PSA: 20% off PC Elden Ring on Green Man Gaming.

 
 

Ordered without a second thought:


 
 
 

Atlus, that's a big typo... Interesting. (PC is cut off in the screenshot)


 
 

When you get Morrowind working on your phone and now you can get attacked by Cliff Racers on the go:

 
 
 

So apparently this happened


 
 

If you have Amazon Prime, you might wanna check out Prime Gaming's free games this month. Alien Isolation, Star Wars Squadrons, Blue Fire, Ghostrunner and more. Check my comments for Alien Isolation and Star Wars Squadrons codes

 
 

Halo Infinite has a grappling hook and I love it. These previews have been fun. Swooping in with a grappling hook and then slamming the gravity hammer for two kills was just the best power fantasy I've had since kill streaks with a titan in Titanfall 2

 
 

They're already casting for Super Mario Film 2 and I'm here for it:


 
 

This can't be real. It's too hilarious. It must be April 1st.


 
 

It's been nearly 10 years and I'm still finding good, fresh videos based on Skyrim.

 
 

Honestly, I'm having buyer's remorse about getting WarioWare. I should've researched it, but I've liked every other entry that I played. But when I play as 9-Volt, I die inside.


 
 

New Vegas looks better than I remember

 
 
 

I'm that neighbor. Anyone else into jazz at all or anything quite jazzy? I'm impressed at how hard the Gundam Thunderbolt OST goes.


 
 

Been playing Psychonauts 2 & have been absolutely loving it. Rare for anything that's been waiting over 10 years for a follow up to be so good, but this game nailed it. This interview also has a great discussion on both crunch and Microsoft's helping hand

 
 

Finally got to play in a symphony orchestra again (double bass). I really missed this. What blew me away was seeing the flute players manage to play perfectly while wearing a mask.


 
 
 

Happy birthday Gaj and Kerrik.


 
 

I really was not pleased with the performance of Kingdom Hearts 3 on X1. I eventually got it on sale for PS4 after getting a PS5. I still wasn't happy with it, ha... However, I am really happy with the PC version!


 
 

I decided I'm not cancelling my Aya Neo order and the Steam Deck is still months away. I've also been testing out my Steam Controller and this thing is criminally underrated. Dragon Age & other games without gamepad support, like Oblivion, feel so good.

 
 

Early Halo Infinite impressions: Fun! Looks good. Clearly still in development, but I'm getting good performance on my laptop. Might test on my desktop later. This game might spark new discussion on KB and Mouse vs Gamepad cross play.

 
 

A story I wrote got approved for a contest, not the biggest deal, but I had to change some things to make it fit within the rules, so it's a relief. I also got an invite to try out Halo Infinite multiplayer over the weekend. It's been a decent week so far

 
 

Because I'm the "cool uncle," I brought my toolkit to see if I could fix my nephew's joy-con while babysitting. His were even worse than mine and it was on both sides. Dropped in the cardboard, recalibrated, and they're good as new. Now I'm 3-0 vs drift.


 
 
 

Haven't gotten too far in yet, but I'm enjoying Skyward Sword. Happy to finally play it. The combat and camera controls took getting used to, but so far so good. Pic unrelated.


 
 

Steam Deck and a new Stream Deck announced on the same day. Makes me wonder if Valve might change the name. Not sure if this is something Elgato would or could litigate. (Stream deck existed for a good while now)


 
 

I ordered a pricy portable PC console last week, so I am doing my best to behave after the Steam Deck announcement. Even the priciest model at $650 is a steal y'all. :'( Going to play FFXIV and ignore the butthurt. Here's my paladin:


 
 

Saw this "joy-con drift fix" video and was skeptical. However, I just tried it and it seems to work! If it spontaneously combust, I'll update y'all. As of now, however, my drift issues completely stopped. Additional info in comments.

 
 

About TurboKillone of us since 3:45 PM on 04.11.2008

I first discovered Destructoid through RetroforceGO! and their Halloween '07 episode, fell in love, finally registered in April of '08, and I have stuck around ever since.




I frequently perform professionally (or teach) around my area as a double bassist for some of my local symphony orchestras and other places that are willing to pay up.
