We will be discussing World of Meh!, One Love for Chi, Blogathon, and even our fantastic prizes. On their site, they have a chat box so you can even talk to us and possibly get a mention on air! To watch us make complete fools of ...[Read More]
Blockbuster Used Game Deals
Back when Chris and I went to rent LEGO Harry Potter, the guy at Blockbuster told us about some used games he had behind the counter. All were for Xbox 360, and the prices were fantastic! The games, which were all $6.99, came in a generic semi-frosted clear case, but no box art, and no booklet. At first, it seemed like all titles were various sports games, but then Assassins Creed II and Star Wars...[Read More]

Civilization V Special Edition
I like special editions. I like the Civilization series. With that in mind, surely you can imagine the fanboy squeal that escaped my mouth this morning when I heard that Civilization V will have a Special Edition. It went something like, “eee!” (I am at work, so I had to restrain myself somewhat). Unfortunately, we don’t have any pictures of the special edition and it’s g...[Read More]
Video Game Tattoos: Yay or Nay?
At some point in life, everybody considers getting a tattoo whether they want to admit it or not. Some go through with it, while others choose not to for various reasons.
Review: LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 (X360)
Last Friday, Chris and I rented the recent title to hit the LEGO video game franchise, LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4. I guess you could say I’m a fan of the LEGO game series. I played through LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for regular Xbox, and then we got LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the 360. Months ago we rented LEGO Batman, but weren’t impressed. P...[Read More]
Dragon Age 2
Back in 2009, BioWare released a game called Dragon Age: Origins. Since that time, it has been enhanced with four playable DLC packs and a full on expansion pack (not in that order). Come to think of it, we may have mentioned them before. Today, BioWare announced Dragon Age 2, coming to us sometime in March 2011. Dragon Age 2 introduces a new character to the Dragon Age world: Hawke. From the ...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins Leliana’s Song (X360 DLC)
Back in June, during the excitement of E3, BioWare announced new DLC on the way for Dragon Age: Origins titled Leliana’s Song. Of course I was excited, but after the semi-bland Darkspawn Chronicles, Chris was very apprehensive. On Tuesday morning, the day of launch, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new DLC, but I also was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed. From watching the...[Read More]
Review: Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air (PC)
Today, I spent a good portion of my time playing, and completing, Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air by PlayFirst. Well before the game was released, I knew I wanted to play it. I’m a huge fan of hidden-object games, so the recent installment to the Dream Chronicles franchise was a must-have. I will admit that The Book of Air is the first Dream Chronicles game I’ve ever played, so I was...[Read More]
The Death of a Genre
Not all stories have happy endings. Once upon a time, so called “spoof” films were intelligent, well-written, relevant, and genuinely funny. Some parody films have become classic films in their own right. Films such as Blazing Saddles, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Naked Gun, and Airplane! have provided phrases that are still quoted to this day, decades after they were released. ...[Read More]
Real Names for Blizzard Forums
In some ways, the Internet is like a medieval fantasy story. The incompetent fools provide entertainment for the savvy much like a jester would for a king. Websites build nations of loyal followers who take a fierce pride in their group, much like a king’s subjects would have pride in their kingdom. Helpful communities provide assistance and guidance with technical issues in the way a shi...[Read More]
