Now Nora, who is the mother of our older brother Jeff’s two sons, is the Dissenter, as she was born in Tuskegee...Read Full Story

I’m not sure if you have heard the news, but this is downright shocking to me. Sony apparently is charging game publishers 16 cents for every gig we download on the PlayStation Network. So what do I think? I’ll tell you what I think! Here’s another example of Big Dumb Sony trying to nickel-and-dime game that are not out yet.  And for those who think that Sony is just weeding out the breadmakers from the lemons? I think that up for us, the gamers, to decide that. 16 cents a download might be...Read Full Story

After my 9/11 post, I wanted to lighten the mood around here. It is very hard to write that post. 9/11 was truly a tragic day, but life goes on.

Kaz Hirai, the SCEA chairman, is a misguided soul. He still believes that as gamers, we will see the true power of the PS3 in the long run. Hirai went on to state that the Xbox 360 ‘lacked longevity.’ But the bashing continued from there. And with the Xbox - again, I can’t come up with one word to fit.
