Ah, the year 2000, a time when the Dreamcast was showing us what the next generation would bring, the Playstation 2 was the hot new thing, the Xbox was still in development, and online gaming was in its infancy. Things have come a long way in the past 16 years, but at the same time, […]
Sunday afternoon, while killing some time at a local mall, I wrote up a post on Pokemon Go. It wasn’t anything special, but it was a post nonetheless about something amazingly popular at the moment. I had some thoughts to share, and well, felt like sharing them – a mostly positive post from the point […]
Pokemon Go, yet another one of those love it or hate it kind of things. Me? I’m positive to it, but indifferent. Being a Windows Phone user, my phone, needless to say, doesn’t have a version for it, nor are any of my android devices capable of running the game, meaning, I’m pretty much out […]
Captain Skyhawk is one of those odd games that many people seemed to have, but I can’t quite figure out why. It has nothing special about it at first glance, It looks like a flight simulator – shooter style game much like anything from the 80’s, but with a somewhat unique viewpoint, especially for a […]
Heads up: this is a rather disjointed rant. Get over it. I play video games to have fun, relax, and enjoy myself. It’s my hobby, something I do because it pleases me. When I play a game, I expect to have a challenge, sure, but I do expect that challenge to be fair, to make […]
Wow, I’m a little late for this one aren’t I? Read the previous article if you need to know why, but that’s not the point. The point is, as always, new month, new set of free games with an active Xbox Live Gold Membership. Comments this month are.. something else. People are constantly complaining about […]
Has it really been almost a week since the last post? That’s strange for me, now, for sure, but there is good reason! Dominantly, Anime Blues Con 6! Oh yes, as stated in the post last week, I indeed did go to the convention on Saturday and had an amazing time – more on that […]
This Saturday, July 2nd, I will be at Anime Blues Con 6 here in Memphis, Tennessee, to host my panel for this year, entitled “So You Want To Be a Video Game Collector.” This will be the 3rd year I will have presented at Anime Blues Con, and also be the first year which I […]
For seemingly as long as there have been gaming consoles, there have been console wars. Much like the battle between the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 today, in the past there have been console after console battling it out for dominance of the market. In the late 80’s into the early 90’s, Nintendo had […]
World War One, by all accounts I’ve heard, would be the closest thing to “Hell on Earth” that has ever happened in human history. In many ways, it was the first true “modern” war, and in an equal number of ways was the last “traditional” war. The Verdun video game is based on the events […]
One of the more interesting announcements this E3 was a custom controller design and build service being offered by Microsoft for the Xbox One. For about $15 more than the price of a standard off the shelf controller, you can have one custom built using a color scheme you select, as well as, for an […]
Hey, look, a click bait title! No, I haven’t sold out, I’ve got a point in this, which will (hopefully) make sense as you read. E3 2016 is over, and I, like so many other gamers, are looking over the fallout of it, as we do every year, to see what to make of the […]
E3 2016 has already been quite a bit of excitement, with announcements we all expected combined with some that are coming totally out of left field. So far I haven’t written much of anything about it simply due to me waiting for the bulk of the announcements I would care about (namely Sony and Microsoft) […]
Many gamers felt the Games with Gold offerings in May 2016 were sub par. Even I felt they were rather hit and miss, but I never turn down a chance for free games, and I always look forward to what the next month will offer – you never know when a random game will become […]
UK based YouTube Channel “Xbox On” uploaded a short video I found relatively interesting; at least, interesting enough to write about here, where they list 36 facts about the Xbox 360 game console. Now, honestly, this number is an exaggeration. There are maybe 10 main facts, if even that many, with various ancillary facts related […]
