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 [...]
We’ve arrived at the finale of Injustice, and naturally the thing that Justin gets the most excited about in this superhero fighting game is to use Wonder Woman’s sword and shield. However, in a surprisingly understated twist, Justin and Josh notice something very troubling about Superman’s quick time events. Justin and Josh settle in for the finale of the story mode of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Part 6 features Chapters 11 and 12. Missed an episode? Check out the full playlist. This video [...]
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’ve said it once and I’ll say it again; it’s a great year for horror. You can add another entry to that list of announced titles as Among the Sleep, a survival horror game from the perspective of a young child has surpassed it’s goal of $200,000.00. This means that Krillbite Studios, the developers behind the title can stop messing around and start focusing on reminding us why childhood was so darn frightening. I’m excited about this game because the [...]
If you’ve been following along with our livestreams, you may have noticed that we’ve been experimenting with a few other podcast ideas. You will see the debut episode of our new show, Top Video Game Podcast of the Week, next week as we welcome Cole Monroe back into our regular live show schedule. TVGP will be a weekly interactive live show on Monday nights at 9:45pm EDT where the cast along with the chat audience discuss their favorite and least [...]
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 [...]
Whenever you jump into a beta or even a launch week for a game, you gain a certain sense of equality with the other gamers that are playing along with you. For that short window, the playing field is leveled and you are all learning about the game at the same time. And then it happens, you take a break, and you fall behind. It can be discouraging if you are trying to catch up to jerks, and usually it [...]
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 [...]
