Too Much Awesome

The fourth episode of the Too Much Awesome Podcast is already up. I’m joined once again by my good friend Michael James Waymire for what we consider The Great Debate: Who would win in a fight between Superman and Goku? We’ve both got our cases to make, so download the new episode, take a listen, [...]

If you’ve been following along, I spent a day talking about Mario’s 2D career, then quickly followed it with a chat regarding his 3D endeavors. The next day was all about the spin-off series that spawned from Mario’s greatness. And then we took a Sunday drive with the Mario Kart series. After that it was [...]

Ah! We’re finally getting down to the party! Mario’s career has gone in many, many directions, but still one of the most unexpected and influential had to be Mario Party. It spawned a whole new style of party games, beyond inventing a genre that would be copied over and over. So let’s get this party [...]

One of the most common solutions (aside from camping out in your child’s bedroom to stave off the boogey-man) is the soothing comfort of a night-light. A company called Cloud B has a [...]

Not long ago I found myself at my Norwegian professor’s house for a barbeque with other Norwegian students (ja, jeg kan snakke norsk, er det bra?), and during said barbeque the weather was just nice enough to make full use of his backyard for some bocce ball. I had never played, but apparently I was [...]

As you may have noticed, there’s been a short break in the usual postings both yesterday and today. Some uninteresting things were going on behind the scenes, but new stuff will be appearing by the end of the week (we hope).

Only a few weeks ago, the next completely new Pokemon title was announced. How much do we know? Well, I know just enough to write a few paragraphs. However, beyond simply giving the facts, I figured I’d pontificate for a while on what I’d personally like to see from a new Pokemon game, and for [...]
