Happy (belated) New Years From MWN

Happy (belated) New Years From MWN

Ok so 2009 is finally over…somebody took it out back behind the barn and put a slug in its noggin. I can’t be happier. A huge period of ‘no time’ has finally passed and I now find myself staring, mouth agape over the possibilities this this upcoming year will bring us whores, and all other […]

Morning Cup o’ Music

I’m going to be taking it waaaaay back today people. Back to the early days of pop-techno. Utah Saints, a group neither from Utah nor Saints came on the scene about 20 years ago and had a few hits before fading into obscurity. The album that this is featured off of came out in 1992 […]

$330k For a Non-corporeal Item?

$330k For a Non-corporeal Item?

A player of Entropia Universe Online that goes by the name Buzz Erik Lightyear must have a whole bunch of disposable income that he should be spending macking hoes and smokin blunts while doing donuts in his Ferrari. I say this because the DB actually spend over $300,000 dollars to buy a piece of in-game […]

Mushihime-sama to iPhone?

I can’t believe that Cave is going to be porting this game (and many others it appears) to the iPhone. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for this game to his the App Store, but at the same time I know that it’s not going to be exactly like its namesake.

Morning Cup o’ Metal

Well maybe it’s not cool to like KISS anymore, but the band has always held a place in my childhood fascination. I wasn’t even thought of when the band hit its high mark so I never got a chance to enjoy them as they were around. I’ve always thought that I was born in the […]

New Guilty Gear Game? Fuck YES!

New Guilty Gear Game? Fuck YES!

The God of fighting game systems, Daisuke Ishiwatari, announced today that all of us Guilty Gear fans will finally have our own version of the series on the PS3/Xbox 360. Yup, that’s right…instead of playing BlazBlue for the 8,000,000th time, you’ll now be able to have a chance to take your favorite characters from Arc […]

Plants vs Zombies on the iPhone…finally!

Plants vs Zombies on the iPhone…finally!

Not being a PC gamer that much anymore, I’ve never had a chance to play many of PopCap’s great games on the medium they’re normally released for…thankfully they’re good enough to make ports of most of them for the iPhone. Hell, if it weren’t for this fact, I’d never have played Peggle or BookWorm. Now, […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

All you need to know about this video is that Oderus Urungus goes 1 on 1 with Jesus in a b-ball game which is just so fucking awesome. There’s that…and the fact that Jesus wears Converse shoes. If you’ve never heard anything by GWAR…first, shame on you! Second, go out and get their entire catalogue […]

Super Mario World Made Me Retarded

Super Mario World Made Me Retarded

Let me get this out there right now. There is in my mind, no better example of a platforming game and no “Mario” game that comes as close to perfection than Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo. I love this game like no other, and I’m sure that there are thousands if not millions […]

A Weird Kid’s Top 10 — Arcade Beat ‘Em Ups

A Weird Kid’s Top 10 — Arcade Beat ‘Em Ups

If there’s one genre of games I think is getting the shaft over and over again that made me fall in love with gaming in the first place, it would have to be the beat ’em ups. These games were just notorious for eating a roll of quarters faster than a German in a Mentos […]

Morning Cup o’ Music

I take everything this man says as gospel. I especially love how he says about most of the British groups that everyone always praises as the best bands of all time, as being ‘just a band’. I’m sure someone out there would disagree with this, but fuck ’em my blog, my rules.

Morning Cup o’ Metal

Yeah, I went there. It’s anoter Anime Music Video morning featuring Dragonball Z. This time it’s Coal Chamber’s only single that ever got major play “Loco” off of their self-titled album that was a favorite of mine throughout high school. It’s completely unoriginal nu-metal, but it’s still a pretty badass song in its own right. […]

Machinarium Demo Released

The one PC game that I’ve been fapping about for the last couple of months, Machinarium, has finally got a demo release. I’m downloading it as I type. You can get your own from FilePlanet if you’re a fan of the PC adventure games of the past, or present like Monkey Island for that matter. […]

You Should Be Playing…

You Should Be Playing…

Brütal Legend and Need for Speed: Shift. Both games have their demos out today. While I’m more interested in seeing what NfS:S can do, I know that many of the MWN guys have chubs for Brütal Legend and have that on their ‘must have’ list for 2009.

Bayonetta Demo Next Week

Bayonetta Demo Next Week

Exactly one week from today, you’ll be able to get your hands on Sega’s newest ass-kicking game Bayonetta. I had a chance to play this at PAX this year and I have to say, it’s looking pretty damn cool and plays really well. The demo will be on both the PS3 and the 360, but […]
