Too Much Awesome

I grew up with the original Nintendo. I was a fanboy back then just like the rest of us, long before “fanboy” meant what it means now. Nintendo could do no wrong during that time and depending on who you ask, that’s still true today, but I beg to differ. The NES turned me into [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve heard a lot of rumblings lately on the subject of purchasing used games over new games and vice versa, mostly due to THQ going out of its way to say that any gamer who buys games used is cheating. I’ve heard both sides, but I want to weigh in on this subject because, hey, [...]

Today’s Let’s Think Deep is going to be a little different than usual. Usually I’m just writing for this site. However, the following is an essay I wrote for a class I’m taking abut Utopian literature and thought, hence why the tone is more formal. To make things simple, I’ve also included the Work Cited/Referenced [...]

You know what I haven’t done in a long time? I haven’t Thought Deep. But what to talk about? If I pick something wrong to talk about, what sort of consequences will I endure? Hey, this reminds me, I just finished playing through Mass Effect 1 and 2 and wouldn’t you know it, there are [...]

As you probably discerned, yesterday was April 1st and therefore, Square Enix hasn’t really confirmed a remake of Final Fantasy VII. This would be the point where I slowly shrug my shoulders and say “April Fools?” to the three or four of you that read the article. While writing it, I didn’t really think I’d [...]

How many of you are on Spring Break right now? I sure am, though that doesn’t excuse me from my writing duties. It still does give me a chance to play some video games, something I’m sure many of you also do. There’s just something about games that’s begun to bother me and for the [...]
