It’s the beginning of the new year, which means the blogosphereoversointerwebtube is a buzz analyzing the previous year. Here’s some interesting highlights of the last week: Heidi over at The Beat sent a survey to a group of comics professionals about the biggest story in comics of the past year and what’s to come in […]

We Work With Wii

December 22, 2006 by Dave

The glowing blue light that greeted me this morning informed me that a present was waiting for me on my Wii: the trial release of the browser for Wii has been released! And of course, Critical Hits was the first page I loaded. I’m happy to report that the page works perfectly with the Wii […]

The Christmastide Cometh

December 21, 2006 by Bartoneus

With Christmas a scant amount of days away, everyone pretty much starts the slow process of stopping everything else they were doing.  The process begins sometime in August, when the first leaf decides it can resist the foul temptations of gravity no longer, or it simply falls for the grass’ endless tauntings of free booze […]

YouTube of the Week: Stop Hiring Him! Edition

December 19, 2006 by Dave

I don’t watch Spike TV, so I didn’t catch these when they first aired. And I cracked up because I didn’t know what was coming. This one is the best, the other two in the series after the jump.

Inq. of the Week: Burning Crusade

December 18, 2006 by Dave

Is it worth the wait? Or will it be same old same old without enough new stuff to keep the game interesting?

Critical Hits Gift Guide #4: Everything Else

December 15, 2006 by Dave

First, how about some shameless pimping! Did you know you can buy a wide variety of products from the Critical Hits Amazon Store? It doesn’t cost you any extra to buy what you were going to anyway, and a little bit gets kicked back to us so we can pay server costs and keep the […]

Inq. of the Week: More Games!

December 11, 2006 by Bartoneus

This week’s inquisition is more of a follow-up to our Third Gift Guide that focused on Games. There are just too many games out these days, whether they’re videogames, boardgames, or tabletop RPGs, we here at Critical Hits can’t possibly play them all and much less know which ones out of each category are going […]

Critical Hits Gift Guide #3: Games

December 7, 2006 by Dave

First, let me give a big shoutout to Ogrecave and their yearly Holiday Gift Guide on games. I’ve found quite a few great games through there and the guys who put it together are very knowledgeable. They focus on a few specific areas of games and list a bunch for each. Also, Boardgamegeek has their […]

Houston…

December 6, 2006 by Bartoneus

Wii Have a Problem! Check it out, a rather excellent site chronicling incidents involving the Wii’s controller and abused televisions the world over!  This one particular image is fantastic, as once you’ve thrown your Wii controller smack through your TV, nothing better to do then draw it on an etch-a-sketch!  I sincerely hope it’s real, […]
