Too Much Awesome

We here at Toy-TMA do a lot of writing. Sometimes we do more writing than usual, but we’ve been very good about creating content every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at a consistent pace. Thankfully, a lot of our favorite articles have been viewed over and over again, and even have comments in staggering numbers for [...]

Escapism. Through whatever medium we use, we are all searching for that elusive experience that takes us elsewhere; that state of mind in which we aren’t concerned about our money problems, our painful lack (or disturbing presence) of a significant other, or whatever war or natural disaster is happening in whatever part of the world. [...]

Today is a special occasion for me here at Toy-Too Much Awesome. Today is my 300th post (according to my backend stats), so I wanted to celebrate by writing something very near to me as both an interest and part of my identity. For my last milestone I talked all about my greatest Pokemon accomplishments [...]

It is currently the third week of the PSN Blackout. How are you all holding up? In case you were wondering, here are my thoughts on the matter.

I’m not a very competitive person by nature but when it comes video games, there is always motivation to be better than others. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly more difficult to actually be the best at any video game and it’s not because the games are getting harder; it’s thanks to the use of worldwide [...]

We’re hitting a critical time in the lifetime of video games where a great shift is occurring. Instead of all physical copies of games, the option to download parts or the entire game itself are opening up to those with an Internet connection.

Why haven’t I Thought Deep for a while? I’m not really sure. I might as well fix that by diving into a topic I’ve mentioned before: Fanboyism (or Fangirlism, but it’s easier to write “fanboy,” so just replace the gender pronouns to enjoy the article more if that’d otherwise be a deal-breaker). What makes someone [...]

Microsoft’s big new motion controller apparatus was officially released last week, showing the world what a non-controller could look like. A handful of games have come out for it (notice that I’ve reviewed none of them) and huge changes occurred to the Xbox as a whole. But what does Kinect really mean for us? What [...]

Now that we’re knee deep into October, many of us are beginning to forget about September. And why not? October has Halloween, whereas September traditionally has back-to-school, one of the worst times in the history of ever. Seriously, does anyone enjoy heading back to school? If you do, I don’t really want to know, but [...]
