Who or what the fuck is “Media Discovery”?

Hi Francis, I was wondering whether you’d be interested in selling advertising space on Ss-Burnout.com? The advertisement would be unobtrusive and we can pay you an annual upfront payment for the advertising space. Uh-huh.  Unobtrusive ads?  Annual upfront payment?  Riiiiight. We can also provide guest blog posts from industry experts in many cases. I’m allergic…

Ke$ha – Warrior

  Before I jump into this review, I probably should introduce myself for the 200th time as I should blog more consistently. I am hear to blog about the random pop culture things that are going on and the occasional sport blog. About me you ask? I am the brother of the guy who started this, I think…

So I went to a wine bar….

  Dude. This wine was mad dope. It tasted really good! Maybe that’s why the price per sample was 5 bucks. Um….what was it called again? I found myself at Splash Wine Lounge, in North Park.  They have a VERY impressive selection of wines to drink.  The food looked good too, but I was pretty…

Favorite JRPG Battle Theme #7 – Parasite Eve – Arise Within You

1998.  Fresh off the success of Final Fantasy VII, Squaresoft partners with Electronic Arts to become Square Electronic Arts LLC, and that means MORE GLORIOUS NIPPON ROLE PLAYING GAMES!  One of the first titles to drop during this partnership was Parasite Eve.  It combined guns, free movement, and the Square ATB system!  Fun!  And the…

[CGS] Detoonified!!

Today on Cool Geeky Shit, we feature a very cool geeky, artistic, and lively person, and a former member of SSB when it was still “Team Mixed Nuts”.  Her name is Sapphire Sandalo, and she’s one half of the duo that runs Detoonified, a new video series that deconstructs, explains, and enlightens viewers on what…

I’ve just found the single reason why you should watch Series 19 of Top Gear UK.

I’m a car guy, so naturally, I’m a fan of Top Gear.  Lots of cocking about.  I’d like to think that SSB has a bit of that.  Nay, a lot of that.  🙂    

My Top Ten JRPG Battle Themes: #9 and #8

Numbers 9 and 8 on my JRPG battle theme countdown both come from Namco’s “Tales” franchise.  The franchise doesn’t have a big fanbase as Final Fantasy, but I bet you that the fanbase is just as fervent, if not more so than their counterparts from Square, Capcom….maybe not Atlus. #9 is “Drawing! Grind!” from Tales of…

Battle Hero Absolute: Episode 10!

    Shit gets real!  Fighting!  Henshin sequences!  Keith?    

My top ten JRPG battle themes. #10.

A geek-centric post.  Haven’t done one of those in a while.  I can’t abandon our geek audience, right?  That would majorly suck.  Anywhoo, I’ve decided to count down my favorite Japanese RPG battle themes.  These were the conditions of my selections: 1. The game had to developed in Japan. 2. The game had to play…
