So this week is Summer Break at Full Sail, and I am in the office at Matty-Matt’s desk. Matty-Matt is the course director for one of the classes here at Full Sail but he’s on vacation this week so I am borrowing his cubicle to try to get as much work done as possible. The [...]

I am so freaking sick of reading “No Mai, No Buy” when I read about The King of Fighters XII on Kotaku. Seriously? Really? Granted, she has a massive popularity amongst otaku and, who along with her Street Fighter counterpart Chun-Li, where the first legitimate sex symbols of videogames – beating Lara Croft to the [...]

God damn I love The Adventures of Duane and BrandO! This has to be their best song yet, beating out their rendition Mega Man 2. There’s also an 8-bit remix of their Punch-Out! song.

The revival of A Boy and His Blob is looking amazing! I can’t believe this game is not being covered as much as it is. Spend less time on Kratos and more on this, gaming press! The new A Boy and His Blob takes some really great ideas from the original and adds a some [...]

I don’t see it happen often; nonetheless, I do get a little excited when 2D gameplay gets mixed in a 3D world. I’m not really talking about when 3D models are only moving exclusively on two axes, like in Street Fighter IV, but rather when 2D flat sprites on a billboard or plane are moving [...]
