I spent the day gaming.  It was nice to say “screw it” to everything important and just take a little time to do whatever I wanted.  I shut my door, grabbed a diet coke (read: 12), and just played some games. To echo Graev’s impressions yesterday, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North [...]

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North hasn’t been getting the press it deserves.  This month’s release list has really overshadowed this hack and slash game action rpg.  I feel like War in the North is getting written off.  IGN gave it a 7, but it’s not a 7 game — it’s better [...]

Richard Garriott is often treated like a fly who won’t stop buzzing around your ear.  The MMO community as a whole can’t stand the guy because he, much like Richard Bartle (maybe it’s the name Richard?), seemingly can’t refrain from making comments that cause people to cringe and then verbally retaliate.  Well, he’s buzzing again. [...]

It’s Halloween already.  It’s not as much fun when the day surprises you, but that’s what happens when you’re more busy with school or work and less with the holidays.  I (Keen) was in a Finance class trying to fall asleep when someone walked by in a princess costume.  I looked around and realized about [...]

Graev showed me this picture last night.  It perfectly shows how the minimap in Battlefield games has regressed over the years.  Since the first battlefield game, minimaps have been getting progressively worse, save for maybe some redeeming qualities in BF2′s. (Click to enlarge) Interestingly, this picture represents, to me, more than just how minimaps have [...]

My friends, guild members, and even complete strangers, ask me all the time what headset they should buy. Nothing is more important than a comfortable headset — nothing!  I’ve decided to write a quick blog post so that I will always have something to link back to with pictures, descriptions, my personal thoughts, and where [...]

We thought it was pretty cool when D&D went from being pen and paper only to being represented in video games.  It was even cooler when we saw D&D being played on a Microsoft Surface, but the details of how accessible to the public those inevitably expensive table-like-devices will be is still unknown.  What about [...]

I was watching my twitter feed a few minutes ago and the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning team (@ReckoningGame) (or whoever tweets for them) linked their followers to a video that was posted only minutes ago.  Normally I don’t just link to these promotional videos without a reason and I see no reason to stray from [...]

Today is a streaming day!  We’ll be streaming Battlefield 3 and Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure all day. You can visit our new Streaming Page, watch the videos here on the front page of our blog, or head over to our Twitch.tv/keenandgraev channel. BF3 just launched today and is already showing us why it’s the best shooter [...]

So many of you responded to our survey from last Tuesday that SurveyMonkey wants us to pay them money to see more results!  Thanks to all of you who filled it out. The results were interesting.  A quick rundown: You guys want to watch us stream SWTOR and Skyrim ASAP.  You even wrote in Skyrim [...]

It’s Blizzcon time again.  Time to be reminded of my weak resolve, get hyped, and agonize over a wait that will surely feel infinite. Mists of Pandaria was confirmed, as if it wasn’t already.  I am done with WoW.  I swear, I am.  Really.  I mean it.  Yet… Panda… Monk…want… No, I’m done.  Maybe it [...]

The moderately publicized embargo placed on some well-known media sites, who were given a chance to try the very early gameplay of SWTOR, has been lifted.  These sites are all giving their thoughts on the game’s early levels based on an early version of the game.  Take that for what it’s worth.  I’m in the SWTOR [...]

We just finished a 2 hour session of Dungeon Defenders! It was the first time playing for all of us and we had a blast with the game. Dungeon Defenders came out today and you can get it on the Xbox 360 or on Steam. Positives: Gameplay is smooth. graphics are sexy In-game shop (in-game [...]

It’s horrifying and inspiring at the same time to read that Angry Birds is topping charts even on the Playstation Network.  It’s horrifying because, of all the games out there on the PSN, a game first made for mobile devices that features birds being flung at objects beats out games like Battlefield 1943 (not that [...]
