Today I went with Josh to meet a friend at a coin-op arcade downtown. It was SO FUN!
Back in the day, I was an arcade junkie. My job in high school was right next to an arcade, so I was in there before shifts, after shifts, and during my break. Marvel [...]

AWESOME SPACE
Posted in Awesomeness, Video Games on October 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
You guys – I just started playing this week’s new XBox 360 Release, Dead Space, and:
IT IS SO AWESOME.
I can’t even describe it to you. You just have to play it.
What I can say is that the UI integration is seamless, well thought out, and beautiful. The controls are remarkably intuitive, the sounds are incredible, [...]
Contra III: The Alien Wars

I was having a retro morning and I remembered this beautiful game from my childhood. This was an awesome game. In the video above you can see my favorite stage. I love it because the level design is fantastic and the music is way ahead of its time.
This guy runs through [...]
Awesome 8-Bit Art

Craig sent me this link to an incredible 8-Bit art show. These were my favorite pictures. For those of you who never played video games, the first is a picture of Link, with Ganon lurking in the background. Awesome. The second is a portrait of Pac-Man.
Operation Darkness

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while… what’s wrong with you? Just kidding. Actually if you’re one of those people, thank you for being cool. You probably already know then that I wrote a bad review of Operation Darkness whenever the demo came out on X-Box LIVE. Well, I’ve changed my mind.
There are [...]
Too Human Demo: Absolute @#%#$@!!!
Posted in Video Games on July 23, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I played the Too Human demo yesterday and I have to say, I have never been so underwhelmed by a video game in my life.
1. Absurd character design. The lead character looks like a douche. I want him to die.
2. Flawed and non-intuitive control mechanism. Seriously.
3. Exceptionally poor camera control and camera mechanics. Tap LB [...]

This game is going to be so awesome. I can’t wait!
Eternally Boring
Posted in Video Games on June 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I had a couple of days off this week, so instead of being responsible, I decided to veg out on a video game. Since I’ve exhausted the supply of good rentals from my local Blockbuster, I chose a quaint little game called Eternal Sonata.
Okay: What’s with JRPGs? They suck. They all have these stupid long [...]
Spider House & NCsoft
Posted in Awesomeness, Miscellaneous, Video Games on May 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Okay, this is hilarious. So I quit my job at Spider House the other day, right? And my reasons were because I just couldn’t work the dish shift, and that’s all they had available. I didn’t really care about the work, it was the constant bending over. You can read my other post for more.
So anyway, [...]
For Sex, Press “A” Repeatedly

Note: No link in this article leads to anything of a pornographic or violent nature. Most links are to Wikipedia articles.
Individual video games have had their controversial moments, mostly due to negative associations made by the press. But no series of games has screamed, “Conservative religious activists HATE ME!” louder than Grand Theft Auto.
Until a [...]
