Acid for Blood

I do some writing for the progressive video games review site, The Game Chair. Today, we have a roundtable post containing reactions to Nintendo’s next console controller: Nintendo’s Paradigm Shift. Most of what I wrote for the roundtable is regurgitated from a previous post on this blog, with the difference that The Game Chair sumbission […]

MobiBLU DAH-1500i “Cube” MP3 Player
I was happy with the sound quality, the features, the unit size (smallest MP3 player in the world!), the 1GB space, and the aesthetics of this MP3 player, but I returned it to WAL-MART last Sunday.
It is unreliable. It was working fine the first few weeks, and then it started acting […]

I love how the BBC covered this in World of Warcraft: Deadly plague hits Warcraft world.
It’s interesting to try and read it as a non-gamer would. So surreal.

Congratulations…you have answered every question correctly! You are a true master in the world of video game music.
I am a master. Mua ha ha! I answered 15 out of 15 questions correctly on the Video Games Live Name That Tune. How this is possible without having played a fair number of the games in the […]

Sadly, I never played table-top RPGs back then. I think the D&D players at my school were closet gamers, or perhaps there simply weren’t any (though there were a […]

I am floored. Leave it to Nintendo to do something different. They brought us the analogue stick, shoulder buttons, the rumble pack, the touch screen — now we have motion sensing in 3D space. Motion sensing is not a new concept. The EyeToy tried to do this, yes? But this is a bit more of […]

The title of this post is in reference to today’s Penny Arcade comic.
I played about two hours of Final Fantasy VII and got bored. I did try, though.
Blasphemy?
I will have to read some sort of detailed something or other before I see Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, I suppose. I know some spoilers (one can’t […]

OMG. I was looking for Alien wallpapers on the internets and I came across these:

Aliens (and Predator) plushies!
I particularly like both the Alien Queens (middle row, left and centre), especially the one with the chains, but the Drones and the Predator are cute as well. Not so enamoured of the Chestbursters (the one on the […]

I saw this clip a while ago, but it’s really funny, game-related, and I haven’t got any ‘real’ content today. It’s from a show on Comedy Central called ‘Reno 911!‘. I don’t have cable, so I wasn’t familiar with this show. It’s sort of like COPS, except it’s not real. I’d have to see […]
