It's not often that I share personal stories about my life. But as some of you already know, the past month-and-a-half has been very tough. Yet despite how awful these past weeks have been, there were also times when we could create so...

E3 is almost upon us once again, and the people are hyped. Actually they're not really all that hyped this year, but that makes for a shitty opening. Nevertheless, with rising hype come predictions! Predictions about the new Zelda, Di...

I have done it. Finally, I am become the very best, like no one ever was; Nuzlocke style. On the 10th of May at 13:45, I, Shade, age 12, was introduced into the Johto Pokémon League Hall of Fame. And with me my faithful friends...

Have you ever thought to yourself: "Wow, I wish I could get my blog frontpaged, but it wasn't about fighting games so I bet Strider-senpai won't notice me..."? Well worry no longer, because from now on I'm also going to be a Community...

As I talked about before, Pokkén is the first fighting game in a very long time that I'm genuinely enjoying. Part of that comes from the gameplay: the interesting mechanics of Phase Shifts, the simple combos and the variety of ...

  Character customization is an interesting beast, in that it allows many different people to experience many different things with a game. For example, Elsa has stated that she likes to insert herself (and her husband!) into the ...

A white whale of video games. That one game you've always been meaning to play, but never got around to. Your archnemesis, the one that got away. But what if instead of a single game that always slipped through, you had an entir...

Toward the end of last year, Amiibo celebrated their first anniversary. Between problems in the supply chain, retailer exclusives and much debate over what an Amiibo should do, there's no denying that things have been rocky. D...

December is approaching fast, and that means snow, sweets, and something about Jesus. More importantly, December means gifts! Whether you celebrate a blatantly racist holiday on December 5th or you get a visit from Santa on Christmas Eve, g...

Me oh my, what a week to be a fan of Nintendo. What a week indeed. In fact there was so much awesome stuff this week that I couldn't even fit it all in the Recaps! That's why I decided to turn the whole thing into a blog instead. This way ...

Once again I've had a pretty significant hiatus, but here we are back for the tunes. Welcome back to Bbain's Jukebox! By the time you read this, I'll probably be on my way to go see The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses. I've been...

Greetings and welcome everyone. Today, for this month's Bloggers Wanted assignment, I wish to share a special game with you. This game is without a shadow of a doubt the most terrifying game ever created. It is a tale of such great horror ...

Because VIDEOGAMES. Almost 2 years ago, I wrote a blog that was all about excitement. I was so excited about video games that I just had to write something on how excited I was about video games. Pretty darn excited, as...

Today, we learned that long-time actor Sir Christopher Lee has passed away due to heart failure on June 7th 2015. He was 93. A fine age indeed, but it's a loss nonetheless. I wasn't there during his time in the spotlight, when&nbs...

Going full Jeopardy! up in this mother. There's been a whole lot of AMA going around. That's fine, but what fun is it to wait for a question and then provide the answer afterwards? No fun at all, obviously! So I've decided to cut out t...

Or: How many double entendres can I get into one Cblog?* Well my little squidboys and squidgirls, today was certainly a day of days. We finally got our first taste of all of Splatoon's delicious juices, as the Global Testfire popped o...

This is going to be one of those blogs. Over the past months I've been debating with myself on whether or not to post it, and the draft has been sitting "Hidden" on my Blog Manager for all that time. I wouldn't normally post about my f...

Hello and welcome once again to Bbain's Jukebox! It's been an interesting couple of weeks on Destructoid what with the big lay-out overhaul and such. By now though, it seems Niero has overcome all the major obstacles, and the Cblogs ar...

I have my own thoughts on all the happenings of today, but that can wait. I'm going to sleep on it and then write my Recaps first thing in the morning. It won't be entirely pleasant, but I feel like I have to have my saw at some point....

Ladies and gentlemen, I like exploration. No, I love exploration.Exploration across prairies, in streets, in trenches, in grasslands, in frozen tundras, through deserts, on the sea, in the air, I love every act of exploration...

Hello and welcome once again to Bbain's Jukebox! Yep, I'm going to continue the tug-of-war after bbain so recklessly stole the series I had legitimately stolen from him. Farewell, songs. We hardly knew ye. Today's theme is going to be ...
