A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
things that are happening
Hard to Find. Hard to Play. – Now that Nintendo’s Wii can be viewed in a rearview mirror, it is interesting to look back at the entire library to see some games that might have been overlooked for one reason or another. With the Wii WiFi service now completely shut off, the Wii Mini console’s […]
Once again our two heroes, me and Gillman, play through one of the most recent games to have graced the face of modern gaming. This week is the sequel to the critically well received Tales of Xillia. Won’t you join us as our two heroes enjoy some classy JRPG times. Watch live video from Varms […]
For the first time in years, I went back and played through one of my favorite NGPC games – Metal Slug 1st Mission. While the sequel 2nd Mission is definitely superior, 1st Mission is still a great game. This is not a speedrun and I don’t save every hostage but I manged to play through […]
Here is a video of me showing off my Neo Geo Pocket Color (NGPC) collection. I have a couple of systems, a few games, and some unique accessories for this forgotten system. Unfortunately, the camera on my HTC One is terrible so sorry for the bad audio and purple-ish hue. Seriously, it is the worst […]
YOTO: One Only Toast Once – Kellogg’s is celebrating the 50th anniversary of their world renowned Pop-Tart with a “flavor flashback” chocolate vanilla crème design. Personally, I think it is kind of a weak way to celebrate a 50th birthday but these are tasty treats nonetheless. These limited birthday edition tarts come with the standard […]
Changing It Up – Nintendo has listened to customer feedback and just changed their Club Nintendo program by offering even more games starting this month. There are now four Wii U downloadable games available and four 3DS titles available for the August 2014 Club Nintendo program. As expected, most are Virtual Console titles but this […]
Going Digital – Nintendo has just revealed their Platinum and Gold rewards for 2014. Unfortunately, this year is a bit of a letdown because all gifts are digital as opposed to the cool and collectable figures, hats, and posters from previously rewards. In summary, Platinum members get to choose from a wider variety of digital […]
Can I Get Fries With That? – Capitalizing on the success of Mario Kart 8, Nintendo has partnered with McDonald’s to produce some pretty sweet kart racing figures. The hardest part, however, will be collecting’em all. All in all, there are total of 8 toys to collect: Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Toad, Peach, DK, Yoshi, and […]
Fighting Hostess – Taking the fight to Hostess’ doorstep, SaraLee has started a cupcake war with their new Chocolate Crème Cupcakes. While they probably won’t win this pastry melee against the Twinkie Kings, they at least can level the playing field. Just like the Hostess cupcakes every American has been shoving down their pie-holes since […]
Peel Down to Throw Up – Instead of focusing on their unforgettable candy empire, Wonka is dipping their toe into the ice cream realm with these new Peel-A-Pop popsicles. This Nestle owned company really should just stick with what they are good at because this is honestly one of the grossest things I have ever […]
