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 […]

Wonderpod Episode 85
The celestial calender tells me it’s Friday. That means it is time for another episode of Wonderpod. This weeks show is the brain child of our very own Jon, along with special guest the traveling G brothers. We got a great show all ready for you to listen to. So go, click the thing and […]
A Xeno Retrospective
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.
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 […]
The War On.. Video Game o-Mania, Falcons And Stars
Welcome to the War for another week. In this column, I bring you my reviews of Dead Island and NHL 12, plus some comments on the Dallas Stars and the Atlanta Falcons. So, without further adieu, as it is a long column (I should know, I wrote this piece after I wrote the reviews), I […]
Starting Fresh

How To Not Suck At Team Fortress 2
I’m going to assume you’re reading this for one of three possible reasons. One, you’re still new to Team Fortress 2 and you’re not really sure what you’re doing, frustrated, etc. Two, you’re not new, but you could use some pointers. Or three, you just read shit I post. Honestly, this FAQ of sorts is […]
My Chantelise Review
The indie scene is quite a popular place these days. It often reminds me of independent films; sometimes they’re not quite as good as big budget titles, but often if the director’s heart’s in the right place (or in this case the developer’s), the result is a lot of clever features, quirks, artistic style, incredible […]
Mortal Kombat 9
Hey friends. If you are like me, you love yourself some Mortal Kombat action. I myself own a Wii, so I haven’t been able to participate in this year’s revival of that klassic (with a k, get it?!) experience. HOWEVER! I have seen the story mode on YouTube and it is FANTASTIC. Just from a […]
