Dtoid Memories: When I was but a child

Okay, look. I can kinda be a little obnoxious about how long I've been a fan of Destructoid. I get that. Sometimes I just can't help but bring it up. It's just... it's been such a significant part of my life for so long, that I really do...

 
 
 
 

East vs. West: From the ashes

The United States is the undisputed birthplace of the games industry. Built on brands like Magnavox and Atari, the seeds for interactive media were sewn in the west. And then... we cocked it up. After the great Video Game Crash of 1983, ...

 
 
 

Oklahoma/Texas NARP

So... I've decided to hold a NARP at my place in Minneapolis in a few months (exact date is TBD). In the meantime, I want to advertise a get together for people in Oklahoma and Northern Texas. I'm keeping it to just those, because it woul...

 
 
 

My growing backlog...

I want to make some sort of pathetic attempt to keep this active, though it seems that is getting harder by the day. A growing problem for me has been the amount of time I am spending on non-gaming things. I haven't really sat-down and play...

 
 
 

A wild intern has appeared!

My name is Daniel Starkey. I�m one of about a dozen new Destructoid interns. We're pretty awesome. I was born in Texas, raised in Oklahoma, and I�m currently attending the University of Minnesota for some liberal arts bullsh!t. I�ve been ar...

 
 
 

I think I might be a pompous ass... Maybe...

I am someone who has been steeped in gaming. I started playing when I was just a few months old, and over the past two decades I�ve developed a sense of arrogance when it comes to gaming. It is something that I have reflected upon time an...

 
 
 

GG- Gaming Gab

I realized that I�ve pretty much only posted larger articles I�d like to post some smaller, more regular things dealing predominantly with my experiences with several on-campus video game clubs. I�m a President of one, vice of another, fo...

 
 
 

Mass Effect 2: Arrival Review

Being the Bioware whore that I am, I bought and finished the latest DLC for my current favorite game, Mass Effect 2, within the first few hours of its release. This is my review of Arrival ME2�s latest and last expansion, and the �bridge...

 
 
 
 

Groundhog Day: Time to save Lylat...

This is the portal to the Lylat system... I put far too much time into saving the pansies that live there... When I was a young lad, just seven years of age, I dreamed of nothing more than getting my hands on a Nintendo 64. My birthday p...

 
 
 

Mass Effect 2 Review

I would like to preface this by saying that, in a past life I once reviewed games on a regular basis. I had my share of pre-release review copies and the like, and some recent events have inspired to take up pen once again. I am starting wh...

 
 
 

PAX Inspirations and Impressions

So. PAX. Kind of a big deal. And really fucking awesome. But we already knew that. But... seeing all the D-toiders again, and many for the first time, and having to tell no less than 10 million of them that I was no longer active filled me ...

 
 

About Daniel Starkeyone of us since 2:41 PM on 12.27.2006

Some say he never sleeps and eats only gourmet amaretto cupcakes. Others claim he's a hyperactive optimist. To citizens of the Destructoid empire, though, he's Captain Starkey, Intergalactic Games Journalist.


Disclosure: In my undergrad at the University of Minnesota, I did do PR and event promotion for Microsoft. It does not and has not affected any of the pieces I have written, but it is something that you, as a reader, should know.
