I do enjoy playing games with others, most importantly family. My little brother and I are separated by an ocean as he’s currently stationed in Aviano, Italy. That means when we get a chance to play games together I dive right in. That being said, I’m definitely an anti-social gamer. I prefer to spend a majority of my time plowing...
You show me yours, and I’ll show you mine
I’m always droning on about how I’ve played this game or that game, but I figured it was time I show some cred. Please keep in mind this does not represent my complete game library as some of the stats offered here aren’t even close to comprehensive. For example, I cannot show you how many toons I’ve leveled across multiple...
The Humble Jumbo Bundle is probably worth it
Who gives a shit if the games included are indie or not? That argument has been pointless for a while now, especially since the scene many would call “indie” has changed. The true definition of an indie game is no longer what it once was. It’s mostly because we’re in a game bubble and shit has just blown out of...
Vulgamification [The Walking Dead and 400 Days]: Not ideal for portable consoles
I originally started playing The Walking Dead on my PC. It’s a fantastic game, if you can really even call it that. Much like Jurassic Park (which was also made by Telltale Games), the only thing you really do is watch cutscenes and interact with various elements. The actions you complete and decisions you make affect the story, but you’re...
Vulgamification [Persona 4 Golden]: What the hell just happened?
I tried playing Persona 3 when I had my PSP running, but I just couldn’t do it. There is way too much dialogue and anime type content for my tastes, and the music- god that music. I have never been able to understand why people love the game so much. Then I decided to pick up a PS Vita. The...
Getting my Vita on
So, I went ahead and bought a PS Vita. I’ve wanted one for a while, but I could never justify dropping the money. Since I have all of my gaming consoles (and desktop) hooked up to my living room TV my play time is pretty much over once my fiance gets home. The Vita will allow me to keep playing...
Vulgamification [State of Decay]: Not your typical zombie game
State of Decay is not a run-of-the-mill survival horror zombie game. To be honest, that’s perfectly fine with me. While I love the Walking Dead and all things zombie (I loved zombies long before that- no bandwagon hopper here), I have to admit that I’m quite zombie-d out. In that regard, I’m over the whole -run around a linear path...
Vulgamification [Darksiders II]: What the first game should have been and more
Darksiders II is a complete amalgamation of everything that the first game should have been. The world is expansive and open, the quests are engaging and fun and the gameplay is refined. One of the most interesting things about the second game is that you can actually outfit your character with different equipment and weapons, ultimately resulting in separate character...
Welp, it’s a crash and burn for the GTA V Online launch
I’m sure most of you know this already, especially since Rockstar released a statement addressing all the issues plaguing the launch of the online mode, but GTA V online isn’t working. Damn it man, that sucks. The list of issues that players may or may not encounter while trying to play include the following: Occasional “Rockstar Cloud Servers Unavailable” error...
Briley’s Weekend Haunts [September 21-22]
Well, I’d say it’s pretty fucking obvious what I’ll be playing for the majority of my weekend. That being said, there will be some other lovely titles sprinkled in there because I tend to get bored if I stick with one game for too long. What can I say, I have a bad case of OCD. I’m pretty sure you...
Grand Theft Auto V features voiceover work from ‘real’ life gang members
Let’s get something straight, the Grand Theft Auto series has never been grounded in true realism. I mean sure, plenty of elements have been borrowed from the real world. In other words, the developers have certainly used realistic influences to create a fictional environment. So, it does come as a bit of a surprise that Rockstar took a more realistic approach...
Steam announces Family Sharing, will allow you to share your PC library
Although it’s not 100% clear how the program will work, Valve just announced a rather promising feature for Steam called Family Sharing. When it finally launches, you will be able to share most of your Steam library with friends and family. That means, anyone with a Steam account will be able to play games from your library, as if they...
