  • How I Began Street Fighting

    With Street Fighter IV out this week, those that follow along here on the site and podcast should (rightfully so) expect a lot of talk about it coming your way. Before I even get to talking about the new game, I thought it might be interesting to take a look back and figure out just…

  • Lack Of (Modern) Literacy On YouTube

    The title should come as absolutely no surprise, but I’ve rofled enough to myself in the last couple of minutes that I figured I would share these with you. No, this is not a follow-up to my viewpoints on my own feedback/responses/criticism on YouTube, so don’t worry that I’m bombarding you with more of that…

  • Xbox Live Experience: Classic “TMNT” With Friends

    Yesterday, our buddy Kevin coordinated a cross-country gaming date for the evening over Twitter. Myself, Andrew, Kevin, and our buddy Ryan all joined up for a little play-through of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles classic arcade game over Xbox Live (10:30 pm eastern time, 7:30 pm western time). Seems like an easy enough recipe for…

  • Conversation 006: We’re Back With A Discussion Of The Games We Played In 2008

    Surprise, surprise! The three of us got together this weekend and recorded episode six of the show, had a blast doing it, and are extremely happy to bring it to you so quickly. We are easing our way back into a normal schedule, and while we don’t have a standard Top 10 list this episode……

  • Top 10 PS2 Games I Own And Have Never Played

    I promised this way back on episode two of the podcast, and haven’t gotten around to tossing it together until today. I have finally put up my “Top 10 PS2 Games I Own And Have Never Played” over in the Top 10 Games section. I was thinking about also doing a similar list for the…

  • Search Referrals Across The World

    Following up a little bit on my post about rankings on Google a little bit, I just wanted to share another behind-the-scenes doo-diddy with Daizenshuu EX. I have always touted the site as a “global fandom” resource. The Japanese version of the DragonBall series is the sole version that can be (and is) appreciated throughout…

  • “Portal”: Best Multiplayer Game In Years…?

    Yes, you read that title correctly. Is Portal one of the best multiplayer games to come out in years? I know, I know. Portal is a single-player game. There is no “versus” mode and there is no co-operative campaign. How exactly is the game “multiplayer”, then? Let me explain how I played through the game,…

  • Prince of Persia: PC, DRM, DLC, ROFL

    You may have heard on the podcast several times that Andrew and I… well, we like easy games. We’re busy people, and hard games take up too much time in our crazy adult lives! To be fair, I don’t think either of us actually want complete cake-walks for games; rather, we want a gaming experience…

  • Problem Solved: Main Rig Working

    This was a happy weekend. You can review the situation for yourself in the blog post from last week, but long story short, I accidentally flipped the surge protector off with my main computer hooked up to it, and it wouldn’t boot after that. Thanks to a flurry of recommendations from personal friends as well…
