From October 26th (which is now in the past for me) to November 1st, you can get a free table, called Paranormal, for the game Pinball FX2 on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Once the offer is kaput, table’s price will be raised to 240 points. You seem to have to depend on word-of-mouth to know [...]
Hey guys! I guess whoever was “holding” my domain name when I let my registration expire finally gave up the ghost, because I was able to buy it back just a few days ago. As if you haven’t noticed… Well, it just made me happy. Here’s a brief update on my gaming activities of late. [...]
The AVGN recently wrote a blog entry about the bygone era of video rental stores. He invited readers to share their own memories, so I did–and it ended up being long enough to be its own blog post! (I feel kind of bad for co-opting the post like that, but oh well). I was already [...]
Hi folkles! Since last update, I have been contracted by About.com to write articles for their “PSP Games for Kids” sub-specialty. This is pretty awesome news for me, though I was really holding out hope for “DS Games for Kids”. Oh well. I’ll be writing 12 pieces monthly and getting paid decently for it, to [...]
And a Happy 2011 to you, too! I’ll see you there, controller in hand, and videos in tow. HO HO HO! What games are you scoring this year? I’ll be getting Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. Since my brain is pretty saturated and partially-cooked after the first two games, I probably won’t start this [...]
I have been off in wonderful Idaho for the past month, with wonderful Ben. Hooray! Unfortunately I had to come home for an impertinent test — on a Saturday afternoon, no less. Can’t beat a whole month away from home with your sweetie pie, though… unless it was two months. Of course, there was no [...]
Right now, I’m trying to save money for an important trip. Every dollar helps. That means I probably won’t renew the domain name for the site, and just let it default back to problemgamer.wordpress.com (for now). That’s really not so bad. If someone else grabs it from me, I’ll be pissed, sure, but I’ll live. [...]
Well, my domain’s coming up for renewal in 10 days. I plan to keep it. I think I’ll carry on and start trying harder to produce episodes, get myself out of the mud. I’m going to begin work on the next episode shortly, which I know I’ve been saying a long time… but it will [...]
So I beat Mega Man 10 last night. I really adore those games–any given pixel arrangement, any carefully-placed bleep or bloop, can trigger a firestorm of fond associations and transport you instantly back to the heyday of 8-bit. When one plays MM10, it doesn’t seem very long ago that everything seemed so novel, yet simple; [...]
It’s been a month and a half since the new year began, and there’s still been no Problem Gamer. No Gaming Pains. No nothin’, really. Well, I hope before this break is out that I’ll have something to show for it on this site. Y’know, something related to Problem Gamer… like a video. It could [...]
