Gamer Tattoos: Raccoon Mario Edition

Today's gamer tattoo belongs to my friend Rachel. She got hers in March of 2011 from Silver City Tattoo in Poulsbo, Washington. My group of friends and I are fans of Brandon Stewart's work, and he happens to be a gamer himself, so he especially enjoys our requests.  Here's a little bit of information on Rachel's tattoo from the lady herself! "Growing up I played outside or I played my Nintendo. I can't remember most of my childhood friend's...

The Tattoos of a Gamer

Until the age of twenty I constantly swore that I'd never get any tattoos. I insisted there was nothing I liked so much to want it on my body, I couldn't decide where it would go anyway, and there was that crippling hypothetical paranoia that it would turn out poorly. But bring on age twenty, and my best friend and I started talking about getting Triforce tattoos. We had been friends for so long, and we both loved the Legend of Zelda dearly. After...

Colossus External Hard Drive Case is Full of Awesome (And Data)

I have a very special relationship with Shadow of the Colossus. I... have a mental breakdown story surrounding this game that maybe I'll share someday (at least I'm pretty sure I've never shared it here...). It's full of tears, rage, and destruction. Shadow of the Colossus is one of my absolute favorite games, and even though it's fairly well loved I still wish it had more recognition and merchandising. So when my friend showed me this UNbelievable...

Munchkin: Make Your Own Rules and Win.

By now I'm sure the overwhelming majority of people are aware of Munchkin, the "dumbed down" Dungeons and Dragons type card game from Steve Jackson. It's a brilliant little setup that accommodates nearly any number of players and is easy accessible to seasoned gamers and new comers alike. The rules can be a bit confusing at first, but after a few rounds everyone will be on the same page. The original Munchkin game. There are eleven different...

Teasing Information for Fallout 4.

I had a different article all planned out for today, but when I saw this blippit of news regarding Fallout 4 (?!?) I had to switch my plans around a bit. Just need a sec to get my excitement under control. Source. A tweet from voice actor Erik Todd Dellums, or ThreeDog as we know him, hinted at the possibility of doing more work for the Fallout franchise, and, according to this article from gameranx, a fourth installment is in the works which...

8-Bit Fireplace

I found this awesome tutorial over at Our Nerd Home and absolutely had to make it! I would list instructions here, but they outlined it better. You need black foamcore that is the appropriate size for the terrifying gaping fireplace hole that you wish to cover (like I did), a way to cut perfect squares (either a punch or a sliding paper cutter), appropriately (or inappropriately!) colored paper, a glue stick, and a lot of free...

Flashback Gaming: Dragon Court.

It would be easy for me to say that my first foray into the RPG genre happened with Final Fantasy IX, but that'd be dishonest. There's another game that I played frequently, and it came into my life years before Final Fantasy did. The point and click of yore: Dragon Court from Fiends.com When I was in seventh grade or so my friend introduced me to Dragon Court, a java based point and click adventure game. It involved dragon slaying, vagrant...
