Today was quite the interesting one in the gaming community, and was something I actually wasn’t aware of till just a few weeks ago: Free Video Game Day. It functions much like Free Comic Book Day does for, well, the comic book community. The different is FCBD is sponsored by the comic book industry, directly […]
Well, looks like tomorrow, May 8th, is the launch day for the second expansion to Destiny II. Funny, I forgot it was actually coming, considering how little I get around to playing Destiny 2 anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I actually really do enjoy the game, but it just doesn’t have the ability to draw […]
In a strange mistake by Microsoft, this video was released slightly early, back around the 18th or 19th. It’s since been unlisted, which doesn’t stop me from showing it to you now, so, here we are! Not to give away the ending too early, but this is one of the best months in a very […]
A new month, a new set of free games on via Games With Gold on Xbox. I don’t know why I enjoy covering these – I guess it’s funny, to me, to see just how random the game selections are each month. Besides, it gets hits, so it’s whatever. Right, you know the drill, let’s […]
I’ve been letting this one run its course before I tossed out my comments, but in thinking about it this is something that I just have to weigh in on, given how deeply it’s tied into the very nature of YouTube, and the Retrogaming scene. I love giving social commentary, so this is about as […]
I’m not one to care too much for speed runs in games – while there are ardent followers of these record attempts, I find them an interesting curiosity at best. That being said, the ways in which players figure out nuances of the games in order to shave off fractions of seconds and achieve new […]
Time to go over the March 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold. This looks like it’s going to be a… fun.. month? Oh who am I kidding, this is one of the more strange ones. Let’s just get into it. Okay, for the Xbox One we have Trials of the Blood Dragon and Superhot. There.. […]
A few months back while browsing YouTube, I found a video of a segment from the game “Sam & Max” where the two titular characters are in a support group style meeting for obsolete electronics. The group, known as the Computer Obsolescence Prevention Society, or C.O.P.S is a quirky little group, made up of an […]
Time for another episode in the same style as Spider-Man or the 2006 Halloween episodes – this one is another one split between gameplay footage and a review, and some live action storytelling with James and his friend Mike Matei. In this case, the game being covered is “Bugs Bunny’s Birthday Blowout,” a game released […]
I’m a little late getting this one up – it’s already January, but this wouldn’t be the first time I was a little behind on getting to covering these. Right, let’s cut straight to this months 4 games: Van Helsing III, ZOMBI, Tomb Raider: Underworld, and Army of Two. On The Xbox One we have […]
Time for something completely different in my “what’s to come” kinds of entries. Instead of talking about my plans, I’m instead going to, by request, discuss what my friend Prince Watercress has planned for 2018. Yes, he actually requested that I write this article to help promote what he does. People who follow what I […]
Something that I’ve been wanting to discuss for quite some time is the phenomena of hype being built up around seemingly anything and everything new. Whenever you have something new coming up, you hear about it nonstop, and often times, in retrospect, you have to ask: why did anyone care in the first place? It […]
Today, November 7th, marks the release day for the Xbox One X, a console I’ve been waiting years for. Specification wise, the machine is a powerhouse, to be sure – currently, it’s the “most powerful” game console available, and honestly I want it. That simple. I want to go out and buy one today. Well, […]
Ah, Nintendo. The most darling of gaming companies to most any gamer, especially one born between about 1980 and 1995. Nintendo brought gaming back in the United States after the video game crash, and it never really went away. While I’ve, rather hilariously, had people in the past at places I’ve worked seem surprised to […]
October always seems to go fast – far quicker than any other month. Next thing you know, bam! It’s November, the beginning of the dreaded “holiday season.” Thankfully, I won’t have to deal with the holiday season as directly as I used to, which hopefully will allow me more time to cover things I haven’t […]
