Hey Destructoid! Remember me? It's me, Tonich. What? Doesn't ring a bell? Okay, how about "That crazy Russian who used to blog here a year or two ago and posted some music"? Yeah, that's me alright. :) I know it's been quite a while since ...

Hello my dear friends and fellow Dtioders! Here I am again, sharing my music with you, just like I did a few months ago. This time, however, it's going to be much more personal - for two main reasons. First, there'll be no band to...

The Ballad of Battle Bunnies            Or maybe it’s The Ferocious Fighting Furries Fable. Whatever you call it, Dust: An Elysian Tail combines the plushiness of anime-style anthropom...

  Now, now, don’t get me wrong. I firmly believe games ARE art, and nobody will ever convince me otherwise. Besides the fact that even technically games comprise different forms of art -- i.e. cinema/animation, music, litera...

         Hi everyone! It’s been quite a while since my last blog, so I thought I’d better write something before you guys forget who I am. :)        ...

Hello, my friends and fellow Dtoiders!  It's not often that I use the c-blogs for personal gain, but I've been planning on writing this for quite some time. Anyway, this won't take too long. For those of you who are new to this bl...

         Fangs for the Memories? Seriously? Ah, what am I saying – it’s Halloween, how can there be anything serious about it? :)          I love Halloween &n...

Lately, I’ve been noticing that quite a lot of stories in AAA blockbuster games of the past few years play out in almost exactly the same way. Sure, there’s no way of avoiding at least a couple of clichés in stories ...

Yes, that's right. I did it. I killed off my uncle and mother-in-law just to be able to enjoy a video game. While they were around I just couldn't concentrate and have fun - not with them constantly bugging me, saying they're cold and hu...

As far as I can gather, the concept of an antihero has become quite popular in the past decade or so, especially in videogames. Characters ranging from a young delinquent to a (classic) honorable outlaw to a murdering sociopath have made th...

So, there's a new trend going on with top ten games list, and while I was initially reluctant (rather: lazy) to write one and thought of just leaving a comment in the corresponding blog, I finally decided that I wanted my write-up to stay i...

Oh, hey, it's been nearly a month since my last blog, so I've got to write something, right? :)  You know, sometimes I can’t help thinking that I’m special. One of a kind. No, no, it’s got nothing to do with megalomania (or at least I hope...

I remember how everyone was hyped when the now notorious tech demo of Final Fantasy VII intro remade on PS3 engine was shown. After all, I myself was hyped, too! I doubt there's any Final Fantasy Fan out there who's never seen this video...

We all love a good video game swordfight, don’t we?  …Okay, some of us prefer gunfights. So what! Eh? Brawlers? Yeah, I guess some people love brawlers better. And then there are those weird folks who stand against violence in video games…...

aka That Crazy Russian Who's Spamming Russia-Related Comments. :)) Actually, I've just published a cblog but I just can't help participating. So here we go! 1. Nice to meet you! Here I am. 29, and I still play in a rock band (if you're i...

Hi everyone! After finishing my "Gamer in Provincial Russia" trilogy I've decided to post some of my video game related thoughts here. Hope you find them interesting! First off, let me confess: I have never written a video game review. Per...

The Saga Continues! Greetings again, ye noble Destructoid readers! This is my third and – at least for now – final entry in the Epic Tale of Struggle and Suffering of a Lone Gamer in the Land of Bears and Vodka… Okay, okay, that was an e...

Hello again! I am continuing to discuss the topic of gaming in provincial Russia that I’ve started in my previous blog. Now that we’ve learned that gamers here suffer from different forms of prejudice and social disdain, as well as difficul...

Greetings! Hi everyone! This is my first blog post on Destructoid but it's one that I have been meaning to write for quite some time. Hope that at least someone finds it interesting or informative. I live in a rather large city in Central R...
