Punk 101: with Zero Punctuation & No More Heroes

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Unlike just about every other videogame blog out there, I have no dedication to quantity.

Halo 3 in church? Too violent to be consistent with Jesus’ teachings (also, Aliens don’t exist, f.y.i.). But Nintendo Wii in a church? Now we’re on to something. Ever the progressives, the Mission Bay Community Church has tried something a tad bit clever to promote their upcoming Easter Sunday service: leveraging the popularity of Nintendo’s […]

Massachusetts eyes games-as-porn bill

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

When not causing mass-hysteria over homemade lite-brites, the local government of Massachusetts likes to do other, more productive things. For example, in an effort to save every child from the increasingly common disease of playing videogames, the Massachusetts legislature is set to consider House Bill 1423, a law which not only would make it illegal […]
