  • PC: What Would People Do If They Knew That I’m A…

    In what is probably the most interesting news story I’ve seen in a while on Kotaku, it seems that there is a new game called Guitar Praise – Solid Rock that revolves around the Guitar Hero concept, retooled to have a tracklist of entirely Christian music. It’s both a hilarious and good, I suppose, to […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: The End of an Era

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to be able to talk about the official […]

  • Game Overview/Bookmark This!: Consoles I Have Known

    Todd Levin of the Morning News has written a great set of articles highlighting how video games have shaped and affected his life. I love articles like this detailing the way that these things that I love, these things that I’m so often told are a waste of time, are written about in a way […]

  • Embedded Reporter: Sid Meier’s Colonization

    Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. What you just saw was what will most likely be the opening cinematic for the upcoming total conversion game Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization.

  • You Can Quote Me On That: Tim Rogers

    If you know me or read this site regularly, you know that I’m a huge fan of Tim Rogers of ActionButton.net. I don’t universally agree with him, but I do universally love how the things he says about game design and video games in general make me think critically about games both as entertainment, as […]

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. Rock Band 2 It may technically still be summer, but we’re right on the cusp of the most exciting game season in the year, the Fall release schedule. Did you realize that Rock Band 2, […]

  • Filmmakers Bleed: Tropic Thunder Review

    It’s the most random and hilarious plot I’ve ever heard of in recent history and I got to see it a couple of weeks ago. Tropic Thunder features a stellar comedic cast and absolutely no need to be serious at all with their subject matter. Ben Stiller directed this movie and he also stars in […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: Men’s Basketball, Hustling Woes, Pennant Race

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Basketball Delaying my post for the day has given me the opportunity to comment on the American […]

  • Saturday Night Fever: Howl at the Moon

    As I said yesterday, I had myself a great time at the Howl at the Moon dueling pianos bar this past Saturday. What exactly is a dueling pianos bar? Well the main crux of it is that you have two pianos each with an entertainer playing them. They’re supposed to take requests, play them, and […]
