Xbox 360 - The First 2 Weeks

I've had my new Xbox 360 for 2 weeks now. This is my first Xbox product, my first HD source (though I've had an HDTV for a while now), and my first 7th generation console. So what do I think? General Impressions: I like it! A lot. Okay, more on that... I really like the dashboard. I am an obssessive...

Halloween in Hollywood - Crazy Video Game Costumes (w/pics)

I went this year (as I always do) to the West Hollywood Halloween gathering, where a few hundred thousand people get together to show off their crazy costumes. I took a lot of photos of the best ones. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/dantebk/album/576460762335324551 is the link to my Yahoo! Photo album. ...

Great podcast guys! I just got back from a little vacation for my birthday so I didn't listen to it until today. Thanks Tom for mentioning me. It's nice to be noticed! I just turned 25 and I'm afraid most of the arcade games you guys discussed would not have been on my list. I spent a lot of time in...

Got a DS Lite for my b-day

My girlfriend bought me a black DS Lite + New Super Mario Bros for my birthday this weekend. Yes, she's awesome. Yes, the DS is awesome. But of course I have a dead pixel glowing green :roll: Luckily she bought the 2-year service plan at Best Buy so I think I can just have it replaced (not that it's...

Gameplay-wise Psychonauts is very much a 3D platformer, so if you like that genre at all, you'll like it, if you don't, the charm and humor probably won't change your mind. The main characters in the game are kids, but I wouldn't call it a kids game by any means. I don't believe kids would appreciat...

Review in Brief: Twitch Asylum

This week in my Reviews in Brief section of my blog, I did podcasts. Including Twitch Asylum: Twitch Asylum is a twice-monthly video game podcast that I never miss. ( and not just because they had me on as a guest ) The most unique thing about it is the Retro Respect section, where every episode the...

It's a PC Demo Rodeo! Yee-hah!

This is from my blog, http://dantebk.blogspot.com , but I thought it might be of interest to y'all as well: When I first got the new video card for my PC, I chose the Call of Duty 2 demo to test it out. I made the right choice. What a beautiful game. The graphics alone make the gameplay more fun, it...

Great ep as usual! Even though I've never played an Ultima game (not into traditional RPGs), I still enjoyed the Retro Respect section. I just like hearing about gaming history in general, I guess. Have you guys ever thought about doing a Retro Respect about the Mario franchise? I'm sure there's a l...

I'm going to hold out on getting the system 'til Super Smash Bros. Brawl is released. Maybe by then it'll have gone down a dollar or two, or I'll be able to find some deals with used systems or on eBay. I understand the big selling point that it's MUCH cheaper than a 360 or PS3, but it doesn't mean ...

Romero interviewed on Gamespot.com

FYI I thought this crowd might be interested after the Id-centric Retro Respect from a few podcasts ago. John Romero is interviewed by Gamespot.com on their Designer Threads podcast. It's pretty interesting, he doesn't sound like the egocentric a-hole everyone thought he was back in the Daikatana da...
