Ass Effect

March 29th, 2012 | by Luis

Not the most original title. This is in response to, in our humble opinion, all those out there who whined their way to making Bioware cave in and giving them what they want. At least, that’s how they see it now. We’re going to laugh so hard when Bioware gives us an even worse ending than the saving grace the Mass Effect fan community is expecting.

As you can see, updates are still intermittent. Home life still taking control, and it may be like this through out the rest of the year. Needless to say, I’m not thrilled about this turn of events, but we’ll try to get one out as best as we can for you all to enjoy.

Wrathy Christmas

January 29th, 2012 | by Luis

Hopefully this is the start of a return to our regularly scheduled updates, which is every Sunday. I know I sound like a broken record, but I must apologize. Full time job + taking care of business at home = very time consuming. Not to mention that my job revolves around having some sort of game knowledge and all that extra time must be chosen between gaming for pleasure/work or drawing for the website which also requires knowledge of games and… well, you can see where I hit the brickwall.

Anyway, as you can see by today’s comic, we’re excited for Asura’s Wrath. We also expect a nice check from GameStop. Though admittedly, we’re a tiny bit worried after experiencing the demo. Something about it felt… off. Marcos and I understand that it is obviously a very early build that was created with the mind of letting the public get their hands on it. At the same time it felt a little loose, and a little bit like it was taking your hand. Not sure if this was just the default difficulty of the demo in order for players to enjoy and get an idea of what they’re getting into for the final product, or if it’s the idea of the game. I guess time will tell as we’re still excited for the game, regardless of the fact. Let’s hope our gut feelings aren’t wrong.

As for the Checkies, which we handed out last year, we still plan on doing it again. They will be a little late. We’ll see for when, but we’re excited to let you know what two gamer-centric regular dudes thought the best of the best were for the game-filled year that was 2011. So get our RSS feed and keep an eye out for that!

A Merry One To You

December 24th, 2011 | by Luis

From the quick get away I can get from work, I would like to wish every one of our fans who are still sticking around a Merry Christmas, a happy-fill-in-the-blank, and to my scrooge friends and fans, a very merry humbug to you all!

It’s-a me, Mario Kart 7!

December 2nd, 2011 | by Marcos

 

I just got my copy of Mario Kart 7 tonight. I haven’t been this pumped for a Mario Kart game since Mario Kart 64. Everything I have read/seen on the game so far has looked excellent. Everything from the customization to the Online Network looks very solid. I also love how Nintendo is trying to create an ACTUAL community with this title (It’s about time!). Well enough chit chat from me, its time to hit the Circuits!

Expect some first impressions from me sometime tomorrow.

Changes

December 2nd, 2011 | by Luis

Life! New comic! Though it’s not really funny… but go read it! That’s my situation! HOORAY FOR REAL LIFE SINKING INTO WORK! Woohoo! So changes have to happen around here. Mainly getting my ass in gear. BUT that’s neither here nor there. If you didn’t notice, the comic is no longer the main thing showing up top. Now there’s a little button to the left with a tiny thumbnail that says NEW COMIC! Click on it. It was a last ditch effort on Marcos’ side to keep the site running, and I have to admit it was a great idea with the way the site runs. Expect more content down the line and not just in form of the comic. We promise.

First, however, I’d like to apologize to the readers for at least not getting back to you. I have had bad luck with this wonderful website of ours in the past. Since I ended up falling behind again, I get really shamed of myself for “quitting” when I still have the want for this. Case in point, I’m not quitting, it’s just really hard when you have a full time job and a wife to be with. It’s also harder when this full time job involves selling video games with 52+ hours a week, then you want to come home and talk about the games you’ve yet had a chance to play. And by the time you do play it, the new ones out, so now it’s old hat, and ARRGH. It gets really hard to keep up with life and the site, as much as I love it.

From now on, around September or October’s time, I think I will put the site on official hiatus until mid January or so, where my job usually paces down. I’ll upload just single images of Luis or Marcos doing wacky things or being awesome. I dunno. But I will keep that promise and keep the site running strong.

Secondly, apologizing to my best friend Marcos, for practically keeping him in the dark on my fears of the site. It’s a team thing, and I guess I really did think that an “I” was somewhere in there. Boy was I dumb.
