Inquisition of the Week: Small World

March 2, 2010 by joshx0rfz

This week’s inquisition has more to do with a late article by myself. After snowmageddon and snowpocalypse hit the east coast, I found myself playing a great deal of video games. I had a good bit of down time and so did all my friends. We were all stuck in our respective houses and still wanted to hang out with one another. This isn’t exactly a new thing to me but it did get me a bit nostalgic for the times when my friends and I really could hang out all the time and play games of various types for long stretches of time.

October 20, 2008 by joshx0rfz

I don’t even have a PS3 but I heard the news (via kotaku, joystiq, slashdot, and every other gaming publication) about Little Big Planet‘s delay. What was strange was the reason – for a song. I’m not going to bother getting into the silliness of the whole thing but it has spawned a side effect […]

Review: Braid

August 26, 2008 by joshx0rfz

In short: Braid is an excellent game. It successfully integrates all aspects of game making into one cohesive unit with a mature theme. Even with the $15 price tag, it is worth downloading. I read a bit about a game called Braid on Penny Arcade the other day. I tend to agree with Tycho about […]

About the Author

  • joshx0rfz

    Josh was never born, he is, was and always will be. He is the solution to the Prime Mover dilemma. He plays video games entirely too much and his opinion to knowledge ratio is out of whack. Meaning, too much opinion, not enough knowledge.
