This is me thinking out load instead of sleeping. But I have wondered what others have thought about the following topic... I've spent the last eight years griping about my gaming backlog. I always have about a dozen games on my shelf ...

(awesome wallpaper is awesome) (Naia apologizes for the lack of Awesomely Underrated last week. She spent all last week getting ready to and finally move to a bigger apartment. She's still living in boxes.) I make it no secret that I...

Due to demand (okay Chad suggested it) I will continue giving love to underrated games that most gamers don't play but should. I skimmed through my library thinking about what game to talk about next. While the game for today isn't nece...

I've added a new segment to my blog called " Awesomely Underrated." I want to talk about games that I believe are underrated by the gaming community (at least by the vocal ones on the "intertubes"). There is one key criterion for this segme...

http://www.destructoid.com/luke-skywalker-meets-debbie-does-dallas-fox-report-on-mass-effect-is-saddening-66295.phtml I'm sure many of you in Desctructoid-land have read the article mentioned above. Perhaps you have watched a video similar...

I'm crawling out of the hole I've been hiding from, recovered from a big head cold and wanted to write about something that has been bothering me for a while. It seems like the hardcore gaming community, both readers, stores, journalists a...

I'm relaxing in my parents house in cold New England, eagerly anticipating my flight back to warm Los Angeles California. While I keep warm I take a listen to my favorite podcast ever Retroforce Go! (I swear I'm not kissing up either). I...

Since everyone else is doing it, I will give my two cents on how this year was for gaming, the biggest surprises for me, and my top games. I'm not a journalist and am limited by my cash, so I haven't played everything. I also play mostly ...

ZOMG Chirstmas!!! Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it (well it's technically after midnight where I am but whatever). I'm back in New England visiting my family in the cold Santa was exceptionally good to me this year. For s...

http://www.watercoolergames.org/archives/000868.shtml I read this on Kotaku and found it amusing and accurate in some ways but not in the ways the study suggests. The overall conclusion when they surveyed preferences in kids aged 13 and...

I've been meaning to post this for the last few weeks, but my fiancee and I decided we were going to begin a tradition of buying one new Christmas ornament each year. My parents have done that for years and have some of the cute eskimo guy...

http://www.rpgland.com/content/?p=2772 FUCK YOU SQUARE ENIX! My heart leaped out of my body for about two seconds until I saw the fucking words cell phone. I've been annoyed with your fucking milking craze the last few years with the Fin...

I've needed a few days to come up with exactly what I wanted to say in this whole situation. It's been a pretty busy week for the video game industry, at least on the journalism side. It seems that when reviews of high profile Quarte...

http://www.woodus.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9867 I'm surprised this hasn't reached the likes of places like here and Kotaku at least, but it appears in light of the release of DQIV for the DS, hackers took a look at the game to try t...

I was looking around for some gift ideas for my family while I went to a store in Culver City called Games 4 Less. They have old retro games and while most of them are duds, but I saw this little beauty in the store: I blame the RetroFo...

I came across this article on IGN, which you need Insider to see, but I will summarize: http://insider.ign.com/articles/835/835335p1.html The article takes a look at female gamers, the increase in female gamers over the past couple of yea...

It's release day of Super Mario Galaxy, I'm almost completely better from being sick (which turned out to be acute tonsillitis), and I'm now just waiting to meet up with my fiancee who pre-ordered the game to pick it up and celebrate Vetera...

I'm sick. I don't know what is causing me to be sick, but I have had a fever that has been coming and going all week, sore throat, dizziness, tiredness, the works. This illness has been draining my life away. So since I need to rest and ...

I've been out of town at a friend's wedding (okay she got married a week ago) and the trek back from the east coast to the west coast did a number on my sleep schedule. As a result I've been absent from Destructoid for a while, but I thoug...

I meant to post this last week when Nintendo had their special event, but I like many people was completely distracted by all the Mario Galaxy and Brawl videos that it slipped my mind. What got kind of buried under the radar was some new s...

I completed Blue Dragon recently and I enjoyed the game quite a bit. It's not a AAA stellar title, but I feel like it came under fire by many reviewers in an unjust manner. It does have its shortcomings, but it bugs me when reviewers faul...

Before I continue on with this blog post, let me say this: I'm a Dragon Quest Superfan. I try to keep it in check, but sometimes it gets the better of me. I am fully aware that all Squenix needs to do is take a dump in a bag, call it Dra...

I had forgotten about Mario games as of late, due to production cycles causing Nintendo to make a new Mario game only once every five or six years. I found myself not enjoying Mario games as much as I used to, but not for the typical answe...
