Taking Offense for Equality – The Horrible Show 111611
In our attempt to point out the not so offensive portions of video games, Justin, Cole, Ethan, Josh, and Justin end up making the most offensive episode of the show yet. Monster profiling, floating heroes, crushed horses and others get their due. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow This episode is a continuation [...]
Meanwhile… Sleepy Heroes
Meanwhile… we’ve actually been playing games. Each week we recap our recent gaming experiences and tell you what we’re looking forward to, so you can use your time more wisely than we have. After winning at charity game marathons, thanks to all of you, we return to our game queues. They haven’t gotten any smaller; it’s [...]
Hey! Watch! HD Konami Intros for Castlevania and Gradius
One piece of retro games that hasn’t gotten much of a revival is a focus on their intro animations. We’ve seen plenty of soundtracks and games themselves redone, but these remakes of Konami intros caught me off guard. Plus they get bonus points for taking me back to Castlevania (above) again. Rickonami has also taken on [...]
REPLY TO ALL: Gaming Health Diagnosis
You thought we took a week off? Little did you know we were diving deep into our own psychoses and come up with excuses to why we do what we do in video games. The question this week asks us: what gaming habits would require mental health consultation if you had them in real life? [...]
Difficulty Settings Part 1: Classic
There used to be a time where there were no options for difficulty. You would just press start and go. Nowadays, you are prompted to select your preferred level of challenge. These settings have cute names ranging from Normal to Heroic, Hardcore and Insane. There used to be a time that just beating a game [...]
BloodRayne: Betrayal Trailer Soaks the 2nd Dimension
In an era where vampires have taken over every form of media, there is one mistreated vampire out there who hasn’t gotten her piece of the bloody popular pie. The BloodRayne franchise was born of 2 great-in-concept-but-average-in-execution games and became another victim of Uwe Boll as an unwatchable movie (and direct-to-DVD sequel). It had been [...]
REPLY TO ALL: The Next Video Game TV Series
The Red Faction franchise is gearing up for its next game release and the TV series. Surprisingly, the trailer for the show doesn’t look terrible. What other game franchise would you like to see get a TV series? No cartoons, and no Mass Effect (because, well, we already know that would be sweet). Ben (EndlessBen) Oh [...]
A Quarter Century of Awesomeness
This year marks a pretty crazy milestone for me. This week is my 25th birthday. A quarter of a century of awesomeness. A quarter of a century is hard for a youngster like me to fathom but then I remember something. I remember I’m not alone in looking at this milestone, and I remember how [...]

The Lessons of Castlevania Don’t turn around, they’ll come back There’s meat in the walls Hearts may not do what you expect them to Lots of [...]
The Horrible Show 08-25-10: Franchise Players
Riding our ego wave from last week, Justin, Cole, Ethan, and Christina set their sights on helping to improve a few game franchises. Fans of Resident Evil, Fallout, Crackdown, BioShock, Final Fantasy, Mario, Prince of Persia, and Battlefield beware. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow We’ve got ideas. They may or may not be [...]
Shadow Complex Review: The Downloadable Console Seller
When Shadow Complex was announced way back in 2009, I was bummed that it wasn’t coming to the Playstation Network. I only owned a PS3 at the time and knew I was going to miss out on what looked to be a promising game. It became available for download on August 19, 2009 during Xbox [...]
