Paper Mario: So far a solid 6.5...
...out of 6! What do you take me for? Silly scoring drama aside, I just wanted to share my first few hours with the game. It's wonderful and very much like a bigger, badder version of Mario and...
My boyfriend, a.k.a. my frugal half, plays many of the games that I buy and forget about, or that I have no intention of playing, such as really complicated RPGs. When considering my DS purchase...
Since I've taken only physics and astronomy classes in college, and graduation requires at least two different fields in the natural sciences, I find myself in Physical Geology this semester, an...
The latest issue of OPM has a playable demo of Metal Gear Solid 3, the exact same demo I played at E3 actually, but now I get to play with Snake in the privacy of my own home (and a very...
I had Donkey Konga preordered for months, because frankly I loved playing the game at E3, and because I'm still regretting the fact that I don't own Samba de Amigo. Maybe I haven't explored it...
I don't know many people who can appreciate the importance of this news, or moreover its importance to me, so I thought I'd scribble it down here, because at least everyone reading this can...
The first time I ever saw Katamari Damacy I had one single thought, "I used to do that to my Lucky Charms!" So this week when it took me a whole five days after its release to find the game, I had...
I had planned this morning to pick up Katamari Damacy and write a nice long post about it this evening, but I was thwarted by its low priority mailing status. Either that or none of the local game...
I was sitting in class the other day, sprawled across the chair, when I happened to get a glimpse of what I was wearing. I had on a PS2-controller-MLB-logo shirt courtesy of Gameskins, a Ninja...
The classic example, perhaps the one that opened the floodgates, was Prince of Persia. Of course, this was not the first time I ever spoke to my video games, but it was certainly the most...
Growing up I was never very interested in role-playing games. I took a brief hiatus from my disinterest to obsess about the Final Fantasy series (like most other non-RPG players), but after the...
From 1997-1998, I lived in a miniscule New York City apartment exactly one block from St. Mark's Place. At the time, I had about seven piercings, had just shaved off a leopard print mohawk, was...
Since I work part time in retail at Gamestop, I often see the thought processes of retail upper-management in action and I am here to tell you that they want to screw you over. You don't have to...
The answer is that you can't, they're identical, especially if they tell you that they're Alex while you're playing Burnout 3 with them and then later they tell you that they were Jeff. I just...
That's written in my profile and I've managed to meet a few interesting people because of it. I love good books. I tend to read classics (old and new), but I'm interested in trying out almost...
It was free and it came with Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Spiderman 2. As a collector, I'm glad to have it, especially since it's a system I know nothing about, and as a game geek, I must know...
I'm about to embark on some serious labor on Labor Day. Seems fitting if I didn't otherwise know the implication of the name "Labor Day", really should be "No Labor Day" if you ask me. I'm not so...
I have spent the majority of today face down in my GBA playing The Sims. I can't tell you what possessed me to buy the game in the first place, perhaps because I bought it off a friend for a good...
Despite the fact that I write for three different (small) websites far too often, and am now embracing this journal system, I submitted a Guestspotting just for fun. Usually when I get upset or...
Well the Master Ninja Tournament ended a few days ago and sadly I didn't rank in the top 50 or bottom 50 (although if I had realized this sooner, the bottom 50 would have been possible). I think...

How to tell the difference between Jeff and Alex a.k.a. a Burnout 3 postThe answer is that you can't, they're identical, especially if they tell you that they're Alex while you're playing Burnout 3 with them and then later they tell you that they were Jeff. I just...
