I'll see you around, Destructoid.

From PAX Prime 2010, one of my all-time favorite Destructoid group photos Yesterday was officially my last day at Destructoid. I've been happy and proud to call this place my Internet home for the past four-plus years. I still remember w...

 
 
 

Thank you, internet.

Hey, look, it's a c-blog from me -- for the first time in a year! If you follow me on Twitter, you witnessed some amazing generosity today on the part of the co-hosts of Rebel FM (a podcast that you should already have been listening to)...

 
 
 

10 things you didn't know about Samit Sarkar

Holy crap, I have a c-blog! I'm not gonna lie -- I kinda didn't want to do one of these blogs. I've been tagged by at least four different people on Facebook for one of those goddamn "25 things" notes, and I flat-out refuse to do one. But ...

 
 
 
 
 

And the GT 5: Prologue coupon winrar is...

manta! Congratulations on winning the contest! I was born in 1986, so the number in my head this time was 86. The closest was manta, who guessed 52; the runner-up, to whom mix will donate his coupon code, was... BahamutZero! He guessed...

 
 
 
 

My thoughts on Valentine�s Day

Valentine�s Day is the stupidest �Hallmark holiday� anyone could have come up with. Oh, let�s take a day out of the year to celebrate love! What kind of sappy bullshit is that? Actually, forget the sappy qualities of the day. This day jus...

 
 
 

And the GoW: CoO coupon winrar is...

LostCrichton! Congratulations! I happened to be thinking of Mariano Rivera, so the number in my head was 42, which he (she? I don�t want to be presumptuous...) guessed exactly. Please send me a PM or email (my address is in my profile si...

 
 
 
 
 

Insomniac interview: Resistance 2

On Thursday, IGN put up this four-and-a-half-minute-long video interview with Ted Price, the President and CEO of Insomniac Games. It doesn�t reveal a whole lot more than we already know about Resistance 2, but the few of you out there wh...

 
 
 

Well, that�s just excessive...

Inspired by dvddesign�s recent blog entry on a guy with a 2400-sq.-ft. arcade in his house, I decided to post something similar that I saw over on CNET�s Crave blog, which often features all manner of ostentatiously extravagant gadgets, gea...

 
 
 

Well, that�s quite a milestone...

Wow. That sure is a lot of comments, isn�t it? Because I�m a science guy, and I like to do some calculations to show cool stuff, I�m gonna go for it. I started reading Destructoid sometime in August of 2006, so if we start from the middl...

 
 
 

The 80 GB PS3 is no more...

The demise of the 80 GB PlayStation 3 has been reported on before, most notably by c-bloggers/matlockers liqideos and Y0j1mb0. But I�m here to give you proof besides �scans� of �emails� and so-called �insider information�. Nothing officia...

 
 
 
 
 

[update] New details emerge on GTA IV

Fellow c-blogger Kryptinite beat me to part of what I was going to post, so I�ll just summarize his post by saying that Rockstar sent out an email this morning confirming that the official release date for Grand Theft Auto IV has been set f...

 
 
 

[repost] CONTEST: Win a PSP game coupon!

Well, since I received a grand total of zero entries for the contest I posted just under three weeks ago, I�m giving everybody a second chance. Yes, I know the deadline was a while ago, but I was busy over the holidays, and it�s probably be...

 
 
 
 

FNF on PS3 = AWOL; Calling all PS3 owners...

Man, that�s a lot of acronyms. Last night, as you all know, was the 20th Friday Night Fights. Snaileb did a good job letting everyone know what the deal was in Grim�s absence. However � and this is not anyone�s fault in particular � I feel...

 
 
 

CONTEST: Win a PSP game coupon!

As many of you know, I�m the happy owner of a PS3, and I have many games for it. But I�ve never been into handheld gaming; when I was young, my parents would only let my brother and me have one console at a time (per generation, that is), a...

 
 
 
 
 

Blip Festival 2007: The Photoblog

As promised, here�s the story of my awesome experience at Blip Festival 2007. Out of the four days of the event, I attended Friday and Saturday night�s festivities (I had schoolwork on Thursday and Sunday nights). But I still had a great ti...

 
 
 

I AM A GOLDEN GOD (of Folding@Home)

This is another late post, but I was busy this weekend with schoolwork and the Blip Festival (more on that to come in a future blog entry). I�ll start out by saying it�s kind of a �toot my own horn� post...but you probably already figured t...

 
 
 
 

Dale North [almost] made Sony cry

Someone may already have posted this, but I didn�t see it, so I�m gonna go ahead anyway. This past Friday, our very own Dale North put up a post wishing the PlayStation 3 a happy first birthday. Well, it seems that the internets have taken ...

 
 
 

Harmonix hates the PS3, part deux

As if this story wasn�t enough of an insult to PS3 owners who were eager to purchase Rock Band, Harmonix has given us the shaft yet again. According to IGN, the PS3 Rock Band bundle lacks the four-port powered USB hub that is present in the...
