Mandatory Monty Python reference! Hold on a minute... let me put down this cooking pot, untie my apron, put on some lipstick, ask my husband for permission to write this blog and vent a bit. Dammit! Why the hell didn't somebody tell me ...

Yes, yes I did! I picked him up, carried him to the cliff edge... and tossed him off!! My husband and I had an argument about him wanting to buy a new car. He wants to buy a sports car that we don't need, because we already have an olde...

Me and my .... wife? I love Dragon's Dogma! I've played most of the WRPG games out there and Dragon's Dogma blends the best of character customization, open world, quest driven tropes with some interesting and totally awesome battle mech...

I've talked before about how gaming can help relieve post-operative pain and recovery from surgery (Gaming through the Pain ) and some evidence seems to additionally suggest that video games can not only help the patient, but can also hel...

My favorite video game character represents everything I want in a female game character. She's usually older and wiser, with white or graying hair. She is brave, independent and incredibly moral; choosing the path of good, though occ...

Why the hell is nobody talking to me? By me, I don't mean the singular - like this picture of me at PAX last year holding avatars for Red and Clockwork , no, I mean me... the demographic. There has been some recent ruckus over Anita Sa...

This is just a fast blog but it's to express my extreme disappointment with the state of PS3 gaming. Today my wonderful husband bought me some new games. It was actually quite funny because today I found out that I'm going to need an upco...

Seriously... free video games. It seems a lot of people aren't aware that many public libraries now carry video games and lend them out just like books. This is a fairly new phenomenon but is gradually spreading. With the introduction ...

So I finally picked up my copy of Assassin's Creed: Revelations... and my, that old Ezio is pretty hot!! I think he finally usurped Old Snake's place in my heart as the sexiest video game star. It's interesting that we are recently seei...

Yeah apparently I have a well worn ass pillow from all the buttkicking my posterior region takes when playing many online games. Its interesting though that when given a choice between being on a winning team, or being on a losing team.....

That's right, it's my Birthday on Monday, April 02 and I will be turning 50 years old. In honor of this prestigious occasion I'm going to host my own Warhawk party. If you have the game, drag it out. If you don't have the game, there is...

Elsa's adventures in gaming... Or how I accidentally killed an entire town. So I'm on a typical quest... find the lost person in the temple. The temple is filled with some pretty high level Serpent type bad guys, but with some smart p...

Yes, yes I do. I want to be your leader... Commander... the ultimate Armchair General sending you all to your doom from that big ship up there in the sky in that screenshot. I want to play Dust 514! While Byronic Man (or Tsukanda on ...

In my last blog I talked about why I don't collect games or gaming related items because I lacked the room or desire to collect and AliD mentioned that he enjoyed Steam because he was able to collect games without needing the physical space...

I once bought a ceramic duck and put it in my bathroom as decoration. My sister then gave me a lovely watercolor of a duck. Soon others followed and the bathroom gradually filled with ducks... more pictures, little wooden ducks, anothe...

While playing MAG last week, I took note of two gamertags... ugotkilledbyachick and agirlkilledu. Their gamertags irritated me. In fact, "irritated" is probably too mild a word as I think I said something to the effect of "I just got ki...

I've never been a real fan of the Call of Duty Series. I've played the campaigns for most of the recent games and particularly enjoyed the Modern Warfare series, but I've just never enjoyed the online play. I tend to like team based sho...

Mods or modifications are generally associated with PC gaming, and they are usually fun changes to a game that make all the characters naked, add game content, or in the case of the header picture... let you play Oblivion as Michael Jacks...

Yeah, I'm currently playing Fable 3 instead of Skyrim. I'm old. Normally for Christmas I get practical things like socks, fuzzy slippers, or a pizza cutter. Last year I actually had a totally awesome Christmas and my husband bought me an...

... but this woman does! I love playing open world WRPG games and recently completed Fallout: New Vegas and I'm just currently finishing Divinity 2. Both games have shitty maps. I spent many frustrating hours in Fallout, heading for a m...

The stoic soldier, with gun pointed down... walking away from a hazy wartorn backdrop. There are too many shooter games. North Americans are obsessed with their stupid FPS games. AAA games are all becoming FPS games. FPS games are all i...

So Tuesday morning... 8:02 am pacific time... I'm running late this morning because the neighbor's dog spent most of the night barking at a racoon that was sitting on the top of the fence between our two properties. I haven't seen the ra...

So, I completed Fallout New Vegas over the weekend and finished my story of siding with the NCR and bringing order to the wildness of the west. I got the Brotherhood of Steel, the Boomers and the Great Khans to help me out. Most faction...

Could the iPad be your next gaming console? Tablet computers are in their infancy, yet already many people are choosing a tablet instead of a new computer. Tablets easily work as a portable TV with multiple options for downloading or st...

Battlefield 3's impending launch is looking a bit "dicey"! It's been widely reported that since the launch of the Beta, there have been over 34,000 canceled pre-orders and the feedback on the beta forums has not been pleasant. Dice and ...

"Normal vision" So I have butterfly pattern macular dystrophy. It sounds pretty (cause butterfly's are so pretty), and it's not really a big deal, but it means that I'm slowly losing my vision and have a very good chance of having increa...

So I've had my 360 for while now and feel comfortable talking about my first impressions of the system. First off, aside from the exclusive games, the 360 and the PS3 aren't all that different. They both have the ability to act as medi...

So... according to this the new code word for pics of half naked ladies is going to be kittens? My, how original. The question asked was would we like to see more "kittens" on Destructoid. My short answer is "no". I remember when I ...

So the 10th anniversary of 9/11 is over. There were endless documentaries, made for TV movies, blogs and articles that commemorated the event. It brought back my own vivid memories of 9/11. I had quit full time work that year and was at ...

People like Steam. They know it, they are comfortable with it, they can buy everything they want or need for PC gaming from one source where their credit card information is securely held. People like Apple for much the same reason, the...
