I am what I have come to describe as an “informationaholic”. This does not mean that I read books while sipping coffee in public, but it does mean that I will spend hours on Wikipedia researching useless information to a very strenuous extent. My friends and coworkers have come to rely on me for all [...]
Check out this running thread going at NeoGAF in which people are attempting to re-create their favorite games’ boxarts in the style of the Criterion Collection of books that feature minimalist designs and bold, iconic imagery and text. You may never look at your game collection the same way again.

What you’re seeing here is the beginning of a new thing I’m going to start doing on a regular basis. I hesitate to call it a “column”, simply because columns tend to have a train of thought that is somewhat connected or at the very least travel along the same tracks. Up until now my [...]

I am seriously very excited for a chance to play some more OutRun. I stupidly traded my copy of OutRun 2 previous to it being BC on the 360, and I have had the itch to play it for some time but there’s not very many copies floating around out there. OutRun Online Arcade is [...]
So, love internet video, right? Who doesn’t? Youtube, Hulu, and Netflix, amongst others, have gained much ground in recent years and have caused companies to reconsider the way they distribute TV shows and movies. The catch? These are all stuck on your computer and on what is most likely a significantly smaller screen than you [...]
