Just like the title says this weeks Let’s Player Spotlight is on TheBrakAttack! He is a long time member of our community known as Trust, Me I Got This.

JD’s Journey to Pokémon Master: Johto

jdtwins2009 — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:48:50 +0000

Hey hey everyone! Sorry for the delay in this weeks update. It took me a bit longer to make my way through the Ice Path then it should have. I ended up getting swarmed by all the Delibird in the cave. The look in their eyes when they saw all of the prizes I’m making…they [...]

On Local’s Mind: “Pokemon Marathons and Stuff”

localretard — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:02:00 +0000

The marathon is coming up real soon, and we’ve heard some interesting ideas from the community as to stuff we could do during the marathon. We’ve also heard back from quite a few sites in our marketing effort that will be supporting us. There may be a huge event in our future, that involves panels [...]

JD’s Prize Log: Journey to Pokémon Master

jdtwins2009 — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:18:18 +0000

Hey everyone! As most of you know I’m jdtwins2009, the one who made the replica Zelda Chest for the Zelda Marathon back in December.

On Local’s Mind: “…Donkey Kong”

localretard — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:25:22 +0000

I’ve been helping with TSG for 4 years now. Crazy, I know. We’ve come so far from the days of our little blogspot site. It’s nice to reflect and realize you’ve had a ton of fun while also getting to helping people. It hasn’t always been easy; there have definitely been some rough times. I [...]

Games I’m Going To Stab – Silent Hill: Homecoming

Anatotitan — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 07:04:01 +0000

Hello, and welcome to a new feature I’m making up right now, called Games I’m Going To Stab. I doubt this will be a regular thing, but rather articles that I’ll write any time I play a godawful game. Because if you can’t use the internet to post your impotent nerd rage over a silly [...]

Was Operation Rainfall a Success?

Oculin — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 07:38:24 +0000

With the announcement of The Last Story coming to North America, Operation Rainfall’s work appears to be almost done. Their third and final objective is Pandora’s Tower, which is launching in Europe about the same time North Americans will get their hand on Xenoblade Chronicles. On the surface it appears their grass roots movement has [...]

On Local’s Mind: “Powerful Tiny Fists”

localretard — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 23:03:17 +0000

We want to start writing things on the blog that are relevant to TSG and to you guys, our audience/supporters. Why do you usually come to TheSpeedGamers.com? Probably to watch us do silly or, if you’re Baltes, sometimes dangerous things all in the name of charity. When that’s not happening, what reason do you have [...]

The amount of marathons we do each year

Britt — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:49:19 +0000

The amount of marathons we do a year has been a hot topic amongst the community. These last 2 years have been very busy for our personal lives. Many of us have gone through big transitions. Several of us got married, moved, entered and exited college or grad school, got new jobs, ect… All of [...]

Rhythm Heaven Fever Review

Cosmoid — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:55:48 +0000

Rhythm Heaven series is from the small and strange corner of Nintendo responsible for the WarioWare games and other oddities. The series’ roots were on the GBA, but the first on to the western market was the DS sequel. While all three games have a lot in common, Rhythm Heaven Fever feels much more like [...]

The History of Nintendo

GrimsChild — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 18:24:28 +0000

Nintendo (translated as “Leave Luck to Heaven”) is widely regarded as being one of the oldest existing developers of hanafuda cards on the face of the planet. While the company’s interests may have diversified in recent years, they still continue to create new cards on a regular basis and can be purchased from the company’s online [...]

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Review

Dagfari — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:42:33 +0000

30 hour-long tutorial, linear gameplay – it’s safe to say Final Fantasy XIII isn’t going to be fondly remembered by most. Square Enix took the criticism it was force-fed and hid until they produced a sequel. Did they listen to the harsh criticisms, or will they stand stubborn in the face of adversity? Let’s find [...]

Xanadu Next Retrospective

GrimsChild — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:54:31 +0000

Falcom’s works are largely unknown to the masses, despite influencing both Square and Enix into creating role-playing games, creating the first game with a fully developed soundtrack, almost single-handedly inventing the Action RPG genre (and JRPG’s to a lesser extent) and being one of the oldest role-playing game developers in history. While their flagship Ys [...]

Oculin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:17:31 +0000

The PlayStation Vita is right on the horizon. Oculin, Cosmoid, etcspectre, and GrimsChild decided to sit down and look at the Vita’s launch as well as where the 3DS stands today, nearly a year after launch. Apologizes for the quality. There were some issues with the original recording.

Wachenröder Retrospective

GrimsChild — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:58:37 +0000

Normally with these retrospective articles my aim is to provide more information for video games that people may have heard of before. As an example, I doubt a lot of people have played Panzer Dragoon Saga mainly due to rarity. The quality of the game spread by word of mouth and is now considered a [...]
