This old video I made for breakmanx.com becomes… very intriguing. I feel honored to be remixed.

Goodbye E3 2011…
WTF?
I work at a comic book store and help run weekly Magic the Gathering events. At a Friday Night Magic event held earlier this year, I enlisted the help of some fellow Magic players to create the card here. The key component and inspiration for making the card was the artwork. The artwork by Tan Guang Yu was featured in a Megaman Dark Ages Redesign contest held by CGHub. As soon as I saw the artwork, the first thing I remember thinking was how much it looked like Magic the Gathering card artwork. The card’s abilities are unfortunately overpowered, but…
Nintendo’s non-announcement of the release of Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower is a disappointment for sure, but not surprising. Good games, in fact some of the greatest games I’ve ever played didn’t receive North American releases. This has been a practice used by game publishers ever since the days of the NES and continues to this day. Terranigma, Kid Dracula, Earthbound 3, Super Mario Bros. 2 (aka Lost Levels), Secret of Mana 3, and Doshin the Giant are just a handful from previous generations.
Crime pays…for the creators of Skyrim.
As seen on 4colorrebellion & Kotaku!
Here’s a few titles I played today that don’t seems to be receiving as much press coverage as they deserve. Otomedius Excellent (X-Box 360) Otomedius Excellent continues the Konami tradition of the Parodius series in a grand manner. Having missed out on the original Otomedius (2008) in the US, Konami surprisingly plans to release Otomedius Excellent this July. Otomedius Excellent’s gameplay is very similar to Konami’s line of horizontal scrolling shooters: Gradius, Salamander, and Parodius. Ship upgrades are are implemented in a Gradius fashion, simultaneous multiplayer is featured in a Salamander fashion, and humor is injected in a Parodius fashion.…
A short documentary exploring a shadier and more adult side of E3 and video gaming…

With the upcoming unveiling of Nintendo’s next console I inevitably ask, what’s in store next generation? What can Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony possibly do next? I have no idea what’s in store, but I can’t help but feel somewhat disenchanted with one advancement in particular: graphics.
Inspired by this and that. DISCUSS!

It was 1994. I was about 10 years old when I went into the kitchen to go grab some orange juice. I was about to play Super Metroid, which I had borrowed from a friend of mine. I had left the start screen on, and when I returned, the game had gone to demo mode. My jaw dropped when I saw all of the insane stuff Samus could do. For me, the “Crystal Flash” was the most alluring. I spent days rewatching the demo mode to try and figure out how to do it, but eventually gave up. I considered…
Excitement is in the air! There’s a whole slew of rumors going around as to what Nintendo’s follow up to the Wii be able to do, but many will likely not be confirmed until E3. In the spirit of wishful thinking, here are some things that I would like to see that haven’t already been rumored…
Is it going to happen!? Will those who have preordered Portal 2 get to play it tomorrow? I sure hope so (crosses fingers). Find out with us 11:00 AM (Eastern), 10:00 AM (Central) or 8:00 AM (Pacific). http://www.aperturescience.com/a/b/c/d/g/h/abcdgh/

The biggest factor in reviewing a fighting game for home console is usually how faithfully the original arcade version is represented (unless the even the arcade version is terrible). I good port of a popular arcade game can be a system seller. In the 16-bit era, the Super Nintendo had a heads-up on the Genesis for first having an impressive version of Street Fighter II (1992). Sega responded with a more faithful rendition of Mortal Kombat (1993, with blood!) and Street Fighter II Championship Edition (1993). For perhaps one of the first times in the major fighting game genre,…
Ever since I first attended the Penny Arcade Expo a couple years ago and was blown away, I’ve had a new standard in what I expect from conventions that cater to fans of video games, tabletop gaming, comic books, and nerd culture in general. PAX is a somewhat strange combination of the 3, but as I’ve said before, I’ve never quite had as much fun as I’ve had at PAX. PAX is essentially a convention that combines the loves of its creators Gabe and Tycho. It’s not without its criticisms, but I always look forward to overwhelming feeling that I…
It’s finally here. I hold in my hands a genuine, brand spanking new aqua blue Nintendo 3DS! Although I’ve played the 3DS a few times before, this is the first time I’ve had the chance to really check everything out. Here’s my impressions after having played around with this baby for the past few hours…
Coming straight from Capcom’s booth. Zangief VS Fei Long. I’m so excited for this launch!
Here’s the video clip I mentioned in my earlier post. I present you chiptunes master Bit Shifter. Stay tuned for more videos as soon as I get a chance to compress and upload them. Wish you were here. I’m having a blast.
The last few days have been overwhelming in Boston to say the least. As I write this, it is 5:00 AM and I am waiting for a video to load to share with everyone here (stay tuned). While I’m here, I thought I should chime in on some of the stuff I done so far…
