A decade later [Author’s note: This is a community blog I wrote almost eight years ago. With only days away from the release ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, and only a week away from our ninth wedding anniversary, it seemed fitting to revisit this story, with years and dates updated.] Almost ten years ago, I asked a special woman to spend the rest of her life with me. This is the story of it all....

There’s a pre-order bonus that serves as a proper introduction to this series.

I like this one Slowly but surely,Pokemon Gois getting features. They might not begoodones, but they’re a start. This one that deals with gyms however, is definitely good. Niantic has revealed that an upcoming patch will specifically alter the way gyms work in the game, which is a two-fold process. Firstly, you can bring six Pokemon (instead of the weird solo requirement) into a training fight to help boost up your gym level....

Still day-and-date with paper Magic Onboarding people intoMagic: The Gatheringis one of the easiest things I’ve ever done. I always try to tell them that there’s caveats depending on the type of mode you play (some are super cheap, some are super…not), but as a general rule it’s very easy to teach people how to playMagic. That’s somethingArena, theHearthstone-esqueMagicclient that’s currently in beta right now, needs to do better. While having a player at the ready to answer whatever burning questions you may have is an invaluable resource to push someone along when they hit snags, a card game without a tutorial is a little less forgiving....

Android has a new best roguelike We all seem to love mobile rogue-liteDownwellhere at Destructoid, what with it getting both a 10/10 score inSteven’s reviewandwinning ourmobile game of the year award. It’s just a shame that up to now it’s been an iOS exclusive on mobile devices, which means everybody on Android phones has been left out in the cold. Fortunately, developer Moppin has unceremoniously announced on Twitter thatDownwellwill finally be heading to Android devices today (January 27)....
Younger Rig The moment of truth is upon us, as developer FromSoftware hasofficially releasedthe PC specifications required in order to play its insanely anticipated adventure title,Elden Ring. The hugely hyped fantasy RPG will finally be let loose on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms on February 25. It should come as little surprise to anybody that the visually splendid title requires something of a pretty hefty powerbase in order to get it up-and-running, let alone operate in all of its regal glory....
Waiting forJourney’ssoundtrack release on June 29, 2025 is like waiting for the game itself all over again. I am incredibly excited and can’t wait! I not only had a great time playing throughJourney, no doubt thanks to my steadfast companion who stuck with me through the entire experience, but I loved the dynamic range of the soundtrack and how it swelled to highlight several key moments in the game. We reached out toAustin Wintoryas soon as we knew he was working on the title, and we thought it would be a good time with the soundtrack release on the horizon to have him explain in his own words how he went about creating the score and how the individual pieces take you through the journey that unfolds on the screen....
