Destiny’s Future Gun Adjustments: Balancing The Game Or Making A Cash Grab?

Destiny has had the interwebs in flames today. It wasn’t because of the randomly questionable selection of everybody’s friend Xur, or even Master Rahool’s inability to give you the armor piece you needed from that legendary engram. The culprit was the new Destiny update set to hit gamers in September. Paraphrasing what has many throwing…

The Various Types of Gamers

Note: For the record, some of these terms already exist. This is just my description of these terms. Ah, video games!

An impact so big, they actually created different personalities…

The Death of Split Screen?

Sega Genesis: First Urban Console? (Part 1)

I have a lot to say about this. So get prepared. However, we all know where this will begin. Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, there was a blue hedgehog. Not only was he blue, he was lightning fast. And not only was he fast, he was COOL. His name was…
