I Learned Something Today: The Secret of Monkey Island
Being the best is an admirable goal. No matter which arena you choose to compete in, it isn’t as easy as just putting in sweat and tears. That hard work will only get you so far and it gets pretty crowded up at the top. If you aren’t completely confident in your abilities you can [...]

Can a Video Game Change Your Life?
It seems to happen all the time. A musical artist releases a song that touches someone on an emotional level.

Cheap and Dirty Gamer: Shank You for Getting to the Point
Shank may not have had the most engaging storyline in gaming nor was it the most varied brawler, but sometimes narrative depth and endless variety gets in the way of what’s really important. Should you be caught up in a situation where someone needs their head beat in or removed entirely, I’m pretty sure you’d be more concerned with fueling up [...]

Dungeon Defenders with DLC Recoil Review: The Loot Keeps Coming
Back in October, I got sucked into the action/RPG/tower defense game Dungeon Defenders.

Hey! Look! SNES Arcade Cabinet
Constructing the perfect arcade machine is a pipe dream for a lot of gamers. Reddit user Echoobrain shared this goal, but wanted to make his cabinet a little bit different. Instead of refurbishing a classic machine or building a custom MAME cabinet, Echoobrain wanted the ability put cartridges directly into the dashboard rather than loading [...]
