  • What I’ve Been Doing 8 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Sure, it’s not like watching live theater for real or anything, but this was my first tie experiencing one of Shakespeare’s comedies (not counting liberal adaptations like 10 Things I Hate About You) and I absolutely loved it. More below. Movies This is the End – I wish I could say that I had more […]

  • A New Character From The Last of Us: Bill [GO/ER]

    Holy cow, is there another studio out there even approaching the natural and real-seeming performances that Naughty Dog is putting out? This looks fantastic.

  • E3 2012 – Six Minutes of The Last of Us or “Good job with all the…uh…killing and stuff” [GO/ER]

    E3 is sure showcasing a lot of hyper-violent games this year. The Last of Us gets props from me for making it all look ugly and brutal, but it sure makes it hard to watch. Can’t wait to see how this game turns out for Naughty Dog.

  • The Last of Us Trailer [GO/ER]

    So this is Naughty Dog’s big new secret? The music at the end echoes some of the banjo musical cues of L4D2 as do the running zombie types. The overrun NYC reminds me of Enslaved. The young girl reminds me of a younger Drake (and also a little Ellen Page) while the old guy is […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 14 Nov 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Watched all of the 7 Minutes in Heaven clips that were out there. So funny! So awkward! So great! Movies Sorry, guys. No movies this week. TV The Walking Dead – Glenn remains the best thing about this show. Getting the rope around the fat zombie, hooking up with Maggie, and overall being funny and […]

  • Uncharted 3 First Impressions [GO]

    Everyone’s favorite treasure hunter, Nathan Drake, is back once again for his third journey! What’s it like? I’ll tell you. I’m about eight chapters in, but you can expect some degree of story spoiler if you read this post. I don’t think anything huge has happened yet, but if you don’t want to know about […]

  • Uncharted 2 Review [Sony]

    In my office there hangs a picture of Marilyn Monroe, a woman synonymous with beauty and sex appeal, but when you get closer to that picture the outline of Albert Einstein replaces the blonde bombshell. Uncharted 2 is a exactly like that. It’s hilarious to me that in a world where I want people to […]

  • The Portrayal of Women in Gaming [Game Overview]

    Despite the growing number of female gamers and older gamers, the larger audience in gaming does lie within the 18-35 (or whatever the range is supposed to be), male demographic, which means that games are made primarily for that audience (fortunately (for publishers), most 14-17 year-olds respond to the same marketing techniques). It follows that […]

  • Beatles, Konami Discrimination, Uncharted 2, and, Oh No Mai! [Game Overview]

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. Let’s start with a little NSFW. Remember that game Left 4 Dead? Remember how Zoey was a great example of a non-sexualized hero, something Valve specializes? Remember no more, because diligent modders have released the […]

  • Saving the World with an Half-Tucked T-Shirt [Sony]

    I just can’t wait until Friday to start putting these things up. Uncharted is one of my favorite games for the PS3 and the sequel promises to be all that and more. Things to note: – New love interest…who cares… – Snow – ELENA! OMG ELENA! She’s back and her shirt is also only half-tucked. […]
