A bunch of years ago (seriously, like 50 billion in dog years or something) I wrote a piece on what Final Fantasy VII is a dumb game for stupidheads right before E3. This year, right before E3, I am ...
After the past couple of videos we’ve produced at 1UP, I’m wondering if maybe I’m better suited for writing stupid skits about video games than actually writing meaningful content a...
I made Cat watch Ghostbusters for the first time last night. She seemed amused but didn’t love it quite as much as I feel is appropriate — I mean, come on, it’s one of the funniest ...
Hey kids, it’s finally another Mad Men post. Oh, you don’t care? Ah well. Last night’s episode broke the rules of television. They’re not supposed to radically change the stat...
Some will win Some will lose Some are born to sing the blues BURMA SHAVE
I never played Eternal Sonata beyond a few demo sessions before it launched, so I don’t have an opinion on the game one way or another (though the graphics are as nice as the character designs ...
Now Cat is watching The Proposal. After last night’s Wolverine viewing, I’m getting a little worried that she has some kind of stalker-obsession with Ryan Reynolds. She denies it, though....
Cat was half-watching Wolverine: Origins on TV earlier, and I had a strange realization: I don’t hate it. From what I can gather, that makes me a unique snowflake on the Internet. I don’t...
And hey, we’re back to GameSpite Journal 11. Remember that one? The one where writers revisited games they’d shared a rocky relationship with in the past and gave them a second chance? Ye...
A couple months of planning and development finally came to fruition today as we shifted the content focus of 1UP to a feature-driven structure based largely around weekly themes and topics. I wish w...
I lose track of actual seasons living in San Francisco, a city defined by micro-climates that have nothing whatsoever to do with weather patterns anywhere on the planet. Bitter cold average temperatu...
Hello. I am back from Santa Monica, which means I might actually be able to post things here again. Between horrible Dreamhost service and my week-long absence, this past month has really undermined ...
For your amusement: “Theme One”/”A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers Pt. 1″: A video wherein Van Der Graaf Generator rocks out to their own rendition of the BBC One theme before pe...
Guys, I slipped out of our week-long screenings just long enough to post this piece of content. Don’t tell anyone. Everything I’ve seen this week is under embargo, but I am allowed to say...
“I don’t understand why no one is buying our new Super NES game, Harvest Moon.” “Well, it is a sort of kids-looking game.” “Yeah, I don’t know….”...
I need to get over my weird apathy for emulated games. I loved (LOVED) SoulBlazer, and Illusion of Gaia was pretty great, too! So why have I not played Terranigma, their Europe-only sequel? I think i...
My Protestant guilt is kicking in about this site. It’s not my fault my webhost crapped the bed for a few days, but man, that outage really threw me off my stride. And Sunday morning I head dow...
We’ve been trying to figure out this whole “video” thing ever since the 1UP Show was cut down in its prime. Live streams, game nights, daily news shows, static talking head videos, ...
The Super NES era consistently caught me by surprise. Secret of Mana was amazing! Super Metroid somehow managed to exist without my knowing about it until after launch! But perhaps most startling of ...
Pardon the brevity of posts for the next, I dunno, forever. I’m slowly trickling content over to a new web host, but I’m pretty sure the entire purpose of the Internet these days is to in...
The site’s back, finally. Sorry for the downtime — it was out of my hands. The site will be a little less active than usual until I can move to a host that isn’t terrible. I am done...
Did you know that when you do an image search for Kirby Super Star, you get a lot of results that involve Imperial Super Star Destroyers? I can’t even begin to imagine what Kirby would morph in...
Hey gang, we’re almost done with GameSpite Journal 10 posts! Then you’ll be forced to read about things that aren’t Super NES games. My sympathies. I guess you’ll just have to...
Here in the back pages of GameSpite Journal 10, we’re in frightful late-Super-NES-era territory, where content is more often than not Japan-exclusive. So many complicated pictographic symbols t...
Look, the image above isn’t Radical Dreamers. So far as I can tell, there is no art for Radical Dreamers on the planet. It just sort of, y’know, showed up one day on the Satellaview servi...
You know, I’m honestly not that big a fan of Super Mario RPG. Nevertheless, this write-up is pretty positive, and I’m actually quite proud of it. Maybe I’m just stoned out of my min...
Hey kids, we’re in the final stretch of GameSpite Journal 10, which means we’re in the final stretch of the Super NES library. That weird time of transition where developers were making s...
Hey, jerks, thanks for not buying this game when it came out on DS, or its sequel on Wii, even though they’re both really great. Now we’ll never see another legitimate English release of ...
My goodness. Two articles about different Relic-developed PC strategy games for Windows appearing within the span of a week? First Company of Heroes, now Dawn of War II. Man. I may need to go have a ...
