I get really nervous when I see dogs in modern games, especially when they are companion characters. In most games I have a hard enough time keeping my human character alive, but I’m not wracked with guilt when I fail my human companions. When I fail a dog though, that’s much hard to take. However,… Continue reading
I can’t say I have the experience to fully participate in a Commodore nostalgia fest, but I can appreciate a collection of art from classic games. Thanks to Kickstarter, Sam Dyer has released two great looking books celebrating the artistry of the Commodore 64 and Amiga. Commodore 64: a visual Commpendium – “A book that celebrates… Continue reading
We came across this pretty amazing SegaNet ad the other day. If you’ll remember in 2000 one of the more progressive features of Sega’s Dreamcast was that it supported online gaming. When you are done beating up on your friends locally and online, who else would you want to play against? Celebrities? Ok, I guess…. Continue reading
There will always be a lot to love about the art direction of BioShock Infinite. One of the smartest design choices was to give each vigor a distinct personality. It made each one memorable and immediately gave the player a sense of what each vigor could do. It’s no surprise that the vigors turned out… Continue reading
As the world’s go-to 7 year-old for pretty much everything, I had strong opinions about the Game Boy when it was released. Mainly that the Game Boy only plays baby games that weren’t cool enough to be on my “Intendo.” Or it could have been that I was jealous because the only Game Boy in my… Continue reading
The nice dessert that comes along with the influx of quality indie game releases is that we are seeing more and more soundtracks released alongside of those games. I personally love video game music. I love it even more so when the music raises above any of my game experiences. I can’t pretend to be… Continue reading
You don’t mess around with Majora’s Mask so it seems fitting if one was to make a Majora’s Mask that you’d want to choose to create it in the most bad ass way possible. Since Majora’s Mask is wooden there’s really no better choice than to make one using chainsaws. Griffon Ramsey makes a lot… Continue reading

What’s one way to update a 20+ year-old game that really captures the essence of the 2010’s? If you thought Doomguy was missing a selfie stick, then what the hell is wrong with you? Also, I’d like to thank the creators of the InstaDoom mod for making that a reality because I immediately want to go do some… Continue reading
Mad Moxxi is my favorite character from the Borderlands universe, you can speculate why, but she’s just damn entertaining. Naturally, I tipped her quite well in Borderlands 2. She eventually returned the favor by giving me my favorite weapon in the game Miss Moxxi’s Bad Touch. Some of the crazy folks at TriForce and Think… Continue reading
Who hasn’t been down to their local arcade and played the new Star Wars game? Sorry I just wanted to see what that statement looked like outside of the late 1980s. It’s ok though, we all have the clear to be excited for Star Wars again. That looks like Disney/Lucasfilm are extending that pass to… Continue reading
