Power Packed PAX: Day 1
Posted on September 4th, 2012 by
The Penny Arcade Expo, or PAX for short, is a massive gaming convention started by the same folks who do the successful Penny Arcade web comic and Child’s Play charities. PAX is nearly as big as the E3 trade show, but PAX is open to the public, and features electronic video games as well as PC and tabletop games for people to try out, play, and compete. I had the opportunity to visit the original PAX in Seattle again this past weekend, so hang on for the first of a three part article series about my experiences at PAX 2012!
Parting With Power
Posted on August 28th, 2012 by
Last week, the gaming world received some sad news. Nintendo Power magazine will cease in December 2012. The magazine was a big part of my childhood, and after hearing that news, I wanted to write a blog about my favorite memories of that long-running magazine. I know putting up a blog this week isn’t as timely, but I have a lot of other things to do, like write game reviews and life in general. Plus I wanted some time to collect my thoughts. So here are some of my personal favorite memories of Nintendo Power!
Toad’s Top Ten Mario Power-Ups (Well, Actually Cary’s Top Ten)
Posted on August 17th, 2012 by
I thought I’d do a Mario themed blog since a big new game in the series is being released around this time. I first thought about writing on my favorite Mario games and characters, but I just did that when Super Mario 3-D Land came out. And while I have no qualms in revisiting old blog topics, since that was done less than a year ago, I figured it would be too soon to do again. I also thought about doing my favorite Mario villains, but aside from Toad and Luigi, all my favorite Mario characters are bad guys anyway (Koopa Kids, Wario, Capt.Syrup, etc.). So we’ll do my favorite Mario power-ups instead. The best ones are the power-ups that can make or break how well you get through levels, so we’ll go through some of my favorites here. The list isn’t in any particular order or anything.

Just Dance With Chester Cheetah!
Posted on August 14th, 2012 by
We all know Chester Cheetah as the mascot of Cheetos snacks. But did you know that he was created by one of the same folks who came up with the Pink Panther cartoon? Also, Chester Cheetah starred in TWO 16-bit 2-D platformer video games back in the day. I never played them myself, but I hear they weren’t very good. But now, Chester Cheetah is getting back into video games. Click here to read a snipped of a press release announcing that you’ll be able to download music tracks for UbiSoft’s popular Just Dance music games. And when Just Dance 4 comes out later this year, it looks like Chester might be in the game, too! Ha! Isn’t that ‘cheesy?’
