Review: Magic the Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers
Nearly sixteen years ago, Wizards of the Coast unleashed the first set of Magic: The Gathering cards upon an unassuming public. Originally designed to be a portable and easily accessible game that could be played during downtime at gaming conventions, Magic's simple rules and intuitive, fantasy-inspired cards caught on with the general public and birthed the highly successful collectible card game genre. However, over the last decade and a half, thousands of new cards and two major rule revisions turned the previously simple card game into a complex and often unforgiving hobby.
Concerned with dwindling numbers of new Magic players as a result of ever-increasing barriers to entry, Wizards of the Coast announced that July 2009 would see the release of Magic 2010 -- the first major rewrite of Magic's core rules in nearly ten years and the first core set to introduce new cards since 1993's Alpha and Beta series. Not surprisingly, Xbox Live Arcade's
Duels of the Planeswalkers
is a significant piece of Wizard's efforts to recapture the imagination of the mass market and introduce both new and old players to the Magic 2010 rule set.
Duels of the Planeswalkers
is an engaging, albeit flawed, implementation of the classic card game. Combining the changes of Magic 2010 with a few changes unique to the Live Arcade title -- no mana pooling, shared priority, and elimination of formal stack rules to name but a few,
Duels of the Planeswalkers
delivers a streamlined Magic experience that
like a video game while still maintaining the deep strategic experience that players have come to expect.
Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers
(Xbox 360 - XBLA)
Developer: Stainless Games
Publisher: Wizards of the Coast
Released: June 17, 2009
MSRP: 800 Microsoft Points ($10.00)
In order to help players become accustomed to playing Magic on a console with a new set of rules, Stainless Games packed
Duels of the Planeswalkers
with numerous modes targeted at teaching and reinforcing the core rules of the game. In addition to the standard tutorial mode,
Duels of the Planeswalkers
features two interesting and unexpected modes that greatly improve retention and understanding of how Magic is played.
The first of these modes is the Mentor mode, which allows experienced players to be matched up with new players in online mentoring sessions. While much can be learned from the tutorials, there is really nothing like learning Magic interactively with an experienced player. Stainless Games, obviously cognizant of this fact, was wise to include mentoring via Live in the final product.
Another unexpected and enjoyable aspect of
Duels of the Planeswalkers
is the Challenge mode. For those unfamiliar with the
magazine challenge puzzles from the 1990s (upon which the Challenge mode is based), the game presents you with a number of scenarios and then asks you to figure out how to kill your opponent in a single turn. While enjoyable in their own right, the challenges are also an excellent tool for players that have just completed the tutorial to test their knowledge of the game's more complex rules. While none are insurmountable, there is one puzzle in particular that may initially prove challenging to even veteran players. Overall, the challenge mode is a really successful addition, although I would have liked to see more than eight puzzles. Hopefully we can expect more in future content packs.
Once the basics of Magic have been learned, players are most likely to turn to the campaign mode, which allows players to challenge computerized opponents before stepping into the wilds of online play. The campaign mode is surprisingly robust. While a mere 16 battles long, the campaign mode offers 130 unlockable cards, a wealth of customization options, and a more difficult campaign mode that keeps additional playthroughs fresh.
The game's AI is surprisingly good, if a bit quirky. With a game as complex as Magic, getting an AI to even feign competency is difficult; however, Patrick Buckland of Stainless Games seems to have crafted the best AI to ever appear in a Magic game, an admittedly minor accomplishment. The
AI can be set to three different difficulties -- Mage, Archmage, and Planeswalker -- and while the AI's skill is noticeably different at each level, the biggest change seems to come from the fact that the easier difficulties stack the bottom of the AI player's deck with the more annoying or game-changing cards. While competent and sometimes challenging, the game's AI also falls victim to a number of quirks. For instance, the AI is often so concerned with losing a creature that you can bring combat to an absolute standstill by casting
on one of its creatures. As a test, I was able to use this technique and then pass through 26 turns without playing a card, eventually decking my opponent. Small quirks like this give you a look under the hood of the game's engine, but should be easily repairable in future updates.
In addition to a fairly competent AI,
Duels of the Planeswalkers
features a really gorgeous interface. The playing field is crisp and does not distract from what is going on in the game, while a number of visual cues -- translucent arrows, sparks, fogs, etc. -- clearly indicate how the cards in play interact with one another. Additionally, the cards look beautiful when fully zoomed in (simply highlight a card and push the right trigger) and remain easily distinguishable while on the playing field. Without a doubt, this is the prettiest of Magic's numerous digital translations and provides a wonderful look at the artwork that cannot even be fully appreciated on the standard playing cards. My only complaint about the user interface is that there is no indication of how many lands are on the table. While this is not a problem in the early stages of the game, it becomes cumbersome to try and count how many of each land type are in play during the late game.
Online play is much like the campaign mode, but conducted against a live opponent. While I did not have a chance to try vocal communication (my headset is currently broken), I did have the opportunity to unwittingly test the Vision camera functionality. I say unwittingly because I did not initially know that
Duels of the Planeswalkers
supported the Vision camera. As a result, it was not until I had completed 5 or 6 matches online that I realized I was broadcasting live video of me laying in bed next to my sleeping girlfriend playing Magic at 2 o'clock in the morning. Learn from my mistake:
Remember to unplug your camera or head over to the options menu before playing this game online.
Online connectivity was good. I was able to quickly find matches and never experienced any lag or connection loss. However, I did have a few opponents quit the game right before I dealt the killing blow. While the game does not display a win/loss ratio, a quick message to a contact at Wizards of the Coast assured me that the game records a loss against players that quit early.
In addition to the standard 2-player online game,
Duels of the Planeswalkers
also includes both three and four player games as well as Two Headed Giant (known to non-nerds as 2 v. 2). My 3-player experiences were good. As any two players may choose to team up on the third, 3-player Magic has never been a highly competitive game, but it was a refreshing change from the standard fare. My Two Headed Giant experience, on the other hand, was abysmal. Two Headed Giant, like the Co-op Campaign, are the only two aspects of
Duels of the Planeswalkers
that I did not complete in my 35+ hours of playtime. The reason I was unable to enjoy these modes is that they do not support co-operative play over Xbox Live. If you wish to play co-op campaign or a 2 v. 2 multiplayer game, both you and your teammate must be playing on the same Xbox. I understand that strategy and communication are important aspects of team play in Magic, but with Xbox Live's integrated voice and video chat, there should be no need to restrict players from playing with friends online. While I am not hopeful that online co-op will ever be introduced, it would be a welcome addition.
Despite my general enjoyment of
Duels of the Planeswalkers
, the game also leaves quite a few things to complain about. For starters, the deck editing features are inexcusably restricted. I understand that Wizards wants
Duels of the Planeswalkers
to be accessible to players of all skill levels and that fully customized decks may ruin the experience for new players equipped with only the base cards. However, I cannot understand why
Duels of the Planeswalkers
does not allow you to at least remove cards from your deck.
For those unfamiliar, Magic requires players to build decks with a minimum of 60 cards. In order to prevent new players from having to learn deck building mechanics,
Duels of the Planeswalkers
starts each player off with several 60-card decks and allows players to unlock an additional 15-17 cards per deck (15 cards for multicolor decks and 17 cards for monochromatic decks), which can then be inserted into the original 60-card deck. However, while cards may be added to the decks, none may be removed from the core 60 cards. While this provides a basic level of customizability, it also makes the decks land-heavy at 60 cards and unreliable at 75-77 cards. As a result, numerous online games come down to holding off your opponent and taking turn after turn drawing land or other useless cards until one player finds a "kill card." While playing with preconstructed decks significantly lengthens the average game from the 4 and 5 turn maximums often imposed by fine-tuned decks, many veteran Magic players will be extremely disappointed with the lack of customizability.
My final complaint involves a number of technical bugs present in
Duels of the Planeswalkers
. While some players have reported occasional freezing (I have yet to experience this), the more annoying technical quirks result from cards not working quite right. For instance, the already powerful
(a 6/6 creature that automatically destroys any creature that deals damage to you) becomes downright ludicrous when the game misinterprets its ability and allows it to automatically destroy
card that deals damage to you. There are a number of other minor problems with card abilities, but Dread is undoubtedly the worst of the bunch. As of this morning, Stainless Games delivered the first update to
Duels of the Planeswalkers
in order to address some of these technical issues. While I have not yet had the chance to try to recreate the Dread glitch, Stainless Games's quick response leaves me optimistic about the game's long-term stability.
Despite a number of quirks, there is a lot to love about
Duels of the Planeswalkers
. For a mere 800 Microsoft points,
Duels of the Planeswalkers
offers up 8 preconstructed decks of 60 cards (with an additional 130 unlockable cards), a full tutorial, a campaign mode, 8
magazine-style challenges, an online Mentor mode, and numerous options for competitive online play. After 35+ hours of play,
Duels of the Planeswalkers
is still an engaging and rewarding experience and the prompt support being provided by both Wizards of the Coast and Stainless Games makes me very optimistic about the future of this game. As it stands now,
Duels of the Planeswalkers
is easily the cheapest and user friendliest way to get involved with Magic and provides a nearly perfect experience for those who want to relax and play Magic from their couch. For die hard Magic players that demand a more robust card catalog and deck editing options, Wizards of the Coast offers
Magic The Gathering Online
, which is significantly less accessible and far more expensive to play.
If you have any interest in trying Magic for the first time or if you're an old player that just wants an inexpensive way to jump back into the game, I cannot recommend
Duels of the Planeswalkers
highly enough. While the numerous glitches present at launch prevent me from giving this game a higher score, it remains an easy recommendation for anyone interested in the collectible card game genre or looking for a great value in their Live Arcade titles. At the very least, your $10 investment into
Duels of the Planeswalkers
will net you a promo code redeemable for a foil rare card and 30-card deck from wizards.com.
7.5 -- Good
(7s are solid games that definitely have an audience. Might lack replay value, could be too short or there are some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.)

How Jim Sterling is Single-Handedly Ruining Games Journalism
For those that are slow to read the entire Internet, Destructoid's own
Jim Sterling
has caused quite a bit of chaos on the 'tubes. First, PLAYSTATION Universe was
forced to rebut
Mr. Sterling's
crude generalizations and haughty misstatements
regarding PS3's trophy system. Then, mere hours later, GamePolitics was forced to
take Mr. Sterling to task
for his
libelous statements
regarding the journalistic integrity of Mr. Dennis McCauley.
I could not just read these stories and allow Mr. Sterling's reign of terror to continue. So, in the next few paragraphs, I will attempt to explain why Jim Sterling is quite possibly the worst thing to ever happen to video game journalism.
1. Jim Sterling is Fat
And not just a little fat. Jim Sterling is fat to the point of mental infirmity.
Fat people are stupid. This is a
scientific fact
. As all physically fit people are aware, fat people are incapable of making any sort of positive contribution to society because they are infected with a severe brain fever that I refer to as "mental fatness." In its most mild forms, mental fatness leads to uncontrollable heavy breathing and perpetual jolliness. However, with individuals as large as Mr. Sterling, mental fatness often leads to extreme cynicism and the inability to publicly express any sort of valid opinion. For example, on November 4, 2008 Mr. Sterling made an
absurdly sarcastic post
trivializing the importance of electing our
Lord and Savior
, Barack Obama. Fortunately, within 10 comments,
was able to point out Jim's inability to appreciate the importance of American politics due to his mental fatness: "oh my fucking god jim you are such an arrogant hypocritical fat fucker it sickens me ... go back to being insignificant and get bent, douche[.]"
Thankfully, LordGloom realized that attacking Jim for being fat does not constitute a pointless ad hominem attack. Instead, it underscores the inherent flaw in all commentary offered by Mr. Fatty-Butt Sterling: He knows fuck all about everything because of an accumulation of fat in his meaty, Fils-Aime-like head. The Internet could use more heroes like LordGloom.
2. Jim Sterling Likes
Dynasty Warriors
It's no secret that Jim Sterling enjoys
anything emblazoned with the
Dynasty Warriors
. While his uniform praise for the series makes sense on one level--every game is identical, it is absurd on another--each game sucks nuts. As everyone on the Internet knows, enjoying a
Dynasty Warriors
game completely negates your ability to accurately form critical opinions of all other games, as observed by many illustrious community members:
"Everything is rubbish, isn't it Jim? Unless it's a dynasty warriors mash-a-thon . . . er, I mean, strategic action game." -
The Stripe
"I love how he gave Dynasty Warriors 6 a better score [than Patapon]." -
Clearly, Jim's appointment to the position of Reviews Editor is the greatest sham in Internet history. His insufferably biased opinions are not only made available to the Destructoid audience, but are also allowed to influence the infinitely important and incredibly prestigious Metacritic scores. As everyone knows, Metacritic is serious business. Stop making it a mockery, Jim.
3. Jim Sterling Sucks at Video Games
As once
pointed out by Magesx
, Jim's opinions on individual games are typically skewed because he "just suck[s] at the game." I mean, honestly, he didn't even
Halo Wars
before reviewing it. Why? Because he sucks at games and doesn't understand them.
I'm surprised Jim is even able to peck out the tripe he calls journalism with the big, meaty sausage rods he calls fingers. You would think a guy who is both physically and mentally incapable of performing even the most simple in-game actions would know better than to try to operate hyper-sophisticated modern instruments like the keyboard. It is no wonder that he prefers the simplicity of
Dynasty Warriors
, as being able to mash a thumbstick and slam his giant ham-fist on the X button is all that is required.
The above post is merely a brief, non-exhaustive list of some of Jim's numerous character flaws. I encourage all Destructoid readers to view Jim's posts carefully and help me divine the numerous threats posed by this notoriously devious man.
Also, moronicle.

Manly Game Mondays #2: Madden NFL [Now with 100% more Samit Sarkar]
Every so often, a game comes along that is so wet with manliness that it could impregnate your girlfriend. It's the type of game that can force you to grow hair on your palms just from touching the controller. Forget electricity, these games run on gasoline, whisky, and broken dreams. These games chew up glass, mix it with blood, and spit it straight into your eyes. So--put on some goggles--it's Manly Game Monday.
Madden NFL Series
Anything with buttons
1988 - ?
In 1988, development began on the first
John Madden Football
with a clear ultimatum from the Legend himself: "I'm not putting my name on it if it's not real." Ignoring the inherent contradiction of insisting that a simulation be "real,"
Madden NFL
has become the closest thing to real football that a 400 lb man can play from the comfort of his couch, office or toilet. Honestly, what's manlier than that?
Madden NFL
seems like a strange choice for
Manly Game Mondays
because it lacks the requisite substance abuse, blood geysers and/or gratuitous tit shots required for a 10/10 rating. Hell, with the jacked-up steroid fiends and late hits of the
is arguably not even the manliest football series to grace video game consoles. However, to dismiss
with nonchalance is to overlook it's manliest achievement: It appeals to every red-blooded man's base desire to conform with the men around him.
Men, truly manly men, have a subliminal need to be accepted by other manly men as one of "the group." Like our prehistoric ancestors, manly men move in packs, fight male "outsiders," and aren't afraid to club a bitch or two. It is no coincidence that fraternity houses--modern hotbeds of manly activity--are known for manly bonding, drunken brawls, rampant sexism, and
Madden NFL
. While one may argue that this relationship is merely coincidental, pseudo-scientific charts lend credibility to this assertion:
As you can clearly see, as the number of men in a group increase, the amount of
playing increases at a rate that outpaces manly bonding, drunken brawls, and date rape. Truly shocking results. However, if mere
statistical research is not enough for you, here is a personal anecdote:
As a child, my proclivity for competitive gaming was apparent. Notwithstanding the rather mundane rules of most single player games, I would constantly concoct elaborate competitive scenarios. Soon, my competitive rulesets extended beyond the mere walls of my home and became mainstays in the homes of neighbors and friends. Entire suburban blocks forwent ever conquering Dr. Wlly's castle and, instead, focused on challenging friends to obtain the highest score possible in
Mega Man 2
using an elaborate scorecard of my own design.
Early competitions were heavily weighted in my favor, but the skill levels of neighboring children began to normalize and near my own. When this happened, it was not beyond me to design new rules that weighted play in my favor. As a result, I was able to establish NES dominance over my entire neighborhood.
As time went on, console games began to focus more on competitive play. My rulesets were no longer needed and we turned to games like
with their built-in competitive play instead. While we never played any
games, Samit Sarkar did and he's a true man's man.
If that story doesn't convince you, I don't know what will. Verdict:

Manly Game Mondays #1: The Combatribes
Every so often, a game comes along that is so wet with manliness that it could impregnate your girlfriend. It's the type of game that can force you to grow hair on your palms just from touching the controller. Forget electricity, these games run on gasoline, whisky, and broken dreams. These games chew up glass, mix it with blood, and spit it straight into your eyes. So--put on some goggles--it's Manly Game Monday.
The Combatribes
Technos Japan Corp.
If history has taught us anything, it's that there is nothing manlier than huge upper bodies and tiny legs.
Beauty and the Beast
, and
The Combatribes
had Berserker (named after the Norse warriors for his balance of speed and strength), Bullova (named after an Indian battle ax, for his massive strength), and Blitz (short for blitzkrieg, or lightning war, for his super quick attacks). For those that didn't know, alliteration is also manly--consider yourself informed.
What lies behind this manly triple threat of pectorals and hair known simply as
The Combatribes
? Well, as is the case with any group of man's men, not a whole lot. Real men are all action, all the time and Technos Japan Corp. knew this, as evidenced by the opening cinema:
So, what do we know so far? Only that there is a group called Ground Zero, they have a leader, and we have to go where the action is--Act I:
The Motorcycle Nuclear Warheads
. Let that sink in for a minute: Motorcycle. Nuclear. Warheads. The.
[embed]130874:19053[/embed]If that isn't the manliest opening level you've every heard of, you're a fucking liar. But the manliness doesn't end there, as you're immediately dropped into the middle of a gang brawl where you have a multitude of attacks at your disposal. Aside from your standard kick and punch combos, our heroes can stomp on fallen opponents, swing opponents by their ankles, smash enemy heads together, jump on fallen enemy torsos, grab enemies by the hair and smash their face into the pavement, and straddle downed opponents' chests and bludgeon their face until they drown in their own blood. Fuck yes.
The action doesn't end with mere unarmed physical combat. With a developer pedigree that includes games like
Double Dragon
, and
River City Ransom
, you don't limit yourself to brutal hand-to-hand violence--you let the environments deal some punishment too. To this end, players have a number of conveniently placed and absurdly huge items that can be picked up and launched at opponents. The best of these items include motorcycles, go-karts, and pinball machines.
The Combratribes
finds you fighting through a total of six stages, each with its own unique gang and boss. You'll fight bikers, clowns, skate punks, Native Americans, and some sort of army general with two robot arms and a cannon that pops out of his chest. The final stage is essentially a "boss rush" mode and forces you to clear enemies and bosses from the first five stages until the game's final battle. And this is where
The Combatribes
truly shines.
As you approach the end of the game, you see the Ground Zero leader, a generic giant-guy-in-a-suit-standing-by-a-limo. At this point, you would be foolish not to tingle with anticipation--you've been waiting for this battle ever since you decided to "go where the action is." But, suddenly, just as you think you're about to fight the toughest dude alive--BOOM!!--glass explodes and the man's internals are sprayed all over the sidewalk. Out from the limo and behind the now-fading corpse walks the Ground Zero leader's lovely cyborg bodyguard, Martha Splatterhead, who, inexplicably, thought it appropriate to kill her boss before fending off his attackers.
And herein lies the genius of
The Combatribes
: It forces players to realize that the only way to be a man is to beat the femininity out of everything around you. The streets of future New York are tough, but every gang has its own leader and its own code of ethics. Then Ground Zero decides to admit a woman into its ranks and, next thing you know, the most powerful man in New York has his guts painting the pavement. The message is simple yet profound, making
The Combatribes
possibly the gaming medium's greatest argument for games as art.
Perhaps the greatest fault of
The Combatribes
is that most people will never see its profound ending. If you ever come across an arcade machine, it will likely bankrupt you before you reach the end. But, this game is unapologetically tough for a reason: That's how a man's game should be.
If you're too weak to play
The Comabtribes
, this obviously manly dude can show you how it's done:
So, how does
The Combatribes
stack up...

Destructoid's Shadowrun Revival
In 2007, FASA Interactive and Microsoft Game Studios released a largely ignored first person shooter named
was an ambitious title: It was to launch the Windows Live service--finally bringing PC and 360 gamers together--and introduce an entirely new generation of gamers to the Shadowrun universe. Unfortunately, the game was a commercial flop, FASA Studios closed their doors in September 2007, and the Shadowrun forums were shut down in early 2008.
So, why was the game such a commercial failure? Well, there were three main reasons: First, the market wasn't ready to pay $60 for a multiplayer-only title with a mere 9 maps. Second, fans of the Shadowrun franchise were pretty mad to see their beloved RPG series transformed into a first person shooter. Third, it takes a relatively open mind to appreciate the depth of the "
Well, great news, everyone! The failure of

The lot of us were talking outside of Destructoid and decided it would be a lot of fun to get the community involved with this game. I hope to be playing tonight and throughout the weekend, but with enough interest I would like to get a weekly game going.
"But, Panda, Team Fortress 2 is only $9.99 this week and it's still being supported by the developer!" you cry. Well, dear reader, does TF2 have MYTHICAL BEASTS? No! How about MAGIC? No!

I love you all.
I love Destructoid. I've loved this place since it was first aborted onto the Internet as the go-to site for the latest news on
Jaws: The Game
. I came for the gaming news; I stayed for the community.
I am dismayed that a lot of the original community members who welcomed me to the then-hideous Red & Green House that Robots Built are now turning their backs on it. However, I understand your frustration: Destructoid is a unique website. While the site was originally founded by a shady Hispanic grifter with a box of air conditioning parts, somehow a really incredible group of gamers all converged on this site at the same time. These gamers worked their hearts out and -- through their stories, tips, artwork, videos, comments, and general love -- a new gaming website was literally born by the sweat of total strangers.
However, times change and Destructoid needs to grow in order to stay alive. And, as the site grows, a lot of the original members feel left behind as they watch the site they helped build transform in the hands of others. If any Dtoid members appear to feel "entitled," it is only because they have worked so hard to help this site grow.
With this in mind, I think it is important that these same community members look back at why they came to Destructoid in the first place. Try to remember why you loved it so much. I look around and I see a lot of the same people and a lot of the same writers -- our family has just grown exponentially. There is now an even greater group of gamers and writers with unique opinions and a common bond: we all discovered a place where we can leave the bullshit at the door and have a good time with other gamers.
Let's stop the ad hominem attacks and bromidic sermons about the "good old days." Instead of talking about the good old days, why don't we bring them back? Why don't we all reach out to new people like Ron did at the very beginning? Why don't we continue to contribute content to the site we love? I used to refresh this page constantly so I would be the first to see Butmac's latest video or read the newest piece of Internet miscellanea dug up by BlindsideDork, but I can't stand to refresh it one more time and see another divisive cblog title.
My personal life has been exceptionally busy for months now, but I still read this site every day. I will do my damnedest to make sure this site stays as great as it has always been. If there are individual grievances, let them be heard. But, please, do not just make this a battle of "old v. new." Don't like the type of stories on the front page? Suggest a filtering mechanism in a forum post or email Niero. Annoyed by new people coming in and clogging up the cblogs with trivial posts? Offer
criticism or suggest the addition of a "bury" button for cblogs appearing on the front page.
There are a million ways to improve Destructoid, but everyone seems focused on the only way to destroy it -- by breaking up the community. Now is not the time to be divisive; now is not the time to STFUAJPG; now is the time to get active and bring another 30,000 users into the fold.
I love you all.

Free Gears of War 2 with Purchase of Lancer Replica
Do you love Gears of War? Are you constantly envious of CliffyB? Do you wonder where he gets those sweet leather cuffs that went out of fashion in the 90s and are now the universal symbol of the modern date rapist? Well, I can't help you. However, I have got a "deal" for you!
Amazon.com is currently offering an exclusive replica of the Gears of War Lancer weapon (pictured above). If you order before 11/7/08, for the low price of $139.99 the Lancer and a
copy of Gears of War 2 could be yours. Supplies are limited. For an extra $10 you can get the "Limited" Edition Gears of War 2.
I don't know about you guys, but I think this is awesome! I am absolutely overjoyed at the thought of laughing at people who actually buy this bundle. You would think for that kind of scratch the gun would look a little less plasticky... or at least fire Nerf darts.
Anyway, you can pick it up or read the full description

Panda Comics #1: The Reg Man Cometh
Well, I finally purchased a Wacom tablet for my laptop and got to fooling with it tonight. I haven't drawn a damn thing for years and I'm still trying to figure out how to use the tablet, but below you will find my first attempt at anything interesting.
The inspiration for this comic came during work today while I was listening to Podtoid E3 No'8. I think you'll see how Nintendo's sub-par press conference and Jim's discussion of Reggie "Beef Burger" Fils-Aime played a large role in my creative process.
Edit: Now with more low quality JPEG action!

Retro Sensibilities is a weekly feature that examines modern games with decidedly retro sensibilities. Some games will be current-gen reissues that retain an old school flavor, others will be all-new titles that have the perfect mix of elements to quickly transport you back to a more simple time. Call them neo-retro, call them retromazing, call them over-priced jabs at your wallet, whatever you call them, don't miss out on these gems!
In my mind, there are two types of gamers: those that can beat
without the Konami Code and those that can't. Those of us in the former group view the rest of you as a bunch of spoon-fed pantywaists who never knew the bitter joy of retro gaming. If you were in any way offended by that previous statement, killsmooth wrote a great post about the desolation of Wii ownership that
you should go read
. However, if you've been thrown out of an arcade for kicking a
Ghosts 'n Goblins
cabinet; if you've seen the insides of an NES controller as a result of Turbo Tunnel-induced rage; if you've told your friends to stop whining because you think
Mars Matrix
, then read on --
Shiren the Wanderer
might just be the RPG for you.
Shiren the Wanderer
's retro sensibilities are easy to appreciate. After all, the game is a remake of a classic Super Famicom game and one of the most iconic entries in the decades-old
Mystery Dungeon
series. For those that are unfamiliar,
Mystery Dungeon
is a series of rougelike games developed by Chunsoft, the original developers of the
Dragon Quest
series, that typically stars characters from a variety of gaming franchises -- most notably
Final Fantasy
. In fact, the
series of games are the only
Mystery Dungeon
games to feature original characters.
As a roguelike,
Shiren the Wanderer
features the randomized dungeon crawling, turn-based play, and character development made popular by the original
and featured in modern
Mystery Dungeon
games like
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
Chocobo's Dungeon
. Those familiar with the PlayStation cult-hit
Azure Dreams
will also quickly recognize
's influence. Where the comparisons between
and other console dungeon crawlers end, however, is with
's sheer difficulty and adherence to the
The gameplay in
is as follows:
You are a samurai in feudal Japan on a quest to reach the Land of the Golden Condor. In order to reach said land and it's bountiful treasure (which we will assume is something more substantial than a gilded vulture), you must traverse numerous dungeons with only intermittent rests in small, mercantile villages to recover. Gameplay operates in a turn-based fashion. Every time the player completes an action (walk, eat, attack, pick up an item, or equip) every other enemy and NPC takes a moment to complete an action. Thankfully, the player does not have to take a significant amount of time watching each individual action and, to further prevent slow down, health is recovered as you walk. The food in the game is used solely to reduce hunger, which works similarly to "stamina" in the more recent
Metal Gear
games. However, if you consume the flesh of a fallen monster, you will also gain the creature's abilities.
That said, the real meat of the game lies in learning how to effectively use items and navigate dungeons without dying. I cannot stress this final point enough.
If you die in
, you are sent back
to the beginning of the game, stripped of your items, and all of your stats are reset
That's right, this is
in the truest sense of the word.
frustrating? As hell. But, the developers have incorporated a few elements into the game to ease your suffering. First, each village allows the player to place certain items in storage, which are retrievable in future playthroughs. While this sounds like a great benefit, it's important to remember that you can't simultaneously store and use an item. So, while it may be helpful to have that souped-up katana on a future playthrough to further upgrade, it may also be more beneficial for you to continue your journey with it in hand.
Beyond item storage, an additional feature was added to the DS version of
that drastically softens the blow of the player's untimely death: you can be rescued. Using a local wireless connection or Nintendo Wi-Fi, a player may opt to "rescue" a fallen comrade. The rescuing player must start a game and play through to the location of the fallen player in order to complete a rescue. Upon completion, the rescuing player is given a random item and the rescued player is brought back to life with his inventory intact, the current dungeon level clear, and the ability to send a "thank you" note -- complete with a gift, if desired. As cool as this sounds, your chances of actually having someone come to your rescue are slim. Furthermore, the feature can only be used three times before you are considered beyond saving. Despite this, the rescue mechanic is one of the more interesting and innovative uses of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection that I have seen.
Overall, the real joy of
will only be appreciated by a select few. While the endearing characters and
graphics have a decidedly broad appeal, this game is designed for the hardcore. Carefully considering the random dungeons and items, the seasoned
player improves his game by learning how to interact with enemies and items. The age-old RPG tactic of hoarding items is useless here, as your inventory is limited and levels are full of single use items that you
use to survive. The ideal
player is one that learns how to combo items together and develops new strategies against seemingly insurmountable threats. In this regard,
plays more like
than any modern RPG.
is brutal, unforgiving, and absolutely relentless. It hearkens back to a time when gamers would spends days trying to master a level, only to face more difficult challenges as the game progressed. Week after week of toil would eventually culminate in an underwhelming and poorly translated "congraturaions!" screen and the player would head off to the store to search for the next challenge. God damn I missed those days.

Unsung Heroes: Conrad Zimmerman
It's undeniable that the cblogs have brought a wealth of talent and a wealth of stupidity to the Destructoid community. While the stupidity is often acknowledged with hundreds of spam comments, many times the better cblogs go ignored or unnoticed for a long time. In this sporadically updated series (hey, I can only update when someone is consistently good and unnoticed) I will feature these unsung heroes of Destructoid.
The decision to write this first
Unsung Heroes
was not an easy one. Not because there weren't any deserving community members, but because of the inherent danger of writing about this month's choice:
Conrad Zimmerman
. You see, Conrad is known to a few of us as "Destructoid Kryptonite." He has gained this title not only because his cblogs fail to garner much attention regardless of how well they are written, but because any cblog written about him typically goes unloved. For instance, when Necros posted a
cblog about Conrad's RetRose Contest
, it received only two comments until I tricked some IRC guys into commenting that Necros is a racist. As you can see, the popularity-sapping power of Conrad is strong and posting about this man is akin to playing with fire while being strapped into a
cock guillotine
"Well, Panda, what about Conrad makes him worth taking this monumental risk? Why is this Conrad fellow awesome?" you ask. Well, dear reader, that is what the rest of this feature will be about. The most obvious reason that Conrad is one of my favorite cbloggers is that he has two excellent and consistently updated features:
RetRose Tinted
On the Table
RetRose Tinted
RetRose Tinted
is a weekly feature (updated on Tuesdays) that looks at games of the past through the eyes of a modern gamer. In Conrad's own words:
"Aside from being an amazingly witty play on words, RetRose Tinted is an attempt to look back upon retro video games without the cloudy haze of nostalgia. Each week, I play a game that I remember enjoying in my youth and see if my memories are justified."
Essentially, RetRose Tinted is similar to Rorschach's wildly popular
Why the Hell Should I Play it?
series with a few notable differences: (1) RetRose Tinted focuses on games the author has played before, (2) RetRose Tinted has been running as a series for nearly two months, and (3) no one seems to read RetRose Tinted. Games covered in RetRose Tinted range from
The Lost Vikings
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
and all of the stories are written well enough to be interesting even if you've
never heard of the game
. And, if games you've never heard of get your pants tight, you'll love Conrad's other series of articles:
On the Table
On the Table
On the Table
is a weekly feature (typically updated on Saturdays) that discusses those things that people used to play before video games. I believe they were called
board games
. Again, in Conrad's own words:
"On the Table is a series of board and card game reviews. Each week, I focus on a different piece of analog entertainment with coverage of basic gameplay, a little critique and passing mention of any digital versions I find of it."
"But, Panda, NVGR!!" you cry. Well, buck up and quit your whining. I happen to like both this series and board games and Conrad has provided some perfectly compelling reasons as to why we should care:
"Board games are fun, for starters. And with the popularity of games like Carcassone, Catan and Eye of Judgement, I felt there was an interest in this type of game. And it's my blog, so there."
Not interested in board games? In the words of Thuper Hardcore, "No likey ...? Don't fucking read it." However, by skipping this series you're missing out. Like Conrad's RetRose posts, all of the On the Table series is well written and interesting even if you're unfamiliar with the subject matter. Additionally, many of the games have freely available PC iterations that Conrad discusses in his blog. Hell, it might even do some of you good to have some non-gamer friends over to down some brews and play some board games.
The Rest
In addition to Conrad's regular series, he randomly posts interesting stories, events, or game reviews. In particular, two of my recent favorites were his recount of seeing
The State Reunion
and his
brief impressions
of the Metal Gear Solid cell phone game.
Well, there you have it. A brief glimpse into the world of Conrad Zimmerman. I hope you've enjoyed this first edition of
Unsung Heroes
and I encourage everyone to leave comments or PM me with suggestions for future cbloggers to feature.

RetRose Tinted Competition: HarassmentPanda, Tourneyfag
My palms were sweating and my heart was about to leap from my chest. I took a deep breath and tried to focus. In a few minutes the third and final round was starting. I knew what I was about to do. I knew it was cheap. I knew some might even consider it "cheating," but the round began and I went to work. I blazed through the first level. I was a banana-collecting dynamo. Then, at the last moment, in the final pit, I took a plunge. The onlookers gasped, a red on-screen balloon popped, and a wide smile and hearty laugh erupted from deep within me--no one saw it coming. They had fallen for it.
I was in the last round of the regional qualifiers for the Blockbuster World Video Game Championships. I was twelve years old. The platform was Super Nintendo; the game was Donkey Kong Country, but not just any Donkey Kong Country. This Donkey Kong Country was a modified version designed for tournament play -- the world map was eliminated, extra bananas were hidden, and bananas were given as a bonus for completing a level.
This game now sells in the thousands and, yet, you can only play for 5 minutes before having to restart.
I glossed through the first round with an easy victory. My platforming skills were unmatched, but early in the second round my score was beaten. To my dismay, not only was my score beaten, but it was beaten by my arch-nemesis: James from down the street. Now, James was no friend of mine. His personal hygiene was terrible, he preferred Sonic to Mario, and, worst of all, he was the only kid I knew who could hang with me in pure, unadulterated gaming skill. This kid was nasty on the d-pad. He was the dirty, smelly version of Lucas to my well-adjusted, likable Jimmy Woods. And, like the real Jimmy Woods, I came back with a score to bash his skull in on the second round. While winning the second round was satisfying, we both knew there was still one more chance for him to beat me in the third round. This brings us back to our Tarantinoesque beginning.
Despite my physical manifestations of anxiety, there was little pressure on me: James had failed to beat my score in his third round attempt. Now it was time to showboat. While the onlookers gasped at my death near the end of Jungle Hijinx, I knew that none of them saw the method in my madness. As anyone who played the competition cart knows, completion of the first level brings you straight into the next level. While the bonus bananas from completing a level were huge, the disproportionately large number of bonus bananas on the first level combined with the ease with which the first level could be completed negated the level completion bonus entirely. The effect was only compounded when you considered that later levels included an excruciatingly slow
The plan worked beautifully. I near doubled my previous score and I was well on my way to the next round of competition. While not a humorous retro gaming memory, this is certainly my most significant and has largely influenced my taste for competitive gaming today. The year of free pizza and video game rentals provided by Domino's and Blockbuster was a nice perk too. Thanks for reading my entry into ConradZimmerman's

We arrived at the Neptune and a notice advised us to check in down the street at the Alouette Beach Resort. We were offered another room there for the same price. We chose to upgrade to Alouette Sunrise suites and it was an Amazing time!
Having to leave was difficult. :)
Location! The outdoor heated pool was nice too. The kitchenette was surprisingly well stocked and very nice.
The bathroom could have had more racks to hang bathing suits and towels. It rained a few days so hanging stuff outside was not an option. The sheets were rough and uncomfortable. I would bring my own sheets.
It was near the beach
The room was old and it had a bad odor.
Quiet room with everything you need.
My room was on the top floor and the steep roof line cut into head space on the edges of the room.
We very much enjoyed our off season stay. Everything is walking distance. Lots of things to do.
Location, beach at your feet. When you check in, you're checking into 1965. it's an old, wood frame, coastal, tourist hotel that has seen better days but is still functional. Rather like me. A clean room on the beach as a place to sleep and shower.
A radio and clock would have been welcome. And they could replace the curtain hooks. Otherwise, there were no surprises. Don't go there looking for a resort.
The location as great
Clean room, all recently renovated. The bathroom was a nice size. The free breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, eggs (scrambled or omelets) bacon or sausage (it varies from day to day). There are also waffle makers available. The staff was always helpful and friendly.
The tub! For some reason, the bottom of the tub is weirdly contoured and very uncomfortable to stand in when you take a shower.
The other major problem was the mattresses. When I or my girlfriend moved, it traveled to the other, causing a never ending chain of shifting in order to get comfortable. We ended up sleeping in separate beds, since both mattresses had the same issue. They need to upgrade the mattresses to ones with independent coils.
One last minor thing, the only table in the room, is where the coffee maker is placed, it's set against the wall like a desk. We could fit our laptop there but nothing else. In other hotels we've stayed at there's usually a little free standing table with a couple of chairs where you can sit with drinks or snacks.
I like that the bed was comfortable. It was also a quiet place but close to town enough to walk.
Good location close to beach. Nice stop off on the way to Acadia.
Tiny and dated.
very good price, room spacious enough, clean.staff friendly and helpful, close to beach which is not very commercial.
sometimes neighbors noisy, specially at night.
Units sre beeing renovated
Location was great, right off I-295, and minutes from where I wanted to be in the morning. Room was clean. It has a restaurant inside which was convenient. Food (bowl of soup) was OK.
Water temperature in shower was extremely hot; I nearly scalded my back when going to turn off water.
Also, there were (unused?) hand towels in tub. Did they just fall, or were they left by previous guest?
Good food, comfi bed
Bathroom wasn't clean
right on the beach.
Guest using public walkway as their living room. I expected noise and commotion on the beach but not near our rooms. People were out of their rooms sitting on the walkway being very loud and watching every move you make. No privacy always being watched.
Kept up nicely
Rooms look a little outdated but cleanliness is most important.
The hotel was in a good location, close to stores and other attractions.Everything was very clean and the staff was very accomodating.
The room itself would have been more appealing with more colorful walls. A few flower pots would have brightened up the outside. While these are minor issues, appearances leave an impression.
The room was very spacious...Lots of room and just the right amount of kitchen stuff
I didn't like that there was no shampoo and that the pool was closed on sundays
Staff were helpful and nice area close to food

Quotations About / On: HUMOR
Page :
Especially the transcendental philosophy needs the leaven of humor to render it light and digestible.(Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), U.S. philosopher, author, naturalist. "Thomas Carlyle and His Works" (1847), in The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, vol. 4, pp. 333-334, Houghton Mifflin (1906).)More quotations from: Henry David Thoreau, humor, light
Humor, however broad and genial, takes a narrower view than enthusiasm.(Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), U.S. philosopher, author, naturalist. A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849), in The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, vol. 1, p. 397, Houghton Mifflin (1906).)More quotations from: Henry David Thoreau, humor
Humour is consistent with pathos, whilst wit is not.(Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), British poet, critic. repr. In Collected Works, vol. 14, ed. Kathleen Coburn (1990). "Table Talk," vol. 1 (1821), reported by Thomas Allsop in Letters and Conversations of S.T. Coleridge (1836).)More quotations from: Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Comedy is a necessity to get through life with the fewest scars. Humor is the best antidote to help relieve all struggles.(Suzy Kassem)More quotations from: Suzy Kassem
Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humour. He will always use it in evidence against you.(Herbert, Sir Beerbohm (1853-1917), British actor-manager. Quoted in Hesketh Pearson, Beerbohm-Tree, ch. 12 (1956).)More quotations from: Sir Beerbohm, Herbert
There seems to be no lengths to which humorless people will not go to analyze humor. It seems to worry them.(Robert Benchley (1889-1945), U.S. writer, humorist. After 1903What? "What Does It Mean?" Harper & Brothers (1938).)More quotations from: Robert Benchley, humor, people
In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.(J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967), U.S. physicist. Lecture, November 25, 1947, delivered at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Physics in the Contemporary World," no. 50, Technology Review (1948). The remark became notorious when it was quoted in Time (February 23, 1948 and November 8, 1948).)More quotations from: J. Robert Oppenheimer, humor
Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever.(Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835-1910), U.S. author. The Autobiography of Mark Twain, ch. 55, ed. Charles Neider, Harper & Row (1959).)More quotations from: Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens], humor, forever
It is well known that Beauty does not look with a good grace on the timid advances of Humour.(W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965), British author. Cakes and Ale, ch. 11 (1930).)More quotations from: W. Somerset Maugham, beauty
A wise parent humours the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.(Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865), British novelist. Mr. Hale, in North and South, ch. 15 (1855).)More quotations from: Elizabeth Gaskell, friend

Health Insurance:
Most College Students Are Covered through Employer-Sponsored Plans, and Some Colleges and States Are Taking Steps to Increase Coverage

College students face challenges obtaining health insurance--they may not have access to insurance through an employer, and as they get older, they may lose dependent coverage obtained through a parent's plan. Federal law ensures continued access to health insurance for some, but not all, such students. Without health insurance, college students may be unable to pay for their health care, and the cost of this care may be passed on to federal and state payers, such as Medicaid. College students may have access to student insurance plans offered by their colleges. GAO was asked to report on uninsured college students, student insurance plans, and efforts to increase the number of insured students. GAO reviewed (1) college students' insurance status, (2) uninsured college students' characteristics, (3) the extent to which colleges offered student insurance plans and the characteristics of available plans, and (4) efforts to increase the number of insured students. GAO analyzed data from a national survey on college students' insurance status and uninsured college students' characteristics. GAO collected data from 340 colleges on the availability of student insurance plans and the characteristics of available plans, and also gathered detailed plan information from case studies of 10 colleges and interviews with experts and insurance industry officials. GAO also reviewed some states' laws.
About 80 percent of college students aged 18 through 23 had health insurance in 2006. While 67 percent of college students were covered through employer-sponsored plans, 7 percent were covered through other private health insurance plans, such as student insurance plans, and 6 percent were covered by public programs, such as Medicaid. Most insured students were covered, for example, as a dependent, on a policy under another person's name. About 20 percent of college students aged 18 through 23 (1.7 million) were uninsured in 2006, and certain groups of students--such as part-time students, nonwhite students, and students from families with lower incomes--were more likely than others to be uninsured. The characteristics of uninsured students are consistent with those of the uninsured found in the general U.S. population. Over half of colleges nationwide offered student insurance plans in the 2007-2008 academic year, and plans' benefits varied. Colleges customized their plans to reflect their priorities in making premiums affordable for students while providing coverage that meets students' needs. The plans GAO reviewed varied in the services they covered and how they paid for covered services. Specifically, some plans excluded preventive services from coverage and some plans limited payment for benefits such as prescription drugs. In addition, plans also varied in terms of premiums and maximum benefits, with annual premiums ranging from $30 to $2,400 and maximum benefits ranging from $2,500 for each illness or injury to unlimited lifetime coverage. Colleges and states have taken a variety of steps to increase the number of insured college students. For example, GAO estimated that about 30 percent of colleges nationwide required students to have health insurance in academic year 2007-2008, and some states also have health insurance requirements for college students. Finally, some states have expanded dependents' eligibility for private health insurance, which makes insurance more available to college students who obtain coverage as dependents. Officials from the American College Health Association (ACHA)--an advocacy and leadership organization for college and university health--provided a technical comment, which we incorporated.

First Episode 'What happened to Rudy Eugene'
in News
We want answers! Why did Rudy Eugene and Johnny Lewis snapped and committed such strange acts of violence so suddenly? No one has ever given a real reason. Tonight we discuss what we now call FES or Face Eating Syndrome. It isn't just Rudy and Johnny. There are a host of people acting exactly like them, even in 2015. No answers, follow ups or reasons offered, just speculation. We will talk about a common denominator between them all. Forget the concept you think is rational. If you think eating someones face for 18 minutes is rational then I guess any reason will do. We don't and we don't think the reason is any more rational than the act itself. Join us and give us what you might think it is all about. Listen in and find out some things you may not have even been aware of.

A shooting in Oregon has once again raised suspicions about the shooter, whose name has not been released. The 20-year-old male who opened fire at Umpqua Community College in Oregon asked victims to state their religion before opening fire, according to multiple reports. An 18-year-old student told the News-Review newspaper that the gunman, after shooting her teacher in the head through a window, told people to get on the ground. He then told people to stand up and state their religion before opening fire. Student whose grandmother was at the school, said the shooter asked people if they were Christian. "If they said yes, then they were shot in the head," she wrote. "If they said no, or didn't answer, they were shot in the legs."

Those were the days...and they still are. Norman Lear's landmark Emmy® Award-winning comedy about the Bunkers, one of the most beloved families in television history, continues with this second season. Filled with more hysterical episodes including "Sammy's Visit" featuring Sammy Davis, Jr. Starring Carroll O'Connor as Archie, Jean Stapleton as Edith, Rob Reiner as Mike "Meathead" Stivic and Sally Struthers as Gloria, ALL IN THE FAMILY is a timeless classic to cherish forever.
With a new time slot (8:00 p.m. Saturdays) and three first-season Emmys®, All in the Family was primed for greatness, and these 24 episodes represent the series at its best. Carroll O'Connor leads the perfect cast as blue-collar bigot Archie Bunker, and the standout classic is "Sammy's Visit," in which black, Jewish rat-packer Sammy Davis Jr. visits the Bunker home, where he's hilariously horrified by Archie's prejudicial ignorance. The script was written by comedian Bill ("José Jiminez") Dana, and to borrow Archie's phrase, it's a pip, as Sammy turns Archie's racist remarks on their ear to the delight of young liberals Gloria (Sally Struthers) and husband Mike (Rob Reiner). Sammy's parting kiss on Archie's cheek is one of the series' all-time highlights. Then there's Burt Styler's Emmy-winning script for "Edith's Problem," in which Archie's "Dingbat" wife experiences the mood swings of menopause (another first, along with impotence in "Mike's Problem," in the series' taboo-busting candor). A showcase for Jean Stapleton (who deservedly won her second consecutive Emmy), it also demonstrates (as does "Archie and Edith Alone") the hurtful repercussions of Archie's unintentional cruelty. Edith's Archie-baiting cousin Maude (Bea Arthur) is introduced ("Maude" is a pilot for the character's spin-off sitcom, which premiered in '72), and credit must be given to John Rich, who directed all 24 episodes (winning an Emmy for "Sammy's Visit") with a flawless sense of ensemble chemistry, precision timing, and lasting political relevance. This season earned seven Emmys overall, including awards for O'Connor and Struthers. Given such a wealth of sitcom glory, it's a shame these DVDs are devoid of retrospective features. --Jeff ShannonSee all Editorial Reviews
