Mario Party 8 – Wii
I can’t remember if we’ve made a blog discussing Mario Party 8 for the Wii, but if we have… great. It’s a little after 8 in the morning and frankly I can’t be bothered to search through the archives 🙂 Chris and I have owned Mario Party 8 since February, and last night was the 2nd time we’ve played it. It’s a great game with a lot of mini-games so our lack ...[Read More]
Wii Love You
For the past few days, I’ve been feeling an urge to get back and play Wii Fit. It’s been awhile and I’m normally a really lazy person so I don’t know why I felt like sweating, being sore, and making an ass out of myself. I was going to play it back on Tuesday, but Chris came home from work early so I didn’t bother with it. Today, however, was a different story. As the...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 14
Progress Update 14 starts me off with another postcard from Luigi, claiming to have found another star in an early level! I remember the area as part of the first time I encountered the Bee Mario mushroom, so I headed over to the Honeyhive Galaxy for an easy star and a ridiculous number of star bits! I decided at this point to try the Trial Galaxies opened up by the Green Sling Star I had restor...[Read More]
MORAL KOMBAT!
17 years ago, the world was given Mortal Kombat; a video game that was partially responsible for the creation of the ESRB due to high levels of violence, blood, and gore. Needless to say, it was a hit. However, no game is perfect for its entire target audience, not even Mortal Kombat. The question remains; how can the remaining target demographic be captured by the series? It’s all a mat...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 13
Going into Progress Update 13, I’ve already completed two of the five galaxies in the Bedroom Observatory. The next one up is the Dusty Dune Galaxy which, at first look, seems to be a full desert galaxy. Almost immediately, I met up with an old friend: Dry Bones! After passing him by, I encountered a pair of tornadoes. When I jumped in, it launched me into a helicopter spin that hovered ...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 12
After playing some Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy with Lindsey, she headed off, and I started up Super Mario Galaxy! I headed back into the Bedroom Observatory, and noticed that the Freezeflame Galaxy had a Cosmic Comet in orbit! I jumped in and got ready to race! One quick dash later, I have another star. I headed back into the Freeflame Galaxy for the third official star. This star...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 11
Progress update 11 is here! As soon as I started my play file, I noticed that one of the toadstools had a mail icon, meaning I had a message. I retrieved a letter from Luigi, who was informing me that he had found a new star in one of my previous galaxies. He included a snapshot of the location so that I could figure out what galaxy he was in. I also received a letter from Princess Peach, whic...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 10
One month since progress update 9 has passed, and we have finally arrived at progress update 10! I finally sat down and put Super Mario Galaxy back into the Wii. Last time I checked in, I had completed three full observatories, and was looking forward to entering into the fourth observatory, the Bedroom Observatory. The Bedroom Observatory, as I mentioned in progress update 9, differs from the ...[Read More]
Fable (Xbox)
Last week, I finally had the chance to play through Fable on the Xbox. I remember looking forward to this game with great anticipation when it was first announced, but never having the chance to give it a try. Last week, in a used game store, we saw a clean copy for 7.99, and picked it up fairly quickly. We got home, and I started my life in Albion. The controls were fantastic. I had no proble...[Read More]
Dreamcast Goodness
Wow, we’ve really fallen behind on our posting. Sorry about that, but it couldn’t be helped. I needed a bit of a break from having to think of something every single day. Hopefully I’m ready to get back into the swing of things! A few weeks ago, during one of our MehCast episodes, we discussed my broken Dreamcast console and how I truly missed it. One of our amazing viewers, ...[Read More]
Duke Nukem Forever/Duke Nukem Never
Almost 12 years have passed since the sequel to Duke Nukem 3D was announced by 3D Realms. 12 long years of screenshots, development updates, and interminable delays. Duke Nukem Forever has become a vaporware legend for it’s 12 year development period with no playable demo or beta release, and every-few-years screenshot releases. It seems that the delays may be over, albeit not in the way ...[Read More]
