We never know if we will get the chance to experience some of our favorite Japanese shows. When we finally get that news, though,…
Ah, Nintendo. With what words to express thine legacy?

Fitness devices are nearly as old and varied as fitness plans (but only half as sketchy). Eat right, sleep right, exercise – we all know the drill. It’s just that a Hot Pocket, Lunesta, and Netflix are so much more convenient than cabbage, a fitful sleep, and a dreaded gym membership. But never fear! Nintendo…

But that’s the nice thing about gaming – it’s good for any weather. Of course the article’s about gaming. What did you expect? PAX…

Nintendo publishes game after game of similar content- the same heroes and bosses, stories and values, enemies and rewards- and has done so since 1983 when the company delved into the video game industry. We’ve traversed the Mushroom Kingdom, saved Princess Peach, jump-killed dinosaur bosses…we can’t remember how many times. Yet we keep coming back…

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend SGC 2014 (ScrewAttack Gaming Convention) in Dallas, Texas. While I was there, I visited a number of interesting panels. Yet the one I enjoyed the most revolved around James Rolfe and Mike Matei of Cinemassacre as they celebrated the 10th Anniversary of Cinemassacre. Although the event…
I’d like to encourage you to take a moment to reflect on how long it might take you to perform or conduct certain daily tasks. You know, the sort of things like taking a shower, vacuuming the house, making breakfast, or even driving to work. Now, with that being said, how would your mind fathom…
The console wars rage on, as gamers continue to argue over Microsoft’s Xbox One to Sony’s PlayStation 4. This may be the battle of the ages, a bloody war not seen since the fall of the Sega Console Empire. With such intense debate, however, there is huge risk of forgetting the little guys.
