Look I drink…
and this results in a lot of apologies. Be it to a Catholic Bishop, AOL, or the shopping cart I "allegedly" molested at Wal-Mart. But, I have never ever apologized with a bag of marijuana cigarettes. Beware. The story below cannot be unread. It is also not safe for children as it talks about […]

Weekend Reading: Zombies! Enemy design in games
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Zombies aren’t an integral part of video games, but dammit, they should be. Sparked by watching Resident Evil: Extinction, I began to think about enemies in video games. Mostly the run of the mill types: zombies, henchmen, soldiers, etc. There will sometimes be a shift in how these enemies act. Suddenly, they’ll go from being […]

New Seaman 2 video: Man-faced fish-birds and cavemen on cell phones aplenty
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I was expecting most things relating to the sequel to Sega’s Dreamcast pet simulator to be pretty weird, but after watching this Japanese gameplay overview, I’m less dazed and confused and more disturbed and utterly confounded. For a start, the whole thing is narrated by a hideous mutation of the original game’s fish-man character, who’s […]

Well this certainly has been an amazing week at Destructoid, hasn’t it? A videogame blog is in a videogame. Who would have ever dreamed? Destructoid has also invaded the Tokyo Game Show this year and we’re doing an excellent jump at scaring the locals. I’ve also amassed the entire collection of Destructoid wallpapers in one […]

Inside The Fiendish Zelda Economy
Category: Wii | Leave a Comment
Game developer Brett Douville has updated his Brett’s Footnotes blog with an intriguing chat/rant about Zelda’s money system, particularly in Twilight Princess for Wii, which he thinks is, well, broken in terms of money management and its related fetch quests, to say the least.
Douville’s overall argument starts by noting: “You are frequently maxed out […]
