G.P. the GamerPuppet Unboxes the Ni no Kuni Wizard’s Edition
Hey there! G.P. the GamerPuppet here. Way back in July of last year, Cary pre-ordered the Ni no Kuni: Wizard’s Edition, which was only available on Namco Bandai’s Web site. Well it finally came in the mail recently. I hear it was really hard to get, too. So let’s take a look and see all the cool stuff inside!
Reader Request: Cary’s Favorite RPG Characters
I was running out of blog ideas and someone suggested that I list my favorite RPG characters. Now I know I’ve written blogs about my favorite Final Fantasy and Tales characters, but I haven’t listed all of them at once plus characters from other RPGs that I enjoy. So since I liked that reader’s idea, here’s a list of my favorite RPG characters. I tried to keep it limited to random monster encounter turn based battle RPGs, because if I listed characters from action RPGs like Zelda or Ys, my list would be WAY too long! So let’s get started.

Cary is Looking Forward in 2013
Happy New Year! Well, I’ve already done my Game of the Year blog, (if you missed it, I’d like to encourage you to go read it as well). So now I’ll list some games I’m looking forward to playing and maybe reviewing in 2013! This isn’t a complete list, as not every game in 2013 has been announced yet, of course. So I’m sure they’ll be others I’ll play in 2013 as well. This is just some that I know about right now. So let’s get started!
Cary’s Best Game of the Year 2012 Awards Show!
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the “Cary’s Best Video Games of the Year 2012 Awards Show!” Now, keep in mind that this is MY list only. No other outside opinions contributed. And since I’m only one person, I can’t play ALL the games out there, so some of your favorites might have been missed. Expect some surprises and games you might not have heard of, or ones I would’ve even picked! So without further ado, here’s my awards show!
A Most Mizerable Christmas (Book)
In the 15 plus years that I’ve been writing for newspapers and Web sites (including this one), I’ve written about all manner of video game reviews, edutainment titles, controllers, accessories, and gadgets, and even a couple of movie reviews. But I don’t think I’ve ever done a book review before now! So here’s a short mini-review! A Most Mizerable Christmas is a children’s book written by Mick Foley, a WWE Legend. The story tells about what happens when a school bully learns a lesson about Christmas.
UNPLUGGED: HOLIDAY GUIDE 2012
Each year I try to put together a little something to help gamers spend more face-to-face time together. We missed last year but we’re roaring back in 2012 to provide you with some great examples of boardgames to get you and your family gaming. You might not find all these titles at your local mega-mart but many can be found online or in a friendly local game store. Boardgames are relatively timeless so feel free to delve into previous guides for additional advice.
