The Note

June 14, 2011 by Vanir

Last night, I found a note written in my own handwriting that I didn’t remember writing. It said only “HE WAS VERY BAD.” Do I simply have a bad memory, or is something more sinister afoot? Has something sinister happened that I simply forgot about? Is Bigfoot involved? Read on, and share the constant nightmare that has become my life.

Take a stroll down memory lane. Remember what it was like to spend all your Mom’s money 50c at a time on Dragon’s Lair. Weep at the loss of Commodore and the Amiga. Find out Apple’s place in the universe, and if any of this seemingly random information relates to each other!

Uncle Vanir’s Jedi Jamboree

I personally would like to see every last one of the Presidents of the United States in a fighting game, their legacy distilled into a couple of special attacks.

Product Tie-in Video Games 101: A Lesson in Love and Paychecks

July 10, 2009 by guest

Today we’re going to be discussing one of the biggest money makers for video game studios; Product Tie-ins. They are something that we’ve been accustomed to in video games, and all can form a general consensus when we hear their name said. From E.T. to Chronicles of Riddick, video games based on movies have been around for most of your brief gaming lives. When did they start? Were they always bland and overpriced?
