My Mom’s Top Five Favorite Video Game Characters!
Posted on May 8th, 2012 by
A couple of years ago around Mother’s Day, I wrote a blog about my mom’s favorite video games. Her lineup hasn’t changed at all since then, so this year for Mother’s Day (next Sunday, May 13), I thought I’d list some of her favorite video game characters instead.

Atari Stays Crunchy Even in Milk!
Posted on May 2nd, 2012 by
Looks like some General Mills cereals are going retro. The other day at the grocery store I noticed the Atari logo on a box of Cheerios. Since I like both video games AND cereal, it caught my eye. Nothing special, just some kiddy mazes and activities on the back of the box. But things have been slow on the video game front, and I thought this was at least somewhat interesting anyway.

Cary’s Top Five Favorite Video Game Pirate Characters!
Posted on April 27th, 2012 by
This weekend I’ll be going to see a new movie in theaters. I’m a big fan of clay animation, so the movie I’ll be seeing is Aardman’s The Pirates! Band of Misfits. So because of this, lately I’ve been in a slight ‘piratey’ mood, and I’ve been thinking about video games that have pirate characters that I like. So here’s a blog featuring my favorites!
Cary’s Top Five Favorite Classic Namco Cameos in Tales RPGs
Posted on April 18th, 2012 by
Tales of Graces f for the PS3 came out at just the right time for me. The main reason why I don’t finish RPGs that I start is because another game comes along that I get into, or I have a bunch of games to review (which takes top priority). And then I find myself not going back to the original RPG I was playing. I might’ve forgotten what I was supposed to do next in the story or I might not be as familiar with the controls. But Tales of Graces f came out at the end of March, and there has been NOTHING since then to distract me from it. Even when Kid Icarus: Uprising came out, I didn’t stop playing Graces since I didn’t like Uprising that much (see last blog). And there isn’t anything interesting coming out in May either, so I just might finish Graces. So since I’ve been on a bit of a Tales RPG kick lately, here’s another Tales blog. This one is about my top five favorite classic Namco references you can find in Tales RPGs.
Ghostbusting at GameStop: Spirit Camera 3DS Preview
Posted on April 14th, 2012 by
One of my guilty pleasures is watching ghost shows on TV. You know, the ones where ghost hunters go to haunted places to find proof of spirits via photos and video? Or the ones where celebrities or others recount their paranormal experiences? Yeah, I know those TV shows are pretty dumb and most of it probably isn’t real at all. But hey, we all have guilty pleasures and that one’s mine. Plus I just think ghosts are cool in general. Naturally, Ghostbusters is one of my all-time favorite movies. And one of the things I like most about Pac-Man are the ghost monsters: Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. So when I found out that a Nintendo sales representative was going to be showing a new 3DS game about ghosts at a nearby GameStop, I decided to attend. So here’s a brief preview of Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir which was released on Friday, April 13th! Whooooo!

The First Nintendo 3DS StreetPass Meetup in the North Dallas, TX Area Takes Flight!
Posted on April 1st, 2012 by
This past weekend, on March 31st, I attended what will hopefully be the first of many Nintendo 3DS StreetPass meetups in the North Dallas, TX area. A lot of people attended, and that was great. But the best part was that very same day where we were meeting, a Nintendo sales representative was also there to show off Nintendo’s new 3DS game: Kid Icarus: Uprising!
Indiana Jones Marching Band Show
Posted on March 31st, 2012 by
I found something on YouTube that I have been looking for a long time. Back in high school I was in marching band and one year we did a show featuring music from the Indiana Jones movies. It was my favorite show out of all that we did when I was in high school.
