New XBox Experience
Today I was lucky enough to be included in the final wave of invites into the NXE Preview — that’s New XBox Experience to you n00bs. This Wednesday Microsoft will drop the update on all 360s around the world, but today I was lucky enough to get a taste. The following is my impression after [...]

DeVron: The Untold Story
It all started a little less than a year ago in a small garage in Los Angeles. Legendary and militant solo artist Smash decided to put together a band. Many people auditioned, but only three were accepted. On that fateful night, Lord Pantsville, Esq. was born.

PAX 08: The Remembering
This past holiday weekend I traveled to Seattle with my good friend Mike to attend the annual Penny Arcade Expo. Penny Arcade is a trice-weekly web comic about video games and their surrounding universe. Started out of a passion for games, Penny Arcade has risen to a point where it runs a multi-million dollar charity, [...]
A Confession
I have a confession to make. I like Grand Theft Auto. I know, it’s pretty much the sum total of everything wrong with the world: sex, violence, drunk driving, murder, etc, etc, etc… but it’s a lot of fun.
I first started playing the Grand Theft Auto series back in 2001 when the original, bird’s eye [...]
Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
I’m not sure why, but Solid Snake from Metal Gear fame is in the newest rendition of Super Smash Bros. Metal Gear Solid is one of the greatest games in video game history, but it wasn’t even on a Nintendo platform. Why Snake is in the game doesn’t really matter, as his use in the [...]
Rock that band a little harder… in July
I can’t really wait.
As if playing Rock Band wasn’t one of the greatest group gaming experiences to come along in years, it appears that a new accessory is set to amp up the fun even more by bringing an “interactive light and smoke stage show” to your already thrashing performances. Apparently you can already pre-order [...]

Nearly 50 percent of 26-year-old paralegal Philip Jenkins’ encoded long-term memories involve button combinations, game-playing experiences, and spatial-cognitive maps of various levels and worlds from Nintendo’s line of video-game consoles, a team of neuroscientists reported [...]

Playstation 2: 2003-2007
Nearly four years ago I had an itch, an itch to play Final Fantasy X. I purchased the game used at EB Games (may they rest in peace) for a very reasonable price and couldn’t wait to enjoy my purchase. The only problem, of course, was that I didn’t own a Playstation 2. For the [...]
Hookers Hate GTA
Ok, now I’ve heard it all. The Sex Workers Outreach Project, an organization that does exactly what the name implies, has issued a statement boycotting the extremely popular video game Grand Theft Auto.
Grand Theft Auto is the highly violent, and sometimes pointless, video game that allows the character to steal cars, shoot people and [...]
