There’s a growing trend that is starting to get me a little worried: downloadable content. DLC is both a boon and a bane in my eyes for video games. On one hand DLC can extend the life of a game beyond it’s initial scope usually for a modest price, but it can also alienate a [...]

After watching numerous people stream their video games via justin.tv I decided that I wanted to do so as well. While I wish I had a beefier computer, and some more equipment (probably a mixer board) I slowly started getting the hang of it. First I needed to pick up a capture device and at [...]

Who loves laspes in updates more than I do? Anyone? Anyhoo I figured it has been long enough since my last update and to check in. I recently celebrated a birthday and picked up Final Fantasy Tactics A2 with a gift card. Being the Tactics veteran that I am, I figured I’d begin a campaign [...]

I try to refrain from small updates, but this one is worthy. Final Fantasy XIII is coming to Xbox 360. Holy fucking shit. I may not need to buy a PS3 now. Fuck yeah.

Leave it to Blizzard to come up with an April Fool’s joke that just about breaks your heart. It would totally rock to play as a bard in WoW, although I doubt the Guitar Hero mechanics would actually work. ^^. At least not with as much valuable screen real-estate the fret-bar takes up. Nevertheless, it [...]

Recently Sega produced/made games haven’t been all that and it appeared that Sega was a mere shadow of its former self. With Viking Sega appears to be back on the right track, even with some minor faults. Viking is a mix of Mark of Kri, and Kingdom Under Fire, that is to say that the [...]

You know when you put a game down and then forget about it for, oh, I dunno … 2 years? Well I found my copy of Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap the other day and remembered how I still hadn’t finished the game even though my save was at the final boss. Well today I [...]

So it appears that the grand-daddy of money-sinks is coming to XBLA. That’s right, my once beloved Magic: The Gathering Online is coming to rob us of our moniez. Well, actually I probably won’t be participating in MTGO on XBLA for the same reason I stopped playing MTGO once it stopped beta testing. I’m not [...]

This has been an interesting week. Tuesday being a “holiday” caused work to be ridiculously boring. I did however make the best of it and tracked down a copy of Persona 3 “used.” A collector had traded in all of his PS2 games and the staff at this particular Gamestop didn’t see the need to [...]
