IGN and the Always Online Rumor

ign

There are a few videogame news sites I frequent, but none so much as IGN. I know a lot of the more “hardcore” audience tends to dislike IGN, but I’ve always been a fan, mostly because it’s a well designed all-in-one news source. However, occasionally, some of their contract writers can come up with some real filler crap. Read More… »

Currently Playing “Injustice: Gods Among Us” (PS3)

Injustice-Gods-Among-Us

My thumbs are very, very sore.

I’m going to be completely honest: I’ve never been great at fighting games. Sure, when I was a kid I could beat my mom at Mortal Kombat, but I was never one of those gamers who could recall each and every move-set, performing insane combos at the arcade.

Currently Playing “Ni no Kuni” (PS3)

Ni-No-Kuni-Logo

It was 1991. I was 10. It was the height of Nintendo fever, at least in my household. I’d just gotten a Super Nintendo, having sold my Genesis to do so. Of all the systems I’ve owned in my lifetime, I still consider the Super Nintendo to be the best. Read More… »

Thoughts on “Mama”

Thoughts on “Django Unchained”

Of all clichéd film genres out there, I think that the Western is not only the most widely recognized and emulated, but my favorite as well. Read More… »

Thoughts on “Les Misérables”

les-miserables-movie-photo-25

Jess and I have an agreement: we go to see a movie I pick, then a movie she picks, back to a movie I pick, and so on. Typically, we’ll see several that I pick in a row. She likes movies, but not the same way I do. I’m a Cinephile (movie whore) and will see just about anything. So, when she picks a movie as must-see, it truly is. Read More… »
