    8 Reasons I Quit Playing Facebook Games

    Two years ago, I ranted about the need for more challenge and chance in social games. Since then, the entire gaming industry has drastically changed. If I sound like a broken record on that note, it’s because in a fast-paced, high-tech market, it’s always true (and thus worth reiteration). It seems ...

    Pay-What-You-Like.  You’ve sometimes seen it called Pay-What-You-Want.  You’ve seen it while leaving your local museum or hippy café as a big box that says “Donations.”  You’ve also seen it for Radiohead’s In Rainbows or with Humble Bundle, the collection of indie games offered for however much you’d like to pay ...

    Hardcore and Back Again: Video Games in a Nutshell

    The SNES was a young kid's dream (in the early 90's). Every game felt brand-spanking new, because it was. When video games first came along, "copycats" were neither a logical thing to consider, nor an option. Video games were casual. They were made for mainstream audiences. And back then, even the ...

    The Time Has Come: Pokemon and Me 15 Years Later

    Last year, when my mind was busy with summer vacation, I came home to an unsettling sight. Roxy's tumor had grown exponentially. Her arm was swelling up to a point where she couldn't even lift it. All attempts to remove the tumor would only make it grow back with a ...

Eric Clapton + An Inability to Play Diablo III = Lady Game Lyric

There’s not a lot that can dampen the spirit of our good friend LadyGameLyric, but apparently being blocked from a single-player game that resides almost entirely on one’s own computer due to a poor connection is one of them. Yes, even the mighty Lady was afflicted by the horrors of Error 37 when she tried [...]

Zelda + Christina Perri = Lady Game Lyric

We’ve got an oldie but a goodie today from our good friend, Lady Game Lyric. Well, if “two months” counts as an “oldie,” anyway. Witness the lyrical fusion of Legend of Zelda, one of LGL’s clear favorites, with Christina Perri’s Jar of Hearts. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you “Piece of Heart,” presented with several pieces [...]

Make a Game Out of Making a Game with New Game-Making App

You’ve probably played Draw Something by now, unless Zynga is in the habit of paying $200M for games nobody is playing. So, it’s probably a safe assumption that you’re well-versed in the art of touch-screen composition; your fingers have undoubtedly wrought any number of glorious masterpieces for your online pals to enjoy. Wouldn’t it be nice [...]

Zelda + Avril Lavigne = Lady Game Lyric

Some classics will never go out of style. Are we referring to the seminal entry in the Zelda series, Ocarina of Time, or to Avril Lavigne’s debut album hit, Sk8er Boi? Why can’t we be referring to both? Our good friend Lady Game Lyric is back, and she brings us an upbeat retelling of the Ocarina tale. Watch, enjoy, [...]

Sonic Math: 1 + 2 = Metal

I think, by now, that we all know our friend Sonic the Hedgehog has gotten through life based on his athletic skills (and his iconic attitude has certainly helped), so we can forgive him for being a little fuzzy on some other skills, like mathematics. We should be willing to forgive him for being fuzzy [...]

Zelda + Fun = Lady Game Lyric

Our good friend Lady Game Lyric isn’t telling us her age, and it would be impolite to ask. Still, if she were one of Zelda’s cheerful Kokiri, as she is dressed in her new video, she would never age, and would remain perpetually childlike and green-haired. That’s the subject of her latest parody, entitled “We Stay [...]
