I play a LOT of games on Kongregate, and I've always flirted with the idea of reviewing my Kong faves here on my dusty blog. Today, I couldn't help but do it. Well, it's not really a review, I just want you to try the game. Longanimals has been a dev posting games on Kong for quite sometime, and we mostly see classic Racing games from them/him/her. It's clear that Longanimals' vocabulary

Arcade games were my first true love of the videogame realm. I am immune to "repetitive" games because I come from this rinse-and-repeat place that has a level-map. Beat'em'ups are a genre whose revival looks very grim in light of today's game industry trends... oh who am I kidding GEORGE KAMITANI RULES!!!!

THEY'RE GONNA START CHARGING! How many times do we keep hearing that about free services. This satellite has been lost in orbit for quite sometime now. We've seen it with hotmail, with ICQ, and with every other free service. Once again, as usual, it's facebook's turn to do what email did, in its own way. This week, it's my circle of friends' turn to get their panties in a bunch about the

I love using the "Posts by Public" Search, especially after major events or uproars. However, today I opten for a sure-shot-always-active term. I really don't know why I didn't think of querying "repost" sooner. It's the most fun I've had since MetaCrawler's MetaSpy! You might have done it once, or maybe more. You've seen a status that you like or agree with, and you've "re-posted" it in hopes

Where to start. Yesterday, I finally went to see Tron: Legacy. Now, there's a lot of movies that I've wanted to see on opening night, or that I had promised myself to see in theaters. Why I delayed to go see this Tron sequel was part me being me, and part not wanting to face the inevitable truth. If you know me, then you know, I was betting high on this movie. There will be no eloquence in this

Speaking of Sundae's, here's a screenshot from Cindy's Sundae's, a casual "Match-3" type game where as a customization feature, you get to create, and, most importantly, NAME your custom Sundae's to be used in the game.Here's my first customer to take home my "Custom Sundae #2":Gotta love that topping

Allright, now that this 72 hour break from my blog is over, let's get back to talking about Facebook.. from the inside. You think I'm gonna trash it, right? You think I've been angry lately and taking it out on everything? God you're good.As I was saying, I'm done blocking and adding everyone I want to.

And so begins another blog post with un-founded sources and incorrect syntax.You know, there's a solid amount of books out there that talk about positive visualization. "You should envision yourself being successful", healthy, blabla, something, etc. Positive thinking begets positive events, and negative thinking begets negative thingies.

Anyway, to quote American Beauty: "I'm sick and tired of everyone taking their insecurities out on ME".

I'm on a mission to put my PS2 library to bed before buying my next game. What I mean is that I want to finish all my games, what's left is the final Colossus, Silpheed, and Gradius V. I'm throwing away Shinobi, and won't bother with R-Type Final since I saw what the final level entails. Persistence is not enough to finish a shoot'em'up, you have to skill-up all the time, to live and breathe it.

I remember the internet. I remember stealing my aunt's dial-up connection, and remember surfing the net for the first time from 4pm to 7am, almost passing out. I remember looking things up. I remember when Mcdonald's barely had a website, and Pepsi started posting quictime movies of just random stuff. I remember that when you used to look things up, you used any search engine you wanted. I

All I have to say, is that it's been a while since anybody made a game this polished, this thorough, and this enjoyable since Super Mario Bros (keep in mind, I don't play anything in the Mario lineage/legacy). There is love oozing until every last pixel and gameplay mechanic. Odin Sphere is one of the few true successors on the timeline of "real videogames". Throwing away everything what's "in

You know, every-time someone asks me why I'm not on Facebook, I really don't know what to answer, and it's only because I've never worked out the complexities of what I think of it. I think I'm getting quite close to finally figuring it out, or at least, how to properly put it into words. It's difficult because the thought is more written in machine code than in human tongue.The answer would be

For those of you who don't know who Tim Schafer is, I suggest you check out his game bio on MobyGames here. I've been a big fan on Schafer's work longer than I thought, as he's responsible for my first adventure/survival horror game Maniac Mansion. He's also responsible for other bastions of PC gaming such as The Secret of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and the multi-platformed Psychonauts.Burtal

As a person who's two necks deep into Video Game history, I'm very interested in knowing how Capcom is going to play this revival. You see, SF2 crowded the arcades, creating one of the greatest subcultures in videogame history. It's only console hit was Street Fighter 2 for the SNES, IMHO. The driving force in Street Fighter culture is EVO2K, and if you're not sure about where SF culture is

I play a lot of video games. And I wish, really wish, that there was a way to catalog every single game I've played on every system...Bad start.I play a lot of video games, and I've got my favourites. Nowadays, it's hard for newer games to make your list of "best games you've ever played", especially since the focus seems to be on making games as exhilerating and pulse-pounding as hollywood

Sometimes you just type anything and put a ".com" to see where you wind up. Today, I decided to type "belong.com" in my location bar. I usually back out of there once I see that it's a generic placeholder type page. I've never actually looked into how one would proceed to buy the said domain from the parked page, simply because I'm sure it's a lot of money.. but just how much money are we talking

Ok. Listen. There's a friend of mine whose favourite saying is the following: "People in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones". I'd say that in this case, people who live behind the TV, shouldn't throw stones at it.

Oh, and also, if you're going to buy a popular domain and park a marketing page there that links to other mildly pertinent sites until someone gets hungry enough to buy it off your company... PERHAPS you should pay attention to the choice of images you hand to the underpaid teenager who handles your templates, especially, at biznatch.com:no, biznatch is not a fancy word for "bags"..

Ya know. Studying design is a good idea if you wanna be a designer, but it's certainly not MANDATORY. However, when it comes to looking at your own stuff an be somewhat of a critic, stepping back and asking yourself questions about your work, you should do that. Perhaps not even autonomously, you can ask a fellow designer, or you could ask the guy in accounting. But sometimes I look at stuff and

It's just my belief, that games are best reviewed fresh. I don't mean right when they come out, I mean reviewing it during the timeframe of your first playthrough. Hindsight can very deceptive when you force yourself to go back to a game in order to review it. Think about the time that you played your first playthrough of what came to become your favourite game, or that 5 minutes into which you

Look. I was talking to a friend today, and she had never, and I mean never, heard of YouTube. Which pretty much makes that the shortest and best conversation about YouTube that I've ever had, and it kinda made me sad.But for the rest of us, that is, those of us who make use of this service in the way we see fit, there's an inexhaustible wealth of things to see on youtube.

Let's just do this, ok? Let's just get a little perspective on things. My perspective, to be exact.Let me talk to you about the future: it's been cancelled. There will be no future, it will be fed to you, ever so slowly, bite after bite, like a baby in a high chair. You don't chew solids, and that's because you're not being fed with a spoon, you're being fed with an eyedropper -- the new wool

Another day, another grocery basket. Walking through the aisles picking out a few things for a decadent indoor day, and I see it again, the one I never bought. As you will soon see, Maxwell House came out with a new instant coffee, and the upgrade, isn't in the taste. Let me just rewind a little bit to see how this meeting happened at the polished up exec table of Maxwell House:Bauss: So, as we

You know, there's about 5 blogs in my queue that are about "serious" topics, i.e., topics that are not centered around video games. I'm just getting this feeling that this blog is not being read, and while I could pop that suspicion by automagically putting a counter on this page, I will continue to live on with the sheer discomfort of thinking that I am speaking to the dark.So, recently, there's

I could have said "love", but "heart" is much more non-committal.It's the reason to keep waking up early, even though it's saturday. On a really nice day, you can drive around with a coffee and the windows rolled down, as your partner of choice puts his/her feet up on the dash and you slow down to read any neon piece of paper, and turn at the balloons strapped to a car. It's like a slow-motion

Such a maleable thing, the internet. Back in the days of Trumpet Winsock, we could only speculate about what the internet would turn out to be. You'd hear things.. what am I saying, you'd hear THE thing: "Information Superhighway".

I just remembered a small detail that occured sometime during this winter, or was it summer. I'll find the date soon enough.Went to the Elektra exhibit, the theme was synchronicity between music and videogames. You essentially played games made by amateurs/students where the track being played had an effect of the game's dynamics. It was an exploration, and all in all, I would say that it turned

I wonder sometimes if it takes longer to fix something while taking pictures of it for a blog. My left L3 button's rubber sheath came loose while playing ICO. Of all games, really. Essentially, what was happening is that the L3 button's sheath was rotating on itself when you went from one direction clockwise or counterclockwise to the other. Really annoying.I was trying to climb a tree at Kingdom

So as many of you know, I own a PS2. And, as many of you don't know, I also happen to own an XBOX. I didn't buy it. No, I didn't steal it either. Stealing, by the way, also means borrowing a DVD and never giving it back. Yeah, someone gave it to me, about 2 years ago. In fact, I used to play Halo at that person's place, and they decided they were getting a 360, so I got a nice plastic bag with an

(...your friend, might be crazy)Since the theme this week seems to be "giving in to modern trends", I've decided to get a YouTube account, and only one person reading this knows exactly why. No, you won't be seeing my face on there anytime soon, as I can't possibly aspire to more fame and hate than Chad Warden for the time being.

Had a small party yesterday to inaugurate Taiko Drum Master. We should have taken pictures, but I'm sure we'll be beatin' dem skins again sometime this spring/summer season. Surprise surprise, KD unlocked the Oni mode, and we got to play some insanity that was more in tune with our frantic drumming inclinations.I once read that blogging about blogs is a definite no-no nowadays (couldn't find the

I remember a time when I would search the web for sites of big companies such as McDonald's or Pepsi, and they barely had anything up and it looked like crap. I remember looking up some of my favourite things, but the best thing I could find was a blue-over-white fanpage with 33 consecutive animated GIFs. I remember a time when I didn't use Google as a search engine, but savvysearch, Wired's

For some of us, the answer to the question "What was the first scariest game you've ever played" is likely to be "DOOM". I agree. It's not FIRST on my list, but it definitely is THE game that caused us to shut off the lights and dive in. My first scariest experience was the original Maniac Mansion on the C64. I have a thing for games that happen in large houses, and it started with that game. It

I had appropriated myself a copy of ICO about a year after buying my Playstation2 (2004). Buying it off ebay was hard at the time, but, as usual, EBgames just happened to have a copy for $17.99. Like Rez, ICO is one of these games that made the Playstation shine in a dark corner of the library, and I'm unsure if this game was only played by a small niche of people who love their games. It was

Might as well continue on this tangent of games that are yestercalendar's news. So I'm at Zellers the other day, because, you know, I buy all my goods there.. and um, something in the showcase caught my attention. It was tacky, it was over the top Jpap, and it was a Bemani game. I figured I might as well. I thought the price tag said 48$, the topmost one at least.Yeah, can't really go wrong for

And if you haven't played the first one and are not one to pay for your casual games, you now have 120 minutes total play available of free claymation goodness. If

Well, it's official, the PS3 Home social/gaming network looks pretty sweet to me. I was playing Fatal Frame II again today, and it would seem that sharing photos/videos of games would be right on the money. Wouldn't mind having a few Fatal Frame and Katamari Damacy photo albums on my coffee table. I think we'll be seeing a LOT more games with cameras strapped around our necks, hopefully, Kratos
