Mass Effect 3 is what happens when developers and publishers sell out. The game was destined to be a platinum seller based on its compelling narrative alone. We are all heavily invested in the Commander Shepard that we’ve created over the course of two games, and we’re dying to see how the story comes to [...]

Taking a listen to some of my favorite indie game soundtracks. Songs from Castle Crashers, Bastion, Shatter, PixelJunk Shooter, and more are featured.
If you want to get MMO players into a nerd rage, call whatever game they’re playing a WoW clone. I mentioned this during a recent play session of Star Wars The Old Republic, and the responses ranged from straight denial to a defensive chorus of “WoW copied Warhammer” chants. The thing is, I didn’t intend [...]
Right-wing politicians are all up in arms over President Obama’s upcoming mandate that all employers, including religiously affiliated ones, provide contraceptive coverage for their female employees. Since apparently birth control is un-Christian or something, the Washington mouthpieces have blown this up into an attack on the religious freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. Although personally I [...]
This episode features music from Chrono Cross, perhaps the most popular soundtrack among the show’s listeners, and widely considered to be one of the best video game soundtracks of all time.
Any PC gamer will be more than happy to proclaim the superiority of the keyboard-and-mouse control scheme to anyone who will listen. Most of the time, they’ll shout it to anyone who won’t listen as well. Heck, they even have documented evidence in the case of first-person shooters, where those using dual-analog controllers were trounced [...]

Some people are all upset that the company has decided to censor tweets originating from certain countries, in accordance with the laws of their governments. People just heard the word “censor” and got all mad, not caring that they’re protesting because they [...]
In retrospect, that’s a pretty dumb title since you already know this is technically my show, but it’s supposed to refer to the theme, which is stuff that’s been spending a lot of time on my iPod. This one is a little remix-heavy, but you’ll hear familiar tunes from Chrono Trigger, Shatter, Super Metroid, Halo [...]
My complimentary 30 days are up in Star Wars The Old Republic, and I’m still willing to give EA/Bioware money to keep playing it. That pretty much sums up what I think of the game. But if it’s a good fit for me, does that mean it’s a good fit for you as well? That’s [...]
If you’re into gaming at all you’ve probably heard that Sony has a new handheld system coming out, the PS Vita. But that’s probably ALL you know. Seriously, I had to look up the release date just now (February 22nd). No advertising, no promotions, nothing from Sony themselves about this thing has made its way [...]
