I Learned Something Today: BioShock
I’ve fallen victim to the grass is always greener mentality several times in my life.

However, when you get too far off the beaten [...]
Cheap and Dirty Gamer: The Several Journeys of Reemus or Medieval Extermination Adventures
Point and click adventure games have a special place in my heart being that my introduction to PC gaming was the result of getting King’s Quest IV for Christmas back in the days before girls were more interesting than Legos. Unfortunately, the genre tends to get overlooked by the fiery blooded youth of today’s gaming [...]
Gaming Crushes: Unrequited Love Letter
Dear Hero, I believe in love at first sight. Not only has it happened in my real life, it happened the first time I saw you. Though you were just a few pixels on a small TV screen, I knew that I had found a lifelong companion. Even though you were older than me, I [...]

Gaming Connoisseur: RPG Party Full of Badasses
After playing a ton of RPGs lately, I realized that my life up until this point has been somewhat unremarkable. Sure, I’ve got a good job, a great wife and all the modern-day convenances a man-boy could ever want but there’s something missing, something that my digital compadres get to experience on a regular basis. What I need in my life is [...]

For many of us, the current generation of consoles is just the latest in a long line of video game platforms that we’ve owned. In the near feature, our current systems will be replaced for the new kid on the block. 20 years from now we might look back with fond memories of all the [...]
Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Elona Shooter Offers Revenge on Crazed Farm Animals
During my imaginary childhood, I lived in a tiny house that was constantly under attack from a who’s who of farm animals that had wandered over from across the road. The sheep head butted my walls, the chickens threw eggs at my windows and a strange race of bipedal mice sprinted towards me while brandishing their [...]

Throughout January, Horrible Night will be featuring articles on Gaming [...]
Stop Making Movies Based Off of Video Games
Everybody who got the least bit excited about the Resident Evil 6 trailer more than likely got less excited after viewing the trailer for Resident Evil Retribution the next day. To say it looked campy would be an understatement; the movie looks horrible and the folks behind those films have apparently forgotten that at its [...]
