  • Subtle Harmonix Genius

    Hey, all. I’m back! I have a lot to talk about on whatever (and whenever) the next podcast is about gaming on a honeymoon, but until then, it’s business as usual for me. (That basically means that I talk about Rock Band in some capacity, if you’re new here.) So I picked up Guitar Hero:…

  • Foreign Things Confuse Me

    I am back from the Honeymoon! We went on a cruise to Spain / Italy / France, and I am going to have a ton of pictures and stories to share (especially from Pompeii). In the meantime, I have something simple. This question goes out to all you Europeans out there. I should probaby have…

  • Losing Games Via Loans

    Since I’m leaving for my honeymoon tomorrow, I was briefly over at Jeff’s dropping off another key and talking about our kitties. I had a bunch of my stuff returned top me while I was there… stuff which I had almost no recollection of even loaning to Jeff in the first place. They included: –…

  • I Pirated. Then I Bought. Huh.

    A couple weeks back, I was feeling the urge to listen to some new music. I have a tactic that I’ve used every so often, and since it results in awesomeness more times than not (like originally finding Anberlin many years back), I decided to give it a go once more. I took a look…

  • Video Game References At A Wedding

    So I’m back and married, now. Woo-hoo! Leaving again for Barcelona in a couple days to go on a cruise! Woo-hoo! I’m not here to just go on and on about the wedding. You don’t care about that (most likely). You care about video games; that’s why you’re reading this (most likely). What I’m trying…

  • Problem Solved: Photoshop Crashes

    So I randomly started having an issue on my work computer this week where Adobe Photoshop CS3 would crash each and every time, without fail, when I tried to open or create more than one image at time. Needless to say, this is slightly frustrating when you live inside these types of programs and need…

  • Town Names In RPGs

    I figured it out! I know what my biggest problem with RPGs is; despite wanting to love them so much and continue picking them up time and time again, I have so many issues! Town names! I have a hard enough time remembering all of the character names (something I’ve always had a problem with…

  • Video Game Club: “Final Fantasy VI” Thoughts #2

    I just got a chance to play another ~45 minutes or so in Final Fantasy VI, and wanted to give everyone an update on my thoughts. Judging from the comments when I last talked about the game, a lot of you are interested in (and currently are!) playing along with the game, too, and want…

  • “Secret of Mana” on Virtual Console

    Just because a new podcast episode came out yesterday, it doesn’t mean that I can’t keep writing blog entries! I’m still here for another couple days! We heard about it hitting the Japanese Virtual Console last month, so we knew it was on its way. That doesn’t change the fact that a SquaresoftEnix game coming…

  • Conversation 004: What’s Going On Right Now & An Old Discussion About Video Game Magazines and Import Game Coverage

    It’s that time of the month, again! We’re pretty much on-schedule, and here to hit you back with another podcast episode. Since I’m getting married next week, and therefore all parties involved are pretty busy right now and will be out of town (Hell, Jeff’s down in Virginia as I type this for AnimeUSA), we…
