The lights are on
This is going to be a very personal and very likely long blog for me, so please be aware of that. Also, I'm sorry, but it will also be full of unedited, pure rants from the back of my brain. I apologize in advance for loving my soap box so much. More

6/21/2010 ORIGINAL:
I recently had the unique opportunity to try out the newly-launched cloud gaming service called OnLive. For those of you unfamiliar with the service, think if it as playing a game that is running on another computer over the internet. So it is kind of like playing a game through a glass window, except what happens in that window is recorded and anyone online at the time can watch you play (and give you a thumbs up or a thumbs down). You also can take that session and resume it from any PC or Mac that you use.
The theory and the features behind OnLive make it very appealing, especially if you don't own a gaming PC or a console. It is also a refreshing way of thinking about bringing games into the home. But is it just words on paper, or is the practice and the function as good as it sounds? More

This didn't become the regular posts I was kind of hoping it would be, but really, when you don't have any time to game, what choice do you have?
A lot has happened since the last Spelunk (*cough*E3*cough*), and that means this one could also be the biggest one. Prepare yourself for mini-review awesomeness... More
It goes without saying that in the late 70's, early 80's horror flicks in general suffered from too many sequels. Once terrifying nightmare creatures are turned into mere jokes of themselves, and burgeoning franchises are turned to ridicule. More
My thoughts on why Jaws should have only been the one classic film, and not a ridiculed franchise.
The very first thing I think I should do is preface with this: I enjoyed BioShock 2. In fact, I will likely play any game in this universe. Rapture is one of the few truly unique, captivating locations in all of gaming. It is not another post-apocalyptic wasteland, it is not Green Hill Zone or the Mushroom Kingdom - in fact, it is hard for me to find anything to compare it to. The setting alone can be revisited many times, that is fine, but let's let this complete story stay that way, and move on to something new.
