Hey everybody! The guys over at LoadingReadyRun are running their annual Desert Bus for Hope... RIGHT NOW! In essence, they're playing the game Desert Bus for (right now) five days straight and are raising money in an assortment of ways: regular donations, live streaming auctions, donations to have the LRR crew sing or dance or watch New Moon, whatever you can think of. All the money will be donated to Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity at the end of the run. Also, the amount of time pl...

Hello there Pwned Nation. It's most certainly been a while since I've made a splash around these parts. It's certainly been an interesting transition in life, and for better or worse, I've come out of it with a clearer head.Essentially, the major change I had to deal with was with the recent divorce of my parents. For years the road they had gone down, the fights they continually had, the disdain they seemed to have for one another... The signs were there, the red flags had gone up time and aga...

I remember reading an article that was talking about a guy gaming with his kid and gaming like he was five years old all over again. He wasn't trying to play for the win nor was he playing as an uptight and ultra-serious gamer. No, here is this guy playing with his kid, and he's just thoroughly enjoying playing the game and feeling like he was five years old all over again.Maybe it's just me, but it has had me thinking for a while.Was there ever a moment in my life where I played video games ju...

It's certainly been a while Pwned Nation... It's been a while...Long and short, 360's still borked but my friend's 360 has come back in so I'm gaming again, job's non-existent, Valentine's/Birthday Rock Band 2 Jam Session's postponed, even canceled at this point on account of a medical bill draining the party funds like a mofo, and I've been up and down as far as the health goes....aside from that, things couldn't be better. Okay, that's a lie, but I'm just trying to stay optimistic/positive at...

Now that I’ve actually had an extra day’s rest (thank you Labor Day!) as well as my wrist being less sprained (long story for another time), I can get to writing this write-up for my first ever Penny Arcade Expo.Let me just say right now that the Penny Arcade Expo has certainly given me a kick start into the whole convention scene. Just the sheer amount of people that were there, the camaraderie between them and the collective crowd of dual-screen handhelds (with about four or five ...

It really has been a while since I've actually done or said anything here on this here site. For what reason could I give? I honestly don't know. All I know is that I'm not dead yet, so I should swing by here some more. (For some reason, that last line sounds a tad cheesy to me...) ...I guess I digress though. I'm feeling a little hungry, so I guess this extra-long and thought-out blog will be abridged until I feel compelled to elaborate on it a little more. PAX: Going to be a lot of fun, ke...

So, all E3 coverage aside, PAX is coming up next month and, under current circumstances, there's a chance that I may be going. It just really depends on whether or not I can get some money together to at least pay for any one of the days if not for the entire weekend. I've been talking to some of my friends and it sounds like they've got plans on going, and might even book a hotel to stay at for the weekend. If they do that, then I'll at least have an in as far as lodging over the weeken...

Man... It's only now that I truly realize the amount of community-based sites that I'm doing my best (and yet failing epically) to keep up with. That's what happens when you mindlessly sign up for every site that you have an interest in I guess. Can't be helped in that case.Nothing much else new, really. Spent all day today cleaning the house, both inside and out. Also did a massive overhaul of my room so that I can sleep in it as well as have it look a little more "simplistic" (i.e. remove nea...

So this is my first blog here, and I thought I'd put the same thing I've put out on other forums that I'm a part of. This stemmed from a conversation with a friend of mine about a year ago and it was quite an interesting conversation. This is, more or less, a summary of the conversation and it's still a work in progress. In any case, I'd definitely like to hear your input on this and see what you guys think. Note: Please do not take this blog seriously, as this was just mere banter ...
