'The times they are a changin'' warbled Bob Dylan way back when, and how right he was. Who knew then that his song was actually about the acquisition of our beloved Destructoid with Toronto-based company Gaming Enthusiast, That Dylan s...

Hello folks, Orochileona calling. I'm a couple of months into my stint as BRINGER OF TRUTHS (or Community Interviewer if you'd prefer) and thought I'd drop a quick blog to discuss something I've been thinking over.I work pretty dang ha...

There's been a lot of reading already regarding the minor controversy of my first Community Interview being Front Paged, And I really, really don't want to add thousands of words to it, as I am apt to do, but I have to provide some cla...

Thanks to all of you for asking your Questions. I'm gonna answer them all so I should just dive right in, as this is likely to be a pretty lengthy affair (something I'm yet to have)Heat:KoF 98 or Kof 2002?I spent an insane amount of ti...

American Laser Games, easily one of the most fantastically titled companies since time began, was a small studio based in Albuquerque, New Mexico (Y'know, that place that Bugs Bunny should have made a left turn at?) and was founded by Rober...

Welcome brothers and sisters. I had originally planned to write a series based on my time living in a turn of the century French bordello, but my memories of it are shady at best. So I have decided to make a slight detour into a simila...

I'm quite ill. I had something lined up for today, but I'm in a state, my head is full of nasty goo and just isn't functioning.Seriously, my bedroom looks like Splatoon.Instead, I thought I'd share with you all some of my pixelbead art...

Since I first watched its infamous debut trailer, which seems like an age ago, I was not a Hatred fan. Many people weren't, and I personally thought that was refreshing. As violent as videogames can be, and often are, it was comforting...
