A friend of mine walks dogs for a janitor at Cacpom USA. She's supplied me with a lot of info in the past, all of which has been almost right sometimes. Anyway, she knows I like Mega Man, so she's been scouting around for info on next w...
This just in people, Eva Langoria but on a few pounds, but dear god, DON'T ASSUME THAT SHE GOT PREGNANT. This shit is too important to fool around with. This shit is ATOMIC. To say that this shit is "for real" is understatement. It's bigg...
Capcom is arguably the largest name in video game development ever. They have had a at least one hugely successful game on every major console since the NES (Neo Geo doesn't count). They have also been on the verge of bankruptcy more than...
The Wii has gotten a lot of high profile releases in the past few weeks. Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Soul Caliber Legends, Link's Crossbow Training, Zack and Wiki, and of course Super Mario Galaxy. It's sad to see these Prima-Donna...
So, the new GhostBusters movie is going to be a game, and as there is no universal game console format (yet) as there is with DVD, the games creator's must come in two seperate flavors, one for the PS3/360 and the other for the Wii/PS2. Can...
I can't wait until this song's almost unfathomable title becomes the next "Show me the Money" style cultural catch phrase. I want teenage girls, old ugly baby's momma's, and gay dudes everywhere to start thinking it's cool to ask their boy...
Like much of the internet's gamer population, I am suspicious, fearful, and in awe of this mysterious entity called "SurferGirl". Tristero's recent interview with the "girl" did little to quiet that sense of suspicion/fear/awe. Not since Lo...
Japan is all fucked up, and I love it. Last week the 360 out sold the PS3 due to the release Ace Combat 6. To me that makes absolutely no sense, yet it is awesome. This week, it's a game called "Musou" is pushing the PS3 ahead of the Wii a...
So even though I'm so hot for Mario Galaxy right now, I still bought not one but two new games today. The first was Contra 4, a game I've been waiting for since I first beat Contra 3 on the SNES. Yet, I haven't even played that yet. I was a...
I hated Mario 64. Everything about the 2D Mario's I had grown to love was chucked out the window with the advent of Mario's sell out cross over into the world of "3D exploring" and "analog movement". Mario 64 signaled the end of an era for ...
It was fairly easy to sum up Square/Enix last week (thought I sure was long winded about it). They are the Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest company. That's all they do. Even though their attempts at other types of games have sometimes been grea...
Resident Evil:Umbrella Chronicles just gain some credibility. I think that all RE fans were disappointed when they heard this game was once planned to play like RE4 on the Wii, but was instead changed to a on-rails shooter. Like a crappy re...
So our friends over at Kotaku have found a leak to a whole bunch of unfinished sprites of the HD remake of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Some of them look good, some of them look like crap. Regardless, two things remain true. 1) You sho...
For serious, this is super important. L-Block is leading in the finals of Gamefaqs annual character battle, going head to head Link, Cloud, and Snake. L-Block needs to win this shit! A vote for L-Block is a vote for the end of retarded cha...
It being the end of one of the most eventful years gaming ever, I thought it timely to use my finely honed "know it all skills" to make some 2008 predictions on the six biggest names in global gaming. Each week a different developer will ...
For those that don't know, No More Heroes is going to kick ass. From everything I've seen, this game will be the one true reason for Wii haters to start to change their minds. Mario Galaxy wont do it. If you've never like Mario games before...
This vid is... underwhelming. I love it, because I am a sucker for these characters. But really, it's not that great. If you are expecting something along the lines of those Ryu vs Scorpion vids, or those epic Super Mario world meets Lord o...
So, the interents are a little dry right now. Why don't we bitch about IGN? Here is a link to their recent write up on Capcom characters they think might end up in Super Smash Bros Brawl. It's pretty well written, but more importantly th...
Well, the numbers are in, and though it's nothing near Halo 3's millions in first day sales in the USA, Super Mario Galaxy was a definitive ass kicker in it's dash out the Japanese gate. With something around 130,000 units sold on the first...
8-Bit doesn't die. As a visual style, 8-Bit graphics continue to mean something to gaming culture. I think of 8-bit graphics as the video game equivilant to cubism. It's a style that may have started from artists' inability to do "bette...
There is so much weird about this list, I don't even know where to start. No Wii or PS3 games on it AT ALL, but a 360 games makes it. And the PS2 sequel to a Dreamcast fish-man pet sim is #1. Here's the full list. 01. [PS2] Seaman 2 (S...
If that title confused you, you're not alone. Even my cat is looking at me funny after that one. Let me explain. As many of you know, last month I won some stuff in a Mega Man character design contest. I owe a lot of that to the D-toid co...
It's rare that I buy four new games on the day they are released. But I have actually been anticipating Rondo of Blood for the PSP, Phoenix Wright 3, Mega Man ZX Advent, and Zak and Wiki for over a year now. All looked to be excellent games...
When I first got a Wii, my mind was racing with the endless possibilities the console had to offer. Sure, I was amazed with the Wii controls just like the rest of the world. But more than that, I was thrilled at the possibilities for a Ni...
The Wii is catching a lot of flack from game developers lately for not being hardcore enough. This of course begs the question, what is a "hardcore" game? Does it have to do with polygon counts? Or is it more related to depth, both in terms...
A while back, I entered a Mega Man character design contest over at Siliconera. Somehow I got lucky made it to the semi-finals. From there on the contest was decided by votes. The competition remained tight until the very end. Many memb...

I sent in the old Zeke the Plumber Matlocking the Smash Bros Dojo c-blog from a little while ago To premier Nitnendo news site GoNintendo.com. I actually sent it in a few times. But today, they finally wised up and posted it. Congrats Zeke...
I'm one of those people who actually loved Luigi's Mansion. It's not a perfect game. It was too short, and it got a little repetitive towards the end, and over all feels like the first half of an unfinished game. But the concept and gamepla...
Ok, I admit it. I lurk Nintendo news sites. In fact, I now even "work" for one. And I hadn't seen any of these Smash Bros vids anywhere. I think this may be the first they have been shown anywhere other than Gametrailers. Zeke started it ...

I'm an ex-reality show cast memeber, now social worker in a mental hospital, old enough to be your older brother, and in love with the video game.
