More “Rock Band” DLC Problems…?
So this morning I tried to download another one of those songs that I’ve been dying for and drowning in anticipation for: “Under the Bridge” by a certain band with Chili Peppers that may or may not be Red Hot. Note that I’m not really the biggest RHCP fan in the world. In fact, I…

New Games This Week
This is a question mostly aimed at Andrew… but you all are free to reply, as well :P. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS) and Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3/360) are both out this week. Are you picking up either of them? What’s your interest level in them? I know you were aprehensive about the new…

Psyched for “King of Fighters XII”
The art style of Street Fighter IV is definitely something to write home about, but all of us above the age of 20 were still halfway sad to see the (numbered part of the) series finally abandon its 2D roots (yes, I understand Arika and the EX series exist, and as much as I enjoyed…

Games We’re Finally Playing: Final Fantasy VI
OK, so technically Jeff has already played it (and you heard all about it back on episode two). However, I had never actually played beyond the first five minutes (I thought a full hour, but no, not even…) of Final Fantasy VI, considered by many to be the pinnacle of the series. I’ve had Anthology…

360 Woes: Update #5 (Final…?)
So my 360 is finally back. Insert huzzah upon huzzah here. They tried delivering it on Tuesday to the future-in-laws’ place, but no-one was home, so right back on the truck for the next day it went. Thankfully, someone was going to be home all day the following day, and it was indeed scheduled for…

Low-Price Hilarity
I could have sworn I posted about this game and its price(s) previously on the blog. I even took pictures of it. Guess I never did anything with them. Regardless, as you can see in the below picture, that’s three red stickers placed over each other, indicating a clearance price-drop each time. Yes, that’s right.…

360 Woes: Update #4
Holy crap! I checked early this afternoon, and Microsoft’s customer service / repair site said they hadn’t even received my console yet. Log in tonight, and what do I see? Completely skipped step #3 (“Device received at service center”), and went right to step #4 (“Device shipped to customer”). This is either a wonderful or…

360 Woes: Update #3
Before I get into the meat of this post, please note that when episode three of the podcast first went up, it accidentally had a random 10 seconds of silence before we read e-mails. It was corrected and reuploaded within half-an-hour of its initial posting, so in case you’re looking for a fixed version… it’s…

Conversation 003: Peripherals & The Top Ten Peripheral-Based Games
Here we are with episode three of the podcast! It’s somewhat strange that episode two went up right before an anime convention, and here we are ready to take off to Anime Weekend Atlanta this week and the podcast is done… This time around we wanted to talk about peripherals and peripheral-based gaming. Whether it’s…

Cheap Shopping At Target
I love good deals. I can’t pass them up! It’s one of my biggest faults… err… weaknesses… no, wait… So the back corner of my local Target has a shelf where they throw all of their clearance electronics, which also includes video games. I’ve picked up a couple good things here and there (like some…
