I don’t know why I take Nintendo so personally, but there’s a special kind of angst that grows every time I go home and see my Wii U after Nintendo makes any announcements. Distracting myself with two of the SNES’s best games will only get you so far after you step on your fans, and continue to repackage your old games for the upteenth time as something we should be excited for. Anyway, 4A Games is much cooler than you [...]
I turns out that we play a lot of video games. In 2013 we started livestreaming a lot more of our game sessions. Thanks to everyone who has subscribed and either hung out with us in chat or even joined in on the games themselves. We hope you are having as much fun as we are because there is a lot more coming your way. Several times a week we post highlight (close enough) videos from these sessions on our [...]
I had almost forgot about the Nvidia Shield, but if that wireless PC streaming works out, I could be convinced. Speaking of streaming, any time the 360 adds an app, I can’t help but think, “Yeah, that could be cool on the next Xbox.” Shaq returning to video games is a dumb and glorious idea, but not as dumb as Silicon Knights/Precursor Games continue to act in crowdfunding their game. Some companies should not be allowed to talk to the [...]
You’ve been waiting all day for this moment, it’s game time, but instead of actually playing a game you are caught in the moment of truth when you cannot pick a game to play. You have the most dire of first world problems, but it is still an issues. Luckily, as with any major life decision, the internet now has a flow chart for that difficult moment. Mike Brunson has taking up the calling and created the effective “How to [...]
If GamingProfessionalism.com hadn’t been too long of a domain name, that was our original name for this website. Not really, I’m actually too lazy to even look that up to see if it’s taken so that I can fill out the joke. Our priorities lie in playing games, reacting to games, talking about games, and creatively tangenting from games into strange and slightly offensive ideas that eventually tie back into games. You’d be surprised at some of the things that [...]
I don’t want it to seem like I was cheering against Blizzard’s auction house, but anyone who had as many connectivity issues as I did with the game has to laugh at the situation now. I’m also fascinated by the fact that I cannot bring myself to help fund a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time, even if it is made by essentially the same people. Silicon Knights, I mean, Precursor Games, needs to raise money [...]
After failing at several heists, Ethan wonders if Blood Dragon was specifically made for him, Justin finds joy in stabbing people in the knees in Neverwinter, and Josh builds up his leadership skills in Marvel Heroes. Plus taco shipping advice. Super Gaming Best Friends: the podcast where Horrible Night writers and friends get caught up on their latest video game adventures and then get to know each other better by discussing off-topic interests. This episode was recorded live on the Horrible [...]
Short term memory seems to be a theme here. I forget all of my Gearbox issues anytime Borderlands 2 is discussed. I don’t know what it is, but more Borderlands just feels good. EA is going to try again with The Sims 4, and says it is single player and offline, but you know it is gonna have an ugly side. Finally, Volition makes me reconsider all of my political activism and hopes that someday I can vote for someone [...]
Being crafty in real life isn’t much of my thing. Hell, I struggle at crafty sidejobs within the games themselves. I don’t know how you start down the path of creating a Steampunk NES Controller Coffee Table, but I’m glad the team at Bohemian Workbench did just that. Even more fascinating is individual pieces used in the coffee table are from recycle materials. The wood used to be a part of a fence, the Start and Select buttons are made [...]
While I do want Gearbox to be taken down a peg after their handling of the bad reviews of Aliens: Colonial Marines, if the misrepresentation goes through, we’re going to be seeing a lot less/different E3 demos. Grand Theft Auto V wanted a lot of attention this week, I could care less personally. I’m most excited for a new 3 person “truck” in Planetside 2, which should help me ignore just how annoyed I am at Katie Couric jumping into [...]
