The only hobby of mine while growing up that rivaled my passion for video games was my passion for sports. I played as many sports as possible and my love for competition was what kept my gamer friends and I close during the offseasons. Looking back, I’m not sure if I was more addicted to video games or real life games as much as I was just addicted to trying to win. However, as high school ended I realized that [...]
Hey poopfaces, I couldn’t help but notice your poopy faces looking pretty sad. Is that because you don’t have any games to play? Well if that’s the case, then I have some deals for you! If you’re sad about something else, like a break up or the possibility of credit default in Greece then I doubt these deals will help very much. Mr. Deal Hunter Total War: Shogun 2 (PC) - Direct2Drive for $14.95 Total War, more like Totally Awesome War, [...]
Oh, it’s you again. You’re still really into deals aren’t you? Despite the fact that you lack trustworthy eyes, I’ve decided to be reasonable and clue you in on another week’s worth of deals. It’s safe to say that these deals will save you money but they won’t save your level of social acceptance if you continue wearing that awful after shave. Mr. Deal Hunter Total War: Shogun 2- Amazon for $29.99 Back in the day, before they invented mechs, [...]
This week’s REPLY TO ALL tries to involve our significant others into our gaming lives. If the fate of the world required you to play co-op with your significant other, what game would you choose and why? Be on the lookout for a special uninvited guest who drops the drunken hammer. Rob (Robeque) My significant other is not a gamer by any means. I think I might go with Viva Pinata. That way we are just building a garden together… [...]
Whether it is being light outside later in the day or school memories, summertime still has that “vacation” feel, including realizing that we really ought to go outside and play more and spend a little less time on the couch playing Galaga Legions DX (for example.) This week’s REPLY TO ALL asks: How do you balance gaming and getting some exercise? Is it a conscious thing? Does it come naturally? Do you write it on your calendar or does your wife drag you outdoors by your [...]
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. Summer has taken a tight hold on our gaming habits. Some of us are struggling to find time for games while others are searching through the backlog to find that one great game they forgot.

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. Distractions are one thing, but free distractions are another. Ethan may not survive the free-to-play games of Steam.

Hey guys, Halo: Reach is still a thing. Nine months after its release, there are still many people playing the multiplayer maps and enjoying themselves. However, some of the more creative types have taken up residence in Forge 2.0 and have come up with crazy ideas. If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Man, the only thing missing from Halo: Reach is a game of pinball,” your day has arrived. It isn’t exactly a perfect version of pinball. The flippers don’t [...]
It’s the end of an era, Duke Nukem Forever is a complete game which is probably worth celebrating more than whatever the game ends up playing like next month. There was also a couple of interesting resurrections in a Halo: Reach demo and Hellgate: London closed beta. Things are getting silly before E3. Here on HN, we wrapped up our Art of Video Games exhibition coverage with a stellar interview, and begged for our own version of the end of [...]
We recently uncovered an issue about online gaming that stung us as gamers. Justin, Cole, Gifford, and Christina revisit FatUglyOrSlutty.com and try to get to source of the offensive behavior girl gamers endure just to play their favorite games. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow It felt odd a few episodes ago to have 4 guys commenting about the abuse girls receive while gaming online, so we thought we’d bring in Christina to further evaluate the situation. Of course, [...]
