I want to preface this post with these two videos: …Let’s be honest: This was what fueled the sharp rise of Hip Hop in the U.S. in the 1980s, the deaths of The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur in the mid-1990s, the industry’s implosion during the mid-2000s and the mostly watered down stuff we […]
Each game in the series follows a very simple formula: When a threat appears, a hero clad in green appears to counter it. That’s it. That’s all you need to know about The Legend of Zelda series. Actually, one other thing: Even though it’s called The Legend of Zelda, it’s really Link’s story. Like the […]
…Right. This is the first of what will probably be a monthly series on the subject of Rap and Hip Hop’s evolution. I’ve thought about doing this for some time and more so after I wrote that blog post on why I never liked BET. I plan to write on this topic through June […]
…I should’ve seen this coming after Pokemon Origins. Here is the trailer: The first two episodes were released today. It will be 18 episodes long and wrap up in December. The short videos are obviously The Pokemon Company’s way of giving those who aren’t as well-versed in Pokemon Lore a reason to buy the video […]
Here we are with the first of many posts this summer on retro games I have played. This post will focus on video game sequels that quickly made folks forget about the original game. I’ll say this now: Putting this list together was made easier by excluding Final Fantasy since each game is its own […]

The original games aka Pokemon Prime were abhorrently unbalanced: Lick (Ghost), Karate Chop (Fighting), Bite (Dark) and Gust (Flying) are Normal Type […]
The games were made available for download at midnight. Yours truly bought all three: Red and Yellow on my Blue 3DS and Blue on my Red 3DS. I plan to finish the Pokedex in Red and Blue before I finish Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. For those waiting for my review, sorry but you’re probably gonna […]
…I considered posting this on both my Anime and Game Blogs but I decided to post it on this one instead as a cautionary tale. Given this year marks the 20th Anniversary of the release of the Pokemon Trading Card Game, it feels fitting. To start, Trading Cards have been around for some time […]
Save the date! Holy crap, I’ll have fun figuring out how to fit all three games on my two 3DS consoles! Not only is the 3DS getting the Pokemon games that started it all, you will be able to battle and trade over local wireless. Based on that alone, I think the original Pokemon games […]
Put on your nostalgia glasses, people: This is old-school Sonic at its finest! 23 years ago, Sega released Sonic the Hedgehog 2. For those who were born in the 2000s and onward, the time period was just after what many gamers call the Golden Age of gaming took off. Those who know their gaming history […]
