Commentary

Super Princess Peach has certainly surprised me, and is doing its very best to prove it's worth every penny of the rather hefty price tag (in my opinion) it carried, even after I beat it earlier today. For starters, it is pretty much fanservice central when it comes...

What the?! Looks... interesting. I'll give it a chance, anyway. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

As previously noted, I've finally gotten my hands on Mario Kart Wii and the Wii Wheel packaged alongside it. And for the most part, I've been rather enjoying it, though I've not yet ventured online. I've warmed up to the Wii Wheel, and gotten better at the bikes. For...

Weee! I got my official Mario Kart Wii license at the Nintendo tour! Speaking of which, playing it... man. It is at the same time fun and frustrating. But I think I've figured something out. I think the computer doesn't really target you when you're in first... it...

So we finally have Doritos Collisions here in Canada... well, one set, anyway. Lucky for me, it's the one of the set that I most wanted to try, Hot Wings and Blue Cheese. And better still, I got them at a Mac's convenience store that was holding a special for two...

If I ever met someone who was responsible for this, I would likely administer a beating right there on the spot. That's just going too far. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

I'm really beginning to hate progress. What it seems to ultimately mean is, at least where television is concerned, is "you can't watch this, and so you can't discuss it with your friends." Is Hulu the way of the future? Not for me, it won't even let me watch...

And a hell of a time getting it, too. No one in their right mind would've gone out in that snow for this. Which means I was already ahead. Too bad the damn TTC decided to take the night off on our route on the way home. Or something. Communication is so damn poor,...

Challenge: See how far you can get before it starts to hurt. About page 11 for me, 12 is when it really started to make me wince. On a related note, who says video game NPC's don't have realistic AI? If this is any indication, they're VERY realistic. --LBD...

So, over at Kombo, they've got this not-entirely unique feature going once a week called "What are You Playing this Weekend?" It's pretty much what it promises to be, and I suppose my choices are a little telling insofar as how behind I am on a lot of games: - Hotel...

No doubt many of you who read comics (or at least, those who actually go and buy comic books instead of just reading scans online) know that comic books and video game advertising have been intertwined for quite some time. To that end, some advertisers actually took...

Stuff that bugs me... 1) When businesses don't stick to their hours, or don't post them. Kind of pisses me off to walk to, say, a restaurant whose hours say that they'd be open, and it turns out they aren't, with no explanation. There was a small place up the street I...

So, it's been about a day since I first heard the news: Chris Benoit and his family, all found dead in their home in Atlanta. After the conclusion of Canada's airing of Raw (which I came in the middle of, after Red told me the news), details were still not known, and...

Re: The Wizard, 1989. As much as I love Super Mario Bros. 3, is it me, or did mixing that game with the term "armageddon" seem just a bit silly? Really, you have the announcer making it sound like the end of the world, just to be followed by the World 1 music. Maybe...

In the year 2006, war was beginning. But amidst the rumblings of the rise of a new generation of video game consoles, a group of fans were looking into gaming's past as they hoped it might give rise to a new chapter in the future. For the story of my pitched proposal...

Took me a little searching, but I found today's Virtual Console updates. I have to laugh a little at the comments there, because it's true. I mean, Xevious and R-Type are alright, I guess, but not really my thing. I'm not necessarily one of those who thinks Nintendo...

So found out from AF's thenekomancer that Pauly Shore is the latest celebrity to run afoul of the public. He was doing a stand-up routine, and the crowd was being a bit unruly, and one guy got up on stage, and after being egged-on by the audience, proceeded to punch...

Just poured a small glass of Coke, as I'm waiting for my Crystal Light to chill. On the label, it boasts a chance of winning a PS3. "1 prize a day." It makes me wonder how many of the 400K went into contests like this. Or maybe just one of the prizes is a PS3, and...
