It's been real.

In regards to my thread topic in the Hopefuls group yesterday, what is it about this community that it's members immediately turn in to jerks when they don't like an idea someone else has? I think you took the word "demand" the wrong way and disregarded "what are some of your ideas." My point was the film and video game industries are largely privately owned...

Year of the Game 2: 2008

When I named 2007 the best year in gaming yet, I never expected the following year would have a chance to pummel it. How do you top a year that gave us new Halo, Mario, and Metroid games, the best Call of Duty game yet, the most successful action/rpg hybrid (Mass Effect), and the highest value disc in gaming...

First and foremost I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you who voted to reelect Bush in 2004. It was your foresight that paved the way for Barack Obama to become the first African American President-Elect just one night ago. Had I known then you had the best interest of myself and the rest of the country in...

The truth is that I probably never will and the introduction of Hopefuls has just made it that much more difficult a task. So instead I have decided to bring to you the first ever...

IV: A New Era

As far as narratives in the world of video games goscratch that. As far as narratives in the world of art go, the 30 or so hour ride through Rockstar North's latest opus, Grand Theft Auto IV, rises quickly within reach of the greats. You star as Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant and veteran of the Bosnian War. Fresh off...

2007: Year of the Game Awards

It's been a hell of a year: We discovered the origins of the newest member of Greek mythology, finished the fight, fought in the most realistic war ever to grace our emerging art form, and started a ma' fuckin' Rock Band! Needless to say it would be an extremely excruciating process to determine exactly which of these experiences stood...

Over the holidays Ashley and I finally invested in a Macbook Pro and as a Windows PC user for the entirety of my life thus far, I must say that I'm quite in love. It runs a lot smoother and faster than Windows and in many regards has a more common sense interface. If you have a Mac now or are anytime in the future...

I think I hurt too much when I was a child. My most prevalent childhood memory is of me in the shower at night crying; it was something I did a lot. I was born into an undesirable family and so I, myself, became undesirable. From the moment I was old enough to know what it meant to actually want (or rather, need) to be...
