The Evolution 2013 (EVO 2K13 for short) fighting game tournament happened over the weekend. And, honestly, this was probably one of the best tournaments so far. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, EVO is a gaming tournament that exclusively features fighting games. While there are other smaller tournaments out there, EVO…
Let me start out by saying that I’m probably the target demographic for Pacific Rim. After all, it has giant robots fighting huge monsters. Being a fan of the Super Robot craze of the early 80’s and Godzilla movies (Not the American version. That was an abomination), I was stoked to see this movie. At…
Hiya! Last time, I wrote about video game stories and how great they can be. Well, a great story cannot make up for the fact of playing a godawful game. These games usually get burned during review time but what about older games? That’s where the Angry Video Game Nerd comes in. I came across…
I’ve never been a huge fan of the Tekken series since I’ve always been a major supporter for Street Fighter. Still, when it was announced that the next version of Namco Bandai’s hit fighting series was going to be available for free, I was excited. Imagine being able to play a good fighting game… for…
Remember the 80’s? Yeah, I know I’m dating myself by saying that but the 80’s was actually a great time to be a kid. Not a geek. A kid. One of those reasons was the numerous cartoons that were showing during this time. He-Man. GI Joe. Transformers. MASK. Thundercats. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That’s just from…
Hiya! Last week, I posted something regarding bad video game endings. It’s a good thing that this isn’t the case all the time. In fact, a lot of my favorite video games not only have excellent endings but great stories as well. I guess the most recent one I should mention is the Uncharted series.…
When I was young, there were two specific dates that I was waiting for. The first being 1999 and the second was the year 2005. The former would be the year when the SDF-1 would crash into the South Ataria Island, which would launch the events of the Macross saga. The latter year would be…
Even though being a geek is kind of “cool” at this point in time, I find it hard to believe I still have to defend my geeky pastimes to a lot of people. Right now, my main hobby is playing video games. I do have a pretty healthy interest in toys, movies, sci-fi, fantasy, comics…
While the two of them had starred together in the second Expendables film, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger haven’t been in a movie as the primary stars. That is, until Escape Plan. Here’s the first trailer to the film: Escape Plan is scheduled for release on the 27th of September later this year.
Hiya! I’ve already gave my feelings with how things that get made into movies and it’s more important that the story is actually good. But even if the story is awesome, a bad ending can sour the entire experience. Well, since I’m talking about endings of stuff, I better give a SPOILER warning! I guess…
