A year long challenge for finishing games

2010-05-03T00:44:00.003-04:00

A while ago a couple of my friends and I discussed how many games a person could finish in one year. We disagreed about the number so I have decided to count the games I finish this year. Here we go. January 2010 Ninja Gaiden 2 Batman NES February 2010 Red Faction Beyond Good & Evil March 2010 Muramasa April 2010 Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Mega Man 10 Stretch Panic May 2010 Gears of War (

Upcoming fall season

2009-08-21T02:25:00.003-04:00

With the holiday season comes blockbuster game titles. We gamers love the holiday season because at least one of these will pique our interest. I have about five titles that I'm looking at, and that makes me laugh because I never have any money to buy that many games. I just couldn't resist the extra stuff you get for reserving them. I should probably not spend money on that many games. Then I

Psychonauts-psychoanalysis

2009-01-24T22:53:00.002-05:00

It took me a year and a couple of days to finally finish Psychonauts. Some of the reasons that it took so long were because I don't own an xboxand I have too many video games. I then start to wonder why I have so many.

Good morning sunshine

2008-10-07T00:51:00.002-04:00

Not much has changed, or has it? Life continues to move for one and all. A good hand is dealt, so I have the strength to press on. I am reading about upcoming games in magazines. In addition, I am thinking about game ideas. I need to put them down on paper in order to execute them according to plans. Then I may see grad school.

Just an update

2008-05-27T13:39:00.002-04:00

I would like to get involved in the game industry. With an art degree I feel I could fit into a nice design job. That would be ideal. I will continue my quest to create the most amazing game to date!

Post Graduation Jitters

2008-01-29T03:08:00.001-05:00

Well, some post grad anxiety occurred. Who am I kidding, it nearly ruined my graduation day. I have no idea what I am doing after college. Rivet Gallery here I come. It is time to compose a new show and forge new art networks. Maybe something with floor meat ala Final Fight.Which brings me to the next question did River City Ransom come before Final Fight?

Graduation

2007-12-10T02:01:00.000-05:00

Well, I have graduated from Ohio State University. On to whatever tickles my fancy. Who knows how to get there. I'll post some pictures as they come in. Hopefully someone reads this things, or am I just talking to myself.

Interview with Jonathan Coulton

2007-12-03T18:34:00.000-05:00

This thing won't get out of my head. So, to relieve some of the emotion I must share. The song is from Portal a game produced by Valve. What makes it more special to me is that it was from a recently graduated student team. They created a similar game called Narbacular Drop for their senior project at DigiPen. So, check it out its free. It makes me believe I could possibly share a future of

Smashing Community

2007-11-01T16:09:00.000-04:00

Let me take a little time to talk about Super Smash Brothers Melee. It is one of my favorite multiplayer games. Right up there with Soul Calibur and that river crossing hop-a-thon in Kirby 64. I got to know this guy from my Japanese course. Guess what? He just so happened to play SSBM. (Acronym for the game) The best part is that he is better than me. Which makes the matches more

Why Video Games?

2007-06-16T00:19:00.000-04:00

I friend of mine saw them not as art, but WMDs. If they are seen as "Weapons of Mass Distraction" then how can I change that view. They have been compared to nuclear devices; are games such a menace to human existence? They can pull us away from reality. Well, cannot a good read do the same for the imagination? Do we even understand what a video game is? Perhaps we cannot fully appreciate

Video gaming as a community

2007-06-03T12:50:00.001-04:00

We know who we are, but need to get together and play. Gaming spans generations, places, and platforms. New experiences broaden our knowledge of what video games are. If you happen to read this post and think about how cool it would be to find a new person to play games with you should contact them.I was talking to a classmate last week about a game he could not remember how beat the Water

Interrelation of culture

2007-05-12T13:04:00.000-04:00

Do you view a foreign movie the same way as culture that produced it? I think that when I watch anything from another I see it with a foreign eye. The meaning may be lost to me. This is universal though, I stubbed my finger yesterday. Today it hurts, and that is universal. Language, geographic location, and history can shape how one reacts to the world. I feel spoiled, yet my economic

Simple Satire

2007-03-29T20:05:00.000-04:00

I happened to travel to the Major League of Gaming's website a little while ago and I found something humorous on their main page. I know that Halo is a big part of MLG, but it is not the only part. The MLG should be more than just a handful of games. It should include many different subtypes and genres.

Paris Hilton ≠ Gaming

I must thank these anonymous people for leaving such wonderful praise. I would like to know your names; 'anonymous' just seems vague. I am glad to accept any criticisms you might have, or issues you want to address. This blog is still for the people not for my own well being. Enough of that, on to the real issue.Paris Hilton plans to endorse a game for mobile phones, titled 'Jewel Jam' ...

Classic gaming.

2006-07-09T12:28:00.000-04:00

I would consider myself a classic gamer. This sort of genre is new, yet it refers to older games. It's just satisfying to go back and remember which games led up to the hottest new release. Old game serieses are getting new paint jobs and shoved back on to the market. N.A.R.C is an example, years ago it was a quarter muncher; now it is just your $20 budget title. I do not think a lot of love was

Hard earned dollars.

2006-06-04T17:02:00.000-04:00

Why do we spend our money on games? What are our favorite games and why do we use our money on them? It is like buying a piece of art, it suits our taste. Although this taste is not understood by everyone in the world. How many times have you heard that games take you away from reality? This is true, and every time I hear that, I think that books and other media do the same. Video games are

Why does everything have to relate to Christianity

2006-05-22T03:27:00.000-04:00

I saw "The Da Vinci Code" in theaters this weekend, and I would like to know why everything has to deal with religion. To get the United States to see your movie, include Christianity. So, let's look at a game that uses religion. Enter Bible Buffet, a game my mom got for me at a Christian bookstore. It was a video board game where you hurl utensils at food to get points. The only religion I

Used Games

2006-05-16T16:37:00.000-04:00

When we interactive media enthuthiasts have played a game too much we sell it. There are a few places that will buy your games, but for a significantly reduced price. Now once you sell them, they have already recorded in sales figures when you first purchased them. Used games cost less to buy, because their condition may be poor. But hey, if you wait to pick up a copy of that game you really

Mortal Kombat 2 vs Mortal Kombat 3

2006-05-14T20:10:00.000-04:00

I have had several conversations about which Mortal Kombat is better. Mortal Kombat 2 was a fighting game released in 1993 by Midway and Mortal Kombat 3 was a direct sequal to MK2 released 2 years later. The two noticable feature upgrades featured in MK3 were the 'Run' button and attack button combinations that guarenteed a number of successive hits if input in the right order. Today the most

The hot topics surrounding E3 are usually the 'Big 3'; Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. These companies compete for your hard earned dollars.

Nintendo's label as 'kiddie'

2006-05-11T17:24:00.000-04:00

Nintendo has been labeled as a 'kiddie' system by peers. I do not know who proliferated this label, but I hope they are proud of themselves. This stigma has slowed sales on the Nintendo Gamecube and kept older gamers from buying the system. I know that gamers my age feel that Nintendo franchises look like they have been designed for a younger audience. Maybe we do not want to accept the fact

2006-04-05T19:50:00.000-04:00

My recent experience with Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams was underwhelming. I expect an epic and I get tale. Maybe the production value went down. They reused the same character animations 3 times in a 15 second period of conversation. I don't think gameplay is advancing, maybe just graphics. It was a derivative of the once respected series. This series was supposed to end with the third

Blog Outline and Mission Statement

I vow to successfully inform you about my video gaming experience. I want my readers to feel informed and in-step with gaming. The medium is part of an 18-billion dollar industry and should be respected as such. Although, I do not think it deserves more credit than other media since it incorporates ideas just like any other media. We can use this to inform and educate ourselves about the wide
