Final Fantasy Dimensions challenged the way I thought about mobile device purchases, and it did so before I even made the purchase. Even to the point where I might consider it a moral dilemma.  Let me explain: Final Fantasy Dimensions launched initially for iOS; the prologue chapter (about 1-2 hours of gameplay) was free, but [...]

I love stuff like this, mostly because sometimes it inspires people just enough to take a crazy pipe-dream of an idea and run with it. (it worked on me once!) http://johanvinet.tumblr.com/post/23535804010/calvin-and-hobbes-what-the-16-bit-video-game   Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas (or Christmas-like holiday of your choosing) and Happy New Year!

First be amazed: Then, be amazed some more: Super Mario Clone World (Forum Post) The point where technology meets tenacity is always an incredible place to be. This is the kind of stuff I love seeing.

Sure, some of them might just be unsubstantiated rumors but the vast majority of the content on Did You Know Gaming? is verifiable and just plain entertaining to read. This kind of thing is right up my alley, and surprisingly most of these things I did not know already. It seems that my studies have [...]

It may not have a fancy-looking site, but the International Arcade Museum is an amazing place on the internet. They have a growing database of arcade games, pinball machines, slots, music machines, vending machines and more. Gimmick machines and novelty devices from the past galore, most pages with photos.

I had no idea this was a thing at all until Dragonkitty found out about it on Groupon (which is a great site, by the way. As long as you don’t need their customer service; which is terrible.) Anyway, we had the pleasure of attending the symphony last night at the Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix, [...]

Does everyone remember how amazing the Super Mario Crossover was? Well it’s back. It’s improved. And it’s ready to slap you in the face and call you Nancy (or something equally offensive or cliche.) It’s bloody genius. This time we’ve got 10 Nintendo characters, most of them with a counterpart of some kind playing through Mario’s [...]

First, I would like you to watch something: Next, I would like to call your attention to the fact that this is an actual, playable game. Click here for Mari0 That is all. You’re welcome.

If you know who Egoraptor is, chances are you know him from Newgrounds and his “awesome” series of cartoons parodying games like Metal Gear Solid. Some people love him for said cartoons, others think he’s a genius. Regardless of your perception of the AWESOME cartoons, Egoraptor is apparently a very intelligent person, as demonstrated in [...]
