Chronicles of Narnia

December 12, 2005 by Bartoneus

It is an unfortunate circumstance that the new movie ‘ The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe’ was immediately taken in by many people as very much the same type of movie as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This comparison went perhaps as deep for most people as the fact that it was released […]

X-Man-aganza!

December 5, 2005 by Bartoneus

The first, or at least what I believe to be the first, images of X-Men 3 have been released to the public. There is a short article written about it on USA Today that, if you’re anything like me, you will only skim and quickly jump to the pictures and stare curiously at lies within.

X-Box 360 Backwards Compatibility?

November 22, 2005 by Bartoneus

In utter amazement, the supply of X-Box 360’s has been severely limited and people were lined up far earlier then they should have been last night into this morning just for the chance to get one console. At least some people were smart enough to not research, and were told this morning in front of […]

Game Review: Zendo

November 16, 2005 by Bartoneus

As was mentioned previously, I know quite a few game designers that seek to enrich and over-analyze the gaming lives of those around them. One of these game designers has managed to create and successfully market one of the best games I’ve ever played, that game is Zendo.

The Game (a rant)

November 9, 2005 by Bartoneus

I feel that it is necessary to point out that most people who play games don’t have the same experiences with them that I do. It started during high school and escalated insanely into my college years, when it became clear that I had friends that were very “special”.

Teamwork (An Umberhulk Riding a Bullette)

November 1, 2005 by Bartoneus

(Edit from the future: this post references an old theme we used, and is entirely based upon a header we had that featured editted images of Umberhulks riding Bullettes…those were the days.  ~Bart) At this point I feel it is necessary to provide an explanation of one of our title blocks for the site. Many […]

Shadow of the Colossus

October 25, 2005 by Bartoneus

Last week I ran out to Best Buy and picked up Shadow of the Colossus for the PS2. Many of you have already heard my rantings about this game, but it is from the developers of one of my favorite PS2 games from long ago called Ico. Both of these games are made with absolutely […]

Realworld of Warcraft

October 25, 2005 by Bartoneus

I’m sure it seemed to make perfect sense at first, but in practice the idea turned out to bring nothing but the apocalypse. In the development of every Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game people must have thought about it thoroughly. I mean, after all, it IS a game of playing roles. So how could such […]

My IPod has more features then the Pentagon

October 19, 2005 by Bartoneus

A new era of technology has dawned. Since the introduction of video capability to the IPod, a gateway to darker and more sinister worlds has flung forth. Government scientists have already begun work on a program to allow satellite link-up with this amazing device, literally letting me check out my own ass wherever I go […]

Lost is the best show on television. Ever. No arguing. Shut up!

October 17, 2005 by Bartoneus

As recent, empirical, all-encompassing, and many other large-worded descriptors data proves, Lost is by far the best television show ever. The data to which I refer, of course, is the fact that I-tunes top 100 downloaded video list is dominated by the current season of Lost. As we all know quite well, I-tunes is basically […]
