There are several sites out there that specialize in overcharging for geek themed t-shirts and accessories (Think Geek, J!NX and Syswear.com to name a few). But today I stumbled across Nerdy Shirts and found my new favorite design (shown at right).
Back when I was at the top of my game, I could [...]

For those of you who don’t know, Ken Kutaragi is currently the insane head of the Sony Computer Entertainment gaming division. Mr. Kutaragi is often referred to as “The Father of the PlayStation”. But lately Ken has also been referred to as “The Father of Nutty Marketing Statements and Vicious Microsoft Slander”. [...]
I found this nifty page today and thought it would be fun to keep track of console sales through the holidays. Who are you rooting for?
(The charts are in order of current maket share just in case any fanboys out there think I’m being biased)
Initial Wii Impressions
Published by November 27th, 2006 in Console Reviews, Games and Nintendo. 2 CommentsUnfortunately, I’m too broke to buy a Wii this Christmas. Try as I might to convince my wife, she seems to think buying clothes for the kids is more important than buying a Wii. Go figure…
My brother, however, is single and therefore not too broke to buy one. And this week, I [...]
It may be rather stereotypical, but I do enjoy a good anime. Granted, there is a lot of garbage anime out there, but there’s also a lot of really good anime (pretty much anything by Hayao Miyazaki). And although most of what I prefer to watch doesn’t contain any idol-esque bimbo chicks that [...]
Well, the new PSP firmware is out. Actually, the current build is 3.01, but let’s not get crazy yet. It looks like most of the work on this is devoted to helping your PSP get carnal with your newly stolen/overpaid/broken PS3, but if you’re not doing the whole homebrew thing, it’s a pretty compelling upgrade.

You probably heard about the dude who won 3 PS1 consoles for $900 on eBay. Well, with a little fuzzy math, here’s another awesome eBay deal posted up on engadget.
What a fun time console launch season is! Props to all the creative folks out there, especially those unafraid to mod with duct tape.
Every now and then as you wander aimlessly across the void of the interweb, you stumble on true internet goodness. There are lots of things out there that are supposed to be funny, but some of the posts on the Game Anagrams thread over on the Something Awful forums (both links are potentially nsfw) [...]
How does the old addage go?
If it seems too good to be true…
Unfortunately for some folks, it takes a few classes down at the school of hard knocks before they really get a firm grasp on how things work in the “real world”. Take, for example, the poor eBayer who apparently thought he was [...]
Final Fantasy: Advent Children Is Amazing!
Published by November 20th, 2006 in Game Movies and Movie Reviews. 0 CommentsHonestly, I’ve never played a Final Fantasy game. Ever. I admit that I’ve been mildly intrigued from time to time regarding the hype that seems to follow this series, but I’m mainly a PC gamer. I’ve actually never owned a console on which to play these games (except for my NES, but [...]
