It's been a while since I've done this, so pardon me if I'm a little rusty. There's an unofficial tradition of sorts here at GameSpot wherein editors will post their thoughts and speculation on... Tokyo Game Show Impressions
The Good 1. The trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII looked really, really good. It was all prerendered -- depsite a 15 or so second segment that was intentionally made to look like... Why I Love My Job, Part 2
I don't hide the fact that I damn near swoon around certain industry vets whose games I've played and enjoyed. I wouldn't call these people idols, but I do admire their accomplishments and the... Greetings from Tokyo
A couple of weeks ago, after the effects of the work leading up to the Leipzig trip had worn off, I decided something on a whim. I decided that I was not going to follow GameSpot's coverage of the... Why I Love My Job
I'm not usually one to get starstruck. Living in Los Angeles for the majority of my life has kind of desensitized me to celebrity sightings, and with few exceptions, I have little respect for... Off to Leipzig
In the wake of E3's recent demise, I'm glad that there are still a couple of spectacle, song-and-dance videogame trade shows still left. One of those two, the Leipzig Games Convention in Leipzig,... Jonesing for Some Metroid
Here's a nifty little thing. Our studio has a pretty large selection of drinks in the cafeteria. Everything from the standard fair like Gatorade, Propel, and Coke, to harder-to-find selections... LocoRocowned
I hadn't really realized it, but I've found myself neglecting my PSP lately. Between my Xbox 360, DS Lite, Battlefield 2 for the PC, and my work life, it seems that I've shunned the sleek... Pick 5: E3 Media Festival Edition
Amer Ajami | Disgruntled Fanboy I'm breaking the Ajami My Pick Five tradition by writing one such article without first being prompted by an official GameSpot... My Pick 5, Part 3
Amer Ajami | Milking This Image Yet another Pick 5 has appeared on the GameSpot homepage, which means it's time for me to do the same over here. This time, the... Two Ex-GS Editors and a Weekend
So this past weekend, I braved near triple-digit heat and headed down to everyone's second favorite ex-GameSpot editor's new apartment in Costa Mesa from my parents' house in Anaheim Hills. There... Bob Lives!
Guess who made his first public Southern California since leaving GameSpot a few weeks ago? Click me: It's Mr. Blizzard himself, Bob Colayco . He came up from his new digs in Costa... My Pick 5, Part 2
Amer Ajami | I Know People w/ Photoshop RoninKengo would be proud that his hard work on the image above is being amortized across multiple blog posts. At any... Two Great Tastes...
...that don't taste great together. When I went to Japan recently, I encountered a fairly fancy gelato store that served some unusual flavor combinations. Even though it was the dead of winter,... I Feel Whole Again
There's a saying that goes something like: businesses shouldn't be judged by the mistakes they make, but how they address those mistakes. Save for my long dead NES (which probably passed after I... Where's the GameSpot review for this?
Ever since I first smooth-talked my way to the Tokyo Game Show in the fall of 2000 at GameSpot, I've been making it a habit to visit Japan at least once a year. I've always had a fascination with... My Pick 5
Amer Ajami | I'm Cool Too Hey look, somebody's back from the dead. It was this weekend's top slot story that spurred me to fire up the 'ol GameSpot blog machine, which... Kenny Loggins is the man
While it's not in my best interest to dog on EA Trax, I do admit that, with the release of Burnout 3, I've finally begun to understand some of the criticism that it has received from the likes of... Work is hard
Cars explode. I should be sleeping.
