Although I hardly choose to believe it, we’ve finally broken winter’s back. Birdsong and soft air now usher in a well-earned age of spring. I can actually play outside again, but I think I’ll keep up my Dance Dance Revolution regimen.
In fact, I’m thinking of using two dance pads. Am I ready for this monumental […]

Let’s all say hi to Mike, the editor for the b5media video games channel. He is cool. He is made of candy. He will be my co-blogger for PSMonger, so you’ll see him making posts alongside me. That is the nature of a co-blogger.
As for me, I will still be here. I’ll also be opening […]

I’ve lost every PSN match in NBA 2K8 because of terrible lag, which is a shame because that’s where the game’s longevity lies. Aside from one-on-one matches with visiting friends, 2K8’s multiplayer was quite a disappointment for me.
Defending becomes tougher than studying quantum physics because of a two-second delay when pressing any buttons on the […]

My latest feature for 1UP was subject to a billion delays and almost got lost in the limbo of the editorial queue, but it’s finally live and looking grand.
Are You Gonna Finish That? explores the billions of reasons why gamers today don’t tend to finish what they start. It seems as if we all have […]

Kind of a quiet day for Sony news. Actually, game news in general is pretty dismal today. Between Super Smash Bros Brawl and the release of the omg zerg rush kekeke Starcraft II trailer, everyone else in the industry has opted to sit in a corner and clip their toenails.
Speaking of a head-on collision between […]

I think DragonQuest VIII’s most delightful attribute (aside from everything) is the brilliant localisation the game’s recieved. It takes a special job to make me associate Dragon Quest, a series that’s as Japanese as a series can get, with British characters and dialect.
Here’s where the moaning comes in. “Oh no! The purity of the original […]

Mike, who maintains FPS Rantings (and is the esteemed editor of b5’s video game channel) put out a meme asking some of us bloggers what our desktops are like. Looks like my husband just recently changed ours, so behold:
This can’t be Mega Man X artwork. Everyone looks too happy.
Mind that this is only the desktop […]

If there’s one variable I can blame for turning me into a hack writer, it would be the Dragon Warrior / DragonQuest series. Granted, if you come from a journalist family like mine, the writing gene is always inside you, albeit sometimes inactive…like herpes. But just as that STD flares up and says “Hi” every […]

I don’t know anything about this pic’s original context. Some husbands coyly leave flowers for their wife, whereas mine just saves weird stuff to the desktop.

Here’s a real blast from the anti-piracy past. This delightful gallery of comics features gold-hearted gamers reporting scoundrels who are copying A+ titles like “See It, Shoot It” instead of shelling out their cigarette and beer money for quality entertainment.
Hah, lookit them change the world for the better with their smug smiles, lifted chins and […]
