It’s time for another edition of “Good News, Bad News, Good News,” the only vaguely regular Blogtown feature that tries to distract you from upsetting information with happy shiny things in the hopes that you all have the attention span of a gnat. Good news: Batman: Arkham Asylum looks awesome, features the majority of the […]

Everything You Need For Derby Day (Except the Money)
I pointed to the huge grassy meadow enclosed by the track. “That whole thing,” I said, “will be jammed with people; fifty thousand or so, and most of them staggering drunk. It’s a fantastic scene — thousands of people fainting, crying, copulating, trampling each other and fighting with broken whiskey bottles. We’ll have to spend […]

Dark Void: Everything That’s Good And Right About Rocket Packs
Congratulate me Blogtownians, Ol’ Nexy is in love. Everything is roses and puppies at La Casa De Nex, and I wanna share my glee with all of you. To that end, here’s a ton of new footage from Capcom’s Dark Void, an upcoming Xbox 360 and PS3 release that I personally describe as “a cross […]

Marvel Vs Capcom 2 Coming to Xbox 360, PS3
Videogames and comic books; They go together like chronic masturbation and Pizza Rolls. Never has this coupling been better realized than in Capcom’s classic arcade fighter Marvel Vs Capcom 2 — a 9-year-old game now scheduled for an updated re-release on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this Summer. I won’t bore you with […]

No, I Don’t Care That It’s Off Topic
See that “Games” category notation up there? Let’s call that a theoretical. Normally this is where I’d be waxing metaphorical about how the current Electronic Arts lineup mirrors the works of Oscar Wilde, but today I’m taking a moment to pimp myself as hard as this blog will allow. If you’ve been stalking me you […]

Lego Rock Band Announced, Rock Band Teat Nearing Empty
Lego Rock Band is not just some bizarre fever dream you had. It’s for real, according to an official announcement made this morning. The game is being developed by TT Games (the folks who put together the awesome, if slightly redundant Lego Batman, Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones games) in association with Harmonix […]

Fallout: New Vegas Exists, Probably Has Mutants
This morning saw the announcement of Fallout: New Vegas. Though it’s not a sequel to Fallout 3, it is set in the same universe and is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment — a development house chock full of people who worked on the first two Fallout games. As the title implies, the game takes place […]

Introducing Shii, the Wii for Women!
Even if you don’t speak Belgian (or “Flemish,” as they would have you call it), you’re going to like this fake, sexist-but-funny commercial for Shii, the Wii for women. It comes from the Belgian comedy show M!LF, and apparently the Belgians are so smart and sophisticated, they are able to craft the Belgian punchlines for […]

This Is How Ganon Really Died
Arrow of Light? Naw. Master Sword to the face? Psh. Ganon was killed by “The Triforce,” a drink consisting of Goldschlager, dark rum and banana liqueur. Puking sparkles has never been more heroic.

Final Fantasy XIII: The Japanese Demo: The Video: The Five-Part Series
I’m convinced that everyone in Japan is made of plastic and LED lights. It’s unrelated to this post, but I thought I should mention it. The Blu-Ray version of fan-masturbation flick Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children hit Nipponese shores a few days back, carrying with it the first playable demo for the eternally “upcoming” Final […]

Patch Day!
I was a bit miffed this afternoon. Realizing it’s patch day and not having a post ready to celebrate the latest additions to Blizzard Entertainment’s virtual dopamine inhibitor World of Warcraft is like wandering into Ulduar decked out in a combination of first season Arena armor and Molten Core weaponry. Three of you giggled. Thank […]

Ground Kontrol Announces First Annual Pinbrawl Tournament
Do you hate Roger Daltrey as much as I do? Have you spent years patiently biding your time, consolidating your forces for a chance to disprove the central premise of Tommy — that autistic people have a vice-like grip on the world of competitive pinball, and any of us foolish enough to enter their world […]
