I’m going to let you guys in on a rather public secret of mine:  I love Dark Souls.  I put about 300 hours into the game, and made quite a few concept runs - my favorite of which has to be beating the game using only a ...

Hey Destructoid.  In the 9 years...wow, 9 years, really?  Nice.  In the 9 years that I have known you, one of my favorite community blog things was always the dude who would jam out a drunen blog.  I want to say it ...

Mercenary King’s is a bullshit game made by people with their heads up their asses.  Every ten minutes there is some glaring flaw that should have been caught by someone who had half a brain.  And I’m just about d...

Depending on who you ask, 2014 was either a wonderful year or a terrible year for gaming.  My opinion?  It was awesome.  I created the list below, along with a few notes, of every game I completed during the year.  ...

This Raging Chart On actually doesn�t have much in the way of math, or charts. �Depending on how you look at it, it either has the least data or the most data for any of the series. �In any event, this focuses on the vocal minority. �The vo...

Hey, I actually had the motivation to get in on one of these while they were pseudo-relevant! 1. �I have probably been on DToid longer than you People like it when you gloat right off the bat, right? �Well, I am figuring its probably true...

During one of the Steam sales, I decided to pick up a game that had some good buzz, but I knew almost nothing about: �La Mulana. �I know it is supposed to be a hard as nails, oldschool experience, and I am totally down for that. �The only e...

In a sentence that will surprise no one, I absolutely love Dark Souls. �It is my most played game of...ever. �On PC alone, I have put in 120 hours, after putting in nearly 200 on XBox. �I know that doesn�t sound like a lot compared to peopl...

Yeah, I'm starting a blog with Fiddler on the Roof. �Don't like it? �There's the door. A lot of my previous chart ons have focused on mechanics found inside of games, but today, I decided to go into something else behind the scenes in gam...

I was going to ask a friend of mine if he thought that today�s topic would be interesting, then I remembered that interesting is highly subjective. �Many people couldn�t care less about how and why a game works than if a game is fun or not....

Today is an incredibly exciting day. �Do you know why? �Today, we get to unravel the secrets of the gaming world by looking at through a lens of analysis instead of baseless conjecture. �I have actually been very excited for quite a long ti...

Howdy everyone! �Hope you all enjoyed the holidays! Mine were, in a word, interesting. �First of all, you have to know that I live in Iowa, which is about six hours away from my original home back in Illinois, so I had quite a commute to go...

When was the last time that you snap bought a game, sight unseen. �Sure, some people buy games day 1 after tons of press release, or after enjoying the previous game in the series, but a game that just sort of stumbles out there, well...o...

As is the case with the previous blogs, I ran into a question that I had to answer by using spreadsheets, math, and prayer. �This time around, the question came up from the wonderful game Path of Exile. �In Path, you have 4 damage reduction...

I was talking out loud to myself while playing a videogame, and I had an interesting question come up, one which could only be solved by using the worst of all demons: �Math. �So let me phrase the situation for you guys...You are playing an...

So a while ago, I was browsing some site on the internet, probably pornagrophy of some sort. �I guess I must have become side tracked, because I encountered a hypothetical videogame situation: �after slaying 1000 hyperdemons, you have been ...

When I was young, I played a lot of Battletoads, and somewhere along the line my young brain mixed up The Beach Boys with Battletoads. �Seeing some weird bearded dude instead of a anthropomorphic frog just seems weird to me. �Anyway! �Pick...

It is interesting all of the things that we take for granted when we sit down and fire up a game. �You expect a game to have rules that have to be followed, controls that allow you to control your character, some kind of difficulty that you...

Not every achievement is a �good� achievement. �The first achievement that this immediately brings to mind is the one to look up Juliet�s skirt in Lollipop Chainsaw. �Similar to the act of going on a date with Pamela Handerson, the achiev...

In my next look at games that have been rotting in the oubliette of my Steam backlog, we have the last of the Borderlands 2 DLC, and the start of some Skyrim DLC! �I was incredibly happy to be done with Borderlands because there are many ga...

Welcome yet again to the backlog alphabet. �I decided to post the above screenshot to show my remaining games. �In a way it is nice to see them all fit so nicely, but I realized that I am in a bad spot coming up - I had Darksiders, Fallou...
