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 [...]

Someone has to figure out always online connectivity right? I know we are all doubting our internets thanks to EA’s and Maxis’ complete failure of a launch for SimCity that made Diablo III’s launch issues seem almost tame by comparison. I admit there lack of preparedness is baffling, but it was also hard for me to care. I just moved on to one of two other quality titles that were released in the same week. My only regret is that [...]

EA has officially announced SimCity will release on March 8, 2013 for PC and Mac. Though originally thought to be released in February, I’m quite happy with this news as I look forward to becoming overlord mayor of many “denisims of Atchville (trademark pending)”. EA hasn’t officially given a reason for releasing the game in March instead of February, but if I could make an educated guess I would likely say development. Since I’m not making an educated guess I am simply going [...]

There’s just something about this new version of SimCity that has just about as excited as I was the first time I discovered the joys of SimAnything-ing. And now Maxis gives us a trailer featuring the random moments we all love to hate the most, disasters: Now, that we will be able to build the best looking versions of our cities yet, it’s good to know that they can still be destroyed beyond recognition at any given moment. Of course, [...]

Gaming Lifestyle: Full-time Family Man, Part-time Vault Hunter

A challenge I’ve always struggled with since graduating college was juggling video games, career, and wife. In 2006, I added a child to the mix. As if my game time was hurting enough I added another child in 2009. On any given day I work 9 hours, eat dinner with my family, spend time with my two kids, perform duties as a freelancer, and if my eyes haven’t closed I find my way over the Xbox 360 for Borderlands 2. Since Borderlands 2 [...]
