I'm Washed Up (Street Fighter is a Young Man's Game)

Hey there, those who stopped to read this. I'm washed up. I'm 31 years old, my hairline is receding, and I'm starting to look like Stannis Baratheon (Before his hair grayed out. I guess I'm not THAT old yet.) I have kids, get frustrate...

 
 
 

Was 2014 really such a bad year in video games?

Let's discuss that question right here and now. Was it really THAT bad? There were a few AAA fuck-ups, yes. But what about all the awesome stuff that came in 2014? If you look at it from the other side you just might realize it actuall...

 
 
 

B-Listers and Hidden Gems Pt. 1

Today I'd like to discuss some more obscure, or maybe just underrated games that I personally loved for one reason or another. The list will cover multiple systems, multiple generations, genres and even levels of awesomeness.Illbleed: ...

 
 
 

Vita, My Sweet Vita

How I love this little handheld. It packs a real whollop in power, having some truly spectacular looking/performing games. Has the nice little second analog nub already built in, and since I have an original model (Got it on day one, b...

 
 
 

In Defense of TITS.

If you know me it's no secret I am not fond of Polygon (Or Kotaku for that matter, but that's another blog entry), their recent review treatment of Bayonetta 2 is a grand example as to why. They allowed their personal distaste for over...

 
 
 

The feeling of power.

It's a good feeling. My life is turning around a bit, if you care or have paid any attention to my previous blogs. I'm sitting here a bit sick from a headcold (I guess) eating toast, hanging out with my son and listening to Mastodon on...

 
 
 

After the darkest night, daylight will still shine.

"No winter lasts forever. The seasons pass and the sunlight will shine on my life again."It's been a pretty rough month, but things are starting to look up and the household has a very needed ray of light shining back down on it. Every...

 
 
 

It Has Nothing To Do With Games.

Wasn't going to write about this, but it IS a blog afterall.Things are tough in my household right now. Money is tight as hell, grocery shopping is a tight rope walk and my dogs may be dying.See, I have a basset hound named Buddy. He's...

 
 
 

Destiny: I love it.

The media opinions of Destiny absolutely baffle me. We all played the beta, well anyone already interested in it anyway. Didn't really see anyone complaining then, in fact I saw a whole lot of positive coverage.But now the game is out ...

 
 
 

My Favorite Game: Chrono Trigger

I was in 7th grade, heavily into JRPGs and had just began to try and follow my father's footsteps as an amateur author. A friend and I had rode our bikes to the local pawn shop to trade some games, as we did regularly. They'd trade any...

 
 
 

Time Flies When You're...Living.

Man...what a year. It's flown by at light speed for me. And it doesn't just seem to be me either, most people I've talked to agree. It makes some logical sense for me, it's been an eventful year and all with raising a newborn son. But ser...

 
 
 

My Big Backlog.

Jesus H. Christ...there needs to be 24 more hours in every day. It's a good feeling to have so much stuff to play that there is simply no way possible to play it all. But it's also a bad feeling when it just keeps stacking up and you wonder...

 
 
 

Taking a breath.

Life has been a whirlwind since I had my son back in January. He means the world to me, but to say life had to be adjusted around him would be an understatement. Gaming, a mainstay in my life for well over twenty years now had to be adjuste...

 
 
 

Now that the dust is settling...

It would seem most people share my opinion of the Xbox One press conference/console reveal. That being that is was pretty much one of the worst of it's ilk, ever. And that the chances of me ever owning this new piece of machinery is slim to...

 
 
 

So Little Time, So Many Games.

That sums it up for me, first world problem, I know. I'm a busy man however, I'm a husband, father, etc. I work a steady job to pay the bills too, but I play a LOT of games. So many in fact that I seriously almost never finish any of them...
