No Man's Sky has released, and boy is it a divisive game. Over on the hallowed battlegrounds of Metacritic, Professional gaming sites have given it a conglomerate score of 68, with the only truly high scores (90) released - perhaps uns...

Hello again, those who have followed along with my series that was supposed to be seven parts but somehow disappeared after five parts! (I'm not always self-motivated unless I'm distracting myself...)  Now that a lot of time has passe...

I finally caved and bought the rest of the art tools for the Paper App by 53. Next up will be the actual stylus so I'm not doing these with my fat fingers anymore. This is based on a true story and the characters within are inspired by ...

Hey all! I had to take a hiatus this weekend for Mother's Day and for a Finals essay. But I will be finishing off this series today, Wednesday and Thursday... ----- When HUGE became a integrated part of the site, I was happy that editors c...

I should touch back on the whole indie games thing, because it’s really where I started to drift away from my duties as a contributor.  If anything makes me feel bad about my time with Destructoid, it has always been my spotty indie game co...

As a previews editor, I naturally tried to focus more on the positives of an upcoming game rather than the negatives. Writing previews isn’t easy – You’re trying to garner an idea of the finished product off of a build that might be still i...

II.   Meeting Niero for the first time was as awkward as anything I’ve done socially for the first time. I tried to pretend to play it cool, wherein I ordered a coffee, sat at a random table and waited, thinking I had gotten to the designat...

Disclaimer: This series of blog posts that I will be releasing once a day for probably a week or so is in no way meant to slander Destructoid or the awesome editors who work for it. It is more written in the interest of revealing the inner ...

Hey Destructoid people, Just letting everyone know I too got the proverbial axe yesterday within the cuts, so I won't be writing for Dtoid or previewing events anymore. Unfortunate, yes - but I actually was more surprised by some of the ot...

Greetings Destructoid Community! I have been playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf obssessively lately and my needy villagers want me to sign petitions now. Problem is, I have only about 20 3DS friends and only one is as into the game as I am....

Since I'm already trying to get into a writing mood for college-related (read: boring) stuff, I'm going to continue doing these haiku reviews. I'll be sporadically updating with more when I can. I will try to go for daily - but...we'll see....

For the hell of it, I'm going to start doing short haiku 'reviews' for all of the games I've had and/or completed. They're sort of in alphabetical order, but some are out of the shelf space because I'm playing them or they're sitting elsewh...

I was recently looking at a trailer for Black Ops 2 and thinking that I might just be interested in the CoD series again. I mentioned this to my partner, who told me he had read something recently about how the game seems to have "a bit of ...

Lately, news stories revolving around the game culture have had a disconcertingly similar theme. This theme has existed for awhile now, though with a couple of specific recent examples, the controversy has reached new levels of Internet dra...

Before I even begin this post, I'm going to start with a blunt disclaimer: I am an insular person, with a more introverted way of approaching social situations. I tend to only select a close few people as good friends, and as I get older an...

While the rest of the internet has been creating a huge brouhaha over Mass Effect 3 and it's endings, I've decided to finally brave the fjords of another game and discover what dramatic secrets it holds. ...No, not Skyrim. I've played thro...

Today while doing some research for a different game preview, I stumbled across a free flash game called A Closed World that takes on lesbian and gay issues in a way that I've not really seen before. The game, as an actual "game" is pretty...

So, there's this site that I often stop at for quite awhile while stumbling - 8tracks.com, where anyone can create a mixtape that anyone else can listen to. Today, while futzing around on the internet, I came across this amazing mix someon...

Guess what guys and gals! Much like Jim Sterling, I too got the Ocarina of Time 3DS soundtrack in the mail! I have chronicled my excitement with this image: However, I don't plan to actually ever open it or listen to it, because it is ...

Hi! I'm new here guys! How do I shot web? How babby get formed? I am 12 and what is this? And a host of other classic internet memes, brought to you by your host, Troy McClure. Terrible Intros aside, I'm new as an intern editor but I'm...
