Hey do you like music? I got some records back at my place. You want to come by and check them out? You do? THIS NEVER HAPPENS WITH VIDEO GAME MUSIC. First, a lot of music doesn’t even have physical form because its a tracker file or some arcane format meant to be played on an…

Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Strava
So far the Best Most Awesome has been games and movies. Because what else is there in life, right?! As I’ve already mentioned, friends are for people who don’t own video games. I do leave the house quite a fair bit tho. To do what?! Well…I ride my bike. Yep, I ride my bike…

Top Best Most Awesome 2014: The Lego Movie
Christopher Nolan’s doesn’t write movies. He writes the ‘beginnings’ of movies. All that stuff that happens at the end? Pft, DETAILS. Because of this, I’ve been sorely wishing for a quality Batman movie. Who would’ve guessed that 2014 would have the BEST Batman movie…EVER? Yes, the Lego Movie, a toy-driven franchise, could have easily turned…

The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth
My ‘Top Most Awesome’ series is not in any order, mainly because I don’t know if there is one. BUT one thing stands out for me at the top of my list: Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth. The original BOI was a truly fantastic game with one major flaw: it barely worked. I would get to…

The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Red Letter Media
Some people might say ‘what the fuck is wrong with movies nowadays?’. This is the wrong question. I would prefer to ask ‘what the fuck is wrong with movieGOERS nowadays?’ Why do people invest nine god-damn hours into the Hobbit? Why do people think Inception or Prometheus are good movies? Why do people allow JJ Abrams, Chris…

The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Hearthstone
Oh btw, have you heard of a game called Hearthstone? What? That’s not from 2014? WHATEVS, its my post. And while the game may have been around since March 2013, it is still an impressive force in games.

The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy Hey speaking of movies, did you go see Guardians of the Galaxy? I sure as fuck hope so. While many were hesitant, wondering what the hell this movie was about, I had faith in James Gunn. Why? Simple. Not only did he deliver, but he showed that he’s got the chops…

Review: Getting Ready For A Career As A Video Game Designer
As I was strolling through the kitchen at work today, I saw something amazing. Some commendable soul had brought in for the good of mankind this insightful book: Not only was it a deal at only 99 cents, I could see that the Jefferson County Public Library endorsed it by keeping a copy on its hallowed…

Hearthstone – Gimmickathon!
Hope you all had a great holidays! I’ve taken some time to relax and play some BAAAD Hearthstone with my cousin on his Youtube channel. How bad? How about losing to some gimmicky decks in a Gimmickathon? Some of the decks were actually quite good, and the synergy worked well. Personally my favorites was the…
