Kotaku’s Golden Gopher E3 Event
After we left the Sony epic fail we headed to a Kotaku open bar mixer at an off the beaten path L.A. bar called the Golden Gopher. While we waited in line I observed this weird industry hierarchy here that I’m really not feeling. It seems like the upper epsilon of the gaming community doesn’t wait in lines! They just roll up to parties with their leather jackets on and transition lenses and ...[Read More]
inFamous Early? Almost.
So I was at Target yet again and saw what you see above. I had to rub my eyes because it seemed too good to be true. Was the game out a day early? Not only that but out a day early on a holiday I had off from work? NO. It actually wasn’t. I got to the counter to buy it and the person working the register scanned it and said there was a lock in the system on it and it cannot be purchased unti...[Read More]
Eminem To Release iPhone Game: Relapse
So yes, his boy 50 did it with Blood in the Sand and now here you have it. Eminem will be releasing a video game called “Relapse” which will be available for iPhone / iPod touch from Shady Games on May 19th. I emphatically declared hiphop’s death (yes I moved on) over a year ago and now you see these “artists” moving into the video game space. Good morning. Here’...[Read More]
Slow Post Week… Stay Tuned!
So yeah, there has been a slowdown in posting this week as we prepare for our trip to E3. I know E3 is still about a month away but waiting until the last minute to get things in order and freaking out at the lastminute just doesn’t sound that appealing. Plus my birthday is at the end of this month so as much prep we can get out the way is welcome. Have no fear I have some really good stuff ...[Read More]
What? Obama in Your Super Mario Bros Live Skit?
This video has been removed from YouTube. Apparently Obama is a Pop hit in Japan. Super Mario Bros I guess still is too and rightfully so.
Eureka Moments In Gaming: What’s Yours?
So yeah, I had a eureka moment yesterday while playing Killzone 2 multiplayer. I finally resolved my biggest issue with the game. It had been staring me in the face (somewhat) the whole time. I have been complaining for weeks about how in Killzone 2 you could not tell how long the matches are before you enter the specific room. Apparently that info was staring me in the face the whole time and I n...[Read More]

Hustlin, Hustlin, Hustlin…
So yeah, we like to think of ourselves as the young up and coming spot. So when we see these bigger sites taking bits and pieces we cant help but point it out. I noticed that Joystiq straight jacked my Ready to Rumble Wii graphic I put up some weeks ago and that reminded me of the Capcom shenanegans. Thanks guys! We love you too. HA!
GI Joe Movie Trailer… You Know The Game Will be Crap
This video is no longer available. Although this new movie trailer is promising lets not get our hopes up for the inevitable game cash-in from this movie. The trailer is a winner with that Snake Eyes vs Storm Shadow action but when i think back to the Transformers game, Hulk game, and Iron man games based on the movies they all sucked.
New Joystiq Design Launched… Looks More Like Us?
Joystiq has just unveiled a new look. Is it just me or does it resemble the GameManx site layout? Ok, maybe not exactly but it definitely looks more like us now than it did before. I see what you did there Joystiq!
