Pretty interesting video on 25 benefits of gaming while male. Since I am male and gamer I can say that the stuff they mention has never happened to me but is the pretty common with female gamers.


Since Microsoft abandoned the Games for Windows DRM system many companies have stripped it out and making the games available on Steam. I was happy to see Borderlands get that treatment and today another gem of 2009 got some update love, Red Faction Guerrilla. In Red Faction Guerrilla you are a mine worker come to the planet Mars. In this dystopian tale you join the revolution in an attempt to overthrow the Earth Defense Force by destroying every building in your wake. Well, at least the buildings owned by the Earth Defense Force and there are plenty to destroy as smashing things up is the killer feature of Red Faction Guerrilla.

Since the game dropped in 2009 if you... Read All


A year ago I posted a video of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Speedrunner Cosmo beating the game in 22:38. He recently set the world record again with an absolutely stunning speedrun of 18:10. As he completes the run he talks about the people that worked with him to make it possible.

If you want to head back and watch Cosmos 22 minute run:

"The beautiful story of one slice of bread's epic and emotional journey as it embarks upon a quest to become toasted.

As you delve deeper and deeper into the story of 'I am Bread', you'll notice that things aren't quite what they seem....
"

Gaming has finally escaped its cage, dropped the chains and is free. Lone gone are the days when we couldn't play as a slice of bread and now we can take part in that dream. I just wish so many early video game pioneers could be here to witness the day, so many have been lost. Today is a great day in gaming, the day bread could become toast.

I am Bread comes to Steam on December 3rd.


Back this on Kickstarter!
Not many people still have their original Gameboy but those that still do seem to love them(I know I do). There is a new Kickstarter projected named hdmyboy that is a hardware upgrade for your original Gameboy that provides your Gameboy with an HDMI output to plugin to your TV. Think of this as a modern Super Gameboy in HD.

"Last year Josh hacked a game boy classic so he could play it on an old computer monitor. By tapping into the digital signal deep within the game boy, he could generate amazingly crisp graphics. After playing some Mario, Tetris and Zelda we decided we just had to share this and take it to the next step.

So we spent the last 3 months building a... Read All


This is the first Dancing With The Stars dance that has actually been entertaining :)


The new Star Wars Episode VII Trailer dropped this morning and I have since watched it a few times. Overall my impression is quite good and I am now excited for Episode VII.

That said I had a few thoughts after the trailer.


  • Is John Boyega a Storm Trooper? The idea of a main character being a Storm Trooper seems really interesting to me.

  • I hope the whole movie isn't on Tatooine.

  • People have mentioned JJ is using a lot of practical effects but this trailer is pretty loaded up with CG. With that, I liked all the shots I saw.

  • The Rebel alliance is still around and flying X-Wings.

  • The Empire has altered the appearance of Storm Troopers. I pray they don't alter them any... Read All


I want to wish everyone(who celebrates) a very Cheerful Thanksgiving! Like many of you, I enjoy this time of year and it's demand I eat more stuffing than I should begging the question "who's the actual Turkey?"

If you wanted to stuff yourself on video games, checkout the latest Steam sale. It features some deep cuts on some great games like Portal 2, Harvester & Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake.

If you are looking for something to watch all day while you putter around the house, why not Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day? Joel has been dropping spoilers on social media bout the reboot and to start things off we got to see the bots!... Read All


Why is Terraria one of the greatest Indie game ever made? The fact that they keep updating it for starters and this video is one more reason. Kudos to someone that can pick out each new thing teased in this video.

EDIT After looking at the video again the cat weapon in question is called the "Meowmere."


When Hyrule Warriors came out months again, I noticed that there were a few DLC packs available, so I purchased all of them. I was also able to get some of the DLC for free by registering the game at Club Nintendo. Some of the content includes different costume sets for various characters, one of which is a Dark Link costume for Link.

It seems as though some of the DLC wasn't available right away. I don't know if it was released at a later date or I had to accomplish some in-game goals to unlock them. I recently noticed more content was available such as playable characters, which mostly included the game's enemies. This also seemed to open up a new story-line in... Read All
