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...

It's been over three weeks now since this was announced. I'm kinda running out of things to write about it at this point but basically HYPE! Trine 3 is happening! This year even!Man, I can't even tell you how excited I am. The Tri...

It's been over two weeks now since this was announced. But you know me; once you tell me an indie game with great art direction, great music and fun mechanics is coming out, I won't stop talking about it for ages! Trine 3 is happening!...

Nintendoid does what Nintendon't. Hey, you! Yes, you. Are you tired of playing Smash Bros. by your lonesome?Are you tired of having nobody to hunt monsters with? Are you tired of seeing that your friends are online, but having no way ...

  It's been over a week now since this was announced, but holy hell am I still excited. All of the excitement, right in my pants. Trine 3 is happening! This year even!Man, I can't even tell you how excited I am. The Trine ser...

Some time ago, before bbain went Super Saiyan, there was a jukebox. And in this jukebox, there was music. Great music. Music from a wide range of different themes. Everything from music inspired by westerns to the music that plays duri...

What with Strider specifically asking me to blog more often, I felt like it was time to get off my lazy butt and start getting back in the game. Do I even have the time for this? Good lord no, but I’m doing it anyway. In fac...

Well I don't know about you, but I certainly read a wonderful bit of news just now. Trine 3 is happening! This year even!Man, I can't even tell you how excited I am. The Trine series is one of my favorites of all time. As far as i...

Just the other day, we were issued a challenge: "For Destructoid's ninth birthday, write something about the nine Dtoid members who left an impression on you."But as people quickly found out, that's harder than it sounds. Because seriously,...

   Last week, The Defenestrator put out a call for questions to our anonymous contributor The Badger. Our community members sent a cavalcade of good, inspired and/or silly questions, and The Badger posted what I will generous...

Lately we've had some people here who thought they could turn us on by listing some of their favorite fetishes in video games and otherwise. Well I think I speak for at least one person when I say that they utterly failed. I mean, spid...

(Failblog? Failblog. But oh what's that; it's Thursday doofus. So what are you going to do about it? Who caps the cappers?)

Yes my friends, it's that time again. A new popular fighting game is coming out very soon, and the hype is rising. 3DSes (or is that 3DSi?) are being pushed to their limits, minds are filled with thoughts of combat, and bodies are being rea...

When I sat down to write my Recaps a few hours ago, I realized that it has been at least a couple of weeks since I talked about what my stay in the US is like. I mean, I still really want to talk about Bravely Default as well (Weapon M...

Yesterday I had to spend almost the entire day on the train, so I figured I might as well do something productive with my time and get a head start on this week's recaps. This week was pretty special for me, so there would be plenty to talk...

Remember when we did "Because VIDEOGAMES" (here), when we all took a moment out of our days to appreciate that videogames are pretty amazing? Well, I feel like it's been way too long since then, and I'm sure we all have new things to be exc...

"Every murder has an answer" It is not every day that two visual novel gaming icons meet face to face, and it is even rarer to find a case where both icons fit well together despite their vastly different art and gameplay styles. Nonethele...

So here's a little update about me outside of my usual Thursday Shadeisms (because I like to pretend that people care). I just felt like sharing the good news without having to wait for my "turn". Also, random thought: this is the third blo...

As we approach the end of the year, we must obey the ancient video game law of coming up with our GOTY awards or risk spending an eternity in gamer hell (which I'm pretty sure is just a room with only a Virtualboy and a CD-i in it). However...

Thanks to everyone who entered my contest! We had great entries all around, and I hope the developers of The Typing of the Dead took notice of that blog, because the game would become all the more amazing if all of your brilliant words were...

Thanks to the ever generous Wrenchfarm's awesome contest I found myself with a truckload of great new games to play, because studying is for chumps. However, the awesomeness of this contest could not be contained by one Steam account alon...

Hello, my name is Shade, and I'm a Nintendo fanboy. - Hi, Shade. I love Nintendo. I love their games, their handhelds, their overall quirkiness, and yes, even their consoles. I wouldn't be a gamer today if it wasn't for Nintendo, and the...

I mentioned last week that I still had two blogs that I wanted to write in the near future. Well...this was not one of them. However, something came up a few days ago that I felt warranted this topic being done a tad earlier than planned. ...

So I figured that, after raving about how much I want this to become a real thing we do on Destructoid, I should probably do my own version of calling dibs. The very least I can do is complete the trio started by burningsoup and Pixielated....

As most if you will probably know, I don't tend to blog all that much. This is mostly due to time reasons, and because I don't always have anything interesting to say. I often write something when something specific has popped up that I wan...

This is not a blog I was planning to do, really. But holy shit does this feel awesome. If there was ever a thing I wanted to share with you guys, this is it. So, I just got mail. Normally this wouldn't be anything special, but today is di...

Hey everyone, guess who's writing again? I've been busy with my studies for quite a while, and on top of that my personal life got massively shaken up a couple of months ago. Luckily, everything is back in order, leaving me with time to wri...

The stage is set: E3 2012. It's the fifth of June, and Nintendo's press conference is about to start. They are going to nail it this year. Yesterday Microsoft once again fell flat on its face, and while Sony did well, it was nothing that ...

I've never made it a secret: I love Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda is my favorite series of all time, Mario games are quite simply the best platformers around, and while I don't like the FPS all that much I gladly made an exception for Met...

Dear members of the Destructoid community. As you may or may not recall, about one year ago you purchased your very own ShadeOfLight. The introductory blog dated from the 21st of January 2011, but the ShadeOfLight had already been active...
