After getting the heads up from Ancient Flounder about the killer deal on the SoulCalibur IV joysticks at Fry’s, I rushed down after worked and pick up one for myself. After playing around with this joystick for a couple of days, I’m actually quite impressed with its build quality. Hori is general know for […]

Okay, first of all I’m first recovering from the shock of MadCatz being giving the exclusive rights to the official Street Fighter IV joysticks/controllers and now I’m having a fucking coronary here because they look badass and not chinsey and cheap…
These photos were taken at the GameStop Expo 2008, wait! What!? When did GameStop get […]

Okay, it looks like I was behind the curve on this story but I just recently noticed that the Working Design translated RPG classic VAY was released on the iTunes server for the fancy schmancy iPhones.

Well, much like the PSP, one of the greatest uses for Nintendo’s Wii gaming system seems to be the infinite (and awesome!) hackability of its periphials.
Case in point, some German students have taken the time to use the newly released WiiFit board to make an interactive Google Earth, perfect for the aspiring superhero/VR nut.

I suppose this is funny, since I neither own a Wii, nor expect to have one at any time soon; but every couple of weeks when I can drag myself away from my frantic yaoi manga fapping, its quite a treat to roll into Jangofatt’s domicile and swing my arms around wildly with our under-graphically […]
