March 2011

I've been a follower of the Duke Nukem franchise since its 2D, orange-skined days, and the news of Duke Nukem Forever finally reaching our gaming consoles sounds too good to be true. Lo and behold, Duke is here and in the CGI flesh. Has it been worth the thirteen-year wait? In two words: FUCK YES!!!

After spending 90 minutes getting our passes, finding the lanyards and scoping the press room NinJaSistah, Pandalicious and I have finally setting into the recent colonization of PAX East: the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. The lines are long, the funk is red & ripe and the games are in full effect. Also there is a giant inflatable Pikachu in the air. I am in my world!!!

King Baby Duck presents a very special South by Southwest Festival edition of the world's J-POP/Alternative hot spot!

Yet again I stumbled upon another great Bostonian with a lot of talent. Meet Mat the Wad by Matthew Ducharme, a little cartoon series of different scenarios that is deals with the daily life of us all.

Donkey Kong Country remains as one of the best video games ever released by Nintendo. From its addictive gameplay to its (at the time) stellar 3D graphics the adventures of Donkey & Diddy made it impossible to not go back and play it all over again. Near the end of last year Nintendo partnered up with Retro Studios, the same folks that brought us the immortal Metroid Prime series, and together created Donkey Kong Country Returns. Needless to say this was a homecoming celebrated all throughout the world.

Rants and raves galore fill today's episode of the Boston Bastard Brigade, including a call-to-arms for the return of a beloved sports game series.
