Wandering Blather
Random disconnected thoughts this time! Get ready! So I was rummaging through my sock drawer recently and found a whole pile of old stuff I thought was long gone. My old Gameboy Color (clear...
There's a gentleman on my Gamespot friends list who keeps requesting that I join his GTA Union. If he's reading this, I'd like to ask him to stop. But what are the chances he does read my blog?...
You know that expression, "I miss it like a hole in the head"? What's up with that? I don't have enough experience with holes in my head to know if I'd miss one or not. Of the current holes I have...
Metroid isn't a franchise I'm as familiar with as some people. I've only just taken the initiative to get acquainted with it, and decided to play it in chronological order. Or at least what...
You know what really grinds my gears? Wii games that don't have a white spine. One of the distinguishing factors of the Wii is that everything's white. White console, white controller, white menus...
As Nintendo's first party lineup shrinks, and the promise of at least one major announcement looms over this summer's E3 or tomorrow's Media Summit, like a kid at Christmas, my imagination has...
So in case you missed it, rumor has been spreading around the tubes that Microsoft is developing a motion sensitive controller, ala Wiimote. And lots of people are reacting negatively. Some...
Blue glow from my Wii, "Hey you, come online and Brawl!" Toon Link will crush you.
I'm a passionate guy, as anyone who's met me would know. When I like something, I really like it, and when I'm unhappy with someone, I'm really unhappy. But sometimes when reading forum posts, I...
So Brawl is out, lots of people have it and have been ignoring their lives because of it. But now that the dust has settled, it's time to let Brawl take the place Melee had in our lives all these...
Dear Unwashed Masses, I am now the proud owner of Smash Bros Brawl and a clean Wii laser, so I'm after online battles. Add me and send me your friend code so we can slug it out! Signed, Meta...
Anyone who knows me, or at least has read the rest of this little bloggurb, is probably familiar with the XBox 360 and I, and how we're quite disinterested in each other. But just in case you...
So what's the deal with the slogan Nintendo's been slapping onto all of it's ads for Super Smash Bros Brawl? "The Brawl to end them all." I understand it rhymes and it's kind of a clever spin on...
I love my DS. I honestly do. My DS has brought some serious classics into my gaming portfolio. Games like Hotel Dusk: Room 215, The Phoenix Wright trilogy, Feel the Magic: XY XX and the newly...
Staying cool in battle is important. Space Pirates go "blarg", and that's why they fail.
I'd like to believe that anyone who grew up in the 8 and 16-bit eras has a soft spot in their heart for traditional 2D platformers. The first four Mario games, the original Mega Man series, the...
Not too long ago, I remember running into a well-spoken fellow on a Gamespot message board. I'm fairly sure it was the comments section under a piece of Smash Bros Brawl news. This gentleman said...
Being a Wii supporter, I get to hear a lot of people whine "The Wii has no third party support, so it's gonna fail." That's wrong for two reasons. First, as I pointed out in my last blog entry,...
Every so often on message boards or what have you, amidst trolling comments about the Wii having nothing worth playing, someone makes the interesting point that Nintendo is running out of...
I'm not a typical gamer. But I've been playing video games for a long, long time. I began with the Atari 2600, but like most people my age, fell in love with the medium during the NES days. The...
