Canflix.com review
I've been with Canflix for 16 weeks now, so it feels apt time to write a review. In short, they're a perfect fit for me. Canflix is a Canadian dvd-by-mail service based in Alberta....
Nearly at level 21 now, I can almost taste it. Now if only we could change our aliases, essentially copying our profiles to a new account. I can pay to have my XBL Gamertag changed, I can pay...
Excellent, a sachet of new Wiimote straps with the XtraThickness(tm) arrived, and I'm ready to start hucking these things aro... oh wait, what's this now... Now this certainly didn't...
Too pimp not to share . And the funky freshness continues... over at WiiModWii and LiquidIce you can nab a whole suite of tools for using your Wiimote with your PC. Including...
I just want to take a moment and thank Gamespot for pulling no punches in their Wii reviews. Several of these half-baked, re-warmed Wii-makes are getting skewered, and I suspect rightly so....
Admittedly I'm not a hardcore Transformers fan. I grew up with it; I've got an original Soundwave and Bumblebee on my shelf (thoroughly enjoyed and missing a couple stickers); and I quite...
At the risk of sounding Schaferish , are you waiting for actual monkeys to emerge from actual orifices? Go buy it from Steam now! You already own it? Me too. What, it's going to...
Quite a thing these conventions. Sensory overload meets sensory deprevation. I don't have access to a computer made since 2002 while in Tokyo, so this report comes through no small taste of...
A joyous long weekend to you. I felt I'd earned a holiday, so at long last I rented a 360 console, and many top-flight games in addition to the few I've snagged from eBay on the cheap. Currently...
From a time past, when game endings were worth watching... The Chrono Trigger Endings Project Why dig out and blow in your old SNES cartridge when the marvellous Tubes of the Internets...
Right on! My local video store is having a retro inventory clearance, with tables full of threadbare tote bags filled with SNES, Dreamcasts(!) and N64s. Also strewn about are a wide assortment...
I'm pretty bored with the whole "ripping off" argument because I don't think it's the hardware's job to be original and innovative. You might remember it didn't work out so well with the Virtual...
Advent Children is certainly enjoyable in full theatre-quality sound and video. Disc 2 features are a treat. Disc 1 FF7 recap is enjoyable. We used to appreciate gouraud graphics like that......
That's wiird man. O_o Okay, other than needing a paragraph of designer's intent, Ii think it's a nice enough metaphor play, especially in Japanese. And it's not just a Nintendo system...
Sigh. First they're all amazed last June and touting 100,000 copies of single movie titles sold... every PSP owner has an adoption ratio of 2.4 titles... like some nuclear family statistic. Then...
