To begin… Launch Title Embarrassment First off, Nintendo announced to the world today that the Nintendo Switch’s biggest launch title, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (which is also...

PAX East 2016 • Watch This Wednesday

Watch this Wednesday: I’m cringe, apparently

This weeks Watch This Wednesday is a bit more meta than usual. See, a few months ago I got to speak with Major Nelson at PAX East. This wasn’t our first time meeting, I just happened to see him on the sidelines and figured I’d get a good picture. Apparently the internet wasn’t a fan. Check out the video below and you’ll see what I mean. If there’s two things I pride myself on, it’s being a goofball and not caring what others think: this...

Soylent & Me: self control is not my strong suit

I was going through a bit of a change: a new job had me driving an hour each way for training. This wasn’t the worst thing in the world – early mornings were simply made a bit earlier, and late nights a bit later. It’s worth noting this was at Wegmans, a high end grocery store with a cafe inside. Right around this time I was first introduced to Soylent. Soylent, for the uninitiated, is the meal-in-a-bottle food of the future straight out of Silicon Valley...

Microsoft’s E3 Conference Did Not Impress – and that’s a problem

Microsoft just wrapped up their 2016 E3 press conference – what they said would be their biggest event since the launch of the Xbox 360 – and I am sorely unimpressed. What we saw at Microsoft’s conference was cool, sure. Forza Horizons 3 looks beautiful, Gears of War 4 is going to be great, Marcus looks terrifyingly hellish, and all those indie games sure look swell. But our biggest announcements of the day included two new Xbox’s – neither of...
