April Fools: Not "nerd"--"node."

No sentence better exemplifies how I felt about Raiden the first time I played Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. After the sinking of the tanker, which is one of the best opening chapters in gaming history, I was waiting with antic...

Hall of Game Episode 6 - WWF No Mercy

Greetings everybody, and a good Good Friday to you. I wanted to get this episode of my Hall of Game series up before the recent WrestleMania, but it just didn't work out that way, what with the hectic Easter week and all. Anyway, let m...

Weekly Top 5: Games I Finished Out of Spite

You all can thank Occams for this topic. He asked "What games have you finished out of spite" on a recent episode of my podcast. And that caused a light bulb to turn on above my head and I decided to write this list that you are curre...

Weekly Top 5: Playstation 2 Games

There's a reason the Playstation 2 is the best selling videogame console of all-time (and by a rather wide margin), and it's because it was the first videogame console that felt like it was for everybody. The fact that it doubled as a...

 
 
 
 
 
 

Flea Market Finds for 3/21/15

Hey everybody. As most of you know, I'm a bit of a videogame collector, and when the punishing Ohio weather lets up enough for me to get to the flea markets, I'm out there bright and early to try to find the best possible deals on game...

 
 
 
 

Weekly Top 5: Ridiculous Ending Theme Songs

I'll be completely honest with you guys. This is a blog that I wrote back when I first started doing the Weekly Top 5 series. I initially posted it on my personal blog, but found myself not as happy with it as I thought I would be, so ...

Weekly Top 5: Sports Games

Most of you probably aren't all that into sports games, or sports in general, for that matter. I, however, grew up playing sports and continued to participate in athletics up until I retired from wrestling (and yes, professional wrest...

 
 
 
 
 
 

Hall of Game Episode 4: Fire 'N Ice

I may be a little jetlagged from Pax East (even though I drove, not sure how that works), but that doesn't mean there's time to stop producing content. The latest episode of my Hall of Game series in an underrated gem on the NES from ...

 
 
 
 

Weekly Top 5: Open World Games

Whenever I make a top 5, I always do it the same way: I choose a topic, create a list of games that I think may make the final cut, whittle it down to the five (plus an honorable mention), rank them as I see fit, and then write the sh...

Greetings and salutations.

TheDustinThomas here, you probably don't know me, but I write things here on Destructoid from time to time. Occasionally I get on the front page:

The Most Inexplicably-Often Rented Games At Blockbuster

The Top 10 Videogame Pro Wrestlers

A Retrospective of Pro Wrestling Videogames from the Perspective of a Pro Wrestler

I'm also the host of a pretty sexy gaming podcast that I do with a couple buddies of mine. You can download and subscribe to it here. You should totally do that.

All of my games writing you can find on DToid, but I also write about other things on my personal blog. Here's my top 5 most read blogs:

Let Me Tell You About My $250 T-Shirts

Tempting of the Doon

5 Ways Getting in Shape Has Messed with my Head

Tim Lambesis: A Fan's Struggle to Understand

Why I Already Dislike Planet Fitness

You may notice that most of those blogs are somehow related to pro wrestling. Why? Because I spent 10 years as a professional wrestler before retiring in October 2013 due to back injuries. I actually wasn't too bad.

A bit about me? Well, obviously I love to write. It's not a paying gig yet, but I'm certainly trying to make that happen.

I'm a happily married man, and my wife is smokin' hot.

I have a huge, manly beard.

God comes first in my life above all else. I'm a leader at my church, as well as the head of our media department.

I've been a metalhead pretty much my entire life.

I'm also a die hard fan of The Simpsons.

Other miscellaneous fact.
