While at the job that pays the bills, I noticed a video of my 7 month old son that his mother posted. Described simply: my boy is standing! Immediately, pride overwhelmed me. Then I went into our toys and game section and purchased a Sonic, the Hedgehog plush. The boy needs inspiration if he’s going to take the next step;
I played Pokemon Red when it came out. It was just another game on my gigantic first generation Game Boy; that poor archaic Game Boy. The thing was about as old as me. By the time I inherited it from my mom’s boyfriend, it was mostly duct tape. It was several years until an Onyx Game Boy Advance SP replaced
Some of you may have noticed by now Winsomnia is going through some serious changes. Plenty of new buttons and doodads are being added to the site. A tumblr and twitter account have been created for you social media junkies. Over the next week you may notice icons shifting around and disappearing. It may take me a bit to get
How have I gone nearly 30 years of gaming without seeing this? I’ve lost cred because this is new to me. I consider it an effective commercial. The absurdity and humor I view Zelda with is perfectly captured. Enjoy. I know I did.
In late July I plan on starting my own Holiday. I’m calling it 16-Bit Saturday. 8-Bit is awesome but 16-bit allows the variance I desire for my weekend. Kidding, it’s because the alliteration.

A lone manly tear welled in my eye upon seeing this on Facebook. I miss that feeling Mass Effect used to evoke. I miss loving that game. If only they would finish the series and finally release ME3. I guess I’ll have to forever imagine what could’ve been.
When Tim Schafer started collecting money for a Psychonauts sequel, I let out an audible sigh. I love Psychonauts. Like any true gaming elitist prick or kid that saw that one episode of XPlay, Psychonauts is on my top 50 favorites list. The LucasArts adventure games he worked on are all on that same list.

Official PS4 Interface Video These may be the most unlikable human beings I’ve ever seen in a video game commercial. And I remember the Virtual Boy release trailer. “I do need a bottle of Cialis but that guy was unbelievable as a character,”aren’t words I would utter for a number of reasons.
