Hello Destructoid. Do you remember me? It's alright if you don't, it's been nearly a year since my last post, and I haven't been very active in the community. Still, hello all the same. I'm writing this blog as an introduction for all you c...

[SPOILER WARNING: If you've yet to play Final Fantasy IX I have to caution you on a couple of spoilers. It's nothing major, but they are mentioned, and one of the key points I make details a spoiler that takes place near the end of the th...

Good morning community. For those of you not aware, Destructoid has a forum. Within that forum is a thread, a thread where the Destructoid community routinely posts the games they've completed as they complete them. Then, it's left up to a ...

Earlier today I made a comment on the final post in Destructoid's "50 best games of the decade" feature. It dawned on me that the message I had intended for the editor's, and subsequently Destructoid on a whole to see, might get lost in the...

Majora's Mask is as simple a game as it is a complex one. As heartwarming a game as it is soul crushing. In all my years as a player, I have yet to encounter another experience in media that affects me as deeply as Majora's Mask did, on suc...

Wii Sucks is a lie too. I, I think that people only fondly remember WiiSucks because that�s a popular thing to do, like loving Banj. That�s a Cblog thing. Woah, I�ve never been up here. That�s the thing I like about Madworld, because you fi...

Please, under no circumstances should any of you attempt what I have done in this video.

You hear me, Internet? What the hell are you waiting for? Why are you reading this? Why aren't you downloading RunMan: Race Around the World instead? While I'm of the opinion that the above video should be all of the proof that you need t...

This blog has been a long time coming. Fresh off of completing Final Fantasy VI on the SNES, III if you're one of those people, I assumed that the denizens of Destructoid would like to know what I thought of the experience. Conceited of m...

Welcome, welcome! After hearing that the Chronotorious album by The Bad Dudes was receiving a limited run of 1,000 copies made, I rushed to make a purchase. I had such confidence in the people behind this project that I didn't even bother c...

Welcome to The Music Game, my rather uncreatively titled once a week segment on memorable games music. Requests for what games you'd like to see my tackle next are welcome in the comments below, any request will be added to my list. Unfortu...

Fellow users of Destructoid, men, women, children alike, I have discovered the true identity of local community member Scary Womanizing Pig Mask. After much SCIENCE! and REASON! I have deduced that SWPM is the Rick Moranis. All five of yo...

OH MY GOD! Spelunky is a wonderful, wonderful indie game by Derek Yu. If you haven't played it, go do so right now, here. To those of you who have played it, get excited. It was announced today on Spelunky World that the game is headed to...

Three posts in one day? Two of them are about the same game? For shame, Krow, for shame. I know this obviously could have gone in my last blog, but it completely slipped my mind. Normally I'd just wait to do something like this, but it's a ...

Oh, man. Final Fantasy: Dissidia marks the first time that I've fallen in love with a game in years. This is no small feat, I assure you. It's not just the over the top action, the beautiful graphics, or the wonderful soundtrack mind you....

Sup Destructoid? This has been floating around the web for a while now, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight it around here. The MvC2 mix-tape came out on PSN a week or so ago, and it was also released here at The Koalition. It's fa...

I've been working my way through Final Fantasy XII for the past few days. After the tidal wave of positive reviews the game received back in 2005 (2006?), I made sure to pick it up. I then discovered that the Internet did not share the same...

Hi! My name is Jack Klassen.! I'm a completely ordinary teenage boy from San Diego, California. My interests include soccer, surfing, writing poetry, and luge. I am homeschooled by my father who fought in the Korean War and was exposed to n...

Ah, Paper Mario. You're the very first game to enrapture me to the point of total obsession, a trait that would lead to your inevitable completion and a smaller version of me dancing around the room, excited at the prospect of having finall...

Yeah, I don't know what to think either. This supposed scan from a Famitsu magazine shows off Persona 3: Portable in all of its one page glory. Instead of the hero we've grown used to, we're greeted by a female counter-part. An updated fe...

Journal Entry #2, September 31st, 1998 This morning when I awoke I immediately set out to conquer the Viridian forest. I had entered its vast expanses once before, but only briefly. Within I would fight my first Pokemon battles against oth...

Journal Entry #1, September 30th, 1998: Today began like any other. I woke up, did my share of household chores, and then sat around playing my NES. Something was different though. Adventure was in the air and my young legs were craving the...

I did something tonight. I compiled every single Monthly Musing thus far written into a thread entitled Dtoid Forum Discusses: Monthly Musings: I suck at games, for your benefit. I know that the community blogs and the forums don't often ...

Welcome to Living Obstacles, a routine blog series I came up with one day in an extra long shower. Living Obstacles is an attempt to analyze and highlight different boss battles throughout the history of gaming. Depending on the mechanics o...

Dear Pedro, I miss you. It's been eight years since we last saw each other, and though I've held on to the hope that we would one day meet again, I know now that it isn't meant to be. When I first caught you, you were nothing but a wild M...

It was with a great deal of determination and time that I set out to complete Chrono Trigger. I had reached the end many times before, but I had never taken the final step. I had never defeated the tyrant Lavos. If you were to look at it ...

Sup Destructoid? It dawned on me this morning that I have an enormous back log of video games and absolutely no idea where I should start. I've put a bar on myself from buying new video games, with a few exceptions, until I beat every game ...

Thanks to the magic that are flea markets and pawn shops, I found a working Nintendo from 1985 and a few games a couple of weeks ago. Knowing how much you cool cats love video games, I figured I'd share the retro goodness I uncovered throug...
