The day the music (game genre) died

On April 2, 2013, Harmonix officially stopped releasing new songs for their successful Rock Band series of games. It feels that the music game genre died with it and people hanging up their plastic guitars, wrapping up their USB mics and covering up their fake drum kits. Or putting them in large boxes. But what…

All hail the (CD-R) King!

Let me tell you a story. A story pretty much like a fairy tale… Once upon a time, there was a little kiosk. It was a very humble kiosk in the middle of a busy mall. While most of the stores were selling high-end and expensive items, this humble store only sold blank CDs and…

My thoughts on Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference

When Microsoft announced the Xbox One several weeks ago, I don’t think they expected the gaming public to be so angry with all the restrictions they implemented on their upcoming system. Because of this, it was extremely important for Microsoft to have a great showing for their press conference in E3. Now that they just…

Saving the Princess: Is it really misogynistic?

The press conference didn’t really show the games but the ones that they did show were pretty impressive (which I’ll get into later). The press conference mostly covered the power and the non-gaming features that…

Dinosaurs: The most depressing ending I’ve seen

Before you read this article, please be aware that I may be revealing the endings to some television programs to illustrate my point. So, only read on if you’re okay with spoilers. We’ve all seen series that can’t give a satisfying conclusion. People have complained about the ending of The Sopranos abrupt “fade to black”…

Calling all gamers: Can’t we just all get along?

In November of last year, Nintendo released the Wii U to the public. Sony announced the specs of their upcoming Playstation 4 console in February of this year. We also know that Microsoft is planning to make a big announcement soon with a press release for their new Xbox 720 (or whatever they’re going to…

Ahead of My Time

You geeks today have no idea how lucky you have it now. When I got into college, I was already in love with video games and I had some knowledge about comics from hanging out with my friends in high school.  I was also starting to watch a “cartoon” called Ranma 1/2. I’m not sure…
