Scott -- I'd love to hear your argument about how the Lodo 1Up is overrun with hipsters. Maybe we can compare notes on how all the hipsters there are always playing mega-Jenga, high-fiving each other and picking fights with frat boys.

Even if they were, I assure you that vintage video games are no ironic pursuit. Hipsters love that shizz with a mystical, dreamlike passion!

Great. Will give you clowns somewhere else to ride your fixies to and be ironic.

Likewise. I don't think I've had much trouble with any of the games aside from the occasional loose joystick on Pac-Man Battle Royale.

Have you had trouble with them at the current 1Up? They've always seemed well maintained to me.

There are so many questions I have about this little project. I would love it if they made the game more 3D (certainly the original). One would hazzard a guess at not, seeming as they are using the old infinity engine and giving it a refresh. They might want to re write the character in the original too to what they were in the second instalment. Still, they must have a half ambitious plan if they have recruited all of these people. Exciting stuff!

The beautiful music for Journey was composed by Austin Wintory, Denver native and graduate of Cherry Creek High School. Check out his website at www.austinwintory.com. He will be in Denver May 18-19 when Boulder Symphony Orchestra performs music he has composed for them.

Hmmm. This looks positively excellent. Wish I was a PC gamer sometimes.

I do too -- at least when I can get my dusty old NES games to work properly.

Bummer. I still play that one.

That would be the the 1988 version released for the original Nintendo Entertainment System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S....

This newer one follows the style of New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii in 2006.

Re: Mass Effect 3: How the controversy over the ending misses a bigger point (review)

BranndonFricks — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 04:19:52 -0000

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I can very nearly promise you that if you play through the first two games, your entire view of the third game will change. A ton of amazing things do happen that involve choices you made way back in the timeline. Unfortunately that doesn't carry into the poorly written and essentially choice-free ending. And you are right, the graphics are pretty simple if you're playing on a nice gaming PC. It could have been 20 times worse graphically, but I would still have loved it(and complained a lot about the graphics). Its just 98.6% that good.

Like I said, I'm new to the series (as of this game), so of course I'm discounting the emotional connection players may have formed with the characters. But ME1 and ME2 must have been far superior in terms of dialogue, motivation, character arcs, etc. because this one felt like a pretty by-the-book sci-fi adventure to me. Is it better than most video games? Sure, but it was hard for me to understand the crazy amounts of hype. And maybe the graphics praise should have included an explicit "for consoles, that is" disclaimer instead of an implied one.

It's funny how the title could so daily be applied to the author. I played and enjoyed all three games (minus the ending) and it seems that you have missed a rather large part of what makes the series so great. Getting to know the characters and growing attached to them was a huge draw for me and from what I've read, many others. I really enjoyed the combat and exploration of the first game, but for the second and third, combat was merely incidental; it was the story that pulled me in and then kicked my face clear off with the abominable ending. The story could have been the standard for future titles to live up to, but instead was a total letdown as it ended so abruptly and nonsensically. Though the game looked nice, it is by no means groundbreaking graphically owing to the fact that it was developed for the lowest common denominator, i. e. consoles. But I didn't care about that, it was the story that mattered, I only wish EA/Bioware felt the same.

The last 4 days of the voting, I tried to vote for Tebow and my vote wasn't accepted. The same with a lot of my Tebow buddies. Something happened with the voting after he was traded to the Jets :(

I hope you review the actual event, Joe. It's likely only a third of the matches you simulated will have similar outcomes. Why don't you give us your predictions instead of a simulation? Just don't get too creative with your outcomes unless you want WWE to offer you a writer's job.

Both Pokemon Black and white are two mass video game to play. If this video games comes to Nintendo ds then it will be too interesting one.
