Posted by: Ryan I might be working near Level-5. Well okay, I'm under no illusion that they're developing games there, but it is a small brick building with the Level-5 logo in the corner. And I wonder if that building contains the eight ...

Posted by: Ryan I was trying to figure out how to get basic collision detection working from scratch, which is essentially getting boxes to know that they've intersected each other and to react appropriately. And while I was prototypin...

Posted by: Ryan I gave my girlfriend a copy of Bangai-O Spirits on DS a little over a week ago. She sent me this text today and it made me smile, so I just thought I'd share it with you all:

Posted by: Ryan Instead of doing one huge PAX Cblog, I'm gonna try to write one smaller post every day for maybe an entire week, if I can. And I didn't take many pictures, so bear with me. I'm finally here: the last of my PAX 2010 posts...

Posted by: Ryan Abstract as they are, there is definitely still some debate as to the symbolic meaning of the first three BIT.TRIP games. Some speculate that CommanderVideo is born in BIT.TRIP BEAT, while others argue that he is first ...

Posted by: Ryan and Noelani Friday morning, when I woke from troubled dreams, I was a small, stuffed puppy. "What's happened to me?" I thought. It wasn't a dream. But instead of moping around, I decided to go traveling. Though being ...

Posted by: Ryan Sonic Colors has an official release date (November 16) and SEGA looks like they might get this one right. They're essentially making Sonic Unleashed again, but they're focusing on only Sonic and the action-levels this ...

Posted by: Ryan I just got my copy of Muramasa: The Demon Blade recently, and I'm completely in love with it. Muramasa is the kind of game that was just made for me, so instead of writing a full-on, totally biased review, I'll pass on ...

Posted by: Ryan Play Free Games Yes, it's obvious, but I've still got to mention it. Particularly if you're running on a Windows machine, there's a lot of free games out there that can tide you over while you're short on cash. Personally...

Posted by: Ryan The latest LAPD, Los Angeles Podcast of Destructoid, is now up and ready to download. And this week's main topic was the amazing, Wii-exclusive Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, with a special guest, LK4O4! As in, me! I was on a podca...

Posted by: Ryan EVO 2010 was fucking crazy this year. The top story coming out of this EVO was definitely Justin Wong's SSF4 loss to the Taiwanese Adon player, Gamerbee, and getting denied a place in the Top 8, which was certainly an iron...

Posted by: Ryan "I really appreciate that you still go out and buy new games for the Genesis," my sister told me. I'm probably the only person she knows who goes out of his way to buy retro games, although I'll admit that part of it is du...

Posted by: Ryan My Impressions Are Biased I love Mega Man. Less than a week before Mega Man 10 was released, my sister bought me a Mega Man and Protoman figurine, and to the best of my knowledge, she didn't even know that Mega Man and Pr...

Posted by: Ryan I'm at work. On the way here, I was carrying a bag, with a new water bottle hanging off of it, and a book in my hand that I've borrowed* from Noelani. I've been reading The Namesake on the train ride over, but I'm reading ...

Posted by: Ryan I hate the music in Super Mario 64 DS. Maybe under different circumstances, it wouldn't bother me so much, but the last two games I played on my DS were Space Invaders Extreme 2 and The World Ends With You. I've been hea...

Posted by: Ryan My receipt was marked with the number '8'. I was eighth in line to get my game. The person directly behind me was getting Tatsunoko vs. Capcom too, although most people were in line for Mass Effect 2 or MAG. But I got my c...

Posted by: Ryan Portrayals of female sexuality in popular media usually piss me off. Noelani has seen me metaphorically roll my eyes every time she buys an issue of Seventeen Magazine, or when I have to walk into a women's store that d...

Posted by: Ryan I had some time to kill while I was waiting for Karina on Friday night, so I took out my trusty Nintendo DS Lite and started playing some Space Invaders Extreme 2. When I was in college, I played a lot of Advance Wars 2...

Posted by: Ryan I had forgotten about the lag. See, old-school TVs just take what ever images they get and throw it up on the screen, but these new HDTVs have to re-scale the image and run filters on it, which makes the image lag a lit...

Posted by: Ryan Public Service Announcement for Wii Owners: Just so you all know, I updated to Wii System Menu 4.2 this morning, and found that immediately following the update, my Homebrew Channel had been deleted. After looking at the ...
