Time to Step it up Big Boy 2008-06-12 11:55:14 It appears that some of us who hopped on (get it…) the Wii Fit craze are not giving 110% like we should. So no more Mr Nice Balance Board, and friendly generic trainer for us, now we have fitness guru Jillian Michaels to shame and inspire us to be more beautiful. Read more:Big Boy
Speaking of Rock Band… 2008-06-11 21:14:30 If you purchased some of last weeks Jimmy Buffet song offerings for your rocking pleasure you may have noticed that they were new recordings done for just for Rock Band. In fact ol’ Jimmy went so far as to throw props to Rock Band itself in his song “Volcano.” Now I wouldn’t have thought the [...] Read more:Speaking
Xbox 360 The New Home for JRPG’s? 2008-06-10 17:21:06 It would appear that in it’s ever futile bid to woo the Japanese gamer market Microsoft is once again trying to wow the Nipponese populace with shiny new RPG’s. Sure there have been a few released in the systems lifespan thus far (Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, etc.) and some were from big names in the [...] Read more:Xbox
Wii Fit Time 2008-05-20 11:32:23 Well it looks like today or tomorrow is the big day, depending on what street date you local retail establishments are following. All in all I’m pretty psyched about this new genre of active active gaming for your body and mind that the Big N has been pushing. Read more:Wii
Must Play: Dodge Quest 2008-05-06 18:13:21 In one of the best and most quizzical uses of Advergaming, Dodge
has created a Dragon Quest
-alike game in which you must buy a Dodge vehicle to win the heart of your flower-shop sweetheart. This is the most fun you’ve had on the web since “You Have to Burn the Rope.”

Did they say Splatterhouse?! 2008-04-22 20:41:03 I just want to take this moment to thank the Heavens, beyond the everyday blessings I’ve received, one more has recently been revealed to me… an updated version of Splatterhouse. I love pretty much all video games, and there are several franchises that hold a special place in my heart. But one that has been [...]

EA Loves the MicroTrans’ 2008-03-26 18:42:30 In a move that should surprise no one, EA has decided to milk… I mean provide their fine customers a chance to enhance their purchase of Battlefield: Bad Company with a selection of several additional weapons via the various digital marketplaces. It’s common knowledge that EA, Namco and really just about all the big boys [...]
Here I am… 2008-03-19 11:56:59 I know, I know. You’re all wondering where I’ve been this past week or so. Playing a boat load of games maybe? Reading “How to Blog about games for idiots” perchance? Maybe working on my own design doc for the next great game? No… I had to have a bunch of dental work done. Not [...]
Tecmo Japan Pulls an EA US 2008-06-17 23:04:03 So word around the translated inter-webs shows that not only is humble Itagaki San hitting Tecmo where it hurts (wallets), but that basically all their employees have suddenly grown some stones and are filing a similar suit.
As you may or may not recall EA had some similar issues raping their employees of their labored hours [...] Read more:Japan

Blizzard Splash Page Mystery Solved! 2008-06-25 12:15:42 I just wanted to let everyone know that I have solved the Blizzard

Who is that company you ask? Easy… McDonalds! Clearly this is a game [...] Read more:Mystery

Secret Blizzard Project? 2008-06-23 12:03:07 So I caught wind of Blizzard
’s homepage recently being updated with a new splash page via an article on Kotaku. Being as how I work for a web design company for my day job, i decided to do a little snooping at their source code (the referenced CSS file) to see what I could see.

Blizzard Splash Page Mystery Revealed (4 reelz) 2008-06-28 09:12:22 Perhaps my hunch about the McDees/Grimace crossover title was off by a smidge, although it was equally Hellish in nature. It appears that the big non-surprise was… Diablo 3!
But in all honesty did anyone have any doubt? I mean Blizzard
didn’t get to be one of the biggest players in the PC gaming pantheon by [...] Read more:Mystery

That was it? 2008-07-22 20:52:02 So E3 came and went and like I expected there was little fanfare. Aside from Microsoft trying to muscle in on Nintendo’s casual market the only real surprise was the multi-platform release of FFXIII. So why did this years show continue E3’s downward spiral? For a show that is supposed to be the home of [...]
Word to Yer Moms, M$ Came to Drop Bombs! 2008-07-14 18:19:28 And they just kept dropping, and dropping. So it looks like Microsoft is trying to continue their trade show dominance by once again blowing away the general press public with not only all the confirmations we were hoping for, but also a big Square-Enix jawdropper with FFXIII.
Yes, Sony fanboys can begin their aria of lament [...] Read more:Bombs
E3 Coming, Prepare for Wave of Meh… 2008-07-14 12:18:21 Back from vacation, and just in time to begin regurgitating all the news that falls out of E3’s sloppy maw. I saw the biggest new release for our household 2 weeks ago, as the second heir to the Thunderpudd Kingdom was born. But between the requirements of my fatherly duties (and doodies) I will be [...]

Harmonix Coffers Getting Prepared for Flood of our Cashola 2008-09-04 18:09:30 Every one’s very excited about Harmonix’s confirmation of the option for Rock Band 1’s transferal of tracks to Rock Band 2. For a mere five bucks they will allow us to rip the tracks off the Rock Band 1 disc for use in the sequel. This may all sound well and good, but I can’t [...]
