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...

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)...

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 ...

Hey, everybody. I've already mentioned the following notes to many people: if you're an editor, you've seen the first announcement, and if you're on the community emailer, you've already seen the second one. Regardless, I wanted to keep eve...

Rest assured: a more substantial post is on the way.

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...

Since my last Sony/Amazon coupon contest was a rousing success, I figured I’d do the same thing again the next time I received a coupon for a game that I wasn’t planning on buying. Well, friends, that time is here: I just got an email from ...

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...

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...

The few of you who caught my previous post in this vein already pretty much know what I’m going to say, but I’ll introduce my situation again for the newcomers. Sony likes to send me coupons for PSP-related purchases; they seem to think I h...

As fellow c-blogger B-Radicate reported earlier, EA has extended their video game exclusivity agreement with the NFL by three years. It was originally slated to expire in 2009, but now, EA has locked up the license through 2012. Most people...

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...

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...

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 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...

I’m well aware that many Dtoiders probably have little to no interest in sports and thus don’t care about the content of this blog post. But I’m going to go ahead with it anyway. Last night, the New York Giants pulled off the third-greates...

Quantum of Solace. It’s a rather dumb name, if you ask me. According to Producer Michael G. Wilson, the title was only picked a few days ago, and it was taken from the title of a story by Ian Fleming in the collection “For Your Eyes Only”....

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...

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...

Earlier today, Dale North brought us news that Sony would be releasing a PS3 firmware update sometime this week, and that it would include support for DivX-encoded AVI files and WMV files encoded with the VC-1 codec (among a few other featu...

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...

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...

Well, ask and ye shall receive, I guess (check out the fourth comment). I’m on the mailing list for Ticketmaster and Live Nation in New York, and I just got an email yesterday about Video Games Live. After much waiting and anticipation on...

I know I’ve been talking about this for a while, but I was only able to actually accomplish it yesterday, even though I’ve had it planned out for a while. It’s the story of how I was able to get Rock Band and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune on t...

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...

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...

Yes, I know this is late, but I didn’t have internet access at home until Friday evening (we just moved), and I spent much of the rest of the weekend sleeping. Sue me. Anyway, I thought I’d relate my Black Friday story (original, I know)....

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 ...

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...

NOOOOOO! After seeing this story on IGN, an anguished yell nearly escaped my lips (one would indeed have done so, but it was just after three in the morning here on the East Coast, and I had just enough self-control to stop myself). Appare...
