Pineconeattack, or PCA is a semi-collaborative effort of sheer idiocy, perpetrated on teh interbutts for our own sick amusement, with articles about gaming, pop culture/fad and anything we find funny. Seriously, escape while you can.

It’s time to update some of my sticks

I noticed that I’ve been accumulating a few more sticks and I’m at the point now that it’s time to personalize them and give them that old Pineconeattack hurrah. One thing I hate more than anything is being an owner of a generic run of a mill mass-produced joystick. For the love of Mike, Madcatz and Hori has made it so damn easy to replace the artwork on these sticks, I still don’t understand why more people are not doing just that! It really did annoy me seeing so many generic sticks at EVO this year. I would be too damn afraid of having my stick stolen and have no recourse since most sticks just looks like every other damn stick. Whatever, I digress…

Review: Which Joystick Should You Get?

With fighting fever at an all time high and EVO 2010 is just around the corner, I have been receiving numerous emails asking the same question:

“Which joystick should I get?”

Now instead of constantly repeating myself I figure it would be a perfect time to break down the four more common easily attainable joysticks that you can easily find in North America. I don’t want to bog down this list with the plethora of Chinese, Korean & Japanese exclusive joysticks and variants because most of you probably have no care about them. I’ve broken down the list into three categories of cheap, moderate and expensive that can easily be found on Amazon, Game Stop or whatever domestic gaming shop and I hope this article will answer most of your questions and will help you on your way towards that perfect stick.

Monk uses Wii to seduce young boy…

Eh. Taiwan, you never fail to amaze. NSFW site. But I can’t get the official link to the news site to work.

A Tai monk used the Wii and other nifty plot devices to attempt to get jiggy with a kid. This pic, generated by the coolest news programmers ever, is pure [...]

Netflix Streaming Wii Disc Impression

So I received my Netflix disc over the weekend and gave it a spin on the dusty unloved Wii…

I have to say this is my favorite console to now watch my standard resolution shows.  While the Xbox 360 is still the superior console to stream HD programming due to overall speed, I have to say the [...]

Dracula X: Rondo of Blood FINALLY arrives on the Wii

Dracula X: Rondo of Blood is one of those elusive games that every collector wanted in their hands. Not only was Rondo of Blood the first ever Castlevania game to have been press onto the compact disc format, but also it is probably the finest example of classic formula Castlevania and one of the best [...]

Wii Energizer Induction Charge Station Review

One of my major complaints about the Wii is that fact that the damn controllers zap the hell out of my batteries. I’ve tried the rechargeable batteries route but they always seem to drain when the controllers are not in use. I’ve avoided the conventional rechargers because they are mostly cheap looking and most [...]

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom Quick Impressions

What can I tell you, it’s an excuse to turn on my Wii. I liked the game ok when I played it Jango’s house when he imported the Japanese version, but now that the game is translated, I love the game! Going through the instruction manual in English and knowing how to do moves [...]

What is that there Tatsunoko?

If you’ve been regularly visiting this site, as you well should, you have no doubt noticed the game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom pop up in articles and on the Pinekast. As excited as I am, I have to admit a bit of self ignorance. I do know a few of the characters from the Tatsunoko brand, but [...]
