Welcome to the first installment of VGLaw, a Destroid cblog series that aims to educate you, the video game consumer, about the law and how it can affect your gaming lifestyle, hopefully without too much of the high-falutin legalese. Toda...

Good morrow, my darlings! By now you must have taken notice that fops such as ourselves sport only the finest of attire, and our impeccably styled hair surely needs no introduction. In watching my manservant, Manservante, play my games f...

My darling dandies, May the fopping commence! And surely we mustn't forget FOPday Night Fights! All of the FOP high society will be attending (including myself, should be Xbox return hence from the consolesmith). Hugs and kisses, The B...

My dearest FOPs, I'll not waste time regaling you with my titillation over your rather enthusiastic response to the Friends of the PAXless. With all of those rum culls and scabs on ventures to foreign shores, I'm all agog to begin our fo...

My dearest compatriots, have you been affronted by the bourgeois and general air of unconcerned levity put forth by attendees of the Penny Arcade Expo? Does the incessant chatter of these wealthy popinjays regarding their enjoyment of of ...

AMIDOINITRITE?

So the other day my girlfriend visited me, and decided we were going to visit the Museum of Sex in Manhattan. So we did, because when your girlfriend wants you to take her to a building filled with porn, you make it happen. We get there ju...

Today's advice? Get trashed and go to a Weezer concert (for free) at Madison Square Garden, despite the fact that you will suffer greatly during your law school classes the next day. Life is about priorities. Also, did you know that a pack...

This is a somewhat solemn day for many Americans, so I will restrict my Mechanisms to the following video, in salute. *- The Great Random Battle Experiment (SurplusGamer) *- A 9/11 remembrance (SilverDragon1979) *- Spore as more, not a ...

I was not at PAX, as everyone who was there has reminded me by posting a cblog about how awesome it was, and upon reading each one a little piece of me died. I am now 38% deceased. I hope you're happy. Also, Wednesdays need more lulz posts...

As a great shark once said, recappin' ain't easy. My recap cherry has been popped, and as with most deflowerings, I'm likely to be sore for a few days. With the November election in the United States rapidly approaching, I'll restrict m...

[Credit to The Young Scot for the fantastic video above] Xbox LIVE is filled to the brim with beer-guzzling frat boys and prepubescent racists. World of Warcraft is more addictive than heroin, and it is populated by 10 million addicts, ...

Friday is not on Thursday, I don't care how long your weekend is. Now go eat grilled meats and celebrate the United States Declaration of Independence and subsequent participation in one of the worst-fought military conflicts in history. W...

I received a lovely little surprise in the mail the other day. Courtesy of our very own Reverend Anthony, I am now the proud owner of the classic film, The Guyver 2, in Digital Video Disc format. As you may recall, this was the prize for ...

Here she is ladies and germs, my mundane "Not a Bajillion Dollar Turning Point Gaming Rig". Dell XPS 400 or so, 3.0 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard drive. She does what I need her to do (at least after having the hard drive and motherboard repla...

The a cappella group I am in (The Eart Tones) has made a Relay For Life team, and we're trying to raise money, so I'm asking everyone I know to contribute. I know Destructoid, so I am asking you. Relay For Life is the United States' larg...

The fellows at For Tax Reasons, who were responsible for the hilarious video "IM IN UR MANGER, KILLIN UR SAVIOR", have just released a new short animation featuring the same cast. The new one is entitled "My Steampunk Papercraft Commodore...

Bowser's R&D Team is under-appreciated. [Via Explosm.net]

I am Destructoid's biggest fan-boy because instead of studying for my midterm tomorrow, I arranged and recorded a cover of the Destructoid Theme Song, by Jonathan "GameJew" Mann. To start off, I'll give you the original. Ain't nothing li...

Yesterday, after seeing all the c-blog hate directed at Jack Thompson, I was impressed by how many of us in the comments of those c-blogs said to cut out the hate. I even saw some positive things written about him, and I sort of have to a...

With the 2008 Presidential race heating up, I thought it was about time I caught up on the politics. So far, I've had trouble deciding on a candidate, as I think all three major contenders (Clinton, Obama, and McCain) have their fundament...

Though Goombas and Koopa Troopas form the backbone of Bowser's army, in today's world it's obvious that the world's mightiest militaries rely on the strength of their air force. Enter Lakitu. Lakitu may not be the first Mario baddie to...

Mario. Sonic. Master Chief. Cloud Strife. We all remember the name of the hero in the game. The player we control, the one who beats the bad guys, overcomes the obstacles, and scores all the points. But what about the characters we don'...

New York Times best-selling mystery author James Patterson is entering the gaming business. Several of his 50 novels have already been adapted to both the big and small screens, but this is the first time his work will be turned into a v...

Thank you for tuning in to the Monocle News Network, where we bring you news of anything and everything related to monocles, no matter how tenuous the relationship. Today we have reports of an unnamed monocle-sporter boxing a kangaroo. Rep...
