Sega Dreamcast came out in the United States 10 years ago on September 9th, 1999. It had a great library of games, brought online gaming to consoles in a big way, and was considered by many to be the best gaming console ever. I disagree with the latter; the Super Nintendo holds that title. However, [...]

Despite it’s poor attendance, Mini-Megacon this past weekend was a success for myself and my group overall when it came to doing our events. We had pretty good turn-outs at our events and some great energy for the crowd. I would have to say the event I felt was the most successful was It’s MANIME! [...]

I’m not getting much of a break from AFO as I have to gear up for Mini-Megacon on August 22nd and August 23rd at the Orange County Convention Center in -hopefully- sunny Orlando, Florida! This will be in smaller scope than the spring Megacon show; however, my posse are poised to help out Anime Sushi and [...]

After setting up a fake Twitter about Gamelon Umfraville, I decided to make a real one for myself.

The King of Fighters XII has been announced by Ignition Entertainment for release in U.S. stores on July 28th! I can’t wait! I’m getting it for Xbox 360 and unfortunately it will lack the clan mode that the PS3 version will contain. I hate exclusives like that because that would have been cool to try [...]

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. There are some hilarious lyrics in all of their songs and they pretty much rap about almost every videogame I loved [...]
