Negatron’s Broken Joystick: Power Stone

Oh holy crap! did I pour an insane amount of hours into this game. Why? because it delivered a coherent and endless entertaining fighting mechanic that was truly novel, maintaining the essence of a 2D fighter and seamlessly adapting it to a 3D arena. I actually had two long periods of play with this game,…

Crossing Over – Project X Zone

Capcom, Namco, crossing over must be working out for you, because you decided to throw Bandai and Sega into the mix. Project X Zone is another crossover game featuring characters from the franchises mentioned in my previous sentence.  I can probably go over the plot with you.  World crisis threatens the dimensions all the characters…

E3 is upon us!

And you know what that means.  A few of us at Team Mixed Nuts are going to be livetweeting the event as….we watch streams.  That means we’re watching people watch people who are watching E3. Our twitter links are at the lower left of the page.  But in case you get lazy.. @twitchykun is mine….

Twitchy’s Videogame Rocking Chair – Bust a Groove/Bust a Groove 2 Dance Tengoku Mix

First off, a quick shoutout to the peeps at rhythmemotion, ‘cuz they’ve covered Bust a Groove already.  However, I’m going to add my own sardonic wit to this entry, like I always do. Geeks…normally can’t dance.  I’m no exception.  I can do martial arts just fine.  Throw me into a ring and I can shuffle…

Twitchy’s Videogame Rocking Chair – The “Soul” Series.

The sound of a creaky rocking chair fills the room you’re reading this in.  Suddenly, this song by Suzi Kim kicks in and you’re transported to a time when fighting was commonplace.  Tales of souls and swords were eternally retold, and you would watch the intro sequence over and over again to watch Sophitia get…

Geek Pride Day

Today’s May 25, and it’s National Geek Pride day.  Don’t forget to bring a towel. I got to thinking about the meaning of “Geek Pride Day”.  You’re proud to be a geek.  But are you, really?  There’s a geek purity test on the internets somewhere, go do a couple and see how you fare. I’ve…

Crossing Over #2

People were on a Street Fighter X Tekken binge a while back.  Not exactly my cup of tea, but I digress.  That wasn’t the first time Namco and Capcom have crossed paths with each other.  Take a look at this clip from the RPG “Namco X Capcom” (pronounced Namco cross Capcom, because they’re so edgy…

For all our SNK/Capcom/Tony Jaa fans….

  Nothing’s gonna stop Tony Jaa from finding GEESE.

Crossing Over.

Normally, I’m a full manga/anime otaku.  I don’t usually touch on ‘murrican comics ‘cuz I leave that stuff to Bruze and Negatron.  However, this weekend was different. First off, I saw “The Avengers”.  And by God was it a brilliant movie.  It had everything you’d want in a comic book movie.  And it had that…
