Posting from an iPhone app…?!
Just testing out the iPhone app to allow me to post to the blog wherever I am. I gotta say, this is pretty sweet. To give you some actual gaming related content, I learned today that Shining Force CD is actually an enhanced remake of the first two Shining Force: Gaiden games on Game Gear.…

Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega Master System)
So I have a bunch of Wii points sitting around while I wait for Shining Force II to eventually come to Virtual Console, and I figured I would blow 500 of them on a little game staring a blue hedgehog. … which is funny, considering I already own nearly all of them either via their…

Conversation 002: Backwards Compatibility & The Top Ten Games We’ve Never Played
I told you I’d get this done before Otakon! OK, so we’re leaving for the convention later today, but that’s still on time… That’s right, the second episode of our show is all up and ready for listening. We had an awesome time with this one, and I think that’s reflected in the content of…

Episode 2 On Its Way
Hey, everyone. Just a little status update for ya’… We recorded episode two of the show over the weekend, and it is indeed in the editing stages. It should clock in at just under two hours. Personally, I think we had a pretty amazing discussion regarding backwards compatibility, and I even came around to a…

No more convenience store arcade machines
“Where’d you learn to shoot like that…?” “7-11.” It recently occurred to me how the above joke would make little-to-no-sense to the vast majority of today’s younger gamers. Sure, it’s halfway explained to the viewer in the previous movie, but even still… I guess they could process the statement as meaning that there are lots…

E3 Press Conferences: 5 Questions
So yesterday and today were the press conferences / media summits / whatever they are for Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony (in that order). As to be expected, I followed along with all the live-blogging, checked out the audio/video feeds later on, and read as much as I could possibly read. After having a little bit…

Random DBZ Image: #001
I’ll probably do this from time to time… mostly because it amuses me. And that’s really all that matters in this world. Caption, anyone?

When a man can’t even spend his Virtual Space Money, all he can do is blog.
Wow! Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive response to the first episode of our podcast, everyone! That really makes me look even more forward to recording and releasing the second episode. Until then, look forward to some regular blog postings (kinda like this one), and maybe even a couple other special things here and there. Speaking…

Conversation 001: Introductions & Our Mutual Top 10 Games
We have finally done it! The first episode of our podcast is available for download! While we apologize in advance for some of the IE-only display problems, we simply could not wait on debuting the show any longer. Some random pages may also be found in a state of near-completion. Myself, Jeff, and Andrew have…

Top Ten Pokémon
Shut up. I felt like it. Despite saying in my initial entry that I would be writing “semi-professional but non-corporate” material, I am going completely against that with a list of my Top Ten Pokémon. Wouldn’t this fit in better on that new video games podcast with conversations and top ten lists? Somehow I doubt…
