IGN Presents: Project Milo Extended Demo

You saw the crazy demo of Microsoft's Project Natal at E3 early last month, right? And Peter Molyneux's demonstration of Milo, a boy who can talk and interact with you? Well, it seems that IGN managed to get a little more time with Milo, and have revealed what else...

Here’s a Question for You…

Does anyone have any of those old Christmas Wishbook catalogs from the likes of JC Penny, Sears, or if you're in the right region for it, Belk? Or perhaps other such stores? For the uninformed, "wishbooks" were pretty much what they sounded like: phonebook-thick...

It’s All About the Name, and How You Play It

It's funny how some names find their way into the common, every day vernacular. Band-aids for adhesive bandage strips, Kool-Aid for sugary fruit-flavored drink mixes, or even Coke for just about any soda that a person can't bother remembering the name of, but are...

It’s All Right

Well, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was certainly interesting: He had Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell on as a guest. And I don't mean Mark-Paul Gosselaar. I mean Zack frickin' Morris. It was really wild; he looked just like he did back then-- I almost wondered if...

Remembering Owen

Today has been kind of depressing, and I wish I had managed to post this before the day would end. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that today marks the tenth anniversary of the passing of Owen Hart, who was one of my favorite wrestlers leading up to his untimely death....

“Prepare to be Dazzled”

In 1986, there was the animated TransFormers: The Movie. In 1986, there was the animated My Little Pony: The Movie. In 1987, there was the animated G.I. Joe: The Movie. In 2007, there was the live-action TransFormers movie. In 2009, there will be the live-action G.I....

Happy Birthday, Keiji Inafune!

In writing the post about TransFormers' anniversary, I very nearly forgot to mention that today is also the 44th birthday of Capcom's answer to Nintendo maestro Shigeru Miyamoto, Keiji Inafune! For those who aren't familiar with the name, Mr. Inafune is a pretty...

Celebrating 25 Years of TransFormers: 1984-2009

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the TransFormers franchise. Well, the observed anniversary, anyway; as G.B. Blackrock details on The Allspark, a specific date of Hasbro announcing the toyline or finding the airdate of the first commercial would be entirely too...

Impressions of OutRun Online Arcade

First, I'd like to say that this isn't a "proper" review. I got to spend some time with the game this weekend, enough for some impressions... vroom-vroom! How was that? Just kidding. Anyway... I've found that SEGA's games have always had a very distinct look, feel,...

Happy Birthday, Game Boy and Super Smash Bros.!

Today marks two very special occasions. First, today marks the tenth anniversary of Super Smash Bros.! I'll probably go into some detail soon about my fondness of the series, but for now, you can read what Joe Keiser has to say about the occasion over at 61 Frames per...

Building Excite-ment, Part 3: Excite Truck

For part 1 (Excitebike), click here, and part 2 (Excitebike 64), click here. Nintendo promised the world a Revolution in 2006, and though they changed the name of their then-upcoming console to the Wii, they would bring a revolution to the Excite series at that year's...

Sorry, Folks

Sorry, peeps-- nothing this week. Been running myself ragged doing other stuff, and I need my energy elsewhere for the next few days. But don't worry, I've got plenty of stuff to post about next week, including some *gasp* original writing. Actually, part of that is a...

(Animal) Crossing Over Again

So, what have I been playing as of late? I've actually found myself drawn back in to Animal Crossing: City Folk again. I find I'm enjoying myself more with the Springtime weather there than I had with the Winter. I still think this is probably the definitive version...

Building Excite-ment, part 2: Excitebike 64

For part 1 (Excitebike), click here. Though the legacy of the original Excitebike has continued in various forms since the original's 1984 release, it was not until 16 years later that the game would see its first true sequel. Released in North America on April 30th,...

Building Excite-ment, part 1: Excitebike

Twenty-four years ago, on October 18th, 1985, the Nintendo Entertainment System went on sale in North America for the first time, and one of the first games to accompany the revolutionary system's launch was a motocross racing game known as Excitebike. The game was...

I Made a Difference!

Or, at least, that's what I'll believe so long as David "Walky" Willis doesn't say otherwise. A few weeks ago, he posted this TNI Shortpacked comic over at Toy News International. Following that, I couldn't help but let him know of the recent sightings at...
