The Switch is certainly the hot system we all expected it to be; reports are that the console has sold better for its launch than any other system in Nintendo history, and some say that it is going to outsell the Wii, the top selling console in history, as time passes. Let’s take this in […]
I’m somewhat of a purist when it comes to classic gaming. In particular, when you get to older, pre-HDMI game consoles like the Super Nintendo, the Sega Genesis, or even the Playstation 2 and Wii, I connect those consoles only to an old CRT TV. You know, the big heavy TV’s most everyone above the […]
In part 1 of this article series, I covered the general idea of sports, especially football, being so commonplace that fans find it odd when people don’t seem to care, but it’s perfectly fine and normal for people, well, not to care. Read Part 1 Here! In this post I wanted to cover more of […]
Today is Super Bowl Sunday. Oh wait, they don’t like it when you say Super Bowl, so it’s “The Big Game” day! Right, a day where the most boring, most over hyped event ever happens. Yeah, as you could tell from that opening line, and the title of the post, I just don’t give a […]
Ah, what gaming YouTuber doesn’t eventually do a video on this game at some point in their career? In my case, that time is clearly now. Bible Adventures was Christian Bible themed game developed by Wisdom Tree for the NES. It’s idea is pretty straightforward – take some stories from the Bible and make a […]
15 years ago, on November 15th, 2001, Microsoft released its entry into the home gaming console scene, the Xbox. Based on computer hardware of the era, and using the DirectX game libraries of Microsoft Windows (hence the project name, DirectX-box) this powerful console filled a hole that was left following Sega ending production of the […]
When I wrote earlier about the announcement of the Switch, I said that it was “Exactly what I thought it was going to be.” I didn’t quite explain it well, which happens when I first get writing about something spur-of-the-moment. I thought I should explain myself better. We all knew the NX was going to […]
Okay, enough of me being excited that I guessed exactly what the Switch would be, let’s take an actual look at the promotional video Nintendo put out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI So, what do we see here? Let’s break it down. The video starts off with a guy playing a Zelda game at home, on his […]
Today Nintendo finally made a proper announcement on the project previously known as Nintendo NX – It’s now known as Nintendo Switch. Not the best name, but not as bad as Wii and WiiU. Seriously Nintendo, hire a new naming person. Anyway, this comes after over a year of rumors, reported into leaks, and more. […]
A perfect follow up to the last article would certainly be posting the entire interview between Digital Homicide and Jim Sterling. Digital Homicide, the ultimate producer of terrible games on Steam, and JIm Sterling, the ultimate critic of terrible games on Steam. A match made in hell, to be sure. This interview was recorded in […]
Today marked the release of the final Destiny expansion, The Rise of Iron. Yes, that’s right, the final expansion. That “10 year plan” they spoke of apparently only went for 3, going in to 4 years. Their next plan is to release a full on new game, currently spoken of as “Destiny 2” and to […]
Alright, here we go with the September Games with Gold lineup! This time we’re looking at one new release and one more recent release on the Xbox One, and on the Xbox 360 side, and early classic and a more modern racing powerhouse round out the mix. Xbox One Earthlock- Festival of Magic: Earthlock is […]
These days, if you want to watch a TV show, or a movie, or heck, even play a game, you can pretty much do it on any device you wish. Your computer, game console, phone, and even sometimes directly your TV itself can access YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, and other services for immediate streaming of videos. […]
As is always the case with every single new thing ever, the rumors continue to fly about Nintendo’s next console, the NX. Now, I’ve already heard that it is supposedly going to be more powerful than anything else on the market, and somehow be able to run other games in their native code (I call […]
So, Nintendo rolled out the first promotional video for the NES Classic Edition, and it’s a nice little throw back to the good old days, even including the “Now you’re playing with power” slogan from the late 80’s and early 90’s that worked so well for them. I’m still optimistic about the plug-and-play system, as […]
