You had one of the first social/interactive/chill streaming channels that jumped from Justin.tv to Twitch.tv at its formation, and was a cornerstone to Twitch's early development aside from esports content. You had one of the widest vari...

You heard that we were great But now you think we're lame Since you saw the show last night You hoped that we would rock And knock it up a notch Rockin' was nowhere in sight And it's never good when it goes bad No one likes to feel ...

Some of you may recall my foray from last month into the realm of free, horror-themed downloadable games. If not, you can read it here. I've been working my way through some more, and here's what I think of the latest batch I've played. ...

You've seen the daily posts for Mash Tactics. You've seen the weekend schedule each week for the heaps of shows we have on Dtoid.tv over the weekend. You've caught Jonathan Holmes' 'Sup Holmes Interviews, or explored the Dafoeverse vicariou...

Back when it debuted in May of 2010, the first Humble Bundle presented something new and interesting, especially to those gamers out there on a budget. Serving up a fistful of indie games that were already receiving varying levels of buzz...

Decided to hop in on this name game thing, and punching my moniker into Urban Dictionary yielded some, um, interesting results. By "interesting," I mean something along the lines of "probably written by foreveralone cryhards who feel like...

A section of the latest Communitoid that touched upon people asking how to gain a higher profile in the community resonated pretty solidly with me. A lot of good points were raised, and, having been floating around here for a while, I figur...

I've discussed Slender and Slender Man's Shadow in the past, but in their wake has come a veritable onslaught of independent, free games flying a banner of "horror" and trying to get a piece of the YouTube scaredy-cat pie. In an effort to n...

This almost qualifies as NVGR, but given Red Vs Blue's basis on Halo, I figure it counts. Kinda personal, tl;dr ahead, so if you're not into that, you can find the Back button easily enough. Of all the things that have ever ended up tear-j...

(Yeah, another Halo 4 blog. At least this one isn't nearly as spoilery as my prior one, so enjoy without worry.) It goes without saying that I'm kind of a Halo fanboy. With several blogs on the series over the years, one in just the past w...

Can't untaste. All-nighter delirium kind of made the flavor even more indescribably awful, on top of making me rambly and not entirely there. If you're wondering about the logo and the background Halo-age, I did this as a (poorly-chosen) vi...

Benjamin Rivers' Home is a game that didn't see the most timely release. Rolling out, originally, at the beginning of June, Home's 2-D, low-res, sprite-based horror risked some overshadowing by the long-awaited Lone Survivor, which finall...

Though I recently ran through some of the Halloween offerings on the free-to-play scene, some wallet-friendly haunts had yet to unveil their spookier side. Now that October 31st is nearly upon us, the few stragglers out there seem to have c...

There's no doubt Christmas has come early for gamers, with a slew of excellent titles rolling out a few months ahead of the traditionally hectic holiday sales season. From solid indie outings, like the long-awaited Retro City Rampage, to t...

(Some spoilers for the story of Tokyo Jungle follow. You know, if you're actually playing for the story. Mild spoilers for other games, too, that you may actually have heard of. Just sayin'.) There have been quite the number of deranged,...

January, 2001. I remember it well. I was browsing the shelves at Funcoland, getting my hopes up with a birthday soon on the way, when some ethereal music caught my ear. Wandering over to a demo station bearing a Sega Dreamcast, a system I...

With the time of spooks and ghouls nearly upon us, there are plenty of games out there celebrating the season in their own little ways. Sure, World Of Warcraft has its Darkmoon Faire, and some console franchises such as Animal Crossing ha...

Since my earlier article discussing Slender and its spiritual progeny, the Slender Man's Shadow project, four more Slender Man's Shadow maps have seen release to the public. Having spent a decent amount of time with all of them, I figured...

While the closure of Duke Nukem Forever's epically long dev cycle kept it from applicably sharing acronyms with Did Not Finish, there's still something to be said for the fact that its initials can also be applied to be Do Not Fuckingplay...

Since its inception on the Something Awful boards back in 2009, the Slender Man mythos has been creeping its way across the internet's collective consciousness slowly but surely. With several Youtube series still in production, and more c...

Most recent amongst my gamer sins is having not played Portal 2 with any due timeliness. Thankfully, the latest Steam Summer Sale coincided with at time I actually had a few pennies to spare, and I picked up what was reportedly one of the g...

Dbumps in the Night is my weeknightly stream of scary/spooky games; here, I'll be doing complementary articles on my impressions of what I've played. I spent my evenings this past week with the five known freeware game takes on the tale ...

After being fairly impressed with the PC release of Alex Jordan’s Cute Things Dying Violently, and even having him watch as I played it on-stream, I thought I’d kick him a few questions to see what makes the man of a mass munchkin murdere...

While everyone's focused on the next round of standalone consoles, I'm already looking forward to the future of handhelds. Oh, sure, we've got Nintendo's 3DS and the PlayStation Vita already fresh on the scene, but it's not so much a new, p...

Children, and rapists. I promise this is my last bit of commentary on this issue. At least, until something more redeeming comes forth regarding the new Tomb Raider, or someone else at Crystal Dynamics says something stupid. The icing o...

With Sony's very own Smash Bros. knoc- I mean, inspired title announced and on its way in the not-too-distant future, players from across the PlayStation brand's lifespan are likely dreaming of just what characters they'd like to see in the...

Ah, the mascot/franchise-based kart racing game. Once an oft-abused staple of the cash-in side of game production, the tendency for publishers to slap their characters into a realm of zany tracks and madcap fantasy weaponry seems to have mo...

Problem is, I forgot two of them. So you get six and four. F) "Game show host" was probably the longest career goal I had as a young child My heroes growing up were Alex Trebek and J.D. Roth, and as much as I wanted to be on Video Power...

Jack your volume down if you're up for some terrible singing, as my mic sucks less than I thought and picked up at a higher level than I expected. Legit writeup coming soon, based mostly on content from the terminals in Halo 3 and Combat...

A Petition for Alternate Reviews by Destructoid Editor Jim Sterling We, the undersigned, respectfully request the consideration of the following petition. Whereas: * Video games are an interactive medium providing detailed frameworks w...
