October 31, 2011: wallet threat level green
Nathan Drake is back in what is, so far, the weakest Uncharted of them all. More on that later, but as of about two-thirds through the campaign, it’s not looking good. If you’ve only got an Xbox 360 or PS3, … Continue reading
Qt3 Movie Podcast: The Rum Diary
This week we’re underwhelmed by The Rum Diary, which is the prequel to Hunter S. Thompson, directed by the guy who did Withnail & I. But first, we make up for our week off with a recap session to briefly … Continue reading
1 day to Halloween: Monster House
So you might not think to look to children’s fare to find good examples of horror. And you certainly wouldn’t expect much from a cartoon, for Pete’s sake. Especially one with Spielberg and Zemeckis’ names on it. But if this … Continue reading
2 days to Halloween: The Haunting
My esteemed colleague and fancy-pants film auteur, Tom Chick, likes to make fun of me for liking grandpa movies. I admit I like a lot of black and white movies, especially horror. Well, let me rephrase that. I like black … Continue reading
Interstellar trick or treating in Space Pirates and Zombies
I don’t want to embarrass anyone who may or may not be the online gaming service OnLive, but I noticed a recent Halloween related press release missing the point of trick-or-treating. The company promised “All Tricks No Treats With [insert … Continue reading
Your Daily McMaster: the McMaster fright night terror extravaganza
Though Halloween isn’t until Monday, a large portion of the holiday will be celebrated this weekend. For those who don’t have children or are lacking a slutty kitty cat costume, the night might be less exciting. That’s why I want … Continue reading
3 Days to Halloween: Parasomnia
You’d think a guy looking for some stupid so-bad-it’s-good horror could rely upon a movie titled Parasomnia to deliver. But no. Parasomnia has to go and betray me and be good. Thanks a lot, William Malone. You ruined my evening. … Continue reading
Qt3 Games Podcast: what a pair!
Apparently, working for NASA isn’t rocket science. Take it from Rob, a.k.a. Manresa, who works for NASA but doesn’t even know how to say his own username. But if you want to know what natural disaster is coolest to watch … Continue reading
Weekly Little Big Planet: timing is everything
A quick bit of advice. If you’re interested in playing a neat little Halloween-themed community level and you decide to give this week’s featured level, Halloween [Silhouette Platformer], a spin, crank down the volume on your television and put on … Continue reading
4 days to Halloween: The Uninvited
(Kelly Wand and some other folks will help close out the Halloween series. And please remember that these aren’t necessarily great movies. We endorse them only as relatively obscure horror movies with something to recommend them.) 2008′s “The Uninvited,” directed … Continue reading
5 days to Halloween: The Cottage
If you’re watching The Cottage without having read anything about it (this excepted, of course), you might not realize you’re watching a horror film. In fact, you might be put in mind of a certain Mark Twain story. Which is … Continue reading
Kirby will eff you up
I did not write the following article, which is a grossly inappropriate way to cover a charming Nintendo title like Kirby’s Return to Dream Land. Instead, it was written by my potty mouthed twin brother, who asked me to post … Continue reading
What’s in a name? The best and worst titles of 2011
Not the actual games, of course. That will have to wait. This is just the titles of the games. After the jump, the best and worst of 2011
6 days to Halloween: Ghostwatch
I’m not sure whether Orson Welles’ 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds is the first mockumentary, but it’s probably the first notable one for how it freaked out so many listeners. They weren’t yet accustomed to the wide … Continue reading
Your Daily McMaster: I will draw the chart
I recently moved from my house to an apartment. During this move, we had to throw away a lot of clutter, some of it dating back to my childhood. One particular box held many of my old PC game boxes. … Continue reading
