Wii Don’t Get It

It’s just too easy to make fun of Wii. Wii’ve already done it, and so has the whole world.
In written form, Wii looks kind of interesting, almost intriguing. But what about out there in the real world? What is it going to sound like?
You go to buy the Wii…
You: I need a Wii
Store person: […]

Revolution’s Real Name: Wii

After a lot of speculation (and perhaps hopeful thinking on the half of Revolution fans), Nintendo has finally come out and announced the final name of their next generation console. It will not, as I would have been perfectly fine with, remain as the Revolution, a name that I thought pretty accurately represented all […]

EA’s Probst A Sugah Daddy

No one ever really questions that executives make a lot of money, it’s kind of a given that once your job title gets replaced by three letter codes that your bank account squeals with glee. I try really hard not to get jealous, or to cry, when the annual salary of a CEO could […]

Prey Super Trailer Worth a Watch

I stood there giggling in the midst of the San Jose Convention Center as footage from 3D Realms impressive new FPS game hit the big screen. Prey. We’re talking upside down, backwards, bows and arrows, big guns, and more ‘asplosions than a Steven Seagal movie. To my delight, the ’super trailer’ (what, […]

ebay Adventures: Floppies!

I’m not much of a handheld gamer when it comes down to it. Not because I don’t like them, but more that when I’m out and about, it’s for a purpose, a sort of levelling up real life style. But, for hypothetical scenario purposes, assuming that I did have a decent […]

eBay Adventures: Link Lights Up My Life

You know when you go to frat parties, malls, or even the local corner pub and they all seem to have some sort of eye-burningly bright neon signs proclaiming their product and past time loyalties? Well now you can reel in all the gaming hotties you please with this (surprisingly) neat looking fluorescent sign.
Billed […]

Quest to Find WoW Replacement: Failed

After much surfing, reading, downloading, trying, and disappointment, I’ve decided that for now, I can’t replace WoW. I can find something to occupy my gaming time when WoW is being cranky, but a replacement it is not. The reason why I love WoW so much is simple: there’s a lot to do that does not […]

EVE Online

As I briefly mentioned, I tried EVE Online last week. I’d never actually heard of it, but I ran across it in my search for a WoW replacement and I couldn’t ignore the graphics. The game is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, that’s about all I got out of it.
Let me just say that this is […]

Guild Wars …

Purely by coincidence, Erin and I tried Guild Wars this past week. Last Tuesday, annoyed by the weekly WoW maintenance, I went in search of new MMOs. Granted, I have City of Villains/Heroes, but I get really bored with them really fast. All you do is kill the same stuff over and over again. What […]

Guild Wars Gets My Goat

I’ve done it. I’ve done what I have been avoiding doing for years; what, for the sake of my personal relationships and attachment to the realm of reality, I feared doing.
I have taken my first baby steps into MMO territory.
Thanks to Grimwell, a good friend of mine that has been trying to get me […]
