Image by Flickr user: Kenneth DM (cc) Only two more days until we finally get another chance to dive into the world of Fallout! It’s amazing how quickly we’ve gone from that surprise E3 announcement to being only days away from getting our hands on the game, isn’t it? For those who will be getting their…

The Completionist Strikes Back
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: I am not a completionist. It’s true that I like to play a game till I feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth, but rarely has that translated into garnering a game’s every last item/armor/achievement/trophy/quest/etc. With some games, like with Red Dead Redemption and…
The Experience, Part 2: The Elgato Game Capture HD – Capturing from PC
Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been documenting my life as it has become with the addition of the marvelous Elgato Game Capture HD. My first post in the series was all about the decision that led to me getting the Game Capture HD. My second post highlighted my experience using the device to capture…
All Will Become Clear (in time)
image captured by Hatm0nster The biggest news to come out about Destiny is that it has now added micro-transactions for the purpose of providing more cosmetic options for players willing to spend. As significant a change as this is, there’s another recently-discovered issue with the game that I’d like to talk discuss for a bit;…
The Experience, Part 1: The Elgato Game Capture HD – Capturing from the PlayStation2 and GameCube
Following up on my post from last week on attaining the Elgato Game Capture HD, this week I’m going to go more in-depth into the experience of actually using it. One caveat: I will be discussing its use relative to capturing from the PlayStation 2, GameCube (here in part 1), and PC (next week in…
Day 10: Best Gameplay
Whenever I am low on ideas, it is always easy to fall back on my trusty 30-day video game topics. While it was meant to take place over the course of 30 days, I have completely broken the rules and don’t even care. I’m a rebel like that. I don’t even heed the expiration date…
The Hunt Begins Anew!
Image by Flickr user: Corrinne Yu (cc) The hunt is back on everyone! “Hunt the Truth” season two kicked off earlier this week, and wasted no time getting down to business! For those who may not be aware, earlier this year Halo fans were treated to season one of “Hunt the Truth”, a 12-episode podcast…
Xenoblade Chronicles is over, and I’m…happy?
In early 2013, I made an attempt to play Xenoblade Chronicles. This was on the heels of finishing The Last Story, so I was in a JRPG mindset, and a pretty good one at that. But the timing just didn’t work out. After finding out that I’d need well over 60, 80, 100 hours just…
Dragon Age Inquisition: Should Your Adventure Continue?
Images captured by: Hatm0nster Dragon Age: Inquisition was a game that I felt really didn’t need any dlc add-ons. By itself, the game is absolutely bursting with things to do and locations to explore. The story is well-told, and I even felt like I got enough time to really get to know most of my inner-circle….
Wasting Time with Purpose
When Angry Birds first appeared, I soared with the best of them. When Candy Crush Saga crushed the competition, I gladly got under the steamroller. When The Simpsons Tapped Out infiltrated my screens, I tapped, tapped, and tapped some more. I sliced things up in Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope, ran for my life…
