Review – Stranglehold
Ever watched Hard Boiled? I haven't. But while Stranglehold is billed as something of a sequel to that movie, I'm not sure knowledge of its plot is really necessary. Regardless, we all love firefights full of slow motion and rib-breaking dives.

Are Toys More Exciting Than Videogames? – Talking to My Boy About Videogames 14
Jonathan and Ryan react to the latest Nintendo Direct which had a lot of Pokemon news, a lot of Amiibo news, and strangely enough, a lot of Virtual Boy news. Despite the newness of the news though, Jonathan seems to think it was mostly old stuff that’s not new or exciting, but still kinda cool. Jonathan is also incapable of…

Review – Easy Delivery Co.
I love snow. Not a huge fan of winter because it gets really dark really early, but that’s the tradeoff for snow. I love how snow hides things. Heavy snow hides the horizon. Fresh fallen snow hides the sounds of the city. Deep snow is perfect for temporarily hiding bodies. When a winter storm kicks up, I wish it would…

Review – Seek and Destroy (PS2)
Conspiracy Entertainment’s spree of localization of the Choro-Q series is bizarre. Choro-Q is a brand of toy car. In North America, they were sold as Penny Racers, but I honestly don’t remember ever seeing them in my childhood. However, I guess they have some manner of ubiquity in Japan, since there was a series of games based on them until…

Two Kunio-Kun classics are finally being localized for NES by Retro-Bit

This time, they’re bringing over two games that are near and dear to me from the expansive Nekketsu/Kunio-Kun/Downtown/River City series.

Review – No, I’m not a Human
People aren’t my favourite people. Every person brings unnecessary complications into my life, and I’m too empathetic to just focus on myself. So, I’m not the most social person, and neither is the protagonist of No, I’m not a Human. But while I still make connections with others, because that’s life, and you gotta, the protagonist of No, I’m not…

MTV Video Mods – The Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off
This post is a part of the Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off series. In fall of 2004 and spring of 2005, MTV2 aired an animated TV series that paired popular music and videogame characters performing the songs. It didn’t make a lot of sense then and it makes even less sense now, but we’re going to dissect it with our resident MTV…

Review – Normality
If Realms of the Haunting did one great thing, it's that it led me to Normality, another first-person adventure from 1996. Only this one has less shooting and more Corey Feldman, if you want it to. Which is maybe a positive, depending on what you think of Corey Feldman.
