I beat the game last night, with 100% completion, meaning I obtained all of the cherished suit upgrades, missile expansions, and energy tanks. I spent a sum total of 21 hours, 34 minutes in the MP3:C universe, and enjoyed every minute. The last boss – Dark Samus and the stolen Aurora unit – were incredibly […]
Weekends are made to be broken
Ever have a weekend sneak up on you that you intended to be quiet and peaceful and ended up being hectic and exhausting? Yeah, me either. For some reason, I had thought this weekend would be fairly mundane and routine. We had Caleb’s soccer game on Saturday morning, and that was pretty much it. We […]
Twitter + tracking = Twacking?
Twitter has implemented a cool new feature called “tracking“, which I am officially dubbing “twacking” because it sounds dirty. Basically on your phone or IM Twitter account you can send the message track <topic> and anytime any Twitter message appears on the network with that string in it, it gets sent to you. So I […]

Hey, what’s this?
Hmmmmm….interesting….. (psssst — I’m gonna be away for a while…….)
Metroid Prime 3: I can haz bad revyooz now?

I really shouldn’t be tossing in my 2-cents judging reviews for games that I haven’t yet touched. But, oh, wait! This is […]
August: the month of Metroid
I was reading an interesting editorial over on IGN from Matt Casamassina discussing the complete absence of hype and/or marketing for the upcoming Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. I thought it was a great read, especially considering we are less than 3 weeks away from MP3’s launch, and Nintendo hasn’t even bothered to update the official […]
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 […]
