Very recently someone I know picked up a copy of the newly released Viking: Battle for Asgard, and having gotten quite of bit of time with the title a bit of a discussion was sparked. Viking is far from a bad game. It has a very rewarding combat system, it tells a tale that could Read more...

You are a dot. A lonely dot, on a highway of guitar-laden asphalt. You’re the needle placed on the groove of awesome in this unique downloadable shooter “Everyday Shooter.” I wouldn’t go so far as to call it an ‘art game’, but it’s definitely different than a lot of other shooters past and present. It’s Read more...

I’d like to first inform everyone that, despite my intense fixation on this series, I am not actually a very good player of the games. I can’t reliably finish any of them, and I have never really worried about high scores before. I haven’t even played most of them, actually. These games have a surprisingly Read more...

In this interview, Black Flower Music sits down with forum member Love&Pop and discusses his career in the field of being noisy. You can find some of his music on our forums, I do believe. WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR PROJECT NAME? My project has a name. That name doesn’t have a name. Though, Read more...

Not impressed. Then again, I’m not a huge tennis fan. Although compared to other tennis games I’ve played this generation like Hot Shots Tennis or Virtua Tennis 3, this game was kinda clunky. Slow to respond controls for everything, but that can be said about almost any game these days where Sonic appears in 3D Read more...

I honestly can’t think of any good reasons. Like initially discussed in my entry about that so-called “post-rock” stuff, I think genres are like…Not all that meaningful. Often times, journalists will use them because they kinda have to since being descriptive is really helpful when you’re penning a review about something. Perhaps also if you’re Read more...

You know…..genres are silly. They really are. However, I suppose they can be helpful to journalist to help keep themselves organized and such. To me, a “post-rock” band is a band that’s set up similar to regular rock band. There really isn’t a specific thing to clarify how it’s different from regular rock. You kinda Read more...

So here we are, here in America. Being American. Pretending to be irish. Pretending we understand some foreign holiday. When it’s really just an excuse to drink. You know, I try to respect other cultures, and I think it’s kinda weird about the whole actual “St Patrick” dude. Don’t get me wrong, we need to Read more...

“I Am Legend” is due to be released on March 18th, but because I have special perks, I was able to rent a pre-street copy of this movie on Blu-ray disc. First things first, this movie impressed me. The basic premise is that you follow Will Smith in his journeys as scientist who is responsible Read more...

So I went to Megacon this year for three days of fun and excitement. Though not all was fun and excitement. Now, I’ve been to different sorts of conventions before. Some were huge (Otakon), and some were small (MTAC). With that said, my impression of Megacon was more of a middle-con. It took place it Read more...
