Hello, Communitoid! It's been awhile since I've last posted anything on the ol' Cblog, but I feel that this is something post-worthy. I've recently started my first ever Kickstarter in an attempt to improve my ongoing YouTube retro gami...

[Retrophile TV]�(Season 2/Episode 8) Milon's Secret Castle�(NES) Hudson Soft, 1986 Hey there, Communitoid! Savant here with another new episode of [Retrophile TV]. This time, I'll be tackling a childhood favorite of mine:�Milon's Secret...

Hey there, Destructoid! Savant here with two new & very special episodes of [Retrophile TV]. This time, I'm joined by a few of my close friends to play some competitive Shaq Fu (SNES) matches and enjoy some Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES) ...

Good news, everyone!�New episodes of [Retrophile TV] are here! Two new episodes of my ongoing retro-gaming series are here. Today, I take on a first-time, blind playthrough of the futuristic Genesis beat-'em-up Cyborg Justice�and a frust...

O HAI, Destructoid! Remember ol' Savant? It's been a long, long time since I've posted anything of worth here on Destructoid, but I feel that this community truly is the perfect place to share my love of 8- & 16-bit gaming. Back in Novem...

It has been a very, very long time since I've last had a chance to write a blog on Destructoid, so I find it only fitting that I reemerge writing about something that I haven't had a chance to play in many years and have recently rediscov...

Stay awhile, and listen.

(Photo taken outside The Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA) I can just imagine the ice Climbers come out the back to bring the stretcher, Dr. Mario is present for on-site care, and the dude from Excitebike is driving.

It's been quite the week. As of late, I have recently spent more time scouring eBay and bidding on things more than I ever thought I would. Within the course of just a few days, I have bought the following (with a bit of patience) dirt ch...

(VISIT THE FORUM POST - Click this!) Yeah, I know. Some of you out there right now are simply groaning at some of us here. "Please, shut up about Culdcept. You're ruining my SMASH." Well, too bad. :) This might've been something better s...

As you folks may or may not know, I recently bought a set of these little guys over at The Behemoth's online store. They used to be exclusive to the lucky few of us who get the chance to go to Cons, but as of the previous holiday, they're...

Oh, hai Communitoid! Been awhile since I've been around, I know. My apologies for being a shadow in the mist. Rest assured, I'll be back to my old self again once things cool off in my life. But, lend me your ear (or eye, as it were) for...

The above photo was taken last night using my cell phone at a local Blockbuster Video. I was there to return Clerks and rent Mallrats when I took a look at the candy aisle. Granted, I had done this many times before, but something just di...

As some of you may or may not know, I have been having a hell of a time trying to calibrate the lag with GH3. Constant tweaking, recalibrating, tweaking some more was yielding no consistent result. So, just for the hell of it, I tried pla...

In a time of need. In a time of war. In a time of poverty. America needs someone they can turn to to right the wrongs of our current El Presidente. Yes, I am indeed talking about Niero and Ron "Various Nicknames" Workman. America needs a...

Yep. I'm still screwed when it comes to fixing the lag issues with GH3 on my new set. I own two LG LCDs, and both of them have lag issues with my Elite and GH. I've run the calibrate lag tool a multitude of times, both strumming with the ...

Yep. I took the plunge and picked up a sweet 32" LCD HDTV by LG for a cool $599 at Boscov's (LINK) I was a bit worried when we first unpacked and hooked up the badboy, because the sucker's speakers were crackling. Turns out, my 360 Elit...

(LOLCats image is not in relation to below text. I just think it is funny.) I gots me a question for you, folks. We all hear in game reviews "This game is reptitive. It sux0rz." This was touched on slightly by our own Rev. Tony in his rec...

I'm sure you folks have noticed a severe lack of Miniboss Monday today. It sucks, I know. But I figured I'd take a week off and gather my thoughts for the holiday season. Here's the minor announcement -- I wanted to let those of you who ...

BlindsideDork was nice enough to answer my call for a new blog header. In fact, he was the only one to actually submit something, so he sort of wins by default. Think you can do better? I'm still accepting any further ideas/entries to this...

This past weekend, Sarah and I went to the local GameStop to look for Morrowind for the original Xbox (in the hopes of playing it on the 360.) Why would we be looking for such an old game, you ask? Well, turns out, Sarah is almost complet...

Seriously, you guys. I don't know the PhotoShops. Hell, I don't even know the Paint Shop Pros. All I know is the MSPaints. So, I am asking for your help. I've had my old banner since Topher made it for me a few months back. I'm asking ...

Okay, I know that this has been the talk of the Innernets since Guitar Hero dropped this past Sunday. Everything in Guitar Hero III goes pretty smoothly until you get up to the final boss battle with Lou. I have been trying, in vain, to ...

Dear Destructoid community, I have a few simple questions to ask you all in regard to my weekly feature, Miniboss Monday. Simply put, I am looking for your honest opinions on the feature and how it can be changed/improved. I am always lo...

Because I am.

So as some of you may recall from my impressions on the GH3 demo, I mentioned that I am playing the game on Expert using the controller (I don't own a guitar yet.) Well, I've been playing it more and more as of late and really have come i...

I downloaded the Guitar Hero III demo last night with nothing but joy tingling in my fingertips. Once I got the "Download Complete" heads-up, I dashed to the dashboard and jumped into the demo area faster than George Dubya lost his credib...

As the title explains, this is a brief post about games that never got a (fitting) sequel and deserve to have (another) one. I'm sure there are plenty of you out there who have played a game and thought "Wow! This is great! I can't wait for...

On the official developer's website for Puzzle Quest, it appears someone by the name of "Roncore" posted about the announcement that it will be out on XBLA today. I found this by accident. Here's the link. I confronted Mr. Workman; ---...

It's Wednesday, and as we all know, Puzzle Quest (and that Yaris game) are out on Xbox Live Arcade! I promptly downloaded and played a few Instant Action matches before work this morning, and I can say that this version of the game is, h...
