Too Much Awesome

I got to go to PAX this year. It is absolutely vital that I rub that fact in as much as possible. One of the biggest aspects of PAX is the showroom floor stuffed with game demos as far as the eye can see. Being the Nintendo fan that I am, I made a beeline [...]

One of the biggest releases of this month, Dead Rising 2, will be out tomorrow. Somehow without even planning it, I managed to play the first game in the series, Dead Rising, right before the sequel comes out. In doing so I realized I absolutely loath this game, but not because it isn’t enjoyable. I [...]

When we last left off, I had finished listing out my twenty favorite video game tracks. To be honest, that was a misnomer. While the twenty I selected are indeed favorites, I couldn’t do a perfect list since so many of my favorites also happened to be battle themes. Therefore, to make a proper list [...]

I’m so cruel, what with leaving everyone hanging for the better part of two days. When we last left off, I was listing out my favorite video game tracks starting with number 20 and getting down to number 11. But what are my Top Ten? I’ve got the answers for you today, so sit down [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about video game music recently. I’m not sure why exactly, but maybe it’s just because I love video game music at all times. My iPod is actually full of more game-related music than non-game-related music. So I wanted to assemble a list of my favorite game tracks. 50 tracks later, [...]

I am a winner. I win most everything I choose to participate in. I win at video games, I win at board games, I win at card games, I win at guessing games. I win Christmases, birthdays, Halloweens and Passovers. I win at life. But even I, a winner of everything, am not exempt to [...]

Bungie managed to do what seemed like an impossibility. First, they created a new IP that becomes universally praised (Halo). Then, they follow up with even better games (Halo 2, 3, and ODST). Now, on the verge of Halo: Reach, their newest game, they have the power to say, “See ya Microsoft, and thanks for [...]

In case you missed it, Kyle, Other Chris and I recently got back from PAX. During this time, we were forced to drop off our car roughly five miles away from where we were staying, and because I’m cheap, we walked back in lieu of taking a cab. This gave us ample time to pontificate [...]

Holy crap. Duke Nukem Forever rose from the ashes as a playable demo at PAX 10. And I got to play it. I don’t even have anything to say as an intro, so as they say, it’s time to preview Duke and chew bubble gum, and I’m all outta gum. Your short history lesson: Duke [...]

Through some crazy voodoo, Kyle and I managed to get to PAX this year. The short story is that I’m insanely lucky when it comes to e-mails and clever timing, so let that be a lesson to you. Basically, Kyle and I do a podcast elsewhere (go listen to it by the way), and somehow [...]
