Video Games

Now that the Rock has confirmed he will in fact not be seeking presidential election anytime soon, nor will he be returning to the WWE, he will instead continue being in every single movie as humanly possible. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is working on another video game movie. During an interview with Men’s Journal, the 49-year-old former professional wrestler revealed that he’s set to star in another video game adaptation. “I can’t tell you which game in particular we’re doing,…

When I was a kid I collected Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys and comics. I watched the cartoon and the movies. I even got to see the Turtles musical live! Of course I played the video games too. Yes I was a TMNT fan. Actually I still am. And so the announcement of Shredder’s Revenge made me very happy. Its time to get nostalgic and also look ahead to the new game! My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom can be…

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! This time I share my thoughts about this year in video games and just how lucky video game fans were compared to, oh say movie fans or tv show fans. Time to reflect and hug your video games or you know, thank a video game developer. Well, we made it to the holidays. Its been a bad year. I think most of us can agree that 2020 sucked and we never want to see it again.…

As the year 2020 starts to finish up (thank goodness), we have to wonder: what will happen next year? To keep things more game centric: what will developers/publishers and companies like Nintendo, Xbox, and Sony put out next year? Here are my thoughts! 2021 might be another tough year for video games (and everything else) like this year. I won’t say 2020 was a bad year for video games. We got Animal Crossing New Horizons, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The…

I was going to write about Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 2 but this year and the larger issues with a splash of video game thoughts. I think we all lose sight of the big picture sometimes, then life hits us on the head and reminds us. This could perhaps be my last column or perhaps not. My future is uncertain at the moment. My life is a mess. I won’t go into details but things have gone downhill for…

Last week, I talked about the games I couldn’t wait to play in 2020. This week, I’m talking about my favorite games of 2019. That seems a bit out of order I know, but there was a game that I was getting for Christmas that I thought might be on this list! So I waited and sure enough, its on this list. Please check out my top 10 games of 2019. 2019 is almost over. After tomorrow, we’re headed into…

Its my favorite time of the year again: October, which means Halloween is just around the corner. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before but it bares repeating again, I love Halloween. The candy, the spooky stuff, everything. I’m too old to go trick or treating but I still enjoy eating candy and watching spooky shows/movies this time of year. I also love playing spooky video games! Here’s what I’ve played lately and what I’ll play soon. This year, I got…

Most of the time I talk about video games in this column, but today I wanted to change things up a little. Ready Player One is an upcoming motion picture based on a book by Ernest Cline. I read the book and liked it a lot. I can’t wait to see the movie! Why should you care about the movie? Well…the movie (and the book) is about a video game of sorts and has a lot of video game references.…

There has never been too many TV shows about video games, but there use to be a few. In this day of YouTube, it doesn’t seem like anyone cares if there are TV shows about video games. People can just go on the internet and watch such shows. I still miss being able to turn on the TV and catch some video game content. My favorite such show about video games was X-Play. It aired first on TechTV and then…

I use to get into “fights” on twitter a lot. I would say something (or I’d say something to somebody else), somebody would disagree with me, and we’d go back and forth until we both got fed up and unfollowed and/or blocked each other. The problem with fights on the internet, especially places like Twitter, is that nobody wins. EVER. If somebody has their mind made up, you are not likely to change it. So why do we feel the…
