So Jim Sterling wrote something or other about whatever the other day, some thing about girls and games and there was a video. Oh wait, no; it was a video he made. It was everyone else who wrote ... more
One of the first memories I have as a child, literally one of the very first things about my existence as a human being on this planet I can remember, is corn. I remember eating corn at my Nana's... more
What would my life be like if I wasn't married? If I didn't have a little screaming brood running around fucking shit up in my house every day? If she didn't slam the spacebar key while I was pla... more

The movie industry really sucks these days. Hardly anything groundbreaking ever comes out, and the odd film worth watching is usually ignored by the movie going public. Instead, sequels and rem... more
This is a newer title, so I was kind of wary about writing about it. This is supposed to be a series more about obscure Wii titles, and Kirby games are anything but. The reception for this game... more

No, my issues aren't about corn. I am definitely pro corn. If I have learned one thing this week, it's that gamers issues matter; there are now a lot of us. Too many to properly pigeonhole or ... more
I have been hopelessly addicted to EVE online the past week. You always hear about it, maybe you download the trial and decide you are too "lost in space" to get a grip on things, but this tim... more
Today is the twentieth anniversary of Ecco the Dolphin, a severely underrated Sega Genesis classic which has been lost quite literally in the tides of time. Ecco is one of my favorite games to ... more

I hate to be so pessimistic, but right out of the gate, I had my doubts about Lollipop Chainsaw. And by doubts, I mean I thought it was a fucking idiotic concept wrapped up in a paper thin facade... more
Who hasn't sat there and imagined at one point in their life, what kind of game they would like to see on the market? When I was a kid, my stupid cousins and I (yes, also stupid) would imagine wh... more
