When I first started playing video games, it was just a way for me to pass the time, and enjoy myself. As I grew older it became more than that, I started falling in love with characters, being a part of amazing, well written stories, and i...

Hello Destructoid, It's been quite a while since my last blog. Life took control for the most part, being busy with work and other side projects made it hard to get a chance to blog. This is something I've been wanting to write for a while...

This month's monthly musing has really given me a lot of food for thought. There are lot of games I've played over the years that I could say have truly and definitively taken my breath away. OgreBattle 64, for instance, with it's unique ga...

I don't know why, but this question has been sitting in my head for the last week. All I could do was think and think and think about it. What does being a gamer mean to me? Why? Even as I sit here typing this blog, I ponder it over and o...

The date for Sakuracon looms ever closer, and prepping for next month will be a fun adventure. Putting aside thousands of dollars to spend on vidja games, and eating things at the cheesecake cafe across the street from the convention center...

Hey everyone! With the release of Pokemon Black and White in a mere 4 days, I've been catching Pokemon fever yet again. As I've stated in a previous blog, my total time from RBY till HG/SS has clocked in over 14,000 hours, and I've collect...

Hello Destructoid! Hope everyone's Valentines Day is going well! I spent the day working and will be home alone tonight, but it's no big deal. I get to spend the day with the one true love who has never broken my heart or betrayed me, my N...

Hello Destructoid! My first blog post was a little bit of an insight on how I got into gaming, but I never really introduced myself... so here goes! My name's Yavuz, I'm 21 years of age, I live in Calgary, AB, Canada, and I was introduced...

So, after god knows how many years of my old AM2 chipset and 1.2GHZ processor (don't get me wrong, this thing was pretty reliable and served me well over the years), I finally upgraded my system today.. AMD X4 965, runs at 3.4GHz stock, 4 ...

Inspiration. Something that one almost always finds inadvertently. You can't go looking for it, it always finds you. Being in this world for 21 years has left me with many sources of inspiration, but as new inspiration comes, you tend to fo...

World of Warcraft I've played since Day 1, and I've always enjoyed the game. Maybe not all the players who I have to deal with on a weekly basis, but I really enjoy the lore, and some of the raids that have been released throughout the lif...

First things first, don't worry, this is completely spoiler free. Anyway, I picked up the Collectors Edition of the game on launch day, Starcraft has always been a favorite game of mine, so I couldn't pass up on the collectors edition (and...

So the Starcraft II Beta came back up yesterday.. I've got mixed feelings. I love the game, don't get me wrong, the improved graphics, and the balance is a little bit better as well. I'm also very excited for the new map editor, playing w...

With all the buzz about E3 (come on, who isn't excited haha), I went and took a peek at a few things, courtesy of the E3 channel on youtube, which was streaming it live. To be honest, I was kinda disappointed with the Nintendo announcement...
