I remember when I got a promotional VHS (yep!) in the mail for Banjo Kazooie that I think had Jon Lovitz as the spokesperson. When he was talking about all the collectibles and showed similar looking stages as Mario 64, I wrote it off as a knock off. I played it enough at a cousin’s house to beat it, but it wasn’t…

To this day Banjo-Kazooie remains my favorite video game of all time. I play through it every summer and it never disappoints. It’s just such a solid platformer and I love to collect thangs.

Poor DK64. Okay, it wasn’t great, but I think calling it *bad* is a little harsh.

I got to the second part of Grunty's final boss fight and while we were away at my parent's friends house, their kids started a new game and saved over my file. I never went back to finish it, and I've never gotten over it. Sure the pain dulls and I forget, but every time it's mentioned, a small spike comes back and…

It’d be interesting to see the kind of “Quiz Show” you could have with games in 2015.

“The video was always a little bit suspect, since Weidman admitted he could not verify the source who claimed to have this information, and, as pointed out below, Weidman didn’t necessarily believe all of the source’s claims. Nevertheless, he published the video”

Woah, an actual issue regarding ethics and censorship in games journalism.

I hope Konami goes under as soon as possible. It is a horrible, toxic company right now.

Man, I really feel bad for Kojima. Seriously, I wish we knew what the hell the people at Konami are/were thinking. What the hell are they even doing at this point? So fucking stupid.

I’d leave a snarky comment, but it would take too much time to think one up and I’d rather go back to playing the demo. Because DAMN this is fun.

I was working in a sort of purgatorial QA job at Microsoft, and stayed up all night building Unreal maps, (playable but embarrassing now). I also have to admit, a job as a games journalist didn’t hurt. Psygnosis noticed some seriously over-the-top preview babble I had written and said “We want that man to blow things…

If by 3, they mean 6 then no this is accurate.

I’d be okay with Japanese voice acting and subtitles. Or just no voice acting. Capcom listen to us.

Also, how is it that we still can’t play PS Classics on PS4? UGHHH

Remember right before Inafune left Capcom he was helping make a 3DS sequel to Legends? Biggest sad times ever when that got canceled. Seriously. “Oh, wait, you guys WANT this game? Fuck it, stop the presses! It’s canceled now.”

This is how I remind you.

Release a little over 15 years ago in North America, back when Capcom gave a damn about Mega Man

I have absolutely no problems with feminism that wishes for equality for all and not special treatment for some (and death for others). I want all of my journalism to be the fairest, most accurate reports they can be. So I guess I’m in the first bracket.
