EPISODE THIRTEEN: "And There Came A Review"

Not that I don't enjoy being a commentator as opposed to a straightforward critic, but sometimes you just want to review something. So I did, to a largely overlooked budget DS platformer called "Barnyard Blast." The only thing you really need to know is that it's hero is a pig who is also a cowboy and that it actually sets out to spoof "Castlevania" and "Ghosts n' Goblins."

The Long Wait

I know it's been a few weeks since the last episode, but I just wanted to take some time off and gather my thoughts. I should have something out this week, so stay tuned. :)

EPISODE TWELVE: "Sir Mix-A-Lot Would Approve"

See? Technically, it's a whole day LESS than a month since the last update :)

This one is, chiefly, about "Fat Princess"... or, rather, my likely-to-be-in-vain hope that the inevitable (mutually) embarassing dust-up between Gamers and Feminists over "Fat Princess."



Since "Fat Princess" is still yet to be released even for full reviews, this is probably the EARLIEST I've ever been to the party in terms of current-affairs commentary in game journalism. As you'll see in the video, there's a good reason for that: The earlier you hit a subject, the less usable visual material there is to work with.

As such, I'm not even going to pretend that this is one of the more visually-compelling episodes by any means; though I would perhaps beg a small amount of credit for doing ten minutes of commentary largely about anger amongst womenfolk and not doing a single Sarah Palin joke (saving for later, don't worry.)

Blast Off!

2 years ago, on this day, I started this blog. Two years is quite a long time, and a lot has happened that I never imagined! Here's to the next few years:) This started off as a tattoo design for myself, and then somehow i ended up adding a character holding a balloon riding in an old coin-operated machine!

That New Toy Smell

My buddy Dan has just opened a new site all about toys and action figures called That New Toy Smell. If you get a chance head over there and check out the new site. Here's a video that should give you some idea of what the site will be like.

Be sure to Let Dan Know what you think of it. :)

Taking the Week Off

I've been running full speed ahead on the show lately, but I must admit that I'm feeling kinda burnt out. So I've decided to take a week off and just relax, and by relax I mean Play Civilization Revolution. I've always loved the Civ games, but lately I haven't had enough time to really get into them. CivRev is like the perfect solution to my problem. It's a quicker more streamlined version of the game I love. I've really been enjoying it.
Well, I just wanted to let you guys know where I was. Now I'm off to Listen to Retronauts (this weeks show features my good friend Andy) and play some CivRev. Have a good week everyone.
