I Bring Nothing to the Table

Month: December 2008

  • BCS Championship! [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Yeah, yeah, I know I just said that this feature might go on hiatus until spring, but […]

  • Atlas and the ESRB [Game Overview]

    The ESRB has been making a spectacle of itself in recent months. Aside from the usual rating controversies, they have accidentally been spoiling the announcement of a bunch of games by posting ESRB ratings for games that are still in development. It’s all come to a frustrated head as of yesterday as the ESRB site, […]

  • Rick/Robo Roll [Embedded Reporter]

    Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. I’m sure there’s no real conspiracy here, but I’d just like to point out that Robo’s theme and Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” sure seem to be very musically similar. The composer, Yasunori Mitsuda, had never even heard of Rick […]

  • Left 4 Dead [Review]

    There was a day, back in my youth, when I abhorred first-person shooters. Sure, I played some Goldeneye here and there with my friends, but I was never a Doom, Unreal, or Halo fan. Then something spectacular happened: a company that I’d heard of, but avoided their games because of my fps ambivalence released one […]

  • The Villains of Final Fantasy Week 7 [Game Overview]

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. With every Final Fantasy game there exists great (and not so great) teams of heroes bent on saving the world from some sort of evil force. While we could take a look at those heroes, […]

  • Valkyria, Tomb Raider, and Realism? [Sony]

    It’s been a while since I’ve talked about it, but I’m still very excited for Valkyria Chronicles. I promised my family that I wouldn’t make any purchases until after Christmas (not that I should be making any at this point), so I have to wait until at least then to hope that I get what […]

  • SEC Championship and WMQ Hiatus? [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Whoa! Another WMQ! With a sound defeat of FSU, Florida has solidified its ability to compete for […]

  • The Walking Dead [Bookmark This]

    So I’m a little obsessed with the Zombpocalypse at this point in time. Between my recent obsession with the amazingly good Left 4 Dead and my strong desires to read books like World War Z, I found myself purchasing a comic book that I heard recommended by Shawn Elliot on the now defunct GFW Radio […]
