On my first try through a level on typing of the dead overkill today, I got a perfect run and just barely missed the top score on the leaderboard. If I had hit one zombie that only required one letter to hit, I would have gotten the top score. >_ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifz_4KvZZwE
So after playing way too much Persona 4 Arena the other day, I went online and found out that there isn't ANY good Persona 4 dubstep out there. Now, I can't make a dubstep song myself, but I DID have a sample-less version of Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites laying around, so I went online and downloaded a full audio rip of Persona 4 and got to work throwing audio samples into it (and probably ru...
Had the CRAZIEST dream that contained so many random video game references just now. Minor spoilers if you haven't played Portal 2 past the beginning. So my dream started with me taking over my girlfriend Lindsey's Tuesday and Thursday shifts at Maido stationary, a Japanese stationary store in Japantown, apparently they really needed employees? Anyway, it turns out that Maido is a front for a c...
I just reconnected with a friend of mine from the DDR days (2002) on facebook. He's over 10 years older than me (I'm 23). I asked him how he is doing and apparently, he ended up in the boondocks living in a motel with his mom, because the relative that was supporting them died of cancer. Now, I feel terrible about this, but my first reaction was "yeah, I was kind of expecting that." In the year...
Over the weekend, I went to Milpitas Golfland for a DDR player reunion. I saw tons of old friends I haven’t seen in years, and was hit with wave after wave of nostalgia and emotion. After getting home after standing in front of a Tapioca Express with 20 other people until 2:30AM, I was compelled to write something detailing just how important DDR and music games were to me growing up. I first l...
So ever since I wrote that article about playing Catherine with my girlfriend Lindsey, there seems to be a misconception that my girlfriend is a terribly controlling woman and that I don't deserve to be in a relationship with her because I am a man-child who is afraid of commitment. So, I wanted to write something up about how I met my girlfriend and how I became her gateway into a world full o...
Today I will probably get no work done. So I work for IGN (technically I work for GameSpy as a software engineer, which is owned by IGN), and today the editors are having a celebration in honor of their 200th PlayStation podcast episode. Almost 100 fans are coming to the live broadcast, and Sony is graciously providing 12 demo booths running Uncharted 3 for the fans (and employees) to play befo...
My girlfriend and I as Young Phoenix Wright and Dahlia from Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations So, it's no secret that my girlfriend Lindsey is a huge nerd. She cosplays Persona and Phoenix Wright with me at conventions, watched me play through all of Persona 4 twice, and we sit together and play DS RPGs together on the couch before we go to bed. She even puts up with me running the twitte...
