[Updated: 12 - 16 - 10] [Supplementary]

Why didn't I think of this earlier? People love posting their musical tastes on their own websites so I figured why don't I? Let the ego stroking commence.

Keep an eye on the date and video, it will be changed frequently.

Naughty Bear Review -- F**king Terrible

By the time you read this, Naughty Bear will have been released and several games that are more enjoyable should have followed. Created by a company called A2M [hold your sophomoric quips, its short for Artificial Mind and Movement] and published by 505 Studios -- Naughty Bear adds further fuel to the argument of how games are valued. A game with this few environments and [im]mature tone would have easily fared better as a downloadible title. Naughty Bear is trapped between being a childish murder-simulator and tepid action-adventure game. Though this romp won’t be on many game of the year lists [not in my imagination at least], it sure in the running for my personal “worst of...” by year’s end.

Is Capitalism Devolving Games?

In an age where the games industry is one of the biggest cash cows, it seems only fitting that consumers should question the quality of products sold. What happens when companies do just enough to appease the general gamer?
Before you dart down to the comment section of this article and begin feverishly typing prior to reading, it should be said that I’m an avid supporter of most [not all] forms of capitalism. However, as this term applies to the games industry, I think its a pretty rotten time for consumers. Though there are small glimmers of the games industry doing right by the developers and gamer, this era marks an odd turn. Bethesda, Lionhead and now Polyphony Digital studios were the first group of studios to spark my interest in this new development. Capitalism typically thrives off of the quality of a product. Traditionally, if the consumer has qualms with the product there is an outlet in which they can be heard. Unfortunately, we live in an age where we can only vote with our dollar.

Commercial Break: Really Hope The Aliens Can't See This

Years from now I'd like to think we'd evolve past scenes like these. However, that evolution could mean that the general consumer who attends a Black Friday gathering [which in itself sounds cult like] may bring heavy artillery or invent new ways of torturing their fellow man for that Kitchenaid blender.

Welcome To Thunderdome.

Video: Kinect's Joy Ride Fail

By now this video clip has circulated your favorite popular blogging sites and has garnered almost a half a million views as of me posting this entry. I want you to think about a couple things going on in this video. Kinect has been picked [in an odd sort of manner] for being this holiday season's high-tech Furby or Tickle Me Elmo toy. Much like political campaign strategies, advertising dollars control the masses. There were talks of having this Microsoft branded device in your living room being able to give you some form of a Minority Report experience. I'm guessing the video below will suffice as a lofty pipe dream being made into a kind of reality.

Commerical Break: It's F**king Christmas

How you guys doing out there? Fantastic, I hope. I've been going through a tiny writing slump as of late. I think it could be because of all the ideas I write down, but when it comes to actually writing them...I get immediately uninspired.

Or maybe its because its effing Christmas? In the midst of my slump and this season of giving [or taking depending on how you see it], expect more awesome/horrifying videos like the one seen above.

Commercial Break: Possibly The Best Trailer For The Best Video Game Ever!

Finally, a trailer that has surpassed the immutable Executive Vice President Cat trailer. I'm glad to live in a world that you can play a game in Japan that has a table throwing peripheral. Hokkaido feel my wrath! Think about it, you too can be living the dream of throwing a table at a cafe, fancy restaurant, farmer's market, executive office, a doctor's office, Steven Siegal's house, and many more. Live the dream baby...live the damn dream.
