it's been an eventful year and all with raising a newborn son. But ser...
