Imagine: A Rant

Every now and then, when my daughter (who is four) is happily shooting mutants with her older brother or using Princess Peach to smack down Kirby and the Ice Climbers (because Peach is wearing a pink dress and therefore that makes her the best character ever…duh) I sometimes wonder if maybe she shouldn’t be. After [...]

WTF Product:Company To End Nintendo Blowjobs

Hey, remember how to fix any non-working NES? Barring the Wii and the Gamecube anyway. So any cartridge based NES. Yeah, you blow in it. Now, IGN has a hilarious blog entry about the “types” of blowers out there, and you can find numerous debates about whether getting human spit on the contact points is [...]

Five Games That Take The Road Less Traveled

Having procured a DSi last night, I felt the need to purchase a new title to go with my system. There were many a fine title (and at least twice as much crap) but in the end I chose “Little Red Riding Hood: Zombie BBQ”. How could I not? The title alone was awesome and [...]

Team Fortress 2: Amusing Map Mods

So I’m browsing the internet this morning and Kotaku had an awesome link to Techblog.com and their Mario Kart themed TF:2 map. Which is pretty sweet. Either check it out at the link, or below. But that got me thinking two things. One: I haven’t updated the blog today. Two: It’s Saturday, I’m lazy and [...]

Tricksy Hobbitses

This isn’t terribly video game related (unless you count the inevitable movie tie-in game) but every since bumbling onto Nix’s site, I’ve been a regular at Beyond Hollywood. And when someone gets me on April Fool’s Day, especially after I did an ENTIRE POST about the calendar challenged this morning, I’ll admit it. He got [...]

Like Herding Cats: Trying to Keep Tabs on April 1st Pranks

Ah, April 1st. The day when those of us that have a concept of things like “dates” and “pranks” take advantage of the gullible and the calendar challenged. But none of that for me today thanks. Instead I’ve decided to take a look at some of the video game prankery and shenanigans spreading throughout the [...]

Great news today for anyone that has bought one of Sony’s new Playstation 3 systems that aren’t backwards compatible with PS2 and PSOne games. A peripheral has been released for only $99 that will play ALL of those dusty games on your shelf! For over a week now, the internet has been buzzing with rumors [...]

Zombie Hooker Nightmare: A Review

Adultswim.com, part of the Cartoon Network family, is well known for their violent tongue-in-cheek games. From playing as an Amateur Surgeon to Five Minutes To Kill Yourself, the developers of these miniature web games have no idea where the line is. Which is awesome. Their latest addition to the website is Zombie Hooker Nightmare. The [...]

Bottoms Up!

To show appreciation for St. Patrick’s Day (Tuesday, the 17th) I really wanted to do a list of my favorite video games that allow the character’s to imbibe alcohol. I really wanted to. But alas, there seemed to be no Google cache for me to mine for ideas. Only an ESRB link claiming that they’ve [...]

Microsoft Puts Fingers In A New Pie

Microsoft must look at the world as one giant Monopoly board and they HAVE to own everything. Because clearly no one else can properly manage Marvin Gardens. Or something. The company announced eariler today that they are going to open their own retail chain. After all, if Apple can do so can they. They intend [...]
