Thoughts about Fa

Read 'Thoughts about Fa'

I always feel pretty awful when I start writing a review or article, and end up ditching it in favor of a more current thought or game. What's even worse though is when I end up spending hours and hours...

The DS & I

Read 'The DS & I'

Among other things, this weekend was fantastic as I bought myself a Nintendo DS as a little 'birthday present to myself'. It may surprise you to hear that not all of us here are jet-setting billionaires with tissues made from...

Non-gaming notables at NextFest

Read 'Non-gaming notables at NextFest'

There was a lot about NextFest 2005 that I didn't get to address in my write-up, or even in the image gallery! Time to finish this drawn-out ordeal, so I can finally shelve the mountains of promotional paperwork thrust into...

Image Gallery Rampage

Read 'Image Gallery Rampage'

Longtime readers of this site know that the first web-based endeavor of ours was that of 'drunksaling', the practice of garage saling for videogames while imbibing of one thing or another (and we have certain members of the esteemable Red...

I hate email.

Read 'I hate email.'

I do. (The following is a long-winded, non-gaming related rant that sadly, has nowhere else to go.) For years I've been using Eudora, and I've become increasingly frustrated by it. At first it was sheer annoyance, a problem with virus...

NextFest

Read 'NextFest'

Phew. What a weekend. Utterly exhausting! I think over the last two weeks, unitdaisy and myself have been busier than just about all of April and May combined. Just one of our activities entailed heading to Wired's NextFest, which was...

Get Powered Up in Chicago

Read 'Get Powered Up in Chicago'

If you're in Chicago on Sunday (that's June 26th), I highly recommend heading to the Empty Bottle to see bitrock extraordinaires The Power-Ups. We're quite fond of them and their NES covers (as you may have previously read) and this...

WipEout

Read 'WipEout'

I was inagurated into the world of WipEout today with WipEout 3 and I'll be damned: 1) I wasn't aware The Designers Republic were involved with WipEout. What haven't they done? 2) I miss the days when you could pop...

Help save my friend's dog

Read 'Help save my friend's dog'

No, this isn't some sort of joke. My good friend Erik has run into a bad string of luck, the most severe being that his dog Roxy has just been diagnosed with cancer. It's possible she'll pull through, but only...

When we got back from the garage sales...

Read 'When we got back from the garage sales...'

...look what was waiting for me! Wow that was quick. I ordered it late on the 14th and it arrived roughly a week later. This (not so) little book made it halfway across the world in that time! If you...

I calls 'em likes I sees 'em

Read 'I calls 'em likes I sees 'em'

In lieu of actually ... oh, finishing the site migration or posting a Psychonauts review*, I've been frantically working on stuff that pays the bills and fretting over these E3 press reports. So, why not put some of my knowledge...

The suit was ugly!

Read 'The suit was ugly!'

And by suit, I of course mean site. This redesign has been in the works for the last few weeks, but was mostly provoked by a slightly inebriated attempt at redesigning the forum. It was then that I realized that...

To play, or not to play - you tell me.

Read 'To play, or not to play - you tell me.'

Out of what can only be called a severe case of masochism, I Gamefly'ed Scrapland some time ago, and until recently it just collected dust while I played Psychonauts and toiled away on work. So on Friday, I was too...

Flashback

Read 'Flashback'

It's been a very, very busy week. I've been working on some site changes, some stupid, some necessary, some I should have done a while ago. One of these updated features you'll find in this week's update: the Game On...

The Game Writers.

Read 'The Game Writers.'

Well, that's one article cleaned out of the closet. The Game Makers review is an article I've been kicking around for approximately the past two months, and it probably shows. I'm just glad it's all wrapped up, for better or...
