This is just marvelously asinine and hilarious. Note that the article's claim of you having to count to 10 in several languages isn't actually on the flier, and the flier says that what you do every morning changes, but whatever. Just go look.

I should talk about how awesome Metal Gear Solid 4 is. It's awesome. Okay, I'll stop, you've probably heard what you want about that game from elsewhere ( Read more... )

Was playing some Dragon Quest 4 for the DS and found a very, very silly situation. My way into a building was being blocked by... a dead body. Can't I just... you know, step around it? Step over it? Push it out of the way? Cast fire on it and blow it up ( Read more... )

I've had my first real job in a while for about two weeks now. I'm doing web programming (well, sorta - I'm working on the backend right now, haven't done any real web stuff yet... but I digress) for a startup-ish company in Boulder, CO. It's fun. Lots of fun. But it's also a -lot- of work. I was hired because I knew some Ruby (I'd have rated ( Read more... )

 If you have a Wii, you've probably noticed that the WiiWare game service started up. I'm really excited about some of the potential this has, as Nintendo has worked really hard at reaching out to small, independent game studios. I know proof of this - in the form of one of my friends who actually got a dev kit. He's has had a game in the works for ( Read more... )

A while back, Steven Spielberg and EA announced a deal to cooperate in making some games. At the time, nobody really cared. Spielberg? Making games? Um, right ( Read more... )

I'm a little too young to remember this show being on, but there are a bunch of full eps of Starcade online now. Go here to see them if you're interested. Starcade was a TV game show about playing arcade games. It's an early 80s show (you can tell by the games and the way people are dressed), and while it's nostalgic to see some of the old games, ( Read more... )

I was looking at Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2 on Amazon today, and noticed this in the product features section:

"This collection brings the trilogy of this 7 game series to a finale"

Har har har. That sure brought a smile to my face. ;p

This, my friends, is a fine example of a franchise run amok. I love Fist of the North Star / Hokuto no Ken / 北斗の拳, I really do, but I simply have NO desire to play an MMO based on it. You see, the thing that made the series what it was was Ken (the villains he fights are sometimes interesting and sometimes not ( Read more... )

Hhhhholy crap, I actually beat Mysterious Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer / Fuurai no Shiren! I was getting -really- annoyed at it after first getting to the final boss then getting totally wasted (in a rather cheesy manner), and then going back through the whole damn dungeon only to have the 29th (out of 30) floors be a "monster house" - filled with ( Read more... )
