So the only thing I can say gaming wise is that I only got a bit further in Ghost Trick. All I have to say is I may be cheap when it comes to electricity, but not as cheap as these cops; if that's confusing, it's cause I don't want to spoil anything.

This year, I had my Golden Birthday. I turned 23 on March 23, 2013. At first, it seemed like anything but golden, but the pain in the ass that was this year ultimately made me a stronger person. Here are 23 things I will remember about 2013, some more important than others, all tying into a central theme relating to a certain video game I played recently that has inspired me a great deal. Hope you enjoy!

So one of my all time favorite shows is ending tonight for good: Futurama. I'm really happy with what we got when it came back on. It wasn't quite up to par with what the show was originally like, but it was still one of the better things on television and did a much better job staying funny than The Simpsons, Family Guy, and even South Park have these past few years. There were still some really great episodes and a funny recurring gag where the season finale would always be three weird stories ending with everyone dying. But here's my favorite episodes from this show, the ones that got me hooked on it.

In business for almost twenty years, Spiderweb Software is still going strong. In honor of this milestone, they have answered some of our questions about game development, and what it's like to be indie.

With over two decades of experience making games and a record of being independent before indie games were a trend in the gaming world, Spiderweb Software is the hardcore for the hardcore.  Makers of such classic series as Geneforge, Avernum, and now Avadon, the company focuses on old school RPG experiences that most publishers and developers have abandoned..  While they primarily focus on the PC and Mac platforms, they recently experimented with mobile development, releasing Avadon and Avernum to iOS and Android with stunning success.  It seems classic games are classic no matter what system they’re played on.

I just deleted a handful of paragraphs I had typed because I found them boring and was only typing them to get myself in a rythm that would put me to sleep, not thinking about the fact that would also put you guys to sleep with how dull it was.

War transforms us, Snake. Into beasts.

A certain inability to walk into a normal life pervades the player’s thirst for playful violence after taking down the Patriots in the Metal Gear series. The Winds of Destruction will have to fill that void. Some, like Sundowner, claim we surround the Self with violence, because of the feeling instilled when you kill your enemies and liberate the less fortunate and able. Others maintain that we argue philosophy as a way of waking up the beast inside of the Self. Regardless of the means, these musings have persisted through the Metal Gear franchise from the beginning. With Metal Gear Rising, they mesh high and low culture together in allusions that complicate our reason for loving to play.

There is another website I visit and a couple of the notable people there (the administrator and the tech guy) are very disappointed that Sony will not be bringing in new technology for the PS4. It will be made of PC parts and will have little proprietary material inside it.

Already own FIFA 13 on another platform? Think twice about picking up this version.

FIFA 13 for the Wii U isn’t really FIFA 13.  Sure, there’s a big “13” emblazoned right there on the box, and the rosters are all updated from last year, but those changes don’t really make it a new game.  The FIFA 13 that gamers have been enjoying on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is decidedly different from the game that has shown up on the Wii U; a game that is seemingly behind the times.  At its very core, this is FIFA 12 – a good game to be sure - but a step behind the other versions that have been out for months.
