Well drats, Miramax is dead →
They had an amazing run. I’m sure the name will still be on things in the future, but will it carry its former panache? Probably not.

“Dude you are a fucking idiot peter, go “negative” review on games like Too Human...”
– Comment left by an N4G user on an article on Negative Gamer.
The comment is in reply to an article mocking dumb comments left on a previous post. That post was a fake breakup letter between Pete and Uncharted 2 (the article was liked by Naughty Dog who linked to it on their dev blog).

I started last night
Yesterday, I mentioned that I might go back through the Legend of Zelda games released on all of Nintendo’s major consoles.

An undertaking? Maybe.
Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking about revisiting the original Legend of Zelda for the NES. I have not played through the Legend of Zelda since 1989, and I have little to no remembrance of where things are or what to do first.
The Legend of Zelda series is - for all intensive purposes - my favorite gaming series. While it can be argued that the games have not evolved structurally...

Role-Playing, Serious Business... for some
My first experience doing the dirty
For a vast segment of the MMO community, role-playing as their created character is never a consideration during the creation process. However, for some players, role-playing provides them with that extra “push” into a more realistic experience – allowing player and character to unite as one personality. It’s a silly notion for most, but an experience I had to...

SO TRUE →
This story is totally true. I have worked for Gamestop and Game Crazy, and both of the retail chains provided me with similar experiences.
However, the Game Crazy job was much more bearable when compared to my time with Gamestop.
I encourage all to read this.
And it's done. Sad day →

Seeing how I already won a t-shirt from @IGNcom for the “Reasons” contest, I figured it was time to change my picture on here. So - TADA!
RT @mormonrage: I don’t care how fruity it is, that FFXIII trailer is awesome.
Quote from my girlfriend after giving her the TMZ news about Conan: “God, Leno. What a fucking fag.” Hah.

A frustrating day in entertainment history
According to the popular entertainment site, TMZ, NBC has chosen to move forward with Jay Leno as the new (read: reduced, reused, and recycled) Tonight Show host instead of keeping the, in my and many others opinion, funnier Conan O’Brien.
In the long run, what is this going to do to the Tonight Show’s reputation? While Leno may have been the highest rated host in late night...
