SDCC 2013: Friends, Family, Geek Nirvana.

First off, thanks to my friends, family, and all you cool geeks that made it out to SDCC 2013.  You all deserve a round of applause. Go ahead, I’ll wait. *waiting* Okay, good.  Here are my pictures from that fun-filled nerd orgy.  Special thanks to my crew, Jabronie Pictures, Detoonified, The Stunt People, Almost Good…

Happy birthday, Tales! The quintessential JRPG franchise.

I know this is rather late in coming, but I’d like to wish a happy 15th birthday to the Tales franchise.  For 15 years, Namco Bandai’s JRPG franchise has produced some solid hits that I’ve taken a shine to.  To me, they’re the proper, quintessential JRPG.  What makes this franchise stand out, and makes them…

XBAWKS TOLD STATUS: TOLDTINO’S PIZZA ROLLS

Sony just had their E3 press conference.  Good games. Final Fantasy Versus-XIII became Final Fantasy XV.  Nice. Kingdom Hearts III. FINALLY. SPORTS GAEMS. Assassin’s Creed IV. And I’m sure rhythmem#tion.net has a nice write up too.  This is where SSB gets real. During the press conference, they dropped their bombshell announcement.  Used games work on…

Square-Enix of America President and CEO Mike Fischer Resigns – IGN

Square-Enix of America President and CEO Mike Fischer Resigns – IGN. Is it early enough for me to do my obituary on Squaresoft?  Is it?

SSB’s “Crazy moms of the otaku world!”

It’s Mother’s Day, and since I don’t think we honor our mommies enough, I’m going to dedicate this entire week to moms.  Especially geeks in the anime/manga/videogames that we all love.  I’m going to start with… Day #1 – Final Fantasy VII’s “JENOVA” JENOVA.  An alien lifeform that killed off a bunch of native people,…

My game review criteria – it’s pretty damn simple

I’ve played a ton of games in my life, and I can tell you that I’ve read a lot of corresponding game reviews.  Do I trust ’em?  No.  Like most things, you’ve gotta take what they say with a grain of salt.  Some websites need the whole fuckin’ can of Morton salt.  When it rains…

Super Spice Bros 2

This is the first time I’ve ever seen this YouTube video. I must say. I found it quite hilarious! Terry Crews + Old Spice + Super Mario Bros 2 = Super Spice Bros 2. I love the Old Spice commercials, and this mashup just takes it to another level. Mowtendoo YouTube user really loves his Terry Crews. All you Nintendo geeks will/must…

RIP LucasArts May 1982 – April 3, 2013

According to Kotaku, LucasArts was axed today by Disney. Now excuse me while I pour out a 40 oz for Guybrush Threepwood, Sam and Max, Indiana Jones, and those homies inside Maniac Mansion.

WonderCon 2013 Days 2-3, ‘cuz we’re all about that geek life.

WonderCon 2013 wasn’t that bad at all.  It reminds me of how San Diego Comic Con used to be.  Smaller, more intimate, and a helluva lot easier to get into.  That being said, I was able to get through the entire con floor within the span of a few minutes. The size of a con…
