I Always Knew Gnomes with Grappling Hooks Would Be Outlawed

I think it’s no surprise that I love Rocketcat games. I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve put out so far, and that trend hasn’t stopped with Hook Worlds. (I realize now I never wrote a review of Super Quick Hook. It’s fantastic. Buy that too.) Basically, Hook Worlds, for a cheap cost, takes the gameplay of the […]

Jeff Bridges as the Wizard

Tron: Legacy was a movie with three dimensional graphics and also had Jeff Bridges being a wizard. That’s really all I can say about it. I’ll try to elaborate, but seriously, that is the selling points for the Tron. Basically, CG Young Jeff Bridges disappears, and then his son goes to find him, and ends […]

Seriously, Why Wouldn’t You Always Use The Robit?

I really liked Costume Quest, and I don’t care who knows it! Thus, when I heard that Costume Quest was having some Christmas-themed DLC, well, I kind of wanted in. So I spent my money and bought Grubbins on Ice. The DLC does a couple of smart things. For one, the DLC has save points. […]

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like General Gift Giving Holiday Time

Man, the Chrissymas is almost here! I’ve already received an awesome Festivus gift from Sheana, for one. As of this writing, the Mike and Ikes still exist… but barely. I’m also going to Droid’s F’in Christmas Party tonight, and I managed to wrap up all my gifts… I’m also finishing up all my preparations for […]

I like the quiet. The tranquility… and… I take the occasional hit contract on the side.

Last week, I suggested I take Cara to a movie for her birthday. However, I made a tactical error, and assumed that Tron came out last week. It didn’t. It comes out today. We thus had to pick another film, and ended up going to see Red. I’m really glad we did, as I wouldn’t […]

An Open Letter To Whatever Is Broadcasting on 87.7 FM in Cape

Dear Whatever is Broadcasting on 87.7 FM in Cape, Fuck you. You cannot even begin to imagine how much rage I have at you. If I could injure you, I probably would. Every day I scream at you. Every day. Did you know that 87.7 is the only setting at which my FM transmitter can […]

The Company May Be Bad, But The Campaign Is Not

I recently played through the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 single player on 360! “But wait,” you may say, “don’t you own Bad Company 2 on the PC? I remember you mentioning something about the multiplayer.” You are totally correct, I do own it on PC, yet I rented it on 360 to play the single […]

Mediocre is the Only Appropriate Word.

Medal of Honor is hell of mediocre. I mean, I don’t even know what to say about it, really. It was mostly a game of shootdudes or guyshoot, but was very, very vaguely based on reality. You play as these “tier one operatives” who have unlocked beards or something, and you play levels that seem […]

Art Game Alert: One Chance

Have you played One Chance yet? Go ahead and give it a go, then we’ll talk about it. I’ll wait. You played it? Good. On the Jick and Skully show, Jick said that he thought the way that the developer actively doesn’t want you to play the game a second time is “really cool.” Or […]

Know What Platforming Action Reminds Me Of? Cool Ranch Doritos.

Do you remember Yaris? Man, what an abysmal game. How about Doritos Dash of Destruction? Passable, but not great. These tie-in free XBLA games have not had a good track record. However, I’m here to tell you that Doritos Crash Course is actually fairly fantastic, and totally worth a download and quick playthrough. It’ll only […]
