Old School Gaming’s “Proudest” Moments

Caught on screenshot.
We’ve all experienced them, those life-changing moments during gameplay that strike like the most philosophical of epiphanies. The realization perhaps, that not all dialogue must suffer from the vapidity and meaninglessness of “someone set up us the bomb“. I mean really, who cares about knowing the source of a ship rending […]

Wii Warning: Wii Might Make You Sore

The Wii is coming out here in la France next week, and I’m still pondering whether or not to invite one into my home. For a long time I felt the Wii was a Must Have. These days, my preference is with the PS3. Just the other day I broke down and bought another PS2 […]

Comfort Shopping

For those of us who didn’t get a PS3, or a bloody Wii for that matter, life has been reduced to finding other outlets upon which to spend the hard-saved money otherwise doomed to wallow until well after Christmas. It does make for a fairly interesting time sink mind you, to wander around the […]

Xbox 360 PWNS Wii and PS3?

Well, I suppose if you were in a ‘console buying’ mood this past weekend and found yourself unable to find the Wii or PS3, the Xbox 360 might’ve seemed like a good idea. That appears to have been the case a lot, for…

Retailers and analysts across North America confirm that the hottest selling gaming console […]

A Lifetime of Tacos In Exchange for Your PS3

In a very interesting PR move, the fast food chain, Taco Bell, is offering $12,500 in Taco Bell pesos to the first person who’ll hand over their PS3. Taco Bell will then turn around and hand over the Sony console to the Stanton, CA teen center of the Boys & Girls Club.
Hmm… PS3 … lifetime […]

So How Much Would You Pay for a PS3?

I don’t know what I was thinking when I thought $600 was too steep to spend on a console. Silly me. Some people are more than happy to spend the price of a car for the Sony console.
Like this guy who managed to sell his PS3 for a winning bid of $15,100.
I guess if you’ve […]

Remember To Always Swing Twice

Okay, I admit it. Machinima. I love it.
When it’s well done and creative, I’ll sit and watch it for hours. It’s better entertainment than TV in some cases, and this particular Michael Jackson ditty is certainly better than anything I’m liable to glimpse on MTV. True, the words have been tampered […]

Girl Stands in Line Waiting for PS3 For No Good Reason

I’m glad that good journalism is alive and well in Austin, Texas. Had the reporter not been there to ask the pertinent question of, “And you’re a girl, right?” I might have missed that fact.
Enjoy the wtf-ness.

No comment on the line, “Us girls don’t really fit into this environment with all this gaming,” because I […]

Gaming Like Porn: Don’t Tell The Wife

It’s a bit of an old article, but I was forwarded this little ditty about the PS3 and its looming market arrival by a good friend of mine and I can’t help but chuckle at the attitude of one of the interviewees. In amidst the usual industry pander about how cool and hot the […]

So… Did You Get A PS3?

The launch has come and gone and people have camped and whipped out their credit cards, and will continue to do so until the dreaded “out of stock” signs start popping up. It’s like the Xbox 360 launch all over again.
But did you manage to get one?
If you did … I doubt you’d be […]
