Well, it’s a new year and you know what that means. It’s time, once again, to partake in the lovely tradition of drafting New Years Resolutions. Since last years resolutions were pretty much a miserable failure, I’m trying something a little bit different. This year I’m limiting myself to three very attainable resolutions. So without further a ado, here they are.

The only thing worse than walking into a public bathroom is walking into a public bathroom where the previous occupants failed to clean up after themselves. For a person like me, someone who’s an anal-retentive clean-freak, this causes a huge paradoxical situation. On the one hand there’s a mess that needs to be cleaned, but on the other hand that mess is disgusting and I wouldn’t want to risk germ transfer. Ordinarily my quest for germ-free self-preservation would win over my OCD, but there is a third factor that has to be weighed in.

Earlier tonight as the rest of the world sat down to watch ‘The Big Game’, I sat down with a group of my friends to play a little game called Munchkin.

Though seemingly daunting at first, the rules to the game are relatively simple. Flip over a card and if it’s a monster, you fight it. Click here to read more »
In our constantly evolving gaming industry, it seems like the only way to measure a games worth is by viewing against all the games that came before it. Whatever game innovates the most and revolutionizes it’s genre the most “in the now” becomes the golden standard for all games to follow. However, there has been one game that has really stood the test of time. A game who’s genius is so simple that… well, it’s just genius. That game is Tetris. Click here to read more »
Does anyone remember Warehouse music. I’m sure most of you don’t, but it was a horrible music store with even more horrible prices. They had a very horrible pricing structure where brand new CDs were priced according to the market, but all of a bands older CD’s would for some reason be jacked up to around $17.99 (or the price of a DVD). Well, long story short, hey went out of business. Well, it seems that GameStop is trying to follow in their footsteps.
