It’s been pretty quiet around here lately, for witch I apologize. But, I have a good excuse: I’m preparing to move, and not just down the block. No, my family and I are moving to a whole ‘nother country next week, and I’m frantically trying to close all of my accounts, cancel all of my […]
Here’s a couple of videos I’ve come across lately: Some super alpha handicam vid of Sadness actually running. I think that this footage is legit; that black box on top of the guy’s TV is a Wii dev kit (I used to have the same kind on my desk), and the footage looks like prototype-level […]
I don’t like to post very much about my personal life; this isn’t a personal blog and I’m not really a fan of putting personal information on the internet. But on the other hand, I suppose that my thoughts might be more interesting to read if I talk a little more about myself. Plus, I […]
A while back I posted a short and completely off-topic piece about wireless headphones. Basically, good wireless headphones are not cheap, and though there are pretty good alternatives, some of them (like the Sony IR headphones I ended up buying) get interference from plasma TVs (hooray!). Despite the color-induced static, I toughed it out with […]
Another year, another fake front page. I spent some time on this one; all of the text in the “Did you know..”. and “In the news” sections is real. The page will be archived here for posterity. If you are new to the site, you might also be interested in fake front pages from previous […]
If you read German and have access to magazines from that country, the latest issue of GEE contains an article on horror games with references to yours truly. I spoke with the author at GEE while in Japan last month, and though I’ve not actually seen the article yet, Michael from frightening tells me that […]
Sony’s Playstation Portable is not a bad machine. Though the screen can blur a bit it otherwise looks very nice, and the UI for the main system is well done. I’m not a huge fan of the analog nub but it’s not a deal breaker for me, and while the battery life may be pretty […]
The setup: I have a newborn who sleeps every evening by 9 PM. I enjoy horror games and films, but my wife isn’t such a fan. I have one of those TVs where the volume goes from “inaudibly quiet” to “loud enough to wake the house up” in a single click. I’d like to stay […]
Happy Holidays, folks. 2008 is on its way and it should be a pretty good time for us horror gamers, so we have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas season. Hope that you guys are spending the holiday curled up with a scary game. Remember to turn out all the lights (except those […]
I know that I can be pretty harsh when it comes to bad games. I mean, this is a research blog and I am interested in why bad games are bad, but I’m also a gamer, and being frustrated by a bad game that I’m playing for research is just as annoying as when it’s […]
