Dango's Favourite Food (NVGR)

  Hello Destructoid, and welcome to a very special blog! Writing about interactive entertainment is a lot of fun, and it's something that I intend to do more in the future. However, sometimes you need to take liberties with what...

 
 
 

My experience with Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Merry Christmas everyone, or at least you'd think it was, seeing as this is a super late Secret Santa related blog that I probably could've easily written ages ago. It's a task that's been hanging over my head for a while now, an...

 
 
 

THE MAGNIFICENT NINE OF THIS TRUCK TOID

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU MOTHER FU *ahem* Happy 9th Anniversary, Destructoid! While I haven't even been around for half as much time, it certainly feels like an online home to me. Lots of good times have been had, both in the front page com...

 
 
 

Original Ape Escape team still in touch, has dinner

If you use Twitter and have any interest in video games, I strongly recommend that you follow Shuhei Yoshida. That man is a prime example of the kind of executive that benefits any industry, with his down-to-earth attitude and cle...

 
 
 

Happy New Cr�mant: Rise of the Octokorra

A lot of people have been writing big, ballin blogs about the games they've enjoyed in the year 2014, which have mostly included games from that very same year. I like following trends, so I've been wanting to make one as well. O...

 
 
 
 

Boss Fight Appreciation Zone - ROUND 4

Check out the others!   You're struggling. The battlefield has not shown you mercy, and you find yourself getting increasingly exhausted, as fierce enemies overwhelm you and grand obstacles stand before you. At times, it m...

 
 
 

El Dango's 2015 Wanted Games Most Also

(DISCLAIMER: I have no idea when most of these games are actually going to come out, but if they all hit 2015, that would be swell) Hello, it's me! Jinx's blog had the very fortunate effect of putting a new game (Hellraid) on my r...

 
 
 

Fangs for the Memories: Hunter Hunted

The year was Windows 95. The grass was blue, the sky was green and the birds were barking. Pixels were as big as bricks, and I had to walk several kilograms to get to the glue factory every Thursday. Times were rough. Good thing we ha...

 
 
 
 
 

BFAZ - Bonus Round: Metal Gear Rising: REVENGEANCE

Like boss fights? Check out the original trilogy:   Looks like it's time for the very first Boss Fight Appreciation Zone Bonus Round! *wicked banjo riff* Now, it's generally known around these parts that I love bosses lik...

 
 
 

My Favourite Game: Ape Escape

Yeah, feels about right. It's an extremely difficult choice to make, picking my favourite game of them all, but this feels like a solid choice. I mean sure, it lacks the deep lore of Oddworld, the sweet rawness of Doom and the satisfy...

 
 
 
 

Check out these corgi statues!

Pretty cool, huh? The site where I found them says that "These bronze Corgi statues were installed on a street in Christchurch, New Zealand, as an homage to Queen Elizabeth II for her Golden Jubilee." Guess the ever immortal...

God damn bullshit bonus DLC money fucking shit fuck!

Once upon a time, not too long ago, video games would reward you with fun little bonuses. These bonuses would often vary. Sometimes, it would be an unstoppable super-weapon (my favourite examples including Doom's BFG and Ratchet & Clank's R...

 
 
 

More E3 hype stuff

E3 is pretty neat. If it's not the center of fun video game hype, then at least it gets to be a source of things to mock. But I'm still mostly in it for the video games and the hype, which is fun while it lasts. So now I'm gonna talk about...

 
 
 

i could only think of 8 things

Goddammit! FUCK! It's HARD! But whatever, it'll have to do: 1. I�m not entirely satisfied with internet/nerd culture When I say this, I mean that too many people within this culture (though not all) need to get over themselves, their i...

 
 
 
 

Top 5 most evil villains ever!

Some villains are more evil than others, and these are those. Ok, have nice read. 5. Blinky (Pac Man) Of all ghosts that Mr. Pac Woman has ever had to deal with, this is clearly the spookiest. This guy doesn't fuck around, but goes strai...

 
 
 

Top 10 Drowning Levels

ATTENTION: Resized images don't seem to work for me. If you have the same problem, just imagine those lines of code as pretty images. The idea that water levels are inherently worse than other types of levels is not at all the fault of wat...

 
 
 

Game Thing - Oddworld: Abe's Excellent Adventures

So this is a tough one to tackle... How do you even talk about Oddworld? Like, how do you even introduce it to an audience? It seems impossible to properly explain it to anyone without simply confusing them. This is probably why these game...

 
 
 

Game Thing - Doom

I like first person shooters. They get a bad rep these days due to over-exposure, and the fact that most modern ones take on this grey, gritty and overly serious military theme. And because said shooters tend to have underwhelming campaigns...

 
 
 
 

Game Thing - Ape Escape

Like all you guys, I also find myself having way too much time on my hands, so here's another series of blogs about a subject. First thing I need is a title. Now, seeing as all the good ones have been taken, I'm gonna call it Game Thing. Ho...
