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...

Hey broskis, I will be heading to LA for E3 in a week, and while there I will have a chance to speak with Blizzard about Heart of the Swarm. I want to know, what questions the Dtoid community would like to ask Blizzard. This stuff will go...

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, ...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

For quite some time I’ve had some rather unusual thoughts about the structure of gameplay difficulty, and I’m glad that I have some incentive to fully explore and distill these concepts into a cogent argument. Consider this common sc...

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...

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...

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 ...
