Super Mario Marathon For Child's Play Version 2.0
Three gamers, the entire Mario library, and at least 64 hours of dedication, all for the sake of the children. The trio is back again this year broadcasting their Super Mario Marathon live all this weekend via UStream raising money for the Child's Play charity. They will also be having drawings for some Mario swag to give to some lucky viewers.

Twelve Wii Games to Watch Through the Rest of 2009
We’re over a week into July, meaning we’ve passed the half way point for the year already. With E3 and a few solid Wii releases already behind us, we take a look at what’s in store for Wii owners as we approach the holiday season.

What The Conduit’s Multiplayer Needs

kindrik — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:13:49 +0000

Three things stick out at me as sorely missing from The Conduit’s online multiplayer set up. 1. The ability to invite friends into a game. While it might be easy to join a friend that’s already in a game there doesn’t seem to be any way to invite any of your friends into a private match [...]

I feel nothing for BioShock 2

kindrik — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:52:28 +0000

Yeah, I know I said I'd said that I'd write up some E3 thoughts but I feel it's too late for that now. So, moving on, I never really wrote about how I felt about BioShock after completing the game, just about how things were going part way through. To put it frankly, it's one of the best games I've ever played. The gameplay, environments, characters, and story all came together perfectly to make one hell of a video game. That being said, why am I not at all excited for BioShock 2, the sequel to one of my favorite games ever? I've watched the trailers, I've dug through the site reading every bit of information there, and I've read many previews and impressions. Yet I never come away with that feeling of really wanting to play the game.

E3 Thoughts Coming Soon

kindrik — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:48:54 +0000

I really want to let loose some of my thoughts on E3 but I just need to find a good time where I’ll be able to just sit down and write. Right now isn’t one of those times, but expect something in the very near future.

Nintendo? NEVER!
Making fun of Nintendo's saccharin presentation at E3 of user's who play games, Maybe play, and NEVER play.

Pre-Ordered The Conduit

kindrik — Sat, 09 May 2009 06:23:08 +0000

I don’t know if I’ll be getting any pre-order bonuses with it but usually when stuff is announced for the US it’s the same up here. Which is good because I love the special edition box art.

Nintendo’s Completely FUBAR

kindrik — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:58:15 +0000

I guess you could say that I was more than just a little annoyed when I heard that Nintendo was going to be using friend codes with Wii. I simply could not understand how such a large corporation would not be able to see the absurdity of the tedious system they’d just unleashed upon the [...]

More PC Gaming

kindrik — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:46:48 +0000

I’ve caught a PC gaming bug and I just can’t shake it. As soon as my transfer from my bank account to my Paypal clears I’m going to be buying Braid, Half Life, and The Orange Box off of Steam. Something about buying “the best game of all time” just got to me. Left 4 [...]

Suddenly, I’m a PC gamer?

kindrik — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 00:03:14 +0000

Seems like Bioshock was my gateway drug into the world of PC gaming. Steam has become my new best friend and the weekend deals are terrible for a person like me who makes many impulse purchases. Good for me as a gamer, but terrible on my wallet. First thing’s first, Bioshock was phenomenal. While the [...]

Cleaned up sidebar

kindrik — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 05:42:36 +0000

It just hit me how ugly, cluttered, and long the sidebar was so I went and made some changes. The first 3 items remain unchanged. The Twitter feed now only displays 3 items, and it does it in a much neater and condensed way. The Tags heading is now a drop down menu instead one long list, and [...]

BioShocked

kindrik — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 05:17:01 +0000

My laptop got in on Friday evening and I’ve been absolutely loving it. I’m currently trying to figure out what I’m going to do with my old one so if you’ve got a suggestion let me know. One of the first things I did with my new laptop was finally play BioShock. I’d bought it such [...]

Iwata GDC Keynote

kindrik — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:57:28 +0000

Surprisingly, it wasn’t a disappointment. The SD solution was long overdue but still greatly appreciated now that it’s here, VC Arcade is neat, and the new Zelda DS game is nice though I really want a Wii Zelda to be announced some time soon. Let’s see if Kojima has anything to announce, though I feel his [...]
