The Great E3 2018 Directory – Part One

E3, The Electronic Entertainment Expo, has long been a premiere moment in the video game calendar. It, along with other conventions, like Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, are somewhat unique to the video game world. They’re about fan interaction, yes, and consumers can try games before they come out while potentially meeting some legendary game creators. But, more importantly some may say, they are about … Continue reading The Great E3 2018 Directory – Part One

Five Vita Games You Can Still Look Forward To

With the announcement that Sony will end production of physical Playstation Vita cartridges by the end of March 2019 in North America and Europe, we are now assuredly moving into the final stages of the handheld’s life.

Review – The Alliance Alive (3DS)

Light, Fluffy Fun As a Japanese RPG, The Alliance Alive is pretty accessible. The tone is upbeat and positive, but it never spills into saccharine territory. The story uses familiar tropes, but it also contains a unique world and a variety of characters. Finishing the game can take 40 hours, but it can also be beaten in as little as 25. Alliance is like the … Continue reading Review – The Alliance Alive (3DS)

23: Drive

It’s Future Classics week, and Nicole brought 2011’s “Drive” in for evaluation. The story is straightforward: Ryan Gosling’s “Driver” works as a mechanic and stuntman by day, and getaway driver by night; his life starts to get complicated when he falls for the pretty young mother in his apartment building. All of us agree on the visual merits of the movie, but do Brett and … Continue reading 23: Drive

My Dream F-Zero Sequel

Now that Mario Kart is one of Nintendo’s top selling franchises, some might wonder what the point of a new F-Zero game would be. Never mind that the series has a completely different setting and some deep, deep lore, it seems like they’re stuck. Take note that the last official F-Zero game didn’t make it out of Japan. Even Nintendo luminaries like Shigeru Miyamoto seem to have given up, publicly asking what else they … Continue reading My Dream F-Zero Sequel

22: Clown

Episode 22 was a “Netflix Roulette” pick, and the luck of the draw brought us “Clown,” a 2014 horror movie about clowns, demons, and why you shouldn’t bully that real estate agent’s kid. There are some typical horror movie tropes, like poor decision-making and doing exactly what you’ve been told not to do, and some surprisingly inventive bits like a whacked-out suicide machine and the … Continue reading 22: Clown

Ten Games That Changed Me Forever

Some games change us. They help inform what we like and dislike. They help us understand ourselves. More broadly, some games can inspire us. In some instances, they can even change our lives. Many people, if they looked back on the games that affected them the most, could point out several. Some will have a list longer than mine, because there are many games important … Continue reading Ten Games That Changed Me Forever

21: Power Rangers

New rotations always begin with “New to Two,” and for Episode 21, David had Brett and Nicole watch (Saban’s) “Power Rangers” (2017) for the first time! Spoiler warning: They didn’t hate it! Listen to us discuss the high points (the slapping, the character of Billy, most of the special effects) and the low points (the “bull milking” gag, clumsy callbacks, “Goldar”) and everything in between! … Continue reading 21: Power Rangers
