got a nerdy mind?
One day several months ago I hopped onto GameStop's website to preorder something, probably Metroid Dread. When the homepage loaded, I saw a little banner for a game called It Takes Two. Out of curiosity I watched a trailer, and I immediately knew that my wife and I had to play it. As it turns... Continue Reading →
Maggie Robertson is now a multi-award-winning actress, and all for a single role. Unlike many of her co-stars, Maggie (Or "Lady Robertson" as she now jokes on livestreams) was not a seasoned veteran of motion capture or video game acting. As she mentioned in her acceptance speech at the Game Awards last night, Capcom took... Continue Reading →
If your have your ear to the door of the Nintendo fandom, or if you even live in the same building, you've probably heard some of the same issues for years. By far the largest is this: Nintendo never produces enough of any product for fans to actually have access to them. Such was the... Continue Reading →
I grew up in the era of the NES and games on cartridges. There was no online play, and whatever got put onto that cartridge was the game that you got, bugs and all. Still, if I have to live in a world where the game can be finished after it's released, I'm at least... Continue Reading →

I have put a ridiculous number of hours into Breath of the Wild. Even after I made it through the game's main story, I went back and did side quests, then just explored the gorgeous landscape.

I'm a huge Nintendo fan. Around the office, when E3 time draws near, my coworkers start checking in. What time is the Nintendo presentation? How am I going to watch it? And throughout and after the presentation, the questions continue. What did they announce? What am I the most excited about? Well, it's that time... Continue Reading →
Let me be the first to say that I will never want anyone other than Chris Evans as Captain America. I will never want anyone other than Robert Downey, Jr as Iron Man or Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Honestly, pretty much every actor in the MCU was the perfect choice for their character, and to... Continue Reading →
We are living in an era where, for some reason, it's cool to hate things. It comes from all sides. Sometimes it's obvious who's in the wrong. Take, for instance, the review-bombing that Captain Marvel received before its release. People who hadn't even seen the movie were trashing it because they wanted to be mad... Continue Reading →
Today marks the end of an era. Reggie Fils-Aimé is officially retiring from Nintendo today. Looking back on his introduction to Nintendo fans, it's honestly not surprising that he's become such a driving force. As you can see in the clip below, never before (and likely never again) had a Nintendo rep come out of... Continue Reading →
