What I Hate About Previews

What I Hate About Previews

Tweet I hated on reviews last time and I think it’s time to take a step backwards.  A step closer to root of the problem.  The reason I bought such shitty games as Advent Rising and Spiderman 3.  I’m talking about previews.  Previews are an essential instrument for video game enthusiasts, but...

What I Hate About Video Game Reviews

Tweet I must sarcastically paraphrase a comment about one of my previous editorials, unfortunately without the necessary faggish tone of voice.  “I hate editorials because they are expressions of other people’s opinions.”  That doesn’t read as hilariously as it would look when I...

The PlayStation Killer

The PlayStation Killer

Tweet An article just posted yesterday on the Telegraph puts it as plain as you can get it; A father stabbed his partner to death after she threw him out of their bedroom so she could spend the nights playing on a Sony PlayStation Console.

Women in Gaming: Turning Myth into Reality

Video Games Live: A Gamer’s Dream Concert

Tweet Let’s face it, being a band geek and a gamer tends to go hand-in-hand. Let’s take a cross section of the staff here. I am a percussionist (a technical term for “I hit shit and make loud noises”). Blake and Caleb, both started on trumpet and then graduated to tuba. Ammon is...

What I Hate About Video Games

Tweet I caused some tetchiness when I said I hate PC gamers.  Imagine that, PC gamers owning a computer, having internet access, and believing they can make a difference from their keyboard.  As a caveat, let me explain my creative process.  I rarely write my biweekly editorial more than a couple of hours...

Re-Release is the New Black.

Re-Release is the New Black.

Tweet Re-releasing games is nothing new. Sometimes it’s just something as simple as a re-press with a new edition number on the spine of the CD or DVD. Other times, it’s a full re-hash, with new graphics, features, materials and more. Despite all the additions, it’s still the same game,...

The Hangover: SXSWi

The Hangover: SXSWi

Tweet Minutes after picking up our SXSWi badges, my buddy and I headed to the Hilton, where some friends of his were already enjoying some drinks. Though the service sucked and the place was packed, it served as a great kick off to the evening. Though I would have a few beers, this would be the one (and...
