Bioshock Infinite: No Such Thing as a Perfect Game

SPOILER WARNING: Just like with any other Bioshock Infinite piece actually worth your time, I cover story details. If you give even half a damn about the game, don't read this until you've completed it. That's my recommendation. I don't act...

 
 
 

Guild Wars World/LORE! Primer for GW2

Hey there! If you're like me, you often hesitate entering a game franchise on a sequel. Depending on the type of game, I usually want to start at the beginning and work my way through. I'm secretly playing Halo CE: Anniversary because I've ...

 
 
 

PAX 2012 Highlights

Like last year, I finished my PAX weekend having not played quite as many video games as I'd have liked. However, this is mostly because I spent considerable daylight time hanging out with beautiful and awesome people off the show floor doi...

 
 
 

E3: Tombs, Wounds, and High Horses

When I first saw footage of the new Tomb Raider game last year at E3 2011, I thought it looked pretty damn cool. Sure, we had no gameplay and only a cinematic, but it was gorgeous. I really dug the new, grittier, less cartoonishly-buxom des...

 
 
 
 

PAX East 2012: Keith Apicary and Jessica Nigri

It's a little sad, I think, that my first Cblog after returning from PAX East is not a gushing recap of all the fun times I had, but rather venting commentary on a so-called scandal that was supposedly born from the convention this year. Bu...

Huh. Okay. Let's see if I can do this. 10.) My day job is writing training simulations for the military. I work for a government contractor that develops "virtual training" for various entities, the primary customer being various branche...

 
 
 

Noboru Ishiguro: RIP 1938-2012

First, a couple of things: 1) This isn't about video games. I apologize. I currently don't have a site of my own, and since I don't think Tumblr is a very good outlet for actual blogging (ironic as that may sound) I currently feel like the...

Snake Eater 3D Demo Impressions

I just checked out the demo for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D on the 3DS.. got some things to say. First of all, I should note that I'm a huge fan of the MGS series. MGS3 is my favorite entry and also one of my most favorite games of ...

 
 
 

SWTOR: Just not feelin it

I consider myself a Star Wars fan. I dig the universe, the lore, and of course the original movie trilogy. I even don't really hate the prequels as much as other people. I think LEGO Star Wars sets are awesome, and the video games amazing. ...

 
 
 

Like Zelda? Get Skyward Sword.

I am generally not the kind of person who goes into an Internet rage when somebody says they don't like what I like. I understand that we all have varying tastes and opinions. Instead, what happens for me, is when I feel I have found a t...

 
 
 
 

Online Passes: I'm Not Buying It.

When I saw the new Bloggers Wanted topic go up, I decided this would be a good opportunity to gather my various thoughts on the matter into one place and lay them out on the table. Let's get right to it. I am against the concept of onli...

 
 
 

Here's what's wrong with PC gaming

Observe: Any ideas to get us out of this infinite loop? Obviously there are exceptions. Valve being the most famous one. But every time I read a story like this one the above image pops into my head. I finally decided to put it into png...

 
 
 

My first PAX was a roaring success

Hory shet, guys. Wow. Just wow. Last night at around a quarter to midnight, Eastern time, I finally arrived home to my little one-bedroom apartment, officially ending my first-ever PAX. I want to send all of my thanks to the wonderful Dto...

 
 
 

Improvements: Springboard sucks

Seriously. The video quality is often blurry, it plays repetitive, often irrelevant ads which can't be muted, and the interface is terrible. Just stick with Youtube. This will also improve consistency.

 
 
 
 

Having a hard time being frustrated with the 3DS

I'm probably alone in this, or at least part of a small minority. But I'm more or less satisfied with my 3DS and I struggle to understand all the anger. I own all three main consoles and a decent gaming PC. My Wii has recently been modded ...

 
 
 

Shut up and take my rupees

Hello! This is going to be a post about Ocarina of Time 3D, but first, an introduction. I've lurked the site regularly for a little while now and tend to stick with the front page, commenting on news posts. I'll be going to PAX for the fir...
