World of Warcraft Patch 4.3 Release; Internship With Blizzard and The Old Republic Beta Ends
I heard word this morning that Blizzard has released their latest content patch for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Last year I would have been able to confirm a new patch immediate, but I stopped playing World of Warcraft a few months ago. Upon searching I found this to be true, although the World of Warcraft website is down and the news server on my own client won't come up as I am on a public network at the moment. &nb ...
Skyrim 1.2 Patch, Tempting Games and Mass Effect.
Today, or technically yesterday, has been absolutely fantastic. I got to see my high school friends, I got in some game time and I managed to get my hands on Mass Effect 2 so that can catch up with the series. On that note, Minecraft and other games such as Mass Effect 2 are tempting me greatly despite the fact that I still have not had time to finish Skyrim's main quest line. Patch 1.2 for Skyrim is slated to re ...
Video Games Become Too Cinematic: I Blame Halo
So I just got out of the shower, in other words, I just got done meditating, and a thought occurred to me. I have seen more and more games nowadays become more and more cinematic -- that is, movie-like; limiting control and presenting narrative through in game cut-scenes. But that was not the interesting part. Many have noticed this transition, but I started to think about the WHY? Thinking about the evolution of ...

Free Saint’s Row 2 for PS3 Owners; Killable Children of Skyrim and Diablo III for Consoles
Hello everyone, I accidentally left my music and film book at home this morning so I'll have to do my reading tonight, so instead I'll be reporting this morning. So yesterday, in an attempt to better stay in the loop, I subscribed to just about every single video game feed I could find so that I could get plenty of information to post. I have therefore been greatly rewarded with a plethora of news to share my opinions ...
PSN Goes Down Again and DesertEagle PWN’s Top 10
So I don't have a PS3, but I figured since I'm going to be running this blog and wish to go into game journalism or writing I have to wean off my biases and try to be as supportive as I can for games as a whole and just supply the facts. Playstation Network went down this morning at around 6am EST this morning and many users feared another hack. Within 11 hours Playstation Network was up and running again and everyone was happily bac ...
First Game Binge in a While; Written Review Ahead and The Thanksgiving Holiday.
As those who read my little snippet yesterday know, I didn't sleep Friday night. I stayed up and played Skyrim for twelve straight ours, took a four hour nap, watched Minecon, made yesterday's post and then went to eat dinner with my dad. When I got home I played for another five hours and started writing a FAQ for the Thieves Guild. Throughout all this game time I've been recording on and off to get visuals for a Skyrim ...
Just Woke Up from a Four Hour Nap. Minecon Continues and People Play Skyrim MORE.
So I'm going to be straightforward. I just took a 4 hour nap because I didn't sleep last night. I got in some massive game time with Skyrim last night and started gather review footage. The funny thing is, apparently the Yogscast guys had the same idea, according to the Live Yogscast Panel that I woke up to a few minutes ago. For those who missed it, IGN's Minecon 2011 live stream can be found here.Anyway it's been a great weekend th ...
Friday. Skyrim Launch Video is in, Minecraft Launches and I think I’m actually going to get some time to play today,
So first thing's first; here's that video that's been a week in the making: I sorta thew it together last night directly off of a Flip Camcorder that is not actually mine and I really wish I had gotten more footage. I've learned a few things about how to work it, so the next time I cover an event the video should improve by leaps and bounds; plus I was editing this at like 1 a.m. this morning. Now onto th ...
