Hello again Destructoid, your old pal "two stories" here. Yesterday I bought *Dead Rising 2, and that is pretty much all I could play for the rest of the night, until the batteries in the controller died, forcing me to begin writing again...

I was sent a link by my lovely girlfriend about Yakuza 3 this morning that I read top to bottom. I am talking that absolutely one hundred percent, hang on every word type of reading that is so difficult for someone with an attention span ...

Immediately upon realizing this guy was responsible for LJN, the worst company to ever make mainstream video games, I was ready to google this scene from a movie. I typed "munchkins" into the top bar, but as I hit the last button, I was sud...

This week I played a couple games! Godzilla Save the Earth - My personal godzilla ban has finally ended. At long last, I'm fully back into Godzilla. I've missed rubber suit monsters so much, I needed to play the games of it. Knowing ...

Okay so I'm totally stealing this idea from Tubatic. Not that I didn't do this when I was still recapping, but I want to start doing the Sunday what I'm up to with gaming/blogging post. Just like my community peer Tubatic. Except this ignor...

Are we just a pile of games? I don't know what you guys took out of it, but future front page article "have a nice day" was a very interesting read. It brought up some emotional things. Some of the dark things that I always shine on. I c...

I give up. Three words I never want to say with video games. "I give up."It's the admission that you suck. That goes beyond just using a guide or cheats, you're quitting a game. You're admitting that the money you paid to them for this game...

All this is in Japanese. This is a game from Japan! If you can remember those. I don't speak Japanese. It has subtitles and menus are English so it is more playable than the Japanese copy. For that I'm happy. I can read what people say an...

Did you import your original save from Mass Effect into the sequel? If you did, there are over 700 unique player choices and plot points carried over! Holy smokes! Armando Troisi, Bioware lead cinematic designer, during a GDC speech show...

Scyther (ストライク, Sutoraiku?, Strike in original Japanese language versions) is a mantis Pokémon. Its English name was originally going to be Stryke, as revealed in the 1999 Nintendo Official Magazine Poké...

I don't think it's boredom. That can't be the word for it. Fatigued. That's the word for how I feel with it. For those that don't know, Wolverine Origins is a great God of War-type game with Wolverine. I say God of War, but really it's Onim...

I'm tired of this happening. In a recent article on 1up, recent meaning a month ago, an editor posted about Retro Game Challenge. Shaming the reader for not buying it. Guess what cocksucker? I bought my copy brand new. And the sequel still ...

I wanted to name this would you like to know more, but I don't think it would get the idea across. As a kid playing Dragon Warrior, I was pretty lost. Especially when my Half-Brother moved back with his mom, but left me with this beast o...

I'm greeted upon starting the game with a cut scene. I forget the DS doesn't suck in cut scenes. Most games tend to look like the Nintendo 64. Sorry, they all do have that same qaulity. But upon starting I was viewing a cut scene of the s...

Early last year, we had a little game where we each listed off ten things about ourselves. It's that time of year once again, so I thought I would open up once more. Except this time take it seriously and really open up about who Joshua Hay...

Ever since I was a young boy, I must have played them all. I enjoy playing games. It's better than anything else I can think of that I want to do. This of course excludes sexual manipulation of my genitalia. That always comes first. And I...

OSG posts are ongoing articles highlighting video games from past years, from the view of Joshua Hayes. I somehow passed on Katamari Damacy. I didn't have my PS2 at the time, thanks Disc Read Errors, and I was neck deep in a old schoo...

As a kid at the local Dairy Queen they had a playchoice-10 machine. At the time I didn't know this, but being something of a gaming enthusist I've found out that nintendo released arcade units with nintendo games on them called Playchoice...

Toejam and Earl is a strange adventure game for the genesis. It was one of the major exclusives and sort of a big deal. I never got to play it in those days. It wasn't until the new mellenium when I got access to every game ever (read: a ...

River City Ransom is one of the games I wished I had got as a kid. A friend of mine had it, we would play for a bit, then get stuck. We didn't know you could wander around the city or that you get stronger buying foods. We just liked be...

Continuing where I left off, is Mega Man X. Mega Man's 8-bit adventures we're greatly, mostly, but I understand how some people would want something a little ediger. More mature. With a more fleshed out storyline and flashier effects. Ent...

AND My cousin James called me to come to his house. He had this new game, and I had to play it. Much to my surprise, this wasn't just a game. This was a gameboy game for his super gameboy. He didn't have a gameboy, everything he pla...

Remember that game Mike Tyson's Punch Out on the original Nintendo? I know I sure do. It was awesome. It has a couple sequels out there that share the same name, with no Mike Tyson. It also has a psuedo sequel called "Power Punch 2." It w...

I make the mistake and read letter columns. In comic books, in magazines, and even in internet media when they respond to e-mail, I always love seeing how people respond to letters. It's fascinating to me. Here they are, these learned pro...

Let's be honest here, admitting I suck is difficult. As one of "those" types, I can't admit that. You know those types? That know everything. That could point out Threads of Fate or Power Pigs. Maybe not at first, but you show me a screen...

You're a quitter. And I am too. I will not apologize for picking random photographs for this. I quit playing two games recently, I never want to play either of them ever again for any reason. No amount of imaginary achivement points or ...

both love and hate the blogosphere. Gaming "community" blogs are the only ones I go to. It has some pros and cons. I certainly enjoy the video game blogs more than the usual sites. Gamespot and IGN are bullshit compared to even the small...

Needless to say this goes into the spoiling: Suikoden, Disgaea, Knights of Republic, Mass Effect, Spider-man Web of whatever, Marvel Alliance 2. And Werewolf Last Warrior. I mention Fable and Bioshock too. The new call of duty. I swear,...

For those that don't know, Yakuza is essentially River City Ransom 3D. That might be a bit silly and reviewerish of me, but that's instantly what I got from playing it. It's no where near as popular as it should be. Considering how amazin...

I prefer to own. I don't know why. Despite my love of emulation, and I love it, I want a game in my hands. A real game. That's why I always feel stupid buying digital games. I can't loan it out. I can't re-sell it. But I can still lose it a...
