Game on: Super Mario Galaxy and a few Quickies

November 23, 2007

That title sounds like a really bad Fall Out Boy song….
Super Mario Galaxy

Starscream meets Starscream

November 23, 2007

“Well, with it being the holidays and all, I figured I’d pay a visit to my new cousin.  I was told he was named after me; time to see if he lives up to the namesake.  But where the hell does he live?”

November 3, 2007

While I personally believe that all the idiots out there that are throwing their WiiMotes out their windows or through their televisions need to have their gaming membership cards revoked, I have to give Nintendo proper credit for actually acknowledging them and trying to take care of their customers - a desire that most other [...]
