Who Are You?
I did a similar thing over on Twitter a couple weeks ago, and I think I only got one response :P. I know there are people out there that are reading this, and a few of you have already commented on a few blog posts. Just out of curiosity, though, who are you? How’d you…

More “Rock Band” DLC Problems…?
So this morning I tried to download another one of those songs that I’ve been dying for and drowning in anticipation for: “Under the Bridge” by a certain band with Chili Peppers that may or may not be Red Hot. Note that I’m not really the biggest RHCP fan in the world. In fact, I…

I don’t know what to title this. “E-mail and parents”…?
So for the last many years, I occasionally receive spam specifically geared towards a car enthusiast. Nothing strange here, but keep reading. Let it be known that my dad owned a Corvette for a while, and thought he was the super-awesome car guy. He got rid of it a few years ago, mostly because he…

New Games This Week
This is a question mostly aimed at Andrew… but you all are free to reply, as well :P. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS) and Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3/360) are both out this week. Are you picking up either of them? What’s your interest level in them? I know you were aprehensive about the new…

Psyched for “King of Fighters XII”
The art style of Street Fighter IV is definitely something to write home about, but all of us above the age of 20 were still halfway sad to see the (numbered part of the) series finally abandon its 2D roots (yes, I understand Arika and the EX series exist, and as much as I enjoyed…

Games We’re Finally Playing: Final Fantasy VI
OK, so technically Jeff has already played it (and you heard all about it back on episode two). However, I had never actually played beyond the first five minutes (I thought a full hour, but no, not even…) of Final Fantasy VI, considered by many to be the pinnacle of the series. I’ve had Anthology…

360 Woes: Update #5 (Final…?)
So my 360 is finally back. Insert huzzah upon huzzah here. They tried delivering it on Tuesday to the future-in-laws’ place, but no-one was home, so right back on the truck for the next day it went. Thankfully, someone was going to be home all day the following day, and it was indeed scheduled for…

DRM-Free Is The Way To Be
This has nothing to do with Spore. Sorry. One of the funnest (see what I did there? It’s topical!) things that Meri and I do after AWA is create some kind of “mix-tape” (well, an MP3 playlist that may or may not be burned to CD for my line-in-less car audio system) of our favorite…

Direct Visit or RSS Reader?
I suppose this is something I could get answers to if I felt like looking at and analyzing some server logs, but comments are much more interesting. For this blog (as well as vgconvos, and perhaps any other blogs you read)… are you directly visiting the website, or are you reading it in some type…

Low-Price Hilarity
I could have sworn I posted about this game and its price(s) previously on the blog. I even took pictures of it. Guess I never did anything with them. Regardless, as you can see in the below picture, that’s three red stickers placed over each other, indicating a clearance price-drop each time. Yes, that’s right.…
