Mega Headlines: Mario is Turning into a Clueless Jerk

Mega Headlines: Mario is Turning into a Clueless Jerk

I don’t know why I take Nintendo so personally, but there’s a special kind of angst that grows every time I go home and see my Wii U after Nintendo makes any announcements. Distracting myself with two of the SNES’s best games will only get you so far after you step on your fans, and continue to repackage your old games for the upteenth time as something we should be excited for. Anyway, 4A Games is much cooler than you [...]

Hey! Buy! Steampunk NES Controller Coffee Table

Hey! Buy! Steampunk NES Controller Coffee Table

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 [...]

Horrible Times #416: The New Past

Horrible Times #416: The New Past

It has been a timewarp around games recently, I thought we were on the cusp of a new generation. I guess leave it to a Nintendo news week to take you back to the classics, but I don’t know if that magic is working anymore Big N. I will say I’m feeling better about the future of my 3Ds, but even less so for my Wii U since the only thing I want to play on it is Earthbound (by [...]

Horrible Times #415: The Deal With It

Horrible Times #415: The Deal With It

We’ll never really know what happened behind the scenes of Adam Orth’s resignation at Microsoft. Sure his #dealwithit comment was a bit misguided, but it was also mostly true. Whether or not the next Xbox is always online or online only, our devices are more connected every day. Fighting it is a bit futile. Beyond that though, I’m always humbled by watching social media change the very career/life of isolated people for better and for worse. I have to agree [...]

Video Game Memory Leak: Donkey Kong

Video Game Memory Leak: Donkey Kong

Everyone knows Donkey Kong. I thought I knew Donkey Kong before King of Kong reignited everyone’s appreciation for the classic arcade game. Apparently, I never got very far in the game because the big monkey had a few surprises for me when we got reacquainted recently for a week long company arcade tournament. The hammer is not invincibility One of the original adrenaline rushes I remember from going to the arcade was the first time I picked up a hammer [...]

The SteamCube, Nintendo and Valve Just Made It Interesting

The SteamCube, Nintendo and Valve Just Made It Interesting

One of my favorite rumors of the last year has been the possibility of Valve stepping into the hardware battle with its potential “Steam Box.” However, things got a bit hazier when Valve began backing another Steam box in Xi3′s Piston and then subsequently distancing itself from it while saying that their would be multiple levels of Steam Boxes available. However, today’s announcement made the choices for gamer’s like myself a bit easier. Valve is partnering with Nintendo to launch the [...]

Horrible Times #411: The Grind is Chewy

Horrible Times #411: The Grind is Chewy

Video game public relations has to either be a thankless job or they just have the wrong people in place. When we aren’t cleaning up from the previous debacle, we have new name-calling, copyright arguments, and all around cannibalistic behavior. Which is why when I see any company tell it like it is and offer a plan or honest hope for its game, it is almost refreshing. Sadly, that refreshment tends to be crushed by the new/old trend of video [...]

Hey! Watch! The Ending of Super Mario Bros. 3 in First Person  

Hey! Watch! The Ending of Super Mario Bros. 3 in First Person

Mario games have always been a lighthearted affair, but maybe that was all just a matter of perspective. Brandon Laatsch and his special effects team have put together an intense recreation of what Mario was actually seeing during the final stages of Super Mario Bros. 3 including the final encounter with Bowser. We all know Mario has some serious platforming skills, but bouncing off of flying cannonballs has an entirely different feel when seen from a first person perspective. Although [...]

Horrible Times #407: The Sunday Destination

Horrible Times #407: The Sunday Destination

After the most drawn out gamer tease I’ve experienced in a while, I’m officially ready for Sony and Microsoft to announce their next-gen plans. Publishers and developers have to be even more frustrated as illustrated by Bungie’s attempted reveal of their new game, Destiny. I’m officially more confused about what to expect from their new online FPS than I was when all I had to go off of was a leaked photo. I don’t blame Bungie though, if the game really [...]
