I’ve got to be honest, any reviews or opinions on media coming from me are almost always going to be a bit, shall we say, tardy? I could be talking about old, but hardly nostalgic GameCube games - being behind the times by years, or, as with this post, late only by a matter of weeks.

It’s so old that it predates Shigesato Itoi, the creator of the game EarthBound (which Tony is from) pretty much saying in an interview that, yeah, Tony subscribes to an alternative lifestyle.
What’s my point? Continue reading »

Hey there, New Guy #2 coming at you by the name of David, er, of the Graham variety. I’ll probably be quite a bit less “tech” than Jared, and a bit more video game/random oriented, if you’d like a rough approximation of what to expect from me. In fact, this post here, should give you a good indication of what to expect, so without further ado, let’s hit it!
I want to look at the perennial little brother today, the man in green, Luigi Mario. Oh yeah, but first-
SPOILER WARNING! I’ll be talking about several games featuring Luigi, old and new, so if your paranoid about learning something you’d rather not, this is your last warning. So there. Continue reading »
