Let’s face it, a majority of the townsfolk that Link encounters during his adventures are a little bit off. I’ve always felt though that they had their reasons for being a bit standoffish to our hero. After all, Link has some strange behaviors of his own, especially considering that he isn’t exactly invited into most… Continue reading
Some people go to tech events to geek out around their favorite hobbies. Others produce those moments that make us geek out. The Arcade Man is working with a team to produce one such geekout worthy project for an event in Portugal called Sapo Codebits. The team is taking an old sit-down arcade driving game… Continue reading
Hey! loves its video game music, and one of our favorite artists, Dj CUTMAN, is back with an interesting selection for his game music remixed with hip-hop beats. Nintendo has put together some truly stellar menu music on its consoles, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to “hearing” what it… Continue reading
Super Meat Boy encapsulated my love for the most rewarding aspects of 2D platformers with great control, level design, challenge, and charm. Once you conquer 2D, it’s natural to wonder what a game’s evolution to 3D would look like. Surely though, lightning couldn’t strike twice for SMB? I mean the idea of a Super Meat Boy… Continue reading
Nothing scares me more than the prospect of a Hollywood movie version of Castlevania. Granted I’m overprotective of the franchise, but I still think my fears are warranted. While the production of such a film thankfully continues to struggle into endless roadblocks, I never considered the prospect of a watchable web series. Web series restored… Continue reading
To date myself a bit, one of the things I always looked forward to in my early subscriptions to Nintendo Power was the art submitted by gamers. I was even known to submit my own “art” though I’m still waiting for the first piece to be published. I still regularly enjoy looking through game inspired… Continue reading
It’s easy to become jaded with pumpkin art, so it’s no surprise that it took a video game for me to sit up and pay a bit more attention this season. I saw the image below of a Tetris pumpkin and thought that it was a “cute idea.” Then, I scrolled down to find a… Continue reading
This is the time of year where I regret not planning my Halloween costume sooner. In my last minute scramble, I’m also frustrated by the possibilities that I never considered an option. This years regrets are being kicked off with my discovery that a being a cozy Mega Man would have been awesome. Game Punk… Continue reading
I was surprised by a few things while tracking down today’s video: 1) Mega64 apparently still does its classic reality videos based on video games, 2) Alan Wake is topical enough to warrant a video at this point, and 3) that Mega64 managed to genuinely scare people instead of just annoying the hell out of… Continue reading
Somewhere in the last year, digital pinball has inexplicably fascinated more than a few of the Horrible Night contributors. At first, it seemed all innocent until Josh mentioned that he was actively working on an arcade controller mod to have a more authentic experience. Thankfully, those pinball fans not interested in breaking out a soldering… Continue reading
I’ve always been a fan of video games mainly due to them granting players the ability to interact with situations that are impossible to recreate in real life without the use of computer graphics. Apparently, our gaming roots aren’t as far fetched as I give them credit for Martin Raynsford is well on his way… Continue reading
One of the most tiring trends of the N64 era was the endless parade of new mascots in 3D platforming games. Personally, my biggest sigh+eyeroll combo came at the announcement of Twelve Tales: Conker 64. I had never seen a more generic video game or video game character in my life. Why would Rare need… Continue reading
