It's been a while, but I've had some free time and I plan on using it to its fullest. Fuck studying. MUSIC TIME!
You see right! Perhaps the Pinnacle of video game music. The Playstation! Let's see what treasures I unfold.

Retroulette #34: Adventure
The very best thing about games in the Classic Age of gaming are the straight-to-the-point titles. You could name a game Racing, because there was no confusion yet as to which racing game you're talking about. Racing is the one where you race. If you wanted to play a baseball game, you got Baseball, and if you wanted your child to hate you, you got E.T.
Imagine the same principle applied to today's games. Halo is Alien Shooter, Call of Duty is Foreigner Shooter, Bioshock is Pretentious Shooter, and Katamari Damacy is Acid Trip.
Today's game is Adventure for the Atari 2600, and it is the game where you go on an adventure.

Top Bananas #1 - Douchebags in Video Games.
Videogames share a lot of similarities with real life; there are buildings, shops, hills and trees, currencies, transactions, relationships, and a shit load of guns. There are also douchebags. In real life, douchebags are those asshats that you really want to punch, but can’t. Because rules and stuff. In video games, you can punch them (or at the very least gun them down while laughing maniacally), and it is glorious. However, just as douchebags have permeated, and ruined, every single aspect of real life, they have slimed, swagged, duck-faced, and chest bumped their way into every single pore of the humble video game (please be quiet, games have pores; go do some science and come back when you know what you are talking about). Douchebags have infiltrated games to the point where they are not content with simply being the ‘bad guy,’ the ‘humorous sidekick’ or the ‘love interest’; they have to be the main character; the protagonist, el protagonisto, the big cheese, or at the very least part of a party of player characters. And this sucks.

REVIEW - Bioshock Infinite (PS3/360)
Poor 2K Marin. It was a rather herculean task following 2007's Bioshock, this generation's first bona fide masterpiece, with a sequel. And while Bioshock 2 was a fine game, it never felt like the follow up Bioshock deserved. Now, over 5 years later, Ken Levine's Irrational Games has unleashed unto the world the real Bioshock 2.
With hype so high it's in the clouds, can Infinite possibly make as much of an impact as its much beloved predecessor?
Short answer, mostly yes.
Long answer....

Retroulette #33: Bugs Bunny In: Double Trouble
Those of you born on this side of the Willenium might not recognize Bugs Bunny outside of a few appearances on a lunch box or some shit. Back in the day Bugs was the man. He played ball with Jordan, sang haunting melodies in black-face, and slapped Nazis in drag.
The point is, cartoons used to be fucking cool. Nowadays you're all into the Beyblades and Little Ponies and whatnot. Is Beyblades still a thing?
Actually, I don't know what my point is anymore.
Bugs Bunny game on the Genesis.

I Have To Say Something About The PS4, Right?
So yeah, I'm not going to pretend that anyone who has made it to this corner of the internet doesn't know everything about the PS4 that I do. My only contribution to the discussion can be summed up thusly: Fucking finally.

Headcase: Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Ed takes a trip down memory lane, a trip through more wasted potential, and a trip all over the world fetching little trinkets for a stereotype in a spandex bodysuit in this travel heavy edition of Headcase.

Cold As Balls Game Levels
During the summer, I talked about some hot as hell video game levels in an ill-advised attempt to take my mind off of the hot as hell weather that was at that time deep frying me in my own sweat. Those days are far behind now, and I can only look back fondly on the days when walking outside didn't instantly result in my balls freezing to my leg.
