Running a Minecraft Server is Amazing
I like reading the server log after the fact and trying to figure out what, exactly is going on. I think this is the scene. Greg, to Michael, after Michael’s been playing for like 8 hours. 2012-02-15 21:23:40 [INFO] <ZazzBlammymattaz> holy shit 2012-02-15 21:23:49 [INFO] <Fertiner> ? 2012-02-15 21:23:55 [INFO] <ZazzBlammymattaz> what the fuck 2012-02-15…

Sega’s Game Gear Commercial is Great
Is that the guy from Mallrats? Also, really love the implications of this commercial: “Are you retarded?” “You are if you own a Gameboy.” I love Ecco the Dolphin. From this other thing.

Reason 100 Why Final Fantasy 6 is the Most Awesome: Shadow
He owes allegiance to no one, and will do anything for money. He comes and goes like the wind… Shadow is Final Fantasy VI’s anti-hero. That’s pretty cool, sure, everyone loves a good anti-hero. He’s a loner and an assassin and a mercenary and he doesn’t give a shit about anything except money. Great. For…

I’ve Had Three Video Game Dreams In My Life
One of those skeletons from Zelda II killing me, violently. It really scared me. I guess this was around 1987 when the game was released but…that seems like too long ago. It’s possible that I’m old now, though. Diablo II, before it’s release, just after graduating from high school (2000). I was drunk, sleeping in…

Mass Effect 3 – The Uncanny Valley Trailer
I mean, it’s cool and all, but… Will give me nightmares. Do you think anyone at Bioware said anything? “That girl looks weird.” “That’s not my favorite.” Anything? Everything else looks great, but, man, those people (including Shepard) are all messed up looking. Also, I like the idea of playing a whole game as a…

Going To Start Updating Again
I’m going to try to start updating the site again, with a focus on: Reviews. Retro games. Rants about how retro games are better then the shit coming out now. Stuff like this I really like and I want to try to put up my own articles like that (not that I necessarily agree with…

HTML5 Canvas CRT Filter
Note: This may be the coolest thing I’ve ever done. So, over the last couple of weeks I’ve been a bit obsesed with the idea of CRT filters. The concept involves making the graphics look like they’re being displayed on a CRT T.V. by adding in color distortion, scan lines and bloom. It all started…

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX Review
Having not played a Pac-Man game since the original arcade version of the game, I wasn’t sure what to expect going into Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. I’d only heard good things about Pac-Man Championship Edition though, so I decided to give the game a shot. What I found was that Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is,…

Super Meat Boy Review
Super Meat Boy is a platformer about a boy without skin named Meat Boy who must save his girlfriend, Bandage Girl, from Dr. Fetus. Aside from having the best story ever it’s also hard. Very, very hard. I’ve died over 3,000 times (which isn’t an exaggeration, the game keeps tracks of deaths) and haven’t completed…

Costume Quest Review
I’m a pretty big fan of Halloween, RPG’s and Double Fine games in general, so when I found out Double Fine was making a Halloween themed RPG I was pretty pumped. A downloadable game for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, Costume Quest follows the twins Wren and Reynold as they trick-or-treat their way through…

Vanquish E3 2010
Platinum Games’ (Bayonetta, Mad World) latest game, Vanquish, is a third-person shooter featuring a cover system similar to Gears of War and the ability to slow down time. Looks pretty interesting, I like the jet pack allowing the player to move quickly to get under cover. Also, an important warning. Elect a female president and…
