For awhile, I loved playing games like Sim City. There was soemthing about watching a little city grow and getcute little extra stuff for getting somewhere. Now, we are talking about the Sim City for the SNES. So, when the Sims came out, I was intrigued. It took me quite a long time to get to it on my list of videogames. Actually, more like through the pile o
The current trend in almost any type of big business is to let go the employees and hire them back as contracting personal. Here in B.C., a bigger threat looms in our midst. The Liberal government wants to balance the budget, and they plan on doing it on the backs of the workers that are employed by them. Last year, thousands of jobs, many of them specialize
I was wandering around the Gamefaqs.com archives and fell upon what has to be one of the bains of my existence: 7th saga for the Snes. This game was so incredibly hard that people to this day apparently curse it. Since I am at work, I decided to take a trip to the world of SNES emulators and download a ROM. First off, it is amazing how much systems h
So, I jsut got back from a lovely vacation. I was out of town for a week and attended a wedding of a couple that I have been friends with for about a year or so. The location of this city...well, town, was in the middle of B.C., about a hours' flight from Vancouver. My anticipation to getting the hell out of my current city for a break had been reaching a cli
I was reading Megatokyo, got sick of dead piro art days.
It occured to me that every game that is put out is a sensational hit. I realize that people are paid to tote the party line for developers of console and computer games, but really..how do these people sleep at night? The abjectives that are used to discribe the crap that gets put out amazes me sometimes. I scrap better things off the soles of my shoes. <BR
Thank you Trudy, I feel the exact same way about these priceless items that take me back. I still need to cut back, having spent almost $200 in one week!
I caught onto Fox's The Family Guy after it had already been booted from the Fox television lineup. Fox made a big hit when it brought a little-known animated series to the forfront when it introduced The Simpsons. Before then, it was sitting on the Tracy Ullman show and suffering. In line came King of the Hill, Futurama, The Critic, and Family Guy. I am sure there we
First, the disclaimer: I have never been a huge fan of the Predator series. The first was decent, but the second on was lame. Danny Glover should stick to comedy and Lethal Weapon. As for the Alien series, loved it. That is why this review might be hard to write. Upon going into the theater with my friends and the local EBgames posse, I had some tri
Generally, I think I am a good shopper. I tend to do my part as a consumer without wasting my budget. I am a single male in his early 20's, so I pretty much have little to no true fiscal responcibility. But, there is a darker beast that lurks in my house that I can't seem to kick now that I started doing it. Bidding on Ebay. It started simply, of cou
The point being is that the companies that tote the piracy line are looking for reasons for people to feel guilty about not paying their game. Game companies blame piracy because they continue to put out mediocre crap, software companies blame piracy because they are overbloated and overpriced programs, and so on. The true effects of piracy is hard to fine, and therefore the perfect scapegoat.
Well, I am back from my two week vacation, rested and raring to go. A little while ago, a friend of mine asked me if I ever took a look at a web comic called Boy Meets Boy. Generally, I like the more 'potty' orientated humor, and the idea of sitting around on my computer reading webcomics was akin to reading novels in PDF format: wasn't going to happen. <
After a few months of purchasing my GC, there came a deal that offered a limited bonus disc with a collection of LoZ games. The powers to be at Nintendo offered a limited edition collection disc of The Legend of Zelda. In included the two classic games for the NES, and the two offered for the Nintendo 64. I was a little bitter at the fact that it came free w
The story is for sure so so...I mean, it never really changes. The X Series, for sure, is a step in a better direction. I loved each X title, and I'm sure they will get a compilation disc of it's own.
I really hope that it turns out ot be a cure, or at least a leap towards one. I had a partner that was HIV positive, and unfortunately he passed away some time ago. We had broken up by that point, but we remained friends. To see him slide down the way he did ewas horrifying. I would never want that to happen to anyone esle, but of course it does. To answer a previous question, why people would keep a cure quiet? Simply, doctors can't treat hea

" Empire had a better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vaders his father, Han gets frozen, taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that is what life is, a series of down notes. All Jedi had was a bunch of muppets." Ahh, Kevin Smith. Aside from unintentionally starting a war about which is the better movie, I decided

They tried that back in the day with Ultima IX. The problem was that if you cut the market, you have to realize that there is still brand loyalty. People that were all for the 3DFX cards that insisted on holding to them, finally created a patch to run U IX on non-voodoo cards. The patch was buggy, but those people were no longer screwed. Nvidia, which eventually bought out 3DFX, lost some dollars on that one. Now a days, it's not simply Open G
welcome to the gang!
I actually take no offense to anything said here..for me, it's a detached world from the real one. This article wasn't for me to be like " Oh, I'm all frightened", it was just a " My point of View" article. There is a saying amoung me and my friends: " There is No Such Thing As T.M.I", and that is the view I have of life. I already have been told things that would bother me, but I truely believe that people have a right to say what they wish. It's a op
unfortunately, it probably will..that is the kind of society we live in. We only know how to live and stereotype...sad, isn't it Steve?
