They finally decided to put a ring on it! Today is my first day as a full-time staff writer at Destructoid. You'll be seeing a lot more of me on the FP.

I've come a long way from being too shy to post in the comments to writing about Donkey Kong's ass on the front page.

Hot take: the Metal Max series is better than Fallout. To illustrate this, here's my review of Metal Max 2: Reloaded. Really, it's just a barely-concealed love letter.

Current status:

I wonder how Diane from Beef Head Video is doing these days...

Workin' real hard to make internet cash can be very difficult with the self-worth issues that I have. With all sincerity, I want you to know how much I appreciate you substituting for my confidence. Seriously, you folks keep me going.

What do you think? Should I start using this CRT filter on all my retro screenshots?

I just met you, And this is craaazy, But I'm so hungry. Please, feed me gravy.

Was Wolfenstein: The Old Blood the first game I (re)finished in 2023? I can't remember, so it's nice to see my memory fog followed me into the new year.

I set up one of those Ko-Fi things here. I'm not going to push it, but if you like what I do but would prefer that I do it with, like, a gyro or shawarma wrap in my hand, then this is where you can make it happen.

Well, another solid calendar year of writing for Destructoid is coming to an end. I managed to avoid self-destructing... Uh, you know what, that's enough of an accomplishment. Awesome job, me. Do that again next year.

I finished Cyberpunk 2077. You probably already have an opinion about it and don't need mine, but if you want it anyway, here it is.

I play games.

Merry White-ass Christmas from Destructoid’s ice world!

Wh... What?

I've been an ardent fan of the Castlevania series for over a decade now, but I've just completed Rondo of Blood for the first time. With Richter. And somehow I defeated Dracula on my first attempt. Not my favorite in the series, but is great in many ways.

I upgraded my GPU earlier this year, so I didn't play on Switch as much. The Atelier thing is like an annual trend, though.

I lasted 43 hours before I was so bored with Ghost of Tsushima I couldn't go on.

DBT therapy is absolutely kicking my ass. It feels like any relief is taking forever. So, here's my favorite track from one of the best Super Nintendo soundtracks.

Thought I should mention that a game I covered the other week, He Fucked the Girl Out of Me, won its category at IDFA (Digital Storytelling). I already gave my thoughts in my article, but suffice it to say it's well-deserved.

Hot off the Game Complaint Department is a review for a game that most of you have probably already played. It's Star Fox

My dad has worked at our family lumberyard since before I was born. Someone left this Google review referencing their encounter with him and how it destroyed their existence.

I think I made Eric really sad when I told him I didn't enjoy Signalis as much as he did. There is one very specific reason for this, which you can learn about in my GCD review of it.

I guess I haven't had enough to review this month, so I reviewed Bear and Breakfast for the Game Complaint Department. Stay tuned today for a Destructoid review of a different game.

Okay, which one of you was it?
