Being crafty in real life isn’t much of my thing. Hell, I struggle at crafty sidejobs within the games themselves. I don’t know how you start down the path of creating a Steampunk NES Controller Coffee Table, but I’m glad the team at Bohemian Workbench did just that. Even more fascinating is individual pieces used in the coffee table are from recycle materials. The wood used to be a part of a fence, the Start and Select buttons are made [...]
On draft day, a lot of prospects were compared to the great football players of yesteryear. When we talk about the greatest football games of all time, nothing compares to Tecmo Super Bowl, a game released just a little over 20 years ago. Simple is best Tecmo Super Bowl is the gold standard when it comes to simple football games. The pure simplicity of Tecmo Super Bowl is what made this game so popular. Modern football games contain pages and pages of plays to select [...]
I made a pact with myself recently. I was going to go back and play through all the main The Legend of Zelda games that I haven’t beaten. Since one of my friends was nice enough to buy me The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for my birthday last month, that pact started off well. Even though some might consider Wind Waker to be a glaring omission in the mythological finished game list, there is one greater oversight. I [...]
Friday the 13th is the kind of day in which you triple-lock your doors, avoid ladders, run away from any stray black cats, and be vigilant for crazed maniacs in hockey masks wielding machetes. That last one is probably the most prominent problem on this unholiest of days. Rather than fearing the inevitable at the hands of the Voorhees mongoloid, I’ve decided it’s time to appease him with a proper remake of the Friday the 13th video game. Let’s explore how [...]
There are a plethora of websites online that specialize in reviewing and rating vacation destinations.

I love animals. I love having them as pets and I love to eat some of them as well. One thing I don’t love is killing animals for sport. Well, I don’t actually know if I love it or not because I’ve never been hunting. But I do know that I will never give hunting a shot thanks to the lessons I learned from Duck Hunt. The Lessons of Duck Hunt Ducks are more fun than clay pigeons Hand guns [...]
For many of us, the current generation of consoles is just the latest in a long line of video game platforms that we’ve owned. In the near feature, our current systems will be replaced for the new kid on the block. 20 years from now we might look back with fond memories of all the great games we played (and wrote about). It’s been 20 years since I sold my first console to buy my next. I’ve had to give [...]

Back when I was a child and unable to afford every cool game that was released, I relied on friends to get the opportunity to play a variety of games. We used to go to each other’s house and play for hours on end. When it was time to leave the negotiations began: “I’ll trade you this for that.” Sometimes, the trades would even happen at school though weren’t allowed by some teachers. Now that I’m older and don’t have [...]
The interwebs have been exploding with previews, trailers and all around glee at the arrival of the NES love fest that is Abobo’s Big Adventure. Despite the NES being the system that helped launch my obsession with gaming, the gods of ethical journalism have warned me about simply following the hype and praising this game without any sort of objectivity. Then I booted up the game and I literally pooped my pants, Abobo’s Big Adventure is exactly what Cheap and Dirty Gamer is all [...]
