Hey! Watch! Original NBA Jam Pitch to the NBA

If you were ever wondering how Midway successfully pitched the idea of NBA Jam to the NBA then you need to watch the video above. It is an interesting look at how the iconic game was created in the early 90′s as well as the technological advancements it actually made. While it looks extremely dated today, Midway employed some new and interesting ideas while using some previously used ones in games like Terminator 2 and Super High Impact Football. You [...]

When we first started talking about coming up with a charity arm of Horrible Night, I became excited. Until that point, it had never dawned on me that we could take this passion of ours and use it for a good cause. Video games have been painted in such a negative light by the media over the years that I questioned whether or not we could make a difference. As we discussed it further, I knew that video games could [...]

Healthy competition has helped grow the game industry into what it is today. This growth spawned fantastic debates like Mario vs Sonic.

I’m not one of these people who are so into politics that it clouds my judgment one way or the other.

This is one of those times, so bear with me. Insults will be hurled and I might even stoop to their level of not [...]

This past week has been a blur for me. Starting a new job and being exhausted from waking at 4 in the morning and not getting home until 7 at night, leaves me little time for anything but sleep. Needless to say, there was very little gaming going on in the Colefacekilla household. But what does that mean for someone who has the opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas on the internet through a website? It means feeling guilty [...]
