  • Xbox, Did You See That?

    How you know Microsoft nailed with the Xbox One controller: use it exclusively for two weeks then go back to the Xbox 360. You'll think the 360 controller is a piece of junk.

  • Goodbye, Stanley

    I've had my fun with The Stanley Parable. Despite the loading screen insisting that The End Is Never The End, I've found my ending and am happy with it.

  • Wag the Tail

    I want to meet the person at Ubisoft who thinks the “tailing” missions in Assassin’s Creed are a good idea.

  • Gold Coin For Your Thoughts?

    Super Mario games should have a store.

  • Final Fantasy VIII

    During a computer summer camp in Minnesota I got my first taste of bilinear filtering when we managed to get the PC version of FF7 running through a Voodoo 3D accelerator card.

  • The Happy Room and the Stairs

    Discussing The Stanley Parable is all code words. At first this was born from a desire to avoid spoilers, but after a while it's the only way to describe the game and the crazy places you end up.

  • Stanley entered the door on the left

    You are a man in an office. All your co-workers are gone. Find out why.

  • Base Secured. Standby For New Orders.

    My preferred game mode in Battlefield 4 is Rush, where I can lose faster.

  • Single Payer Video Game

    Why does Battlefield 4 have a single player campaign?

  • Storm In A Teacup

    With the Battlefield 4 campaign finished, I can dampen my criticism somewhat.

  • A Trapped Wolf Will Cut Off Its Own Leg

    I don't think I could design a worse campaign for Battlefield 4 if I tried.

  • Assassin's Appendix

    Dig deep into Assassin's Creed IV and you'll get to the muck of the previous titles.

  • The Wheels On The Bus

    What keeps you playing a racing game?

  • Riding Dirty

    For the longest time I thought that expression was referring to something other than drug possession.

  • Everything is Permitted

    After two straight days of Assassin's Creed IV I'm starting to lose my grip on reality a little.

  • What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor?

    Day two was about Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. It only took five years and six games, but Ubisoft's pirate adventure is the best entry in the series and my selection for Game of the Year.

  • Day One

    The power supply is all rectangles. Kinect is a rectangle. The USB cable ends in a rectangle. If Microsoft were selling the Xbox One on Cybertron I suspect the controllers would be rectangular.

  • Obsolete

    Last night I arranged my current generation games in their final resting case. I almost filled up a 128 disc game binder with Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, and PS3 games. Oh, and Wii games too I suppose.

  • Xbox One hunting

    Online shopping is fun. Online shopping under a time limit is maddening.

  • Recabling fever

    Every six months or so the planets align and I'm compelled to disassemble my entertainment center and put it back together, better than it was before.
