My Takeaways from Microsoft’s E3 2013 Event
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Console News, Gaming News, Xbox 360 On: 10 Jun
Over the last few weeks, Microsoft has received an enormous amount of hate (Seriously, just do a Google search) regarding their Xbox One revel a few weeks ago. Some have already gone so far as to say they are going to boycott the console all together. To me this is a bit presumptuous as until [...]

Humpday Bump: Sony Exec Twitter Trolling Edition
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Console News, Gaming News, PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 On: 29 May
Most of us have seen fake Twitter accounts of real celebrities or important people that poke fun at them or their profession. The petermolydeux account for example is a parody of the real British game designer Peter Molyneux, and is full of all sorts of Molyneux-like game ideas that couldn’t possibly ever work like “I [...]

Reus – First Impressions
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Gaming News, PC On: 23 May
Always on the lookout for a title that’s both good and cheap, I took a gamble and downloaded Reus last night with little to no expectations. I’m not usually one for spontaneous purchases, but I’m glad at least that this time it paid off. I spent the better part of the next three hours last [...]

Blizzard’s Candid “Interviews” about Diablo III Look More Like Promotional Material to Me.
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Gaming News, PC On: 17 May
You’re probably wondering why there’s a picture at the top of the page of Zachary Quinto’s appearance on Conan O’Brien this week. Well, just bear with me. Many famous actors and directors often do a series of late night shows to promote a movie or some other piece of work. While these appearances often look [...]

Humpday Bump: Valve Unveils Digital Trading Card System Edition
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Console News, Gaming News, PC, Tech On: 15 May
Valve has announced a new digital trading card system to compliment their all powerful digital distribution platform Steam. The system sounds a bit those old paper tickets players could turn in for prizes at their local arcade, only instead of winning large stuffed animals, players can turn in their cards for additional customization to their [...]

End of the Week Wrap-Up: WoW Subscriptions Down to 8 Million Edition
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Console News, Gaming News, PC On: 10 May
I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, in fact it probably sounds a bit silly to say that a game has “only” 8 million subscribers, but for World of Warcraft and its creator Blizzard, it’s really bad news. It was only a year ago that a dip in about 1 million subs produced hundreds [...]

YouTube Tuesday: The Most Perfect Starcraft II Cheese of All Time Edition
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Gaming News On: 07 May
This week features an eclectic mix of three videos that aren’t really news worthy, making them perfect for YouTube Tuesday. This week’s keyword is impressive as each of these videos are impressive in some way, though not always for the better. There’s some impressive Starcraft 2 cheese and two examples of some really great and [...]

Humpday Bump: The Sad Tale of 38 Studios Edition
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Console News, Gaming News, PC On: 24 Apr
Normally when mainstream media covers anything even remotely involving games, the coverage is laughably bad. The Wall Street Journal’s review of Borderlands 2 was so bad, and by bad I mean either out of touch or just plain inaccurate, that instead of just laughing at it or perhaps even face palming, those who read it [...]

These Oculus Rift Videos Do Nothing for Me
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Gaming News, Tech On: 22 Apr
I know I’m supposed to be excited about the Oculus Rift. The technology seems pretty spectacular and reminds me of the excitement I felt seeing the Virtual Boy for this first time as a kid. The idea of a “virtual reality” headset has been around for decades and each iteration has captured the imaginations of [...]

Posted By: Dave Bast In: Console News, Gaming News, PC On: 19 Apr

Over at Titan Focus, the site that is following Blizzard’s secretive next-gen MMO, they’ve got their hands on a list of potential features for the unannounced [...]

2K Marin’s X-Com Shooter Mysteriously Vanishes, Future Unknown
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Console News, PC On: 15 Apr
This past fall I mentioned that 2K Marin’s 1950s esque X-Com shooter might have been undergoing a change from a first person shooter to a squad based third person shooter. Most of this theory came from a leaked marketing survey that showed off some new squad-based gameplay while asking questions regarding lower prices and the [...]
