Three Houses is my first Fire Emblem game, and from playtime alone, I adore it.  I beat it just outside a week on my first playthrough, and again in just over a week on my second.  The character building is great, and seeing ...

Almost all of the worldbuilding in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided sucks.  I played through the whole game mostly out of spite to see how bad it could get, and taking notes where I found something particularly bad.  Don’t get ...

Below is a summary of the campaign I have been running for D&D.  Almost every name is a reference to a game or somewhere in the real world with some importance to me.  Catch them all to win a prize! Prologue (DM specific ...

Emboldened after playing Secret of Evermore, I decided to try again to get use out of my SNES and old games.  I started up Earthbound, then bounced over to Final Fantasy 3 and boy do I have opinions on THAT game. So I went back to...

I never played Majora’s Mask, but was always somewhat interested.  It was a bit of a blind spot for me, as I didn’t want to buy it when I had an N64, and as I got older, I didn’t want to play it because the 3 day...

So I have started to get into chapter 3 for everyone, and I realized that there is a lot that I really like about the mechanics of the game.  Some of the story is take it or leave it, some of the voice actors are take (Hannit) or ...

Lately I have been going on in qposts about how much I like Serious Sam 3 VR, so I decided to go into more detail than  just gushing about how great it is. It is the full game ported to VR, with improvements only.  This feel...

A not-so-short while ago, I came up with the idea for a video game:  what if there was a tournament fighter where you didn’t have to worry about any of the inputs?  Instead of fumbling with controls, anyone would have t...

Good: Right off the bat, the game looks really good.  The first cutscene was on par with the current Final Fantasys in terms of visual fidelity, which is pretty great.  From what I have heard, your mileage may vary on this, b...

What do you do with a chicken carcass?  A question asked since time immemorial.  Turns out, you make some bomb ass soup.  Full disclosure, this is a drunk blog after a shit week, so buckle up, homestuck. So last time, I ...

I don’t really know why, but I have been bit by the culinary bug lately.  I always have had some kind of interest in it - there is something soothing about the ‘ritual’ of a recipe.  I don't know if its the ...

These are the games I played in 2017.  This is supposed to be a foreward, but then I started drinking and wrote this last.  So technically, this is a drunkblog, yaaaaaay.  Anyway, enjoy. Aragami:  A+ I love love lov...

The alternate title would be "Justifying spending 80 dollars on a raspberry pi, with Nintendo's fabled seal of quality" Marvel at its seal like qualities So I went out to Amazon and found the listing for every game (except Star Fox 2, ...

I finally beat XCom 2.  I wanted to provide a ‘review’ but I remember writing a blog a while ago where I said that user reviews are bullshit, so I wanted to run down some talking points about the game that I found out ...

I just recently beat Breath of the Wild.  A few of my friends asked for my opinion on it, whether it was worth it to purchase the Switch to play that game - because, sorry Puyo Puyo, you just aren’t pulling your weight. &nbs...

If you were ever wondering "why should I come to the middle of nowhere, America", I have an answer for you, and it isn't just blatantly racist senators, or college football!  Apparently we have a grand tradition of hosting an arca...

Well, I think I made it over the figurative hump with developing games: getting started.  In my last entry, I talked about the vision of what I wanted to create.  This time, I’m happy to be able to celebrate what I have...

Suicide Squad was a better movie than Magnificent Seven.  There.  I said it.  Now that the clickbait is over...actually, fuck that.  Magnificent Seven has me all hot and bothered, and I think if people say it’...

I was actually eyeing GameMaker before it went on sale in the Humble Bundle, as I do have a knack for coding and a love for video games. So when it came up, I knew I had to get it, if only to play around with.  I think I have a ga...

So here’s the skinny:  I want to run a podcast style (that is, audio only) game show, and I want you to be the contestants (and the audience, please).   Picking Contestants:  In the blog for the current show, I wil...

Not too long ago, I got my hands on the new Steam controller. I have read a lot of different press on the device, so I thought I would give my two cents on how I think it feels: tl;dr: just like PC gaming, if you can tolerate the customiz...

First off, I am amazed that ‘Just the Tip” or “Just the Tips” isn’t what the ‘series’ is called on the front page.  It was a huge missed opportunity for a great dick joke.  Alas. &nb...

I’m going to let you guys in on a rather public secret of mine:  I love Dark Souls.  I put about 300 hours into the game, and made quite a few concept runs - my favorite of which has to be beating the game using only a ...

Hey Destructoid.  In the 9 years...wow, 9 years, really?  Nice.  In the 9 years that I have known you, one of my favorite community blog things was always the dude who would jam out a drunen blog.  I want to say it ...

Mercenary King’s is a bullshit game made by people with their heads up their asses.  Every ten minutes there is some glaring flaw that should have been caught by someone who had half a brain.  And I’m just about d...

Depending on who you ask, 2014 was either a wonderful year or a terrible year for gaming.  My opinion?  It was awesome.  I created the list below, along with a few notes, of every game I completed during the year.  ...

As many of you may know, Streamtoid is back, alive and well!!  As mentioned each week, I am streaming Mondays at 6-8 central time, and would love to have people join me.  The past two streams have been starting, and getting close to finishi...

Space Marine is a masterpiece.  There, I said it.  I even kind of mean it.  I played it recently and remembered just how much I loved the game, and how sad it makes me to know that THQ isn’t getting a second shot at the IP.  Hell, if anyone...

Hey there, champ, hows it going?  Are you enjoying that fresh Wii U?  Have it all loaded up with games and their save files, got your free promotional game from Club Nintendo annual rewards and from the Mario Kart promotion?  You aren't, yo...
