I believe there are still a lot of Nick Cage movies that would work for Film & 40s. It would be cool if they could do some more. Of course there are other actors they could do as well- like Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves, Kurt Russel, or others (I'm too tired to think of more). The thing is Nick Cage has been in a lot of movies. Some unintentionally funny, others legitimately great, and many midd...
Nov 7th is almost upon us. Upon me. My Extra Life stream will be on youtube here and my donation page is here . My quest? To save the kids. All of them. The journey begins at 10am on Nov 7, 2015. (tomorrow) Like so many others I will be playing video games for charity all day long. For the last two weeks I have been setting up for the stream and I'm hopeful that I can get everything working. Th...
Being the spookiest time of the year everyone is thinking about what movies they'll watch or what games they'll play that best represent the month. With so many new people popping up on Giant Bomb these days, and Giant Bomb now having existed for 7 years (not counting the blog before the site), I thought I'd go back and see what quick looks were best fitting for this time of year and make recom...
This is something I've been thinking about a lot while playing The Witcher 3. Before I get into the meat of it, though, I should say that I haven't finished the game yet (being that the game is a million hours long and never feels like filler somehow so I am constantly doing something other than the main quest). I don't know my actual play time (because I have it on GOG and run it through steam...
So, here's the thing. I completely skipped the WII last gen. I wouldn't say I hate Nintendo or anything. I mean... I got the WII for one of my birthdays because it was something I wanted on my Amazon wishlist. I never used it other than that night when we played the WII sports game that came with it, though, and I played a few old Nintendo games on it as well. I know what you're probably thinki...
Video Games the Movie is a documentary that was released this year about the history of Video Games. It tries to encompass the medium, the industry, to sum up the history, as well as the culture that surrounds video games, in about an hour and 45 minutes or so. I feel it fails in doing that. I originally wrote this piece to place on netflix as a review, but being that I am an amazing writer it...
(I want to apologize for any formatting issues ahead of time. Giant Bombs editor is not always very cooperative due to how it auto resizes for the screen. I did my best to compensate for this, but it may still have issues on some monitor sizes.) I received my Kingdom Hearts II.5 CE box today and I know there's other fans of the KH games around Giant Bomb so I thought it would be cool to share p...
(Just as an editors note: Youtube is not loading my videos thumbnails- I don't know why that is so the videos may not have a thumbnail before you click play. Sorry, I don't know why it's doing that.) I was originally going to write about Run Like Hell . For those that don't know Run Like Hell is a (critically speaking) mediocre Sci Fi/Horror/Third Person shooter from 2002 that I, personally, re...
I want to start with a warning. I may say some things about films that Robin Williams was in that you may consider spoilers if you haven't seen them. I recommend checking them out if you have any interest in doing that- he was in a ton of great movies and most are worth your time. Robin Williams Filmography on IMDB Robin Williams death has impacted me a lot. I felt similarly impacted by my Fath...
So, as always, I just finished playing a game and now I want to talk about it. Today I played Disney Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse (God, that's kind of a mouthful). I should note now I bought it on steam for $14.99. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to wait for a sale to purchase it. What a delight this game is. Visually, it's very appealing and every inch of it tickles my nostalgia...
I just finished playing Gone Home yesterday and I feel compelled to write about it. It's incredibly impressive when I come across games that try something different. That try to say that playing a game can mean something that you're not used to. Finally home. I wonder what everyone is up to. Developers certainly have a long way to go, but when something like Dear Esther comes along and its hard...
I remember getting The Neverhood at a local Software Etc. in the mall. I think Topanga mall in California, actually- probably 1997 or so. The most intriguing thing about the game was that they made it completely in claymation, which is still still pretty unheard of (even the spiritual successor, Armikrog , is going to have some CG from the sound of it). I mentioned this before in another thread...
I had to write this in my Microsoft Office Word pad because the site was down. I really hope I remember to put the pictures in where I want them. I guess it doesn't matter because what I write tends to be very niche which is why my blogs are so sporadic. I know I'm not for everyone, nor are my tastes, so I only write when I am feeling super talkative about something I don't see a lot of people...
I don't know why, but I felt compelled to write a blog about this game. I was thinking about it ever since the only forum thread it has re-emerged and couldn't get it out of my head. So I played through it again and now for some reason am very bored and feeling compelled to write about it. This is not a review (I don't do those) and should only be taken as my feelings on this game. Andy is the...
So, I just finished Dear Esther . It's not a game- at all- but as an experience it's quite interesting. I kind of see it akin to touring a museum or art house. It was fun and intriguing, and if we had Virtual Reality this would make a fascinating means of using that kind of technology (just my opinion). As a form of entertainment (that shouldn't be confused for a video game- which it isn't) it'...
I had considered playing this again when it was discussed Vinny and Dave may actually play it on their random PC game thing they do. They haven't played it yet (being the month of All Hallows Eve, this is a shame) but they may. Another lonely voyage into a grand adventure. In the meantime I myself wanted to play it again as it's a horror game I love and I have always considered to be pretty ter...
Firstly, don't blame gearbox for what this is, readers. Gearbox only polished it for release, they didn't develop it. I guess you can blame them for taking the reigns, but I don't really think that's something they should be punished for. I agree they should be lauded that they released it Second I know Jeff and Ryan feel this need to be honest to the consumer- and I will always respect that, b...
I decided to write a blog overviewing Rift. I just started playing a couple days ago, and have settled on a class I think I will enjoy (I tried cleric first, as I prefer to heal, but leveling on it was dull and I didn't like it at all- so I started a mage). Anyway, this is not a review by any means, just my thoughts on the game. Rift We'll start at the beginning. Rift is a fantasy MMO boasting...
As of now (I think it may have happened last night or yesterday) the Stargate Worlds website is officially down- even the forums. If you went there all you'd get is this: Jan 17, 2011 As we indicated in our previous announcement, as of January 16, 2011, we are unfortunately no longer able to sell or operate Stargate Resistance. We are actively evaluating options for Cheyenne Mountain Entertainm...
I'll start with an admittance here. I hated the first season of The Tester for more reasons then the obvious one (obviously the prize If anyone else is watching this too, I doubt they think the show is anywhere near quality. is retarded and all you really win is a $5000 sign on bonus, anyone could get a job as a game tester- it's called Quality Assurance). The show was cheap (being made on a lo...
Just gonna start by saying, while I'd love to take the time to put pictures and what not to spruce this up- due to the content I am not going to in order to not run into spoilers (as pictures I'd want to use would be considered as such). Also, I am not going to spoil Deadly Premonition in anyway, mainly because I dont want to spoil anyones enjoyment of the ER. This is merely a look back on my t...
