In which I defend the 3DS's second nub

By now, most of you have already seen the new 3DS second nub attachment (and if you haven't...look above) and most of you, (judging by the comments) have raged at the thing. Whether it be because of the look, or because of the concept, th...

 
 
 

Groundhog Day: The Advance of a Blue Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog has had a rather...mixed history. He rose to power back in the early 1990s to combat the plumbing menace, had some great platformers, had a few stumbling blocks back on the Dreamcast, and by the time SEGA dropped out of...

 
 
 
 

Teh Bias: Inside the mind of the retrogamer

In the last several years, retro gaming has resurfaced as a new movement in the industry. Starting with services like the Wii's Virtual Console, and furthered by new games like Mega Man 9 and New Super Mario Bros. and its Wii counterpart ...

 
 
 

Darksiders post-second dungeon impressions

About a week ago I picked up Darksiders from Gamestop. I realize that I'm several months late to the party, but I had heard some mixed feelings about the game and decided to wait until the price went down. Plus the game had been selling pre...

 
 
 

The Great Escape: Unfamiliar Territory

In elementary school, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Most of you are aware of ADHD. Hyperactivity and difficulty focusing were my primary symtoms. I was nuts as a kid, bouncing off walls and going crazy were common feats for me. But I was als...

 
 
 

Something about E3: The Key To Victory

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is one massive advertisement. That's not an insult, its an aspect of business. The games "journalists" go there to gain info on all the latest games, which they then show to their readers. Then they get e...

 
 
 

An open letter to Reverend Anthony Burch

In 2006, a good friend of mine showed me the Destructoid review of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Some douche-nozzle gave it a 4.0. Twilight Princess was my game of the year. This man is obviously insane. To give some context, 20...

 
 
 

E for Effort: Dead Space

Dead Space was a survival-horror game released in 2008. It received critical acclaim for its utilization of different aspects of a wide variety of previous horror games to create an experience unlike any other game. Unfortunately, despit...

 
 
 

E for Effort: Sonic Adventure

I like the music in the 3D Sonic games. There, I said it. For ages while playing Sonic Adventure for the first time, I found myself singing Open Your Heart constantly. At least until Sonic and the Secret Rings, they endeared themselves to...

 
 
 

Four years of STFUAJPG

Late 2007, I was starting in a new mechanical drawing class. Being the lazy jerk that I am, I needed websites that were not subject to my school's IP blocker. I checked out some blogs to find one that would work. Joystiq, Kombo, TheWiire, ...

If you were on the Dtoid Steam chat tonight, you might have noticed a few people mentioning a podcast. Well thanks to the very professional SPNKr, Doomsday Forte, Zeta Crossfire, Ckarasu, l0cke and my horrible, horrible voice, I am proud ...

 
 
 

How Mario can teach a lesson in Characterization.

Gaming has become varied to the point where almost any kind of experience can be replicated or adapted to interactive entertainment. We have reached the point where the medium includes space operas, war stories, and even satires involvin...

 
 
 

Love/Hate: ARGH! A ZOMBIE...meh

I enjoy survival horror. Simply put: I enjoy the thrill of having the hordes of zombies and ghoulies running after me with their mindsets focused on my destruction with just the right creepy atmosphere to keep me on my toes, pure simple. ...

 
 
 

Alba gu bra!

The lines of war have been drawn. Those cock-sure Soldier bastards think that our friendship can stand between us and victory. I didn't tackle Nessie with nothing but a jug o' booze and lose me own eye just to let us become their bloody t...
