Photos from my nerdy wedding!

I got married last week! :D It was only a little bit nerdy, but since Josh and I both love video games, we obviously had to throw some references to our favorite hobby in there.  For starters, we had an Undertale-themed cake! I th...

I learned the hard way not to hookshot D.Va while playing as Roadhog. She jumped out of her suit after I reeled it in, and then it exploded and killed my entire team :(

I am Setsuna is a return to the classic JRPG formula

As a big fan of Chrono Trigger, and JRPGs in general, I was excited to try out Square Enix's upcoming I am Setsuna. Though the story and themes are completely different, comparisons between the two are immediately obvious when looking ...

We got a quick look at Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End a couple months back, but the newest trailer is much more comprehensive, giving each character new and old ample screen time and explaining all of the vari...

Review: Angry Video Game Nerd II: ASSimilation

I may not be the biggest fan of the Angry Video Game Nerd, but I've seen enough of the web series to get a good idea of what the Nerd is all about. I enjoy some aspects of it, such as his wild facial expressions and his critiques of older g...
