So... Tonight, after dinner, I set out on my bike to pick up my pre-ordered Love Is Over edition of Catherine for my Xbox 360. That route took me across a four-kilometer stretch of Danforth Avenue in Toronto. Now, for those of you unfamil...

Alright, first off, let me say that I had a lot of good entries. In the future, I'll probably keep the contests simple like this, instead of complex like the Gears of War 3 contest. This is much, much better for decision making. And a deci...

Now, this isn't my Gears 3 contest. I'll get back to that in a couple weeks, when the Gears of War release date is looming over me... But Contest-running's in my blood. Doing cool things for a great community is ingrained in me. And thank...

Now that I've got my hands on the Catherine demo, I've got one thing to say... I've been playing Tales of Vesperia recently. So hearing Troy Baker flirting with and talking to Michelle Ruff as Vincent and Katherine is freaking weird after...

So... I can buy Nintendo Wiis for $99.99. As a delaying tactic for my other contest of giving out Gears 3 shit, I'm going to be sending a Nintendo Wii to a member of Destructoid this Friday, since I've gotta buy one anyway. And if I'm ge...

Cloud gaming is here, and every time I hear about it I want to smack someone. No, I'm not interested. Yes, it could have some interesting uses, but playing Crysis 3 on a computer 5,000 miles away instead of the computer in my living room is...

This is not going to be a long blog post. Or at least, it's not going to be long by my standards, which means it's probably still going to come off as a little bit long, but not overly long. It's also only tangentially related to gaming in ...

I got into a rather interesting discussion with a friend the other day. It mainly had to do with the concept of being a fan, and how I'd told her she wasn't. She argued with me about the matter, and we had a smashing good time going back an...

Only the fact my PS3 cost me quite a bit of money keeps me from nuking this fucking thing right now. Alright, allow me to lead you on a brief series of events. So, I decided to download the first game of Sony's apology to us, the disenfr...

Obligatory Copy and Paste of the contest stuff and prize pitch! Contest Information! Now, for this one, I've decided we'll do something a little bit different. Like always, I'm going to come up with a random, painful, or otherwise aggra...

After the recent post on the main page about used games (LINK!), I got to thinking: How exactly could publishers turn GameStop's used game empire into a margin of their profits instead of the focus? Because let's face it... Publishers are...

Earlier today, in my manic drive to be THE contest guy on Destructoid, I contacted the head of Iridium Studio to purchase a large number of Sequence codes to hand out like candy to the Destructoid community. Sequence is an awesome game best...

As Conrad recently pointed out, Sequence is a recently-released Xbox Live Indie Game which marries the idea of a rhythm game to an RPG and the result is a pleasant surprise. This will not be a review, because the math on this is very, very...

Doing another FNF tomorrow night guys, and this time I'm not answering my god-damned phone. Tomorrow night, 8pm EST to midnight. Gamertag Zen Rain. I'll be on all night. I'll see you there. Contest Information! Now, for this one, I've ...

The Apology! Hi guys. It's currently 12:30 EST. I just got home. Suffice to say, obviously I've let people down. However, it was not without reason! I'm currently serving in a management capacity at my place of employment, and when somethi...

Hey guys, it's that time again! That time being for me to give away more awesome crap for free, of course! Now, for this one, I've decided we'll do something a little bit different. Like always, I'm going to come up with a random, painful,...

Well folks, I was on Amazon today and I was looking at Catherine for my Xbox 360, figuring I should just go ahead and pre-order it. From what I've read of the game, it's basically a platforming puzzler meets Alpha Protocol/Bioware Game choi...

Alright, so out of curiosity I decided to sit down and figure out just how much this PSN leak has potentially cost us. The figures I'm going to be reporting at the end are going to rely on certain assumptions which I will outline, and to ...

Alright, so I'm going to make this quick and dirty. I dropped by my local EBGames today, thinking to pre-order Gears of War 3 so I could send a beta code out to a friend. No dice, since the codes are already all gone, but I figured that...

So... Something interesting happened while I was playing Mass Effect 2 this morning. I was going through the Project Overlord DLC, and I was being kind of impatient since this is my second playthrough. Right now my priority is getting every...

There is proof that God loves bullet hell games, and that proof is the existence of Infinity Danger, a game inspired by an independent, 2003 Japanese release called Warning Forever. A lot of what I'm going to say about this game is highly d...

Before I post the leaderboards for the final times, let me just say that this contest was an absolute blast to run. Like, a lot of fun. I'm very seriously considering doing another just like in in April or May. The tension, the constant t...
