A Gamer's Mind

So as we all know I’ve gotta post at least once every three months… why? Cause that’s when I outline some of the games coming out that people might actually be interested in.

The last time I decided I was going to randomly talk about gaming stuff, I was talking about the DSi, how I pwned my computer, the sheer amount of games that were being added to my collection, and a possible deep connection between an evil defense attorney whose name isn’t Jack Thompson, and an anime [...]

If you look at my Backloggery, you’ll probably notice a really really bad habit of mine.
There’s only a handful or so games that I actually do finish; Midway through one game, I find myself jumping to another newly acquired game.  It’s been something that’s been happening since the days of the GBA for me.  Games [...]

Running around with your head cut off for a week leaves me little time to write a blog post, so today I will be trying my best to do a double update.

At the same time, however, Nintendo and Inis put rhythm [...]

When it comes to Nintendo and handhelds, it has always baffled me how, as the handhelds get more and more advanced and the games become bigger, the cartridges have always become smaller.  I was shocked when the GBA came out and found that the cartridges were maybe not even half the size of that of [...]

Anyone who has played any sort of online game, or even been on a website with any sort of community integration, knows about the “username” or in the case of gaming the “in-game-name”, more aptly known as an IGN.  Over time, most people grow an attachment to said names.
