Stick it to 'em MSNBC – about damn time

April 24, 2007 by joshx0rfz

Jack Thompson gets it for his ridiculous comments on the VT shootings. Linky Edit by Bartoneus: It looks like he’s getting called out on his BS by the San Francisco Chronicle too, and I imagine more to come.

The Many Fates of Mario Mario

April 22, 2007 by Dave

I’m currently blasting my way through Super Paper Mario, which is ridiculously fun and old school, but may be a tad too short. So here’s a couple starring-Mario webcomics and art pieces that have caught our attention recently: Sticky Note Theatre: The Untold Enemies of Mario Perry Bible Fellowship: Mario Too   VGCats: Koopa! Thrice Fresh: […]

YouTube Game Trailer of the Week: Poor Samus Strips Again Edition

April 20, 2007 by Dave

I made another exception to my YouTube only policy- this video of Master Chief and Samus fighting Matrix style has a lot going for it, if only marred by a bit of excessive cheesecake.

The Wii is Taking a Turn to the Dark Side

April 15, 2007 by The O

While I’ve been an avid fan of console systems and games that Nintendo has produced since its origin, I’ve been slightly disheartened by the game selection in recent years. Nintendo repeatedly has had the fewest titles for their systems since the Nintendo 64 and too many of the select few making production are going down […]

Review: Guitar Hero II

April 5, 2007 by drscotto

With a little practice, you can become the next Slash, Hendrix, or Peter Frampton! Well, at least in your own mind. Fresh off the success of Guitar Hero, Red Octane has released the first sequel to the highly acclaimed game. Guitar Hero II features new songs, more songs, new venues, and new characters. The Xbox […]

YouTube of the Week: Go Go Mario Edition

April 3, 2007 by Dave

A version of the Mario theme played at a “Big Band Live” event that includes lyrics to the classic theme. You can see the translated lyrics on Destructoid, which is where this video hails from. Previous Mario coverage: Super Black Mamba Bros. Edition, The Game Is Never Over, For Mario Edition, and Super Mario Live.

Don't Believe the Anti-Hype

March 28, 2007 by Bartoneus

No Random Encounter this week, I’m too busy prepping for next week’s excellence! ‘Nerd Culture’ is a very unique thing; we place much of our spirits upon movies and games, the things which entertain us the most. We become inextricably attached to these things, and we grow to love or nurture them, investing a part […]

Inq. of the Week: For Violence!

March 26, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s Inquisition turned out a bit skewed, as some one/thing decided to spam vote for Superman 24 times in a row one morning.  Adjusting for this, the end results included 46 votes and I’d like to thank everyone who voted (and didn’t cheat) for participating!  It turns out the most of you (28%) would […]

Nostradamus Called It

March 21, 2007 by Bartoneus

A quickie for this week, which disheartens me because of the last two weeks missed, bringing my tally for the year to -3 comics from the goal. I keep not illusions of necessarily ending the year in the positive, simply an improvement over last year will suit me well enough, but I wouldn’t have set […]

WoW Action Figures Update

March 21, 2007 by Bartoneus

To tide you over until the Random Encounter is up later today, I wanted to fulfill one of my promises made back in early February.  I said that I would post images of the World of Warcraft action figures as soon as they came out, but as I don’t visit the WoW homepage very often I must […]

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.
