We’ll get back to history and video games momentarily, but for now I wanted to take a moment to write about one of my new obsessions: Fitocracy.
Growing up, I was actively involved in sports. After the NFL and English Premier League decided not to draft me, I pretty much gave up most physical activity (minus the occasional recreational league) and started my college education. The ironic thing is, I’ve always hated cardio exercises and lifting weights was really boring.
Enter Fitocracy.
Pokemon X & Y has been announced, we say goodbye to THQ, and discuss everything announced at Nintendo Direct 2013.

DLC seems to be a hot topic in gaming these days. At E3 2012, it was probably one of the most used terms at the conference. Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony all have their own ways to provide downloadable content to gamers. Atari had their own way too….back in 1983! It was called GameLine.
IN 1989, Bandai published an NES game titled “Monster Party.” It was a standard platformer and didn’t revolutionize gameplay, but the game was very…strange. There were random disturbing scenes in the game, as well as awkward boss battles. It wasn’t until 2001 that the world discovered the true secret behind this game. Learn more about this unique title on the Nintendo Entertainment System!
Once again, I will be attending the upcoming MAGFest in National Harbor, Maryland, along with the rest of the Retroware TV Crew! This is probably my favorite convention to go to. There are tons of games to play, concerts to attend, and friends to see. Not to mention the many vendors that show up selling retro gaming goodies. I’ll be arriving Thursday and leaving Sunday, so if you see me please don’t hesitate to say hello! I’ll probably be hovering around the Retroware TV booth.
