What is the meaning of War? It’s rather cliche to begin a piece of writing by asking the definition of the topic for which the piece is being written, but I really cannot think of any better way to begin this piece.

Wow. Just wow. GG everyone, gg indeed. You bet your ass it’s about damn time!
So, when I woke up this morning, or whatever day it was, that morning, when I woke up then, I’ll tell you want I expected. I expected rain, I expected to have to walk quite a bit, I expected to be running a little late, I expected to play some video games, I expected to read a bit, I even expected to maybe drink a little bit. I expected lightning to strike me and I expected aliens to crash land into our planet and thereby begin an intergalactic war of unending proportions. I did not expect news about StarCraft 2.

SUPER SMASH BROS. … WIIIIIIIIIIIII!!11one
This video is of a very cool animation I saw months ago and still wish to show now.
Btw, much love for Flint from Mother 3.
Super Smash Bros Brawl Animated Trailer
Ok, so it was indeed inevitable. I could not go long without talking about Smash Bros. I mean, really it would be a travesty simply if I didn’t. Let me just say here and now that I love Super Smash Bros. and even moreso Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Now, I could be like every other asshole on the internet and just post craploads of videos of Super Paper Mario to depict how excited I am for this game, but I think I will choose not to. You’re not a dumbass… you know where to go when you want to find videos. I mean, ok, so you’re lazy, and it’d just be way easier if all you had to do was click on a big Play button in the middle of this article, but I’d hope you already had an idea about what you were getting into that it would be a somewhat moot point for me to post a video here. Also, I think that the game is so near release (Tuesday, I believe is the release day), that it’d be a travesty to spoil and thusly partialy ruin what you’ll be getting into, hopefully oh-so soon.

Now, I’m not one to normally fall prank to April Fool’s Jokes but one of them got me pretty good this year. Namely, this year’s STARMAN.NAT (the name I’ve given to the prank pulled by the guys at starmen.net). For those few of you that may not know who starmen.net is, they are a group of individuals who, years ago, started a fan-site for the wonderful game of Earthbound. Starmen.net became the first and largest house of petitions for the release of Earthbound 2 or Earthbound 64 or however it was to be known; essentially, the petition to bring us the sequel to Earthbound.

So, as I was browsing the internet, I came across something rather surprising. The headline read something along the lines of “Kindom Hearts 3 Extended Trailer,” … at first it didn’t hit me; I had to do a double take on what I was seeing. Initially I’d think that something like this I would have already seen, but then, I hadn’t seen anything new for months and I knew it had to be new and amazing cause otherwise it wouldn’t be such a big deal. I figured at first it was a new trailer, but actually it’s what the Japanese players of KH2: Final Mix got to see instead of our lame-ass secret trailer. Well, in any case, we finally have it here now… I found this video on YouTube of both Secret Trailers. Enjoy!
Kingdom Hearts III Extended Trailer
Awesome! I can’t easily put to words how eager I am for KH3; it is easily one of my most anticipated games for the upcoming generation, and nothing will stop me from playing this game the day it comes out. Come hell or high water, or more likely, myself still not owning a PS3 (despite the fact that will no doubt be years from now), I will play this game right away. Heck, I bet there will be midnight lines for this game, and I’ll be waiting in one of them.

What do we as an audience expect from critics; what do we as critics expect from ourselves, when it comes to the concept of an opinion? I personally believe that too often, too much time is spent writing a long and wordy review for the sake of seeming thorough and complete, covering topics that don’t need to be covered only prolonging the time it takes to truly find out what the critic thought of the game in the first place. But perhaps that is what we want, perhaps that is what is to be expected of a general and unbiased review of any game, despite its history or lack thereof.

Writing letters is for chumps. From now on, you make music videos parodying currently popular songs.
Watching that video/listening to the song, I don’t know how you could think anything but the fact that the PS3 is really going down the crapper. I went to Target today and I saw 0 Wiis, 3 360s (2 premium, 1 core), and the PS3 shelf was full…

Uniracers was a game Nintendo came out with for SNES way back in 1994. Perhaps game isn’t the right word. Let’s try underrated masterpiece. The basic concept is that you’re a unicycle that rides around on crazy loopy, twisty, sometimes goopy race tracks. As a unicycle, you are prone to enjoying tricks, and this is where the game kicks into gear. It has the speed and crazy movement of a Sonic game and the intuitive point and style-based trick system of a Tony Hawk game. Thing is, this game came before Tony Hawk. A little ahead of it’s time? Indeed. Read on for the breakdown.

It was only a matter of time before someone totally made some amazing software to take advantage of the Wii’s amazing Internet Browsing capabilities. Whether it be the ability watch/play Flash animations/games, or watch YouTube videos, or just otherwise, browse the web in style, we knew it was coming.
Introducing Wiiminder: Enhanced Wii Browsing
Well, I am happy to point a video to what will otherwise, as far as I know, be the first in this series of innovations. It’s called Wiiminder, and it’s brought to us by Warp Pipe. Warp Pipe, for those of you that may not know, are the guys that, about 3 or 4 years ago, implemented the means of playing otherwise local multiplayer games for the GameCube, such as Mario Kart Double Dash and… games such as Mario Kart: Double Dash available to played online versus other players provided you had an internet connection and a broadband adapter.
