DC Universe Online – Interview with John Blakely
This interview happened at the end of our day at the DCUO studio. I had lost track of time while playing the game, and if it hadn’t been for SOE Public Relations Specialist extraordinaire Ryan Peters, I would have missed my chance to sit down and ask the questions that I and our staff worked so hard to put together! With that being said, if you like the interview as I’ve transcribed it...[Read More]

DC Universe Online – Press Event
Last Monday, November 1, I found myself in a place I had not been for close to five years; an airport. I was on my way to Texas (there’s a bad country song in there, somewhere), where I was invited by Sony Online Entertainment to attend a semi-exclusive press event and game preview for their upcoming game, DC Universe Online. I had a chance to interview Sony Online Entertainment’s Vice...[Read More]

Games & Legal Problems
There has always been a direct link to legal issues when it comes to video games, but today, I have something a step away from the typical “violent video games lead to violent people.” You won’t believe what’s in store!
Sonic in animation: A Retrospective Part 2
Welcome back to the madness that often is called “adapting video games into animation”. Previously, I started by talking about that one classic character that has had more success than most in regards to being adapted, my favorite blue hedgehog Sonic.

Sonic in animation: A Retrospective Part 1
What can I say about Sonic the Hedgehog? He’s definitely one of my all-time favorite video game heroes, he’s had one of the longest careers in the industry, and he’s also often the center of flame-wars between factions of his fandom. But I always find Sonic unique in his ability to transcend past the games. In particular, Sonic has had more success in animation than most game ico...[Read More]
Beware of My Custom Xbox
Months ago I saw a friend of mine on Facebook ‘Like’ this page for My Custom Xbox (also known as My Custom Controller). When I went and took a look of the page, out of curiosity, I saw that it was a company that made custom Xbox 360 controllers. Since I’m obviously into that sort of stuff, and my friend was doing some stuff with them at that time, I clicked ‘Like’ as ...[Read More]
