A basic feature of the human condition is that humans at their basic level have been conditioned to act human. Every once in a while rogue trendsetters break out from the pack in a way that only renegade lone wolves can, daring to give in t...

Like many other gamers, I’ve recently jumped back in with an addictive action-RPG series. Unlike many other gamers, the game in question isn’t Dark Souls 2, but rather the Fable games. Hey, they’re addictive to me anyways. I loved the first...

For a while now I've credited playing kart racers when I was younger (Super Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing in particular) with making me have good winter driving skills. Sliding around on ice behind the wheel of a go-kart in the Mushroom ...

So it's not really from a video game, but rather based on a cartoon based on a video game. You all remember how much Sonic and Tails loved eating chili dogs in the goofier of their '90s cartoons, yeah? Like the Ninja Turtles and their pi...

So it's been three years since I posted this when we last did the "10 Things" bit all over the cblogs. It's come back and this makes me happy, though I honestly had trouble coming up with ten new things to post. Here goes, bear with me: ...

Posted this in the Forums over the weekend, but since Randy is posting his here as well I figured I could be a whore too. ;)

Think of the days before idle animation, where our platforming heroes did absolutely nothing unless we told them to via button presses. Set your controller down and Mario would just stand there not moving a pixel as a Koopa Troopa walks tow...

I was digging through old notes and sketches this past week and came across a short list of games I was at one point looking forward to, excluding handhelds. Comparing it to release dates on Wikipedia I've figured that at the latest the lis...

As any true bro knows, there's trouble in brorum paradise. I'm sure you've seen the comics and micro-games. If you haven't, go check out the other Forum Adventures blogs. I'm not here to rehash the rivalry, I'm here to show show you how it ...

Love, ZombiePlatypus Also, cocks.

So here goes my entry for Aborto’s Comic-Con swag contest, because I could really use a Deadpool magnet, among other things. Top spot goes to Deadpool. Not only is he my favorite comic character, but he’d really be great in a fighting ...

BLAINO Thinking back on the various game bosses that have troubled me a handful immediately sprung to mind, but only one really stood out, Blaino. He may not be the best choice for this particular subject since he's not an out and out ...

I wasn't at my house for the majority of yesterday, and as such my internet time was greatly limited. Anyways, I figured that I didn't want to be the only one on Dtoid without one of these, so here goes. 1 I was born in a supposedly haunte...

So with the official announcement of the Fable 2 Pub Games and the limited edition set and all that I started perusing the Lionhead site again. There in the forums I found a link to a fan news site called "loinhead", and the oddly believabl...

Yep, I'm getting in on it... So, what say you?

I really can’t say with 100% certainty what my first game was, though like the good Reverend and many others I had much fun early on stomping goombas and zapping ducks with the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt combo cartridge. It may have be...

I downloaded the Virtual Console port of Splatterhouse the day it was available, played it for a bit and didn’t get too far before starting up something else and more or less forgetting about it completely. I came back to it for this m...

Crackdown tried to ruin GTA for me. It hasn’t worked, but as I played Rockstar’s latest epic last night I couldn’t help but think of Crackdown. The first thing that got me was the blocking of the bridge. I couldn’t drive through due to co...

So I was going to do this as a Gaming’s Guilty Pleasures C-blog, I’d actually been planning it for a week and a half or so. Then as I was typing this up I realized this wouldn’t fit the theme. This isn’t a “guilty” pleasure for me, it’s jus...

Original ad, circa 1986. It’s threat remains unfortunately accurate to this day. I never played Kid Icarus back in the day. None of my friends or myself owned it, and I don’t recall ever seeing it at the video store, so it was never rent...

Here goes my non Turning Point rig, a Gateway something-or-other laptop I bought a couple years back when I got my first decent paying job. Just so's ya know, this is my sole computer, nothing else in my pad. What's that? It's sure as...

So after spending Friday night and most of Saturday at my youngest brother's adapted hockey tournament, and Sunday afternoon/early evening at my grandfather's 80th brithday party, I got home yesterday and played a bit of Brawl. A few online...

So I'm playing Subspace Emissary and at the end of a stage see that I've unlocked a Zoda trophy. I get all kinds of happy, thinking this is Nintendo finally giving a little respect to StarTropics. Mike's not a playable, not an assist, but m...

So I don't play too much Halo 3 anymore. Once or twice a month, and then only when one of my brothers is over or is online and really wants to. Anyways, I understand that it's a known fact that a lot of us that play Halo 3 are idiots and/or...

Just kidding, I don't speak French. Yeah... Howdy, I’m ZombiePlatypus, real name = Levi. I’m a 23 year old from Virginia Beach, VA living in Minnesota. I first heard of this place last year through the BomberMan Live stuff and began checki...
