Patman Picks N64 Favorites: 1080 Snowboarding

Living in Canada, you would think I am a fan of winter sports.And to be fair, I have skied down Rocky Mountains and ice skated around the Olympic oval, trying not to stare at speed skaters oddly shaped legs. But, I grew up just not really being into most winter sports, unless snow ball fights, building forts of ice and tobogganing count! So it […]

Its time again for more retro wrestling favorites from Calgary, Alberta, Canada! A few weeks ago I featured a 6 man tag team match featuring the British Bulldogs & Don Moraco. This time, we will take a look at a great match that took place only a few weeks prior to that event. The Stampede International […]

PatMan Plays: Rayman Origins. 4 Mins Of Gameplay Goodness!

Welcome to another PatMan plays. This time around I bring you another “shakey cam” video of me playing videogames.

This is one of the most beautiful video games I have played in a long […]

PatMan Picks N64 Favorites: Goldeneye 007.

Before the N64, the only place for a good first person shooter was on the PC. But then came Turok with, for its time,  superior visuals filled with full polygonal graphics and a more open environment than the traditional corridor shooters on PC. PC games would, of course, very quickly catch up to the N64 with the use of 3D graphics cards, […]

PatMan Plays: Mario Kart 7. Staring PatMan’s Mii !

My favorite Mario Kart title of all time was on the Nintendo DS. It took all the fun of a console Mario Kart racer and, for the first time, actually made it possible to feel like I was playing a console Mario Kart on a hand held. Not to mention the fact that Mario Kart DS was the very first Nintendo game to go online, […]

PatMan Picks Stampede Classics. Bret Hart vs Animal Hamaguchi

Welcome back to another trip in the Stampede time machine, were we will yet again look back at some classic old school wrestling from some of the legends of the past.

PatMan Picks Stampede Classics. “Magnificent” Don Muraco & The British Bulldogs 3 Man Team!

Welcome to another episode of Stampede Wrestlings classic moments. This time around I bring you the Magnificent Don Muraco, who had only recently left the WWF and ventured to Calgary. The” Magnificent One” would find great success in the Stampede promotion. He won the Heavyweight Championship by defeating Mike Shaw( Bastian Booger, Norman The Lunatic) in late 1988. He would defend that title against all comers […]

PatMan Picks N64 Favorites: Killer Instinct Gold.

With the massive popularity of the latest Mortal Kombat reboot and the most recent Street Fighter game one thing is certain. Gamers are in love with the combination of current, cutting edge visuals and sounds along with the return of a more, classic, 2D fighting style of old.  While the old Streetfighters and MK games […]

Why The Wpod Crew Still Wont Be Buying COD MW3…Yet.

Unless you somehow didn’t pick up the humorously named “limited edition” that was amply avalable on shelves, or you forgot to  preorder the game, the absolutly free DLC pack for Battlefield 3 is almost here.  And ,a brand shinny new trailer from EA has shown off  just how amazing and fun one of  4 maps will […]

PatMan Plays : Super Mario 3D Land. First Impressions!

I don’t think there is a single Super Mario platform game that I have not played and enjoyed. However, to be honest, Super Mario 3D Land is probably my most anticipated Super Mario platform game in a long, long time. Its the first  true , “real 3DS game”, created from the ground up specifically to utilize the 3DS unique hardware. This […]
