The Witcher 2 strikes me as a very odd game: It has a large cult following, beautiful graphics, a deep back story, loads of items to find and quests to go on. Basically it has everything an RPG needs to be successful on the Xbox 360, and ...

BEHOLD! A whole 24 hours before its scheduled release date, I am the proud owner of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition (was this named by Capcom?)! Yep, I was one of the 1,000 lucky gamers chosen to review the new release ...

Hey Destructoid, it's been awhile eh? I've been a busy little robot, let me tell you. I just graduated from RPI with a BAS in Video Games and Simulations Arts and Sciences and a BAS in Communications so I'm looking for a job. On top of th...

This blog was written as an assignment for my Experimental Game Design class, so if it seems more formal than my usual entries, that's why. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is one of the very few games that I can claim legitimately scares me. Th...

Okay, so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself with my blog title here, but after buying the first gen DS and first gen GBA, I can't help but feel paranoid that Nintendo will be making such an announcement now that I'm the proud owner of a co...

Everyone's excited to celebrate mah birthday! So I just got off the phone with Obama, who had just gotten off the phone with several other world leaders. It seems they all agree that we need a summer holiday that rivals the birth of Jesu...

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've been around these parts. I figured I'd drop by, see how you all were doing and give you a bit of an update on myself. Life has been pretty crazy for me as of late, I'm one semester away from gradu...

Once upon a time, I was in a Best Buy and I saw the worlds greatest invention;The Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker. Sadly, an evil witch convinced me not to buy it. I have been sad ever since. Today, this grave injustice has been rectified. ...

Most people, when complaining about Epic Mickey, will point to two things, the camera and the graphics. I’m going to be upfront and say that I don’t address these two issues in this blog because in my mind, they’re not issues at all. The ...

Manasteel88's winning photoshop. Despite the lower number of entrants, this years contest was much harder for me to judge than last years. Because the three dtoiders that entered did such good work, I've decided to throw a prize to the tw...

Attention Dtoiders, you now have less than 12 hours to submit a photoshop to my contest and secure your chance to win 5 games! Tonight at midnight eastern time, I will be checking the submissions and picking a winner. Tomorrow around this...

You want this... This is just a reminder to all dtoiders that you now have a little over 2 days to enter my Holiday contest, the winner of which will receive the Indie Beat Pack on Steam which includes Beat Hazard, Chime and Bit.Trip Beat...

Last year's winning entry, by Gyrael. Last year for the Holidays, I decided to give back to the Dtoid community by giving away Torchlight in a small contest right here on my cblog. It was one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done h...

This is the view of my living room from the couch. So it’s been a while since I posted one of these and you all seemed to like the last two I did so here I am with round three. I’ve actually been using this current setup for about half a ...

First I just want to say that I am not the biggest fan of poker. I have seen it on TV briefly, I’ve paid $20 so my cousin Dan can laugh at me while he takes my money, hell, I even own a poker set, I keep it somewhere in my closet. Texas H...

24 years old and I don't even rule the world yet, otherwise today would be a national holiday. I give it another decade or so before you petulant hypocritical tapeworms realize that I am the best in the world at what I do. So what does a...

My last setup blog was rather popular on here but as most of you know, I no longer have access to that setup and have been saving my money for new stuff for about a year now. Well, I bought the Wii a few months ago, I've been told by a ve...

Now that the semester is over I've been playing a ton of video games, trying to catch up on my backlog (see header image and link in sidebar) and I would like to talk about a few of them. First up is NFS Prostreet, I've been in love with ...

No, this isn't video game related, but it is too awesome not to share with you guys and gals. NASA has a website up here that allows you to upload your name and photo for them to take with them on their next mission into space. That's rig...

So this started out as a comment on Hamza's front page post last night but it got too long so I decided to post it here in the cblogs. It was so long in fact that I felt it was getting TL:DR even for the cblogs. So I shortened it down to ...

Some of you may remember me winning the original Bad Company in a Dtoid contest a couple of years ago. I'd like to think that getting the game for free didn't make it easier to love but I did love it more than most. I thought the single p...

Yep,it finally happened. 12/16/2007 - 2/21/2010, my Xbox 360 lived a short but productive life. It will be shipped off to be repaired this week. Here's how it went down. I had just sat down to play some Bioshock 2 multiplayer,which I was ...

This person was mad about something but it wasn't necessarily video games. I've been hearing a lot of talk lately about how negative gamers are and how we can never appreciate anything. The stereotype says that we will bitch about everyth...

Those two may have actual weapons like swords and nunchucks but seriously, they ain't got shit on me. Xbox: First up, I have my original Xbox which I just love dropping on fools heads. You better not piss me off while you're laying down...

I really need to get a proper digital camera. These cellphone pics aren't cutting it. A few people have asked about my setup recently so thought I’d post at least one picture of the setup I’ve been gaming on for the past few months. Desp...

Picture unrelated, kind of... I got an interesting email this morning from Brett Schenker, the Online Advocacy Manager for the Entertainment Consumers Association. The email urged me to speak out for Net Neutrality and after doing everyth...

There has been much fervor on display in the gaming community for the recently released Modern Warfare 2. And with good reason, the game is quite possibly the best interactive depiction of modern war that we have yet seen. It’s also a to...

A green box...Is this what I think it is? Styrofoam, hmmm, must be important. FUCK YES! IT'S MY VERY OWN MR. DESTRUCTOID! These are the places where Mr. Dtoid might end up in my apartment. On my desk where I keep various things I li...

Here's hoping you pull a Captain Price and make it to the sequel Ghost. WARNING: This blog contains massive spoilers for Modern Warfare 2. If you haven't played through the whole game, I'd advise you to stop reading now. In my last blog ...

I'm sure if you're reading this than you are familiar with the infamous No Russian Level in Modern Warfare 2 as well as the controversy surrounding it. Now, I haven't played MW2 yet, it's in the mail, should arrive any day now, but I've s...
