C.O.D.E.
First, Happy Veterans Day.
Yesterday Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released. On the same day a non-profit corp created by Activision/Blizzard donated a heap of cash to a veterans group. It’s called C.O.D.E. - Call of Duty Endowment.
Although it is obvious there is a marketing ploy involved, they didn’t even have to [...]
Star Trek (Rebooted)
I didn’t have great expectations for this film, and was utterly blown away by the SHEER AWESOMENESS OF IT. To be honest, I fought the Trekness through most of my adult life, surrounded by friends who love it, I would spurn it to be contrary. Bear eventually got me to sit and watch Wrath of [...]
Wolverine (the Origins of Aforementioned)
To start, I freely confess to having read only a handful of X-men comics and actually enjoying the third X-men film despite plot decisions even I knew were dumb compared to the comics.
So I went into this film really only expecting to see a good story and a lot of action. I did get a [...]
Re-Makes and “Improvements”?
I have been a gamer for years, and during the dark days when Sonic ruled the industry I turned to the solace of PC games. (Yes, I most certainly did suck at maneuvering said hedgehog). One of my favorite games for probably two years straight was a Lemmings-style scroller game called “Humans”, in which you [...]
Watchmen
I never read this comic, but the previews I saw were intriguing, as well as all the online the to-do about it being an “unfilmable” story. If you haven’t seen it then be warned - the film is three hours long so have dinner beforehand.
To review without providing any film spoilers is difficult, but suffice [...]
Street Fighter Bajillion
The Bear came home a few nights ago with the new Streetfighter. I don’t really like the art style used in the game - it almost seems as if they decided that they had to do it slightly weird to make it seem new. And is it just me, or has Chun Li’s thighs gotten [...]
Blizzard Theme Park?!
So, until the end of March, you have the chance to design your idea of a Blizzard theme park and submit it to the WoW Gods for a chance at a super-sexy Cintiq and some Starcraft II beta keys. All sexy prizes aside, this is an AWESOME moment for me. Can you even imagine the [...]
Valentine’s is a Week Away - Plan for it WoW Style
So, you and your girlfriend are geeky gamers, and we’re all in a recession. Tons of blogs are writing up about “affordable” alternatives to the typical Valentine’s Day shenanigans, so I figured I’d chime in. Forget the fancy night out at the restaurant and the overpriced bouquet of roses.
Go log into Warcraft right now and [...]
Fuzzy Trouble’s Top Three Posts of 2008
I know that all the cool kids made their 2008 “Best of” lists in December, but here at FT we do what we want when we feel like it.
So, with all the appropriate fanfare, we present our top three posts of last year!
According to the all-powerful Google, our most popular post for random web searchers [...]
Saints Row 2 & the Recurrent Freezing Problems
In the spirit of Joining the Thug Life I fired up Saint’s Row 2 tonight, although I never played the first one and haven’t played GTA in years.
THE PROS
I customized my “gangster bitch” to be a cute Asian girl with red & pink pixie hair, and really enjoyed the high level of customization available in [...]
