When you hear the song Still Alive, I bet you probably think about the game Portal that was one of the biggest cult phenomenon games I have noticed within the past 5 years with the exception of Katamari Damacy. My girlfriend along with all of my friends once you mention Portal go crazy and are like wow that game was amazing! The unsung heroes of the series I include are the flash version and the fan made mods. X-Box live had the still alive that had additional mind challenging maps that furthered the series further and further. ASCIIpOrtal was released by Cymon 2 days ago after weeks of testing and playing around. … continue reading this entry.

Computer Security is a myth. I put it in the same arena as the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, or 2 in binary. Why do I have to keep telling people this? I put some of the blame on the techno boogey man that the press keeps pushing on us. Yet, I think most people have trouble with one Idea above all. Security is about use and technology is no different.

A while back I picked up a game for the Xbox 360: Zoids Assault. I had found it on sale and, within a few hours of play, I had found out the reason. … continue reading this entry.

Anyone who’s scurried to the movie theater to see Beowulf, Stardust, or Coraline has seen Neil Gaiman’s work. The British author helped to write the screenplay for the first, and wrote the books that the other two were based on.
Gaiman has penned everything from comics to screenplays, children’s books and full-length novels. American Gods is not the least of these. … continue reading this entry.

It seems strange to be drawn to an anime like I am to YuGiOh. As a proud player of Magic the Gathering, YuGiOh seems very childish in the way the card game presents itself, but the anime holds a place in my heart. With the camp villians, shamless card game plugs, and utter lack of respect for the original creator, I am still drawn to it. … continue reading this entry.

Today I am pulling out my DS to play the first Professor Layton game: Professor Layton and the Curious Village. It seems to me that the DS has always been more of an adventure gaming system than anything else. With the strange wave of bad licensed games for the DS, it was nice to find a game that could draw me in. It seems that for every good DS games, like Pokemon, there are about three High School Musical games. Handheld games normally focus on just churning out simple games that have little thought behind them; fortunately, Professor Layton has saved the day. … continue reading this entry.

I am not a professional writer.
Hell, scratch that. I’m not even a very good writer.
When I was approached with the opportunity to write for this blog, my inital reaction was, why me? I don’t have any qualifications. The last thing I remember actually writing was a term paper my senior year in high school. That is about the extent of my knowledge. What could I possibly have to offer? … continue reading this entry.

It is sad to say that the 493 Pokemon will be reduced to 492. In the latest announcement from Pokemon Company International regarding the new Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver brought tragic news: the beloved Pokemon Ditto will be dropped. … continue reading this entry.

As time goes on, it stands to reason that we would go back and revisit some of our favorite games from the past. Many games have found places in our hearts, but how many really stand the test of time? Well, in light of the newly-announced remake of Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver, I dusted off my GameBoy Color and blew into my cartridge for my replay of the old classic. … continue reading this entry.
