Mail This: Kids, Teach Your Parents Well

Mail This: Kids, Teach Your Parents Well

Dear Gamer Kids, First off, you know those name tags that say, “Hello, My Name Is:”?  Well, I’m not grown-up enough to write “An Authority Figure” on mine.  For my younger cousins and nieces & nephews, I’m the semi-adult who tells their parents to calm down over the misunderstanding with the hair spray and the cat and teaches them cool (read: kind of dangerous) stuff like how to properly make a potato cannon or do a backflip off of a [...]

I Learned Something Today: NBA Jam

The month of March is my favorite time of year. Not only is it my birthday month, it is also the month of madness. The NCAA tournament started yesterday and, with it, brought loads of excitement. Buzzer beaters, blowouts, and major upsets are a part of every tournament, yet if you aren’t properly prepared for such excitement you might have an emotional overload. You’d better prepare yourself like I did when I learned the lessons of NBA Jam. The Lessons [...]

Reverse Engineered: How EA and Tengen Got 1-UP on Sega and Nintendo

When we think of successful video game companies, our minds immediately think of Activision, EA, and we used to think of Atari. If we dig a little under the surface of actual games and look at their past, we see that they got their start in the early days of the industry. It’s hard to imagine that some of those same publishers had to use backhanded methods to get their games on the market. Back in the late eighties and [...]

Gaming Cynic: Multiplayer Games and Real Life Friendship

Making friends can be tough, especially when your day is occupied with work, marriage and horror themed scenario preparation. For me, it helps to be able to identify qualities in people through their interests and activities, thus eliminating that feeling out period that makes the friendship process drag on longer than is needed. The fact of the matter is, friends are an investment and the longer that investment takes to mature, the longer it takes for you to reap the [...]
