Last night I fired up one of my Xbox 360’s for a little bit of gaming before bed. I was rather surprised when I did turn the console on to discover I had a system update waiting. This would be the first update in 2 years, to a console that’s well past end of life …

Destiny 2 – Expansion II: Warmind – Launch Trailer
Well, looks like tomorrow, May 8th, is the launch day for the second expansion to Destiny II. Funny, I forgot it was actually coming, considering how little I get around to playing Destiny 2 anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I actually really do enjoy the game, but it just doesn’t have the ability to draw …

May 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
In a strange mistake by Microsoft, this video was released slightly early, back around the 18th or 19th. It’s since been unlisted, which doesn’t stop me from showing it to you now, so, here we are! Not to give away the ending too early, but this is one of the best months in a very …

April 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
A new month, a new set of free games on via Games With Gold on Xbox. I don’t know why I enjoy covering these – I guess it’s funny, to me, to see just how random the game selections are each month. Besides, it gets hits, so it’s whatever. Right, you know the drill, let’s …

Villordsutch V.S. Top Hat Gaming Man – YouTube Retrogaming Drama At Its Finest!

How The Current World-Record Speedrun For Super Mario Bros. Was Possible
I’m not one to care too much for speed runs in games – while there are ardent followers of these record attempts, I find them an interesting curiosity at best. That being said, the ways in which players figure out nuances of the games in order to shave off fractions of seconds and achieve new …

“Useful To Boot” – The Anthem For Obsolete Technology
A few months back while browsing YouTube, I found a video of a segment from the game “Sam & Max” where the two titular characters are in a support group style meeting for obsolete electronics. The group, known as the Computer Obsolescence Prevention Society, or C.O.P.S is a quirky little group, made up of an …

Time for something completely different in my “what’s to come” kinds of entries. Instead of talking about my plans, I’m instead going to, by request, discuss what my friend Prince Watercress has planned for 2018.

I Can’t Stand Hype Culture
Something that I’ve been wanting to discuss for quite some time is the phenomena of hype being built up around seemingly anything and everything new. Whenever you have something new coming up, you hear about it nonstop, and often times, in retrospect, you have to ask: why did anyone care in the first place? It …

Why I’m Not Buying An Xbox One X – For Now, Anyway
Today, November 7th, marks the release day for the Xbox One X, a console I’ve been waiting years for.

Well, …

The Future Of Nintendo
Ah, Nintendo. The most darling of gaming companies to most any gamer, especially one born between about 1980 and 1995. Nintendo brought gaming back in the United States after the video game crash, and it never really went away. While I’ve, rather hilariously, had people in the past at places I’ve worked seem surprised to …
