Diablo II Hardcore is still addicting after 10+ years

It has been a very, very long time since I've last had a chance to write a blog on Destructoid, so I find it only fitting that I reemerge writing about something that I haven't had a chance to play in many years and have recently rediscov...

Miniboss Monday: The Phantom Train

 Today's miniboss has already been covered rather thoroughly by the amazing Chad once before, but that won't stop me from doing a second article about the ridiculous boss fight that ensues. The enemy is a demonic choo-choo train who ca...

Miniboss Monday: Granfaloon / Legion

  Today's miniboss is yet another offering from the Castlevania series and is certain to creep a few people out who haven't already seen this gigantic gob of gore before. The "proper" name for the above boss is Legion, b...

Miniboss Monday: Rawk Hawk!

Today's boss is actually one of my personal favorites from the previous generation of consoles. Meet Rawk Hawk, the undisputed champ of the Glitz Pit from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Right out of the gate, you'll notice that our bi...

 
 
 

I've recently discovered eBay. No, really!

It's been quite the week. As of late, I have recently spent more time scouring eBay and bidding on things more than I ever thought I would. Within the course of just a few days, I have bought the following (with a bit of patience) dirt ch...

Miniboss Monday: Dugog

Today's long-overdue Miniboss Monday is brought to you lovingly by the letter "F." The letter "F" can stand for many things, but today, we'll focus primarily on one word in particular: frustration. Yes, frustration is so...

 
 
 

WANTED: Culdcept SAGA Players of the Communitoid!

(VISIT THE FORUM POST - Click this!) Yeah, I know. Some of you out there right now are simply groaning at some of us here. "Please, shut up about Culdcept. You're ruining my SMASH." Well, too bad. :) This might've been something better s...

 
 
 
 

Castle Crashers Toys - A Review

As you folks may or may not know, I recently bought a set of these little guys over at The Behemoth's online store. They used to be exclusive to the lucky few of us who get the chance to go to Cons, but as of the previous holiday, they're...

 
 
 
 

My newfound addiction: Culdcept SAGA (X360)

Oh, hai Communitoid! Been awhile since I've been around, I know. My apologies for being a shadow in the mist. Rest assured, I'll be back to my old self again once things cool off in my life. But, lend me your ear (or eye, as it were) for...

 
 
 
 

I'll take a Rock Band with my Snickers [photo]

The above photo was taken last night using my cell phone at a local Blockbuster Video. I was there to return Clerks and rent Mallrats when I took a look at the candy aisle. Granted, I had done this many times before, but something just di...

 
 
 
 

I think I fixed my Guitar Hero lag issue. Here's how:

As some of you may or may not know, I have been having a hell of a time trying to calibrate the lag with GH3. Constant tweaking, recalibrating, tweaking some more was yielding no consistent result. So, just for the hell of it, I tried pla...

 
 
 
 

NIERO / WORKMAN in '08!

In a time of need. In a time of war. In a time of poverty. America needs someone they can turn to to right the wrongs of our current El Presidente. Yes, I am indeed talking about Niero and Ron "Various Nicknames" Workman. America needs a...

 
 
 
 
 
 

Oh, hai! Is it can it be HDTV time now, plz?

Yep. I took the plunge and picked up a sweet 32" LCD HDTV by LG for a cool $599 at Boscov's (LINK) I was a bit worried when we first unpacked and hooked up the badboy, because the sucker's speakers were crackling. Turns out, my 360 Elit...

Miniboss Monday: Money, and the lack thereof

In celebration of the holiday shopping season kicking into high gear, I thought it would be rather fitting to bring forth an unwaivering miniboss of sorts that plagues all who purchase games and the systems needed to play them on. Yes, I am...

 
 
 

Question: What game isn't repetitive? All games are.

(LOLCats image is not in relation to below text. I just think it is funny.) I gots me a question for you, folks. We all hear in game reviews "This game is reptitive. It sux0rz." This was touched on slightly by our own Rev. Tony in his rec...

 
 
 
 
 


About Savantone of us since 12:54 AM on 10.23.2006

Name: Mike "Savant" Ferry
Location: Bethlehem, PA
Age: 27
Zodiac Sign: Virgo

I am a former Associate Editor of Destructoid who became INTERNET FAMOUS (er, not really...) for my weekly column entitled "Miniboss Monday." You might've heard of it. It was kind of a big deal. Anyway, I've since moved on to becoming a lurker and playing my fair share of games in the meantime. Oh, and I wear a kilt, love retro video games, and drink a lot of beer. That pretty much sums me up.
