The first question that probably comes to mind is, “why the hell would you review a decade old game? What are you, some kind of nostalgia reviewer?” The answer to that question takes me back to the year 1823, I was a fighter pilot in Vietnam and the Nazis had managed to finally ward off [...]

PlayStation 4 could put Sony back on top
Sony’s PlayStation 3 was the first of their consoles to be panned and considered lackluster. It did eventually outsell the Microsoft 360, of course, but it took a very long time for the console to build up solid momentum, and for all of the launch-era negativity stirred up by fans of the 360 and Nintendo’s [...]
A typical guy’s first day using Google Glass
Google has been ramping up their advertising recently for Google Glass, the company’s new augmented reality headpiece, which is due to reach consumers sometime this year. But the new glasses are probably going to be really expensive, and when you couple that with presumptive low stocks of the product at launch, your chances of owning [...]
A case for why we need information reform
The big popular word in contemporary American politics is “reform.” Everyone wants some form of reform or another; there’s tax reform, and immigration reform, and campaign finance reform, and lobbying reform. And while all of those are well and good, and necessary in their own ways, we tend to forget about the one type of [...]
Why is Ted Nugent attending the State of the Union Address?

Zombies!!!
Zombies. We all love them. Some of us more than others. If you’re like me, then you’re pretty upset at the Mayans for getting our hopes up that the world was going to end on 12-21-12, and the zombie apocalypse would happen. But, then again, my hopes were up that the zombie apocalypse would happen [...]
A new Yoda movie? Yay or nay?
It was recently reported that Yoda is headed back to the silver screen, starring in his very own stand-alone Star Wars film. No one is sure if the film will tell the story of a young Yoda’s quest to become a Jedi, or an older Yoda, perhaps (and I’m just guessing here) telling the story [...]

President Obama’s skeet-shooting pic is a terrible idea
President Barack Obama just doesn’t get it, apparently. Somehow, after four years and two weeks in the White House, and all the time before that he spent on the campaign trail, putting up with everything Republicans have hurled at him, he still hasn’t learned his lesson. What is it going to take, Mr. President, for [...]
The Gamer’s Code of Chivalry: An Introduction
How I yearn for the golden days of multiplayer gaming. You and a couple of friends, sitting on the edge of someone’s bed or on the floor, staring into some tiny television set while you waited patiently for your turn to come up, joking and laughing and eating pizza together. Sure, there were the occasional [...]
