Posted by inpheaux on June 21st, 2007 at 12:21 pm. . . . . What?
No, seriously. What?

Smash Bros. Dojo website launches
Posted by inpheaux on May 22nd, 2007 at 3:00 amFor the past month or so, Nintendo has had a teaser page up at SmashBros.com, telling us amazing new things would be coming. It's up finally, but it's just a bit underwhelming compared to the nuclear strike launched by Blizzard over the weekend.
The new "Smash Bros. Dojo" features - as rumored - updates every weekday [...]
Metapost: Wordpress upgraded to 2.2
Posted by inpheaux on May 21st, 2007 at 12:43 pmYou probably don't care about this, but just to keep you all informed, I wanted to announce that I upgraded Wordpress - the software that makes DPad Go - last night from some ancient version to 2.2, which was released last week. I did some dev-server testing before rolling out to production, and didn't come [...]

EA announces Wing Commander Arena (but don’t get excited)
Posted by inpheaux on February 24th, 2007 at 7:01 amEarlier this week, there were reports that the ESRB had issued a rating for an unexpected title from EA: "Wing Commander Arena". It told us that it was from EA, it had fantasy violence, and it would be on the 360. The internet, of course, exploded with fanboy speculation. Is it going to be a [...]
Gamespot deploys all-360 advertising for their PS3 subsection
Posted by inpheaux on November 30th, 2006 at 6:59 pmSometimes these things just write themselves.
Today, Gamespot unveiled a new overbearing gigantic ad-filled version of one of their pages. This is nothing new, and isn't the punchline. Most of us remember the glory that was McIGN, but I feel this goes a step (or seventeen) too far.
The page in question was their PS3 [...]
Sam & Max’s triumphant return to gaming now available
Posted by inpheaux on October 17th, 2006 at 10:40 amAs promised, the long-awaited new Sam & Max game will be available today. Unfortunately, it's temporarily exclusive to the North-America-Only GameTap subscription gaming service thing. Their exclusivity ends on 1 NOV 2006, when you'll be able to buy the first episode straight from TellTale Games' website. This means you won't be seeing a review of [...]
The Jack Thompson Comedy Tour continues: Bully cleared for release
Posted by inpheaux on October 16th, 2006 at 4:35 pmLast week, our good friend Jack Thompson was cheering and patting himself on the back when he got a Florida appellate court to force Take Two to give them a copy of Bully to review as part of his hilarious several-month crusade against the game.
Well, they did. The Judge watched, and while he wasn't thrilled [...]

Posted by inpheaux on October 12th, 2006 at 11:49 amLast month, we reported that the criticially acclaimed PC platformer Psychonauts would be coming to Steam, Valve's online game delivery service.
Well, it's out now. $19.99 gets you one of the best games I've played in years, and you don't have to leave your house.
Seriously, if you haven't played Psychonauts yet, you now have absolutely no [...]
PS3 gets an upgrade and price drop in Japan
Posted by inpheaux on September 23rd, 2006 at 9:34 pmOh, Sony. Not even out of the gate yet, and you're already having to drop MSRP to make your product relevant.
The Tokyo Game Show took place last week, and during Sony's keynote, Ken Kutaragi dropped two last-minute changes. First item: Upgrade. HDMI is in now, for real, on both models of PS3. No, you probably [...]
