Even More Awesome Stuff On Geek
I just had an email “conference” with the legendary “site admin”, stueynet himself, & while it’s true that he doesn’t actually read anything on the site, he does look at the site from time to time & most importantly works on the site to the benefit of us all - “all” being the hypothetical geek […]
More Random Notes
Instead of a new, hilariously funny article for the site, it’s just more geekblog. I at least have the comfort of knowing no-one actually reads this blog ( including the site admin - proven ), but still, meh.
Phantom Hourglass
So I bought it , of course - this game is great so far. Although I predicted that a future episode of stupidity would be responsible for my buying Hourglass, this was a smart purchase. This may in fact be the killer app for the DS; the control, graphics & gameplay are uniformly excellent - […]
Join Us!
You love the site, you’ve been thinking of joining, why not do it? Because you can’t - that simple feature was accidentally removed from Video Game Geek by the site admin during the recent visual upgrade. I would tell him, but I’m curious to see if he ever reads my posts. So if you want […]
Old Habits
Aw, what happened again? Someone, drunken, lazy, sleepy & often all 3 at once, didn’t post on the geek-blog for days. Dammit. Well, all I can say is I’m sorry, & I’ll just have to do better - sorry non-existent audience.
Halo 3!
Yes, I keep playing this game & its gets better every time - problems remain ( any level with vehicle combat automatically means some cheap deaths… ) but the experience itself gets deeper & more satisfying, & I have yet to play this online. Amazing. Plus I found a few skulls ( that would be […]
Slacking again
Just a quick word today, I just got in from work, took email abuse from the site admin & immediately sat down to write my geekblog, so sue me if it’s brief ( I still need some dinner & should play some more Halo 3 ). I played some Animal Crossing in the staff […]
Big Changes at Video Game Geek
Damned if I know what’s going on here - I had to sign in through a comment on one of my own posts ( of course, they’re almost all my own posts ). There’s been no word from the site admin, even after I sent him an email congratulating him on the quality of the […]
September 25th 2007
Last night I lined up for Halo 3, & let me tell you that was an odd experience. More than one person in the line could be heard asking “So - are we officially losers now?” Brother, do you have to ask? Geeks, I tells ya…Anyways, Halo 3 is great ( I haven’t finished it […]
What’s going on with this site?
Every thing’s fine, sometimes we just don’t feel like writing. Like when a new game is released, or when we’re enjoying an old game - or when we’re drunken. Yes, that’s just the Mario business for you, you’ve got to take it as it comes, but dammit, that’s the fun of it.
Superbutton
“Many people have a problem with the current Wii controller,” said a Nintendo PR person I just made up “it’s very complicated, so we’ve made it more basic to appeal to our new audience.” At this point cartoonish dollar signs flickered in his eyes.
Apparently, the new “Superbutton” controller is just that - a gigantic, 1 […]
Top 10 signs that you may be a geek
10. You went to a special voice coach to stop snorting when you laugh - it didn’t work.
9. You stutter so badly when talking to the opposite sex that you were diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome because of it.
8. You have publicly admitted to watching Sailor Moon - the North American kid’s TV version. You did […]
The Perfect Videogame
What elements make the perfect videogame? I don’t know, but if I jam all sorts of stupid ideas together I know In can get a VGG article out of it.
Geeked for Wii
Yep, I admit it, I finally gave in to the big N & started coveting the Wii. I was innocently watching a trailer for Super Mario Galaxy - no doubt looking for signs of lameness - when something I saw, some little nuance of play or level design feature, made me flash back to that […]
Summer
No games come out in the summer, I think someone must have passed a law - sort of. No games are released in the summer because, back in the day ( when the business was invented ), the exclusive demographic for them, kids, were all sent away to holiday jail for the duration. The only […]
E3
Yes it’s E3 again, sort of, but I don’t get to go to it. A fake journalist on a fake website apparently doesn’t get to go to fake E3 - how’s that for fucking justice? I should be the first one considered for any make believe events, considering my life-long dedication to avoiding reality in […]
Red Ring of Doom
Microsoft’s decision to extend a three year warranty to all Xbox 360s is a great move on their part, but unfortunately it means just one thing: your 360 is going to break. And yes, you can get it fixed for free ( if you have the specific red ring symptom ), but you […]
Westerns
This one got edited by me because it wasn’t funny - sorry, but you’re really not missing anything.
An Interview With Inabaki
Team Samurai’s flamboyant leader Tokonoku Inabaki, creator of such games as Dead on Arrival, Ninja Killer & Dead on Arrival Beach Croquet sits down with us for this exclusive interview.
Wishbane: Welcome to Canada, Inabaki-san.
Inabaki: Sweet little girls, I strive to touch them inappropriately.
W: How is the new Dead on Arrival game coming along?
I: When they […]
Xbox 360 Madcatz Controller Review
Thanks to it’s optimal D-pad, your fighting-game related misery can now end - this is the controller you’ve been looking for. It’s also better for any other game you can think of, since the movement of the sticks is much more fluid, & even the button placement feels better.
Nice to see someone still knows how […]
