Something was missing from this last Thanksgiving. Well, okay…a lot was. We’re not on speaking terms with my wife’s family, my father is down in Florida living it up for retirement, and my super busy mother in Indiana was…well, too super busy. As a result, it was just me, my wife, and the kids. We […]

Comments Off on Thankgiving – Notable Gaming Gimmicks (AKA Cranberries)My Paranoia – Free To Play
November 27th, 2011 gunsage I’m 29 and I’ve been gaming since I was 5. To me, a game can be many things, but most of the time, it’s a game you MIGHT play in the arcade, then hope it comes in some sort of console version right to your home. Back in my day (oh man I hoped I’d […]
Wonderpod Episode 89
November 18th, 2011 Bruce McGee It is that time of the year. It is gameageddon. We barely survived the avalanche of new releases this week. So you can expect lots of talk about dragons, saints, master chief, and Mario in his fur suit. We of course found other topics to talk about as well. So sit back and relax because […]
Hand Holding Vs. Being Totally Lost
November 15th, 2011 gunsage Sometimes moderation really is best, as is the case in hand holding vs. being totally lost. What the hell am I even talking about? We’ve all been there. “I know I move the joystick to go forward, thanks. Yes, I’m pretty sure the jump button still makes me jump. Way to go, I never would’ve […]
You Love It, I Hate It – Chrono Cross
October 23rd, 2011 gunsage I’m hoping this will be a new series I can get going and I’m starting with something that, as will be a trend in this series, people seem to universally love, but I just can’t “get:” Chrono Cross. Now initially, I didn’t like this game because it didn’t feel enough like Chrono Trigger. I halfway […]
A Xeno Retrospective
October 16th, 2011 gunsage Xenogears was a fan-fucking-tastic game. In fact, if you’ll recall it won RPG of the Year for me that year. I cannot honestly speak more higher of it. If you like sci-fi, martial arts, giant robots, anime, RPGs, oldschool Squaresoft, or any combination thereof, there is seriously no reason to pass that bitch up. And […]
PatMan Picks N64 classics. Star Wars Shadows Of The Empire.
October 15th, 2011 PatMan Star Wars Shadows Of The Empire is yet another example of my fondness of expanding the Star Wars universe into interactive video game form. I am particularly fond of this title as it released near the very launch of the N64, was very ambitious for its time, and turned out to be great fun. Lucas Arts would develop better looking […]

Wonderpod Episode 84
October 14th, 2011 Bruce McGee Time for some hot Wonderpod action. This week we wander off the beaten path format wise. The show is still about video games and was a lot of fun to record. You, the fine listening audience will have to tell us what you think of us mixing it up a bit. If you like it […]
Skyrim – Teaching Us How Frail And Weak We Are Through Gaming
When you play an RPG, you’re constantly told that you’re the chosen one, but still made to feel weak, even though you have incredible powers. It’s a constant contradiction. Look, in the Breath of Fire games, you can change into A FUCKING DRAGON, but often there are forces far more powerful than you and your […]
