My Gaming Story: It Begins and Keeps Going

Final Fantasy almost prevented my existence. My father was so enamored with the game and the downright addictive qualities it and the whole JRPG genre contained, that he stayed up late at night leveling up his characters and slaying any ene...

 
 
 
 

Losing Sleep with Sleeping Dogs

It was the summer of my 6th grade year and I had just gotten home from a local game store where I bought True Crime: Streets of LA. I spent almost all night shooting thugs and running over people because I was completely blown away by the...

 
 
 
 

I Yearn to Love Contact

Contact is unique to a fault. Contact is a GBA turned DS game by the rad dudes at Grasshopper Manufacture. The same guys who gave us the excellent Killer 7 and No More Heroes. It was a mostly overlooked action JRPG that came out in 2006...

Ahhhh violence. What a beautiful thing! It's the thing we as humans find most eye catching and entertaining. Every time a fight breaks out in a school or bar, we immediately run to the location the tussle is taking place and cheer. We alw...

One Curious Boy's Impressions of Mother

All my life, I've been an avid fan of Nintendo. Ever since owning a Nintendo 64 as a kid, I've always loved the worlds Nintendo let me take an adventure with. Whether it be in space with Fox, in Hyrule with Link, in the Mushroom Kingdom w...

 
 
 


About Nicky Austinone of us since 11:13 PM on 05.29.2012

I'm Nicky Austin. I like really goddamn stupid, fun games and also really meaningful, emotional games. That's not really specific, but it's cool. I really love One Piece and music and I hosts podcasts about stuff (Full Memory Card, One Piece Book Club, Don't Refrain!, Super Weeb Time, etc.). I'm gonna write some stuff again because I now have more time to write about video games and I just can't stay away from Destructoid, I couldn't if I tried.
