I’m not huge on dropping statistical bombs on our readers, but we just received a message from The Entertainment Software Association that I really have to share with you all. What it boils down to is CHANGE. The whole “us Vs. them” attitude of the past is going away, because, well… almost everyone is now a gamer. Trust me, this is GOOD news.
By now you’ve heard, WOW is going free to play (at least the first twenty levels..). Love it or hate it, World of Warcraft was (and still is) undoubtedly the most popular MMO in history. World of Warcraft was so popular at one point that it boasted an insane 12 million subscribers. That’s 12 million people paying a MONTHLY fee of $15.00. Blizzard and Activison were making so much money that they could probably feed a hungry 3rd world nation sloppy joes on a regular basis (yum).
Finally, after years of putting it off I decided to give Torchlight a try. Six hours later I flopped off the couch in a glazed video-game induced stupor. Torchlight “got” me, I was addicted and I loved it. The good news is Torchlight 2 is on the way very soon and sports a handful of features that will make fans of the original go totally insane over. Here is what we know.
Check out this video done as a tribute to Ryan Dunn by the folks at Dickhouse (Jackass, Wild Boyz etc..)
There is some good news for Voltron fans everywhere! Like a global pandemic, re-launch fever is sweeping the land and Voltron has not escaped its reach. Some remakes will be good, and others will take your childhood memories and poop all over them like a Vietnamese pungi-stick. We just learned that everyone’s favorite transforming-robot-lions will have their very own San Diego Comic Con panel hosted by none other than Carrie Keagan.
Hey there gang! June was a busy month for us here at the site, but we managed to survive. – Take a look at some of our June highlights and prepare for an intense July.
Reviewing Double Fine’s Trenched actually gave me trench foot! Okay, maybe I didn’t actually get trench-foot (which is nothing to joke about), but I did have such an amazing time playing Trenched that I didn’t move away from the television for a few days. If my feet had in fact been soaking in disease infested waters, I for sure WOULD have gotten trench foot, or as I affectionately call it “The Foot”.
Caitlin Crosby is a singer/songwriter/actress who is also happens to be one half of the musical duo Crosby Skills and Nash. Yes you read that correctly, SKILLS and Nash.

A few years ago we missed this very small window that one has to get Comic Con tickets (now hours) and were stuck waiting for extra tickets to become available. With some luck we were still able to attend Comic Con using the very deal they they’re running now. You’re in luck because MOMENTS ago SDCC opened up some more 4 day passes for you to enjoy!
Hey nerds! Just wanted to apologize to you all for the lack of updates on my end of late.
The headline is about as original as the gameplay, but don’t confuse that with the boatloads of fun you’ll have blowing things up as you fight for the survival of humanity on Mars.
I was saddened to hear about Ryan Dunn’s tragic passing. Although I never met him personally, I always felt an odd connection to the CKY/Jackass guys as they’re exactly like the crew I grew up with (minus the fame).
