The Sunday Gaming Club: Doughnut!
Truly, doughnuts are the king of foods. No man shalt hate them, because there are multitudes of varieties. Delicious, delightful varieties. The doughnut is king. And queen. And jack, and ace. And the joker in the deck, if there is

The Friday Post: What is Happening!
Hey friends! It’s Friday! And you know what that means. No, it doesn’t mean that I’m trying to give you acute pharyngitis. It means we’ve got a fresh, slightly sticky batch of links, references, and even a random game announcement

Five Games You'll Definitely Hear About at E3
I was originally going to make a straight post of predictions for E3, but that’s boring. We already made a contest out of that. You can still enter, you know, and we’d much rather read your funny predictions than mine.

How to Fix the JRPG
Anyone who has played Final Fantasy XIII probably recognizes it as Square Enix’s attempt to fix what is largely a stale, dying genre. Sure, there have been bright spots, but for the most part the genre is going the way

Super Mario Bros. X is Super Mario Mario Crossover
I’ll admit, when I saw this post on Joystiq, I was skeptical. Mario “ripoffs” like this usually have slightly off controls, imitative gameplay, and just generally suck. Then I watched the video. Watch the video. Keep going. Anything else I

Sunday Gaming Club: Home Grown Post for Home Grown Cats
I am, apparently, a sick motherfucker. Like, I’ve been sick for two weeks with a collection of maladies, some viral, others retarded. For example, that mosquito who bit me where the head meets the neck? I hope he died. I’ve
