Bigz Spits Verbs at GTA5
While putting together a previous confession involving GTA5, I stumbled upon a man whose prose really captured the essence of what GTA5 strives for. Below is the Philosopher-Poet Bigz Ant’s thoughts on GTA5. Truly a message to meditate on. It took me weeks to actually screenshot it and post it up because of the trance his eloquence left me in.

Getting Older
It’s no mystery. I’m not in high school. I don’t say the words “yolo” or “swag.” I’m getting older. I run a video game blog site and tried to start a nerd national holiday. I would say I’m pretty in touch with my inner child. Still moments come along on occasion to remind me that I’m of an older generation

Confessions of a Gaming Father: Dads in Games
I know in my circle of friends Barret of FF7 is somewhat a running joke. He is 1997 Japan’s idea of African Americans. Stereotypes saturate his dialogue and just about every aspect of the character without being full-blown racist. Wait a second. Not full-blown racist? Well… now that, that’s fixed. You’re welcome Internet. Barret is nearly the most one-dimensional character

Winmas was a Success
Saturday July 27th, 2013 was the first ever Winmas (better name still pending). I dragged the TV from my bedroom, one from my basement, and even rigged a pair of PCs and a laptop for maximum fun. Streams were watched, games were played, and there was much rejoicing. A Mortal Kombat tournament ended the night for most of my friends

Let the Gaming Begin
I said I’d crawl out of bed at noon and start my own personal gamathon today. So far so good. I’m happy to report my attractive, more athletic than nerdy, fiance is running Spyro dragon right now. I got a FF: Tactics run started earlier this week but I think I’ll be switching it up. Time for Super Mario Brothers

MGS Speedrun
Watching the MGS Speed Run and loving it. You have 10 seconds to name a boss in video game history cooler than Psycho Mantis. Time’s up.

Summer Games Done Quick
Summer Games Done Quick has begun. They’re starting big by running Okami. The awesome thing about featuring Okami, apart from it being an excellent game, is that it’s never been run in a marathon before. I’ve personally taken off for the extravaganza and intend to spend the next four days playing copious amounts of video games, purely for leisure. Apart
