Let's talk about video games for a second. As always, we have tech pundits talking about the end being neigh for video game consoles, which is why this article caught my eye. There is so much wrong with this article that it's almost too easy a
This is more of a public service annoucement than anything else, but Sony just released their version 3.5 update to the PlayStation 4. You can download it now by going to your PS4 and going to Settings>System Software Update and choosing to install the udpate. It only

The store clerk's eyes went wide when I told him I wanted to buy a PlayStation Vita. To his credit, he was very friendly and helpful unlocking a Vita for me and getting me checked out in no time flat. As soon as we started walking over to
I played a few hours of The Witness today and it was amazing. This is definitely a game that some people will love and many others will hate, but I'm strongly in the "love" camp. I don't review a lot of games (the last
I wonder if the Wii U was doomed from the start. The common wisdom is that the Wii U has failed for many reasons: 1. The name was confusing (is it just a Wii add-on?) 2. The tablet controller wasn't compelling 3. It was underpowered compared to the
Oh tech press, how you loved to shit all over the Playstation 4 and Xbox One over the past 3 years. Here's an excerpt from M.G. Siedler's impressions in November 2013: Color me officially bearish about the latest generation of video game consoles. All the
