Well, duders, it's certainly been awhile since I last posted a blog here. I guess the Whiskeyocalypse got me thinking that I should visit more than just the video content for the site. In the long, long months since I've been gone, a ton of stuff has happened. Here's just a taste of what's been going on: I went to college. Specifically, I began my studies in English Literary Studies (which I la...
Just thought I'd touch base with everyone regarding the status of the panel. This morning, I received an email from Aaron Clark, Head of Panel Programming (and co-creator of perhaps the best Evangelion fan site on the Internet, EvaGeeks.org ) stating that the panel schedule is full, and that any changes would only happen in the event of a cancellation. What does this mean? Well, it's likely tha...
Just thought I'd post a few updates, as it's been quite a while since I last blogged. Those of you who haven't been listening to Counter Culture Weekly are missing out. My personal favorite moment on the podcast: recording a Star Trek-esque opening (complete with music) . I'm still writing fiction, albeit on an irregular schedule (thanks, AP Euro term paper!). Since I last blogged, I've started...
Today marks a very special milestone in my life: it has been one year since I first began my foray into podcasting. Prior to coming to Giant Bomb (or GameSpot for that matter), I would have thought it to be impossible to record a podcast. I had neither the time nor the resources, and even if I did, I had no one who would listen to me. Sure, I had my stint as a frequent caller on Otaku Generatio...
From Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix to Shadow COmplex, Xbox Live Arcade is one of the best places to find quality downloadable games. Sure, they may be a little pricey from time to time, but many of the games are worth it.
The title says it all, folks. If you want to meet one of the featured guests of Bomb Should Have A Face, you can look for me at Otakon 2009 from July 17-19 in sunny Baltimore, MA. Just PM me if you want to meet up! And for those of you who aren't able to come, I'll try and see if I can post some tweets and/or blogs from the show. It's going to be amazing, so stay tuned for more details!
Yesterday, April 3rd, 2009, was a sad day for my hometown of Binghamton, NY. For those of you who haven't heard, a man stormed into the American Civic Association building at around 11:15 AM and brutally gunned down 13 people before turning the gun on himself. The people he killed were in the middle of a citizenship test; in other words, they were just one step away from being fully recognized...
....called Street Fighter IV?
Last night was my Junior Prom, and I learned a thing or two during the course of it. What more can I say? 1. The 1980s, Michael Jackson, and Beat It are still a threat. 2. Class is one of the most important things a person can show when under pressure. 3. A tuxedo does not have the pocket space necessary for all your gadgets. Get an iPhone, you idiot. 4. Cheap sunglasses fly off rather easily w...
I just bought Twilight . No, not the awesome song "Twilight" by the Electric Light Orchestra; the damn novel. I'm afraid I might have just lost all of my credibility by saying that, but you can all rest easy knowing that it wasn't by choice. You see, my mentor, Mr. Kevin Lucia (who is a fantastic author, you should check out his blog here ) has had nothing but good things to say about it. It is...
So, yeah, hi. It's been awhile. School's been kicking my ass, so I haven't devoted as much time to Giant Bomb as I should. That all ends........RIGHT NOW! The last 24 hours have been eaten up mostly by Fallout 3. I've made it deep into the Capitol, and am currently looking for that damn satellite dish for Three Dog..... My opinion of the game? It's pretty rad. I've never played a Fallout game b...
Well, as of this past Friday, my junior year in high school is 1/8 over, and my school guidance counselor has given my class the "Now Is The Time To Sort Out Your Future" schtick. Now, being "a few years ahead of my time" (read: an ambitious elitist dickwad), I've already got an idea of what I want as my major in college: Creative Writing. As it is, I've been told by many people that I have the...
Yes, I know I'm late in writing this, but who cares? I was busy playing games for this segment, thank you very much! Anyway, here's what I played this past week: On the DS I've played Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. On the 360 I'm still playing Geometry Wars 2. In addition, I'm busy playing the best Live Arcade game to date: Bionic Commando Rearmed. My Wii was sent in for repairs. I se...
Normally, this would be my column for reviewing my week in video games; however, something unexpected happened when I left the hotel in Philadelphia: my dad broke the Wii. As such, I haven't been playing many video games this week. In place of gaming, however, I've decided to catch up on my reading. I'm writing this in the living room of my great aunt's apartment in lovely Reston, VA. There's a...
Remember when I said I'd write about a different topic each week? Well, that idea fell through and was instead replaced by In-Game Menu. However, that doesn't mean I can't speak my mind every once in awhile, right? That's what this segment is for; whenever I have a thought about video games that is worth expressing. So without further adieu, here's the first topic! --- If you've read yesterday'...
Hey guys, I'm back with another edition of In-Game Menu, the dynamically-changing video gaming writer's column. Sorry for posting this late; I would've put this up yesterday (Sunday) but I was at a Bad Company/Blue Oyster Cult concert. In addition, at the moment I'm currently typing this on a laptop in a hotel room at the Homewood Suites in scenic Philadelphia, PA. So in the interest of satisfy...
In the first installment of this brand-new segment, I've decided to talk about my current gaming menu. While not the most original idea for a blog post, I find it's important for the reader to understand my tastes in games, and this is the perfect way to get that across. So, without further adieu, let's review this week: On the DS, I've been playing Guitar Hero On Tour. Having already beaten it...
In addition to video games, I have a passion for reading and writing. At the age of 8, I was given the first real novel that I really enjoyed: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. My parents and teachers were amazed that a second grader such as myself, while not very adept at sports or math, could read that well. In 3rd grade they diagnosed me with dysgraphia (which in a nutshell means that m...
Well, after checking out the site for a few days, I have to say I'm impressed. Jeff and company did a really awesome job. This site has now become my new addiction. I'm editing and submitting new pages and images all the time. Perhaps this could hold me over until I get a summer job.......
.........so full of epic win, it's almost an epic fail. ALMOST. But seriously, it's f***ing awesome!
