  • So, right after my diatribe on why franchise sequels need to stop being made, Nintendo goes and digs at me in the worst way — by announcing a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This leaves me terribly conflicted. In one instant, I’m convinced that <a href="http://www.southerngamer.net/a-link-to-the-further-past/#more-'" class="more-link">more »</a>

  • If I were to write a retrospective of my life as a gamer, there are a few titles that would likely be mentioned more than once: The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Metroid, Final Fantasy, Sonic the Hedgehog, Tomb Raider, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, and Madden, just to name <a href="http://www.southerngamer.net/its-time-to-sink-the-flagships/#more-'" class="more-link">more »</a>

  • So, apparently, the Arena Gaming League is having a tournament today and tomorrow in my fair city, and I had NO IDEA! I probably would have tried to cover it otherwise. Oh well, I can always watch the competition on Twitch (http://www.twitch.tv/ArenaGamingLeague), and you should too!

  • So… sheesh, what about that last post, huh? Pretty bad. Anyway, today I bring you a cool bit of content that showed up on my newsfeed in Facebook.

  • This past week, I had an incredible spring break vacation in Japan. I won’t bore you with the details of my visit, save one. I happened to speak to a friend of mine there who had an ‘in’ at Nintendo, and he, knowing that I run this little blog, got <a href="http://www.southerngamer.net/breaking-new-game-from-miyamoto/#more-'" class="more-link">more »</a>

  • I ate a meal tonight consisting of Doritos, Cheetos, Doughnut sticks, cookies, an unhealthful raisin oatmeal bar, and Coke Zeros. Why in the hell do I generally suppose that I’m even remotely in decent shape or the least bit healthy?

  • Making Playthrough Reviews is quite a process; laborious to say the least. As a matter of fact, I have a months-old Halo 4 review half-edited that I don’t even know that I’ll release now.
