Revisiting Star Wars Galaxies

Fried Yoda — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 06:58:02 +0000

The recent “official” announcement of Star Wars: The Old Republic, formerly speculated to be KOTOR Online, got me all nostalgic about Star Wars Galaxies. So I went ahead and reactivated my long dead account. I was expecting to find all my houses gone and my characters deleted. But everything was still in tact, even though [...]

Real Soccer 2009 is GOD

Fried Yoda — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 05:08:53 +0000

So Real Soccer 2009 is by far the best game ever released for the iPhone….ever. Who could have ever thought that the power of FIFA ‘08 could be harnessed into a measly little application for a touch screen, non-gaming handheld device?

Plain and simple, this is where I will chronicle my gaming career. So pretty much a blog about whatever [...]

Third time is the charm

Reporting news is an arduous thing. It requires a lot of time and dedication. I have neither. It’s hard enough keeping up with regular news in the game industry, it’s even harder falsifying that news in a timely fashion. So I’m going to take a slightly different approach on things.

Gibson guitars is suing Wal-Mart and every other company affiliated with the production and sale of Guitar Hero 3. In the meantime, Fender is talking about designing a Guitar Hero 4 Stratocaster. It seems like anything with the Gibson name is prone to making stupid decisions, whether it be suing companies for creating a guitar [...]

There’s fanboys and then there’s…

Fried Yoda — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 07:25:04 +0000

…rich fanboys. Why spend $4000 on a Crystal-iced Wii when you can get a first class blow job from Ashley Alexandra Dupré? Eliot Spitzer did it…
