The Miyamoto Confusion

So recently Nintendo was misquoted saying that Shigeru Miyamoto was going to retire from Nintendo.  Like hell that would happen, but it still people into mass confusion.  In the attempt to guess what he would be doing this video was created.  In the event that Miyamoto does leave Nintendo I too hope this is the plan he goes with.

Review - Batman Arkham City

So what would you do if a portion of your home town was seized by the government, walled off, and then turned into a maximum security prison?  Probably not much, you may send a letter to you congressman, maybe join a protest for a while, and eventually go home and eat Cheetos.  Good thing Bruce Wayne is not you.  He actually joins politics to try and get this place taken down.  Bruce does not agree with Arkham City and wants it shut down.  Too bad he gets gets tossed into the place himself as a result of this.  Welcome to the start of Batman Arkham City my friends; the night has started poorly and it is not about to get any better.

Conversations with IrishPride Episode 12

I'm Back!!!
 
Play how you want.
 
Hello everybody and welcome to episode 12 of Conversations with IrishPride.  It's been a strange couple of months for me for me not playing many video games, but I do believe I am back to playing games and it's all thanks to Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.  So for this episode, I'm going to give you my initial impressions to the game that got me back into gaming.
 
I, like many gamers out there, enjoy the open RPG world of the Elder Scrolls series and was eagerly anticipating Skyrim, even in my mode of not wanting to play video games.  Well, the wait is finally over and the wait was well worth it.  I pre-purchased Skyrim via Steam so I could have it pre-installed and I would get a chance to play it at 10pmMST on Thursday 11/10.  I booted up the game last night and was under way.

Review - Rage

You know the recipe; the world has a high level of technology and the world is getting ready to come to an end due to some event (in this case asteroids), so let’s setup a way to save humanity.  In this case they create Arks and place people in cryogenic stasis in them so they will survive the catastrophe.  It seems like an awesome and great plan, so what are the chances that things actually work as planned?  If you are thinking not so well, then you’re right on the mark.  107 years later you wake up and you are the only survivor of your Ark.  The other stasis pods failed and now your fellow Ark mates are dried up husks.  You leave the Ark and walk outside to what should be a nearly deserted world and almost get taken out by a bandit.  You are saved at the last second by Dan Hagar who gives you a crash course in the Wasteland.  The short story is that the world did not go boom, there were survivors, but things have still gone to hell.  There are bandits, mutants (which you can’t loot mostly, bastards) and the Authority.

Why Not the USA?

So Nintendo of Europe made an awesome announcement today.  As of Novmber 25th 2011 you will be able to get a special limited edition The Legend of Zelda 3DS bundle that comes with Ocarina of Time to celebrate 25 years of Zelda.  Here is what it looks like:

So this leaves me with one, and only one question. Are people here in the US going to have to import this thing or will we get it here? As of yet, the import is your only option as there as been no annoucement on a US version. Fingers crossed that we hear something on a US version of this soon. Press release follows.
