Bill O'Reilly tries his hand at the hoverbike stage in Battletoads. I think this might be the only time people will ever be able to relate to this man's anger. In fact, I'm quite impressed with how calm he is while playing it.

On Saturday, June 7th 2008 Nem, myself and my neighbor went to the local comic store to check out the release of the highly anticipated/controversial Dungeons and Dragons 4^th edition from Wizards of the Coast. Since Wizards of the Coast bought TSR and revamped the D&D system in edition 3.0 they have constantly sought to simplify and streamline the system to make it more enjoyable to actually play and overall less time consuming. It is this very change that D&D purists are against, yet it proves to be some of the best changes to the system in years.

A quick play through of Contra without the help of the Konami Code. I was almost able to turn this into a no death run, but not quite. The game is still difficult, but if you are careful and hold onto spread, it isn't as hard as you might think. This was one of my favorite games as a kid, so I've always been pretty good at it. On a side note, if you do want to use the konami code, it is ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A Start, with a select before start if you are playing with 2 players.

The Nintendo Entertainment System was home to some of the greatest games of all time. Many of the greatest gaming series of all time, including Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and metroid made their introductions here. However, there were also many games which did not get the attention they deserved. We didn't have the internet back in those days, so word of mouth didn't spread the way it does these days. We'd go by what our friends were playing, or by what Nintendo Power told us to play. Here are 10 games I feel deserve more credit than they received back then

I have become quite a huge fan of Valve's Steam and I get excited every time I see them add a new game to their list. My most recent addition, Trials 2 Second Edition, took me back to my early gaming years with Excitebike.

The original Nintendo Entertainment System had some of the most infuriating games ever made. While some games were better than others, most NES games shared a common theme... Fucking impossible. How many NES games do you remember being easy? Not that many. Hell, the original Mario Brothers and Zelda games were hard as hell. Compare that to this generation and how incredibly easy Mario Galaxy is. Here are the 20 I think are the hardest, along with some honorable mentions, because no list is ever big enough to cover all of them

A complete list of all the new medic achievements recently added by Valve to their game, Team Fortress 2. Also included are the new medic weapons, along with how many achievements are needed for each weapon. Valve apparently plans on doing this for each and every class, but so far just the medic achievements and weapons have been added

Team Fortress 2 continues to make me happier with my purchase every day. Not only did I get an amazing deal with the purchase of The Orange Box, but Team Fortress 2 has been releasing expansion-worthy updates, FOR FREE! They've released new maps and even come out with new weapons and achievements for the medic class. Some insightful people at Dead Workers Party give us a sneak peak at the next class to get some love.

Some hints on how to unlock the bonus content in the new rpg for the ds, The World Ends With You. This is one of the better rpgs I've played in a long time, never mind just the ds. Keep in mind there are spoilers in the article below
