A few months ago I was going to do a write-up on the “music game” genre. More specifically, I was going to speak on the ridiculousness that has become the genre, and what I thought to be basic mediocrity. This was right around the time Guitar Hero 5 was announced as well as Guitar Hero: [...]

It’ll be October in two days. It’s kind of ridiculous. I’ve talked before about time flying, but this is getting a bit out of hand. Dead Space:Extraction is out as of today, and yes, I will be getting it soon; SuperTurtleSmashBros. (yes, I know it’s called TMNT:Smash Up, just sayin’…) is also out; we all [...]

So, if you’re wondering what I’ve been up to, and want an explanation for a lack of posting the past two days I have one. It’s a good one, some would say it’s a doozy in fact. But, you’re going to have to be okay with the cliffs notes version for now. Right now I [...]
