I’m like James Bond and Jason Stalham put together. Okay, maybe not. I’m a consumer whore and as such been tapped to write for you.

What would you like on your Tombstone?

(No, not the pizza) Short and sweet version: Fatal Labyrinth is a rougelike for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive that was available in Japan on Sega’s modem add-on service, and available in America/Europe as a cart. Fatal Labyrinth is a part of the “Sonic Ultimate Genesis/Mega Drive Collection” for the Playstation 3 and X-box 360. It [...]

Firmware 2.70 PS3

Or: How I learned to stop bitching about cross-game chat and loved the text-chat *OMFG IT ISN’T VOICE RAGERAGERAGERAGERAGERAGE* PS Blog has details. Firmware update notes on PS3 is: You can now perform text chat with people who are on your Friends list. You can chat with them while you are playing a game. To [...]

Sunday evening Quickie:

(And not that way, you perverts) Playstation Home is opening up a few more spaces tomorrow (I guess this is their “promised three a month”? Considering it’s three areas right now?) called the “Alpha Zone” that is a part of the “Xi” Alternate Reality Game. Two of the areas add in a couple of mini-games, [...]

GDC: Iwata and Nintendo… CONTINUE TO PRINT MONEY! :D

Okay, with Mr. TimeDoctor threatening to smother me in my sleep I’m being forced asked to write about the Iwata keynote. Nintendo, as a company, hasn’t been relevant to my interests (you shouldn’t post more!) for a long while (like nearly a decade?) But what the hell… there is money involved in this so let’s [...]

Let me show you them!

(Note: This post contains cursing: not suitable for children under the age of 3, women who are nursing or may become pregnant, and those with delicate sensibilities) Now that I have your attention with that eyebrow raising title: I’m talking about Pokemon Platinum. Serebii.net lists most of the changes from Diamond and Pearl that Platnium [...]

LittleBigPlanet DLC reminder:

Just for those of you in America: the LittleBigPlanet St. Patricks Day outfit is up until this Tuesday. You might want to grab it, it’s free! It’s seasonal! With the right modifications and clever stickering you can have a pimp outfit! Additionally, Killzone 2′s pack came out for $2.99 and the Killzone stickers are worth [...]

Tonight’s the Night!

(Wait, that’s for the wrong game…) Capcom‘s let the cat out of the bag about the Street 2 (or for those of you unhip: Super Street Fighter 2) Turbo HD Remix’s patch that should fix issues (and rumored trophy/achievement support for the PS3 version). The patch for the PS3 version should hit around 3AM EST/12AM [...]

Free Wipeout HD? On my PS3? It’s more likely than you think!

NeoGAF’s Twitter feed links to NeoGAF‘s thread… which links to This (LOL WHAT!?) site. The gist is: If you want a free copy of Wipeout HD make an Austrian PSN account and you’ll get the code mailed to you (so you can’t use Spam.la for throw-away accounts) Still, for a free $20 HARD AS HELL [...]

Your name is Toby!

(Or: If Resident Evil/Biohazard 5 is racist, is Roots?) I think I’ll let Hsu and Chan do all the speaking for me on this. Suffice it to say: If Resident Evil 5 is racist, do these same people that see it as racist find Roots (no offense to LeVar Burton) a racist tour-de-force or an [...]

SHOW THEM ONLINE

Or: How I learned to stop worrying about region-restrictions and get a “portable ID” from Sony that is nearly like the X-box Live Gamercards. 1 ) Go to EU Playstation.com 2 ) Choose your language. 3 ) If you already have a PSN ID, log-in to the PSN on the website with that account (don’t [...]

First Post!

Okay, so that’s a little cliché… … How about: “Welcome from the vast dark male and female nudity filled void that is the internet, that isn’t a big truck that you can just dump anything that isn’t porn on. But a series of tubes?” Too big for an introduction? Possibly. Did it make you smile? [...]
