Hello, Destructoid! It's that wonderful time of the week! It's Friday! This week I'm going to my wee cousin's birthday, and while I prefer to keep away from children's parties, this one is going to be on a kind of little farm, so it m...

My trips to Rapture

The first time I played BioShock 1 and 2 was years ago, on the Xbox 360. At the time, I remember enjoying the first game quite a lot, but not having the same warm feelings towards the second. In this convoluted year of 2022, I had an u...

Tea & Games - Sea of Solitude

Hello, folks! Wow, it's been a while since I last wrote a blog. And, you might be rightfully wondering, "What the heck is 'Tea & Games'?" That's a good question. The thing is I didn't feel like writing a formal review or ...
