Okay, I know I previously promised my Yammy Awards would be “sometime in the earlier parts of January,” and obviously the earlier parts of January are past. But I still hope to have my video game portions of my Yammy Awards ready by the end of January or beginning of February. Though before that’s done, I should not only have my Top 10 Disney Villains list done, but hopefully reviews for Rayman Origins and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword as well! I will continue my movie reviews afterwards, and hopefully in not too long I’ll have my movie awards done as well. So yeah, there’s some stuff.

First thing’s first, I don’t like GameInformer. They are, perhaps second only to IGN, the epitome of what I don’t like about gaming publications. With that said, even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually, and even GameInformer can do something that has me interested. The most recent example being the awarded 10s to Arkham City and now, Skyward Sword. Read more

I make no secret of my general dislike of gaming websites/magazines and their reviews (with little exceptions), mainly because I think they review games based on a number of bogus notions. Here’s a short list of things that annoy me in video game reviews, with brief intake on why they annoy me. Read more

You know what I’m sick of? People finding any and every excuse to jump up and down on Nintendo’s name.

The shinging example of what I’m talking about is the flak the Wii U is getting, despite the fact that, you know, the console probably won’t even be released until the latter part of 2012. Read more

While I last went to Video Games Live during the second day of E3 back in June, I recently got the urge to write about it. I guess it’s been a while since I last wrote about Video Games Live, so what the heck. Better late than never and all that. Read more

I’ve already wrote a blog about how disgusting and vile I think the trailer for Dead Island was, but with this impossibly moronic piece of rubbish seeing release in just a month, I figured now is a good time to let off some more steam at just how idiotic this worthless game is. Read more

I absolutely love video games. You’ll find very few people who love video games near as much as I do. And yet, it seems in recent years I have had fewer and fewer kind words to say about the medium I love.

Simply put, I find modern gaming boring, tired, and pretentious. Read more

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hates animation. It is a sad fact that is unavoidable. The Academy Awards, for whatever reason, are considered so prestigious by the snobs who dupe themselves into believing so. But they should never be considered so prestigious, as the politics, biases and ignorance of the Academy Awards could not be more apparent. Particularly, the politics they enforce, and the biases and ignorance they have towards animation. Read more

So a trailer has been released for an upcoming video game known as Dead Island. The trailer in question is considered controversial, and the gaming press (and public) seem to be handing out lavish praise to it.

But I feel my thoughts on the trailer can be summed up in one simple word: Pathetic. Read more

The Oscars are a joke. That much has been clear for as long as I can remember. Animated films are treated as kiddy sideshows, timeless classics go ignored, pretentiousness is rewarded, and a bunch of movies no one remembers in two years steal all the awards from impossibly more deserving movies.

I have actually decided to stop watching this idiotic, political circus known as the Academy Awards (I may write a more in-depth blog as to why if I find the time between the other stuff I’m writing), but here I will list 30 reasons why these Oscars alone are simply not worth watching.

Keep in mind that they are just written from the top of my head, but are numbered for the sheer sake of helping me keep track of everything.

So enjoy 30 things that are horribly wrong with this year’s Oscars!
