I have 5 Pownce invites left. I currently have no friends on Pownce because A) it’s so new, and B) they’re all on Twitter. Interested? Let me know.
Smash Bros. Brawl offline?
Is it just me, or does everyone find this a bit strange? When Nintendo announced Battalion Wars 2 last summer, they confirmed online multiplayer immediately. When Nintendo announced Mario Kart Wii Wednesday, they confirmed online multiplayer immediately. Smash Bros. Brawl was announced over a year ago, and even today — approximately 4 months from its […]
Thoughts on the new minE3
In a word: disappointing. That pretty accurately sums up how this year’s E3 has played out this week. All of the big three have essentially played it safe this week. Chris Kohler over at Game|Life says it better than anyone else I’ve read so far: Typically, it’s been the “battle of the press conferences” to […]
The magic! The wonder! It’s E3 week!
Once upon a time, E3 used to be a gamer’s first Christmas of the year. A time when we learned all about the games we would be playing in just a couple short months. Gameplay videos, screenshots, new announcements, surprises — E3 always had it all. The question is: will this E3 be any different? […]
Wedding weekend
I’ve got a wedding to go to this weekend up north, so I’ll be offline until Monday, most likely. Everyone have a good post-July 4th weekend! Don’t kill me if you see me on the interstate!
There’s a disconnect here, and it isn’t Nintendo’s fault
I find myself apologizing a lot for the things Nintendo does that the public reacts badly to. But this is just a bunch of pathetic FUD. Yes, that’s right, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will not have any online multiplayer. And that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Others, for some reason, not only want to […]
4th of July: food, family, giant robots programmed for war
The fourth of July was pretty much the same as it always is in our sleepy little town. We headed over to our family “compound” and watched the parade in the morning. We call it the “compound” because my aunt (mother’s sister) moved to town a few years ago into the house right next to […]
Church of Gaming? Are you joking?
I thought this concept was much funnier when Scott Kurtz did it back in 2001. Way to keep up with the times, Buckley. Copy much?
My long painful weekend
I had Friday off of work and had planned to do some stuff to the house in addition to having some fun, too. Man, I was not prepared for the amount of brutal damage my body would be subject to over a three day period. Friday: Art Festival. Walking around in sandals for a couple […]
Quality steampunk scifi?
I need some help. I’m aching to find some quality steampunk scifi to add to my reading stack. Problem is, I don’t know what quality steampunk looks like from a title alone. The Wikipedia list isn’t helpful for this very reason. Anyone read any good steampunk scifi works recently and have some helpful suggestions? I’m […]
