The World WILL NOT END This Weekend, Period.

Why not? Because to many people like me have too much stuff to do to believe in this foolishness. I’m personally nut-punching any swooping angels or whatever that come to attempt to remove my non-believing ass from this mortal coil. So there. That and hell, too many damn good games are coming out. Who’s with me on this? Of course, playing through Atlus’ spectacularly gloomy epic Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor again this week is a little bit creepy, but that’s more about just how damn good the game is more than a commentary on any real-life situations…

Atlus Discovers Time Travel, Stuck in 1999!

All I'll say is I hope they get back safe and bring a couple of copies of Ogre Battle 64 back with them when they return. I sold mine off a while back and kind of wish I didn't. Atlus Faithful news from June '99 below the jump…Read more »

Excellent and hilarious video, but I’ll admit my initial response was something along the lines of the following: What the…? “Oh… er… oh well? Hmmm… (consults jury, which is still out)”. Meh, I guess it’s better than a Big Head Mode or putting Larry Bird in there, but geez… Why? Feh, I’ll ignore this because the final product is going to knock my socks off (AND yours), but hell… As long as it doesn’t affect the quality of the game, id could put Phil Silvers and Don Knotts in the damn thing and it’ll still rock.

Crap. That Blogger outage took a while, didn’t it? Anyway, I had some stuff queued up that got lost in whatever was going on in the update or whatever, so I need to do some rewriting, it seems. Bleh. Back in a bit with some new stuff. I was thinking about ranting away over the PSN outage, but it’s not worth my blood pressure going up again… It does royally STINK, is all I’m saying…

Oh, and Duke Nukem Forever is HILARIOUS. A lot deeper than a lot of folks are thinking, that’s for sure… more later.

Super Fighter Team Debuts Star Odyssey in France

Sure, it happened last November, but for a time-traveling gaming junkie like me, it’s always going to be 19XX at some point during the day. How come games like this aren’t given the royal(e) treatment in the US? I guess flashy 3D graphics, millions of bucks spent on ads, parties and hype and generating celebrity-based buzz is more important than keeping these flames alive, but as Super Fighter’s Brandon Cobb says: “Never let Dreams Die!” I can’t wait to plunk down some hard-earned cash for this game once it’s all done. More information on Star Odyssey is available at the game’s official website

Happy Mother’s Day From Prototype 2!

Yes, it’s not coming until 2012, but I’m sure your mom won’t mind waiting. This creepy card from Activision should remind her of your wild days of babyhood, I’d imagine…

Update: More Random Art!

Posted on May 6, 2011 by geelw

I’ve been on a bit of a creative streak outside of writing, in case you’re wondering about the lack of updates. I’m still working on reviews and such (PSN being down has been a pain) and will have a bunch up shortly. Meanwhile, meet Maggie McGree. Her other friends (old and new) are hanging out here.

Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls Website Goes Live

Posted on May 6, 2011 by geelw

Well, alright! Xseed has set up a beautiful website for the upcoming PSN-only release and I’m loving every bit of art and info I see there. Still, with PSN possibly under attack again, will US audiences actually get to download this game? We shall see…
