  • Mass Effect 2 [GO]

    Guess what guys? SPOILERS! Shepard isn’t dead. Words cannot describe how excited I am for this game. Mass Effect was one of the greatest games on the 360 based on its epic story alone. Bioware rarely disappoints and I’m psyched for this one. EDIT: GT still has busted html. What’s going on there?

  • Persona 4 Review [Game Overview/Sony]

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. When I was a kid I became saddled with the unfortunate notion that Japan did pretty much everything better than the United States. I don’t think I would have gone so far as to call […]

  • Bubble Bobble Plus [Big N]

    Bubble Bobble is back Remember back when I wrote about my favorite 8-bit era games? Well the next day I wrote about a runner-up, the classic Bubble Bobble. Astute readers may remember me stating: “If there were ever a game that needed a DS or XBL update, this would undoubtedly be in the top ten […]

  • Not Quite As Predicted [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. I think it’s safe to say at this point in the season that things aren’t quite going as I predicted. It’s not the end of the world to be five games back in late May, but it just isn’t coming together for the Rays who […]

I’m having a hard time caring without Mai :hint hint: See the episode below to catch the trailer. Explosive Remember last week when I told you […]

  • Derivative Art, Japanese Rock, and the Coming Rock Revolution [You Can Quote Me On That]

    From Tim Rogers’ article on Japanese music and Sambo Master (so good, but long!): I told Sanyon, “Art is poison. The ‘art’ of the past — the words of the past set down for future generations to remember — was it not made or chosen with the best judgment, can only hinder the freedom of […]

  • Rays and Marlins Update and Punch-Out!!? [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. The Rays finally managed to hit the .500 mark two days ago only to lose last night against the Athletics in a heartbreaking game that remained scoreless until the 11th. You can’t really say that the Rays have been on a tear, but they have […]

  • Meet the Spy [GO]

  • Auto-Tune 3 [Embedded Reporter]

    Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. The Gregory Brothers are at it again with another edition of Auto-Tune the News. It’s not as catchy as the previous ones, but it’s plenty long and still pretty funny. I’m consistently impressed by how good Katie Couric sounds auto-tuned. The foreign […]
