Maybe it wasn’t just our nostalgia this whole time…

Okay, over the past few days, something quite amazing has been happening! One day, my little brother (who is 11 at the time of typing this) decided to come to my room, as he was bored, and then asked me if he could play my GBA. I told him he could, and then we went […] ...To receive more of these posts, you should follow my new blog, over at wordpress, the link is: https://cobraretroroom.wordpress.com/2014/12/27/maybe-it-wasnt-just-our-nostalgia-this-whole-time/

Yass!

I took this while I was playing Sunset Overdrive on my Xbox One, and when I fast traveled to do a sidequest, what usually happens is my player drinks then passes out, but they become ragdoll then, and I was on a tall, curved structure, so this happened… Well, alright, the clip above wasn’t the […] ...To receive more of these posts, you should follow my new blog, over at wordpress, the link is: http://ift.tt/1uaWce3

I got an XBone!

Who’d have thunk it, eh? In the space of 2 months, I got 3 consoles! I’m spoiled, aren’t I?

Today marks the 10th Anniversary of Acclaim’s Death (I think)

According to what I’ve read online, the game publisher Acclaim declared bankruptcy on the 1st September 2004, which makes today it’s 10th anniversary. Well, since I rarely get to talk about these guys and the games they’ve made, I guess I’ll dedicate a little time today to so now. I’ve always thought Acclaim were an […] ...To receive more of these posts, you should follow my new blog, over at wordpress, the link is: http://ift.tt/1qcaueN

R.I.P. Robin Williams

I just heard the news about Robin Williams, and I was very shocked about it, I used to watch a load of his films, like Hook, Flubber and Mrs. Doubtfire.

Rant: Checkpoints in Video Games

It’s that time of the month again, where I need to get something off of my (mostly) hairless chest (better there than my head), and this time I am going to be ranting about games that use checkpoint, and use them sparingly, and especially thos who defend it over quicksaves/quickloads.
