The Goaty Awards
Well, the GS awards are in.  No big surprise that Resident Evil 4 got GOTY, but I still feel that it's the wrong choice.  I really did enjoy the game--I played through it twice, and just started... CGE 2005: A Retrospective (56k warning)
I was very surprised to realize that it's been almost a month since my last entry.  Since I haven't really thought of much that needs saying, I'll finally share some pictures of my trip to San... Don't Take My Stuff
I'm going to throw out the names of three action games: Devil May Cry, God of War, Resident Evil 4.  These are all good games, but God of War has a very severe flaw that the other two don't.  God... RPG's or just... G's?
Having recently read [url=http://www.gamespot.com/pages/profile/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=23892983&user=JonathanL]JonathanL's entry on the future of RPG's[/url], I was moved to set down... Losing Control
I'd like to take just a moment to bring up a trend in games that has been troubling me of late.  It's not sequelitis, or each game trying to be a blockbuster, or anything like that--it's the lack... Backfilling
This generation is entering the sweet spot for late adopter/budget gamers like myself. Vast libraries are available for each system and the looming next-gen systems are knocking already low prices... The Obligatory Next-Gen Thoughts Post
I have to admit that I haven't digested every bit of news, so my thoughts on the next-gen systems are perhaps behind the times. I always reserve final judgment, anyway, until I actually get my... Playstation: Bringing People Together For 10 Years
These days, it's hard to get many of my friends together in one place. We've all spread out over the metro area, we have more demands on our time, many of us have families to take care of. Other... Oh, Teh Humanity!!11!
On Sunday, Baroque and I had stopped by the local Best Buy to see if there was anything we needed in their games section. We picked up a couple of titles each, and then, as we were heading to the... Castlevanian Captivation
I was hanging out with Baroque this weekend, and he showed me his import copy of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (called something else in Japan... I forget what) for the DS. This is probably the game... Rice is tasty.
That is all. I left my heart in San Francisco
Actually, I managed not to leave anything behind at all, which is surprising given my lack of organizational skills. I made it there and back with only a single heavily-laden backpack for luggage.... Memories and decisions
Hanging out with a friend on Saturday, we decided to try out the Taito Memories collection he had just had imported. After experience with other retro collections, I expected the usual assortment... Various and Sundry
I've been lazy about updating lately. Not that I have a huge audience waiting on the edge of their seats, or or anything, but it does mean I have a bunch of unrelated subjects built up. God of... Going to 'Frisco
I'm excited about this. A friend and I are going to the Classic Gaming Expo in San Francisco in August. I'm sure the show will have some cool stuff to look at; SNK is exhibiting this year, and I... A new old PC.
Well, I finally stopped putting it off and reimaged my PC. It's been acting quirky for quite some time, and I had only meant the way I set it up last time to last a few weeks anyway. If I... My latest addiction.
Not illicit drugs, not alcohol (although I guess I have been putting a few more bottles on the curb on recycling day lately...), not even a game. My latest addiction in being able to see. When I... Where your friends don't know you: the Internet zone.
I've never looked at the Internet as more than an informational tool... Even when I started hanging out on the GS forums, it was something to occupy me between calls at work. But when I gave up on... Good times with old friends
I unpacked my SNES again recently, and instead of just popping in Super Castlevania IV and stomping through it, I really started digging into some of my old favorites again. Well, okay, I did play... Paradigm shift
My pseudonym is Pete, and I have a problem. When I was younger, back in the SNES and PS1 days, I spent a lot of time gaming. I bought a lot of games; I played a lot of games. As I got older,...
