Boy, for saying that I was going to write about once aweek at the begining of the year I haven't followed up on that to well. Oh well another resolution down the drain. Playing a varity of titles currently: Tales of Graces f: It is a JRPG through and through. You know that this isn't a bad thing. In the current generation of consoles the RPG is kind of a rare beast. Played it for about 9 hrs so...

Welcome all to the end of the world. Here we are in the year 2012. I wonder what the new year has in store for me. Today I went to see Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. It was pretty damn good. By far one of the best action movies that I have seen in a good long time. Playing alot of Skyrim. Boy that is a game. One wonders how they were able to put all of that content under the hood so to spea...

Just hit about three hours. I liked how all of the characters came together when they found Serah. I also like how we are now being introduced to a Lost like flashback system that will help flesh out the story. But what I a\m not caring for is the seperation of the characters. No more Snow unless it is his chapter. I had heard that you don't get direct control of who is in your party until a la...

So I recently picked up a copy of Final Fantasy XIII. When this game was first released I was there first day, just like I had been with all of the other parts of the series. I played for about a 2 hour stint. Lets just say that I was less than impressed. Other titles came out and eventually the game was put into a stack of trades. I didn't feel all that bad seeing the middling scores that the...

So that was it. I had grown tired of the whole music game genre and hadn't played my copy of Rock Band 2 in months. I hear that Rock Band 3 is coming out and I thought, great another one. Just what we need. Then the reviews started to roll in and I heard the crew talking about it on the podcast. So I went and bought me a copy. And god dangit it has put its sharp claws back into me. Today I down...

Damn you psychopaths!!! Opps didnt mean to put this up on the off topic area.

Man the weather is real crazy here. Just waiting for the place that is tranfering my 20 gb hard drive to my shiny (pre-owned) 60 gb hard drive to give me a call. Now I can keep "Psychonaughts" on my hard drive and finish "Dreamfall". So excited... ;)

Man... it has been quite a week. Last Saterday at work the ceiling decided that it would be a good time to start leaking. Rain water was coming out of the light fixtures, the ceiling tiles were bowing in and it was just a massive cluster fuck all around. I was pretty soaked by the time all was said and done. It was sort of sureal to see rain in the store. But the very best thing about it was th...

Holy shit... in "Pokemon Soul Silver" you can equip the running shoes and the STAY equiped. Best. Thing. Ever.

Man, I picked up "Nier" yesterday and I have to say that this one came out of left field. I was just looking for something to kill my weekend with and what I am currently playing is the first game in awhile that I haven't wanted to turn off and check something else out. The graphics are some what last gen, not completly, but they are not up to the standerds that one expects in todays games. But...

So for the past few days I haven't been able to get any of the video on the Giant Bomb site to wok. Comic Vine does, but here nada. The progress/steaming doesn 't have a bold and neither does the slow/medium/fast. I am missing my ER :( Anyone have ideas.

Man Agent York doesn't look like his normal crazy ass self and George isn't rockin' his stash. Seems like the VO has been in place for awhile though because he may not look like York but he sure does sound like him. Check it out at http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-07-rainy-woods/25297

So Epic beard time for Dom in Gears 3. Awesome. Because as we all know the power of beard will make this the greatest game in the trilogy. But I digress... So I found "Saints Row 2" the other day for 20 bones and decided to give it a shot. so far I haven't gotten to far into it but it does have some high points. The first is that driving the cars is pretty damn fun. I didn't enjoy that in the l...

So the other day I decided to give "Silent Hill Homecoming" yet another try. Thing is that all of the other games in the series are in the bag and this is the one and only not. So here I go again (on my own) playing the game and deciding that it wasn't as bad as I remember it being. I had been getting the feel of the combat and all and all was enjoying the story. Then I got to the Sewers. Long...
