Reason to Upgrade – PC with MS-DOS and CGA Graphics: So Many Keys, So Few Colors
I’m not sure I knew what a computer was when I saw one awkwardly sitting on a card table in our family room. My dad was tinkering with it. Turning it on, turning it off, turning it back on. I saw him clicking on a lot of buttons as letters showed up on the screen. I… Continue reading
Reason to Upgrade – SNES: Singular Nintendo Entertainment System
For most of my formative years, video game consoles just magically showed up at my house. I didn’t know where they came from. I just assumed my dad’s friends got bored or had extras. Every 2 years or so I’d come home and a new one would be hooked up somewhere in my house and it… Continue reading
Gaming Lifestyle: Drowning in Games
Throughout my adult life, video games have come and gone. As a kid, they were always there. From the age of 6 until sometime in college, I could have been considered a die-hard gamer. Then my interests waned and other things started to take the place of video games. For a couple of years, I… Continue reading
Reason to Upgrade – PC Spring 2015: We Need a Professional
I used to be obsessed with keeping my PC up to date, but it became exhausting to stay on top of technology. The PC that I built 2 years ago was actually my first gaming focused PC in almost a decade. It was overdue, but in the back of my mind I feared I would fall back… Continue reading
Freedom to Play: Color Blindness and Accessibility
The thing about (gaming) accessibility is that it can be hard to get fired up about if it’s not affecting you. It can even be hard to get fired up enough to write about when your own accessibility issue really doesn’t bother you that much on a day-to-day basis, which is an embarrassing thing to… Continue reading
Power Rankings: The Assassin’s Creed Series
I’ve been riding alongside the assassins since the beginning. I’ve grown accustomed to the iconic look of Altair’s signature assassin garb as the series hurdled its way toward the modern age. Whenever someone mentions templars, I can’t help but look into an invisible camera and mutter that I hate those guys. With last year’s releases of… Continue reading
Game Association: Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat was released in arcades in 1992 before coming to consoles the following year. It’s impact at the time is probably just as large as its legacy that continues on into 2015 with the release of Mortal Kombat X. Mortal Kombat? MORTAL KOMBAT! Cole – I remember my friend had a Prodigy account and he printed… Continue reading
I Am Prepared But Blizzard Will Not Rest
Ten years ago I was bitten hard by a Blizzard bug. The launch of World of Warcraft was the only time in my life where I dedicated most of my game time to a single game. It was glorious and I was content. After a couple of years, I rediscovered the truth that I am… Continue reading
Game Association: Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (NES)
In 1989 Tecmo published the action platformer Ninja Gaiden on the NES. It went on to spawn two more sequels on the console. The series stars Ryu Hayabusa, dramatic cutscenes, and a ridiculous difficulty. Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on the NES = Cole – That’s really sad that dude’s dad had to die. – Shouldn’t Ryu’s dad have taken… Continue reading
