It's not me... it's you. I'm dressed up, controller in hand, and ready for a play date... but you don't want to come out and play. The Friday Night Fights are gradually dying. There is the same dozen or so people on both the PS3 and th...

Yeah, this was last week's topic and I'm just getting around to it now... and before anyone starts getting bent out of shape about the choice of title... let me explain something. I'm old. I'm not "I remember when they invented fire" old....

Ugh... so apparently a shitstorm hit over my blog on the weekly topic of esports (http://www.destructoid.com/esports-really--208179.phtml ) and it garnered over 100 comments. I do find it interestingly ironic that one of my worst blogs h...

Trev is usually our PS3 FNF High Lord of Tickle Fights and Wedgies, but he's taking a short break, so this week you get me as your Mistress of Mayhem. First off, I'd like to have a gentle encouraging word with anyone out there who owns a...

So I downloaded Crackle for my iPad (and Ipod Touch) and it's an app that streams older movies and TV shows somewhat like Netflix, only it's free! Turns out that the service is owned by Sony and the content is primarily Sony movies and S...

Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty was a BRILLIANT concept. It was a small PSN game, with a small price of only $15.99, but it had much of the gameplay of a full Ratchet and Clank title - only bite sized! The game served as a bit of a s...

On Facebook I noticed that one of my friends was looking for sponsor's for an Extra Life charity event where she will be playing games to raise money for charity. I sometimes donate to these causes, but a recent report last night on my l...

Wow I'm shallow. I want to get married and have kids, I really do, but I just can't bring myself to marry an ugly man. Unfortunately, all the men are ugly! Now I've been through some hard times, and I'm a brawler, so I've packed on som...

Having watched the main keynotes for this year's E3, I came away with one large impression... the casual gamer wins. I use the term "casual gamer" rather loosely - but I'm referring to those that don't want the experience of a console and...

(Disclaimer: no journalists were harmed, maimed nor given wedgies in the creation of this blog. Product shown in picture is not actual product slandered in blog, merely a convenient representative of the species.) Stand aside! I'm media! ...

There was no such thing as "pc graphics". The computer was a black screen and you could input text. It was a wonderful invention that made my work day so much easier. No longer did I have to use carbon paper to make a copy of a document ...

Yeah, when my old 60GB backward compatible PS3 died last year, I lost the ability to play the old PS2 Eyetoy dancing game "Groove" on my PS3. I was a sad girl. I was therefore delighted when my husband recently bought me a 360 with the ...

Marriage is an adventure, like going to war... and it's even more of an adventure when you do indeed go to war and fight the enemy with your spouse. My husband and I have played couch co-op games, but our disagreements are private. Well,...

I miss the days of games like UT3, Warhawk and even Resistance: Fall of Man. These stand out as some of my favorite games! I hated using the rocket launcher in all those games... but they were a favored weapon and I still remember a frie...

Yes, it's something I'm a bit embarrassed about, but I love you all, so I'll let you in on my shameful secret - I love weddings. I watch all those wedding shows on TV - Say Yes to the Dress, Rich Bride/Poor Bride, Wedding SOS and others....

I can't seem to get that recent trailer for Duke Nukem out of my head. Duke Nukem is the epitome of the self involved man who uses his overly abundant physical power. His body image is a caracature of the alpha male with the overdevelo...

Homefront is still awaiting a patch and it's frustrating not being able to easily play with your friends! I tried to join Corak in Homefront on Saturday night, only the game wouldn't let me in. I finally just used the random matchmaking...

Homefront has more issues than my psychotic, schizophrenic, alcoholic ex-boyfriend. Yeah, he seemed nice. He was very smooth and lots of fun... at first, until you dated him for a bit. The gameplay in Homefront is great. The controls ...

So I've pretty much finished Two Worlds 2.. or so I thought. I'm at the final boss battle and it is probably one of the absolute worst final boss battles I've ever encountered. I won't say much because of spoilers, but frankly, it's bor...

I bought a house!! It's a huge mansion in the main city of Hatmandor in the game Two Worlds 2. It has several levels, and multiple bedrooms (but no bathrooms) and a lovely front yard that for some reason always seems to have people wand...

I'm a female, but every time I put a game in my PS3... "poof" apparently I am once again turned into a male and I seem destined to sport a virtual penis. It's truly a nightmare of epic proportions...well, maybe not epic, as I generally g...

For many who played Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the above quote may have simply seemed like a throw away line... but for others, it was a direct reference to Machiavelli's book "The Prince". My degree is in Political Science and that ...

Are you evil? Do you have a chilling laugh? Do you practice the Dark Arts? Are you my long lost older brother or half sister raised by our evil father? Do you want to kill me? Then you, yes you, could be my evil antagonist! Do you h...

I'm sure of it. I'm mutating into some kind of inhuman creature. It started with a sore throat last Friday and the following day I had the raspy breathing of that creepy 2am stalker who wants to know what you're wearing. For the next few...

It's that most wonderful time of the year when we get to indulge in a human emotion usually looked down upon and reviled... greed! We can guiltlessly sit down and make out our Christmas lists of everything we truly want. Was there a gam...

A Destructoid exclusive!! Jobs in gaming - everybody wants one, and today we have the opportunity to sit down and talk with a star who has appeared in more games than Lara Croft, Mario and Sonic combined! Yes, today we chat with Chester...

I've recently been playing (and have almost finished) Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, a launch RPG for the PS3 system. Simply put, it's a bad game... yet somehow I'm actually enjoying it. I think part of the enjoyment is the retro feel of...

Today is Remembrance Day. Has playing shooter games desensitized me to the violence and tragedy of real war? Has the overload of simulated killing in a virtual war environment trivialized real world death where there is no such thing as...

Original blog was posted on #newdestructoid and somehow all comments are now lost as is the original blog. This is a bit of a reconstruction. RPG's are awesome. Cast invisibility to cloak, summon a demon to fight for your side, have you...

This blog is inspired by Manasteel88's wonderful tribute to Superman in his recent blog Comics in Superman ( ) If you haven't read his blog yet, take a moment, it's a great read!  I never read the Superman or Spiderma...
