Celebrate with Lv42
Yesterday we broke 100,000 hits. Some people might consider it a large number, while others might consider it to be quite small. Regardless, we're very pleased to have reached this milestone. Tomorrow will be our 7-month anniversary, if you will, and in that time we have published nearly 200 features, previews and previews. Our podcast has nearly 7,000 subscribers and we're also about...
I Love my Layton
Since it's release I've been a big fan of the Professor Layton series, in fact, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box was my favorite game of 2009. For those unfamiliar with the series, you play as Professor Layton, a professor (of course) tasked with solving some sort of mystery (it depends on the game). Unlike most other games there is actually no combat, instead you must solve...
Peer into my backyard
So, I fibbed just a bit there – this is actually about 50 feet from my front door, but "Check out the view 50 feet from my front door just around the corner" didn't make for a very good title. Anyways, what you're viewing is one of Japan's finer features: sakura season in full swing – an all too brief 2 weeks full of high spirits and picnicking, and I just happen...
Keeping the Last Window Open
When I wrote up my preview on Cing and Nintendo’s Last Window for the DS, I sort of assumed that I was providing something more of a “glimpse” than a “preview,” since the word “preview” implied that the audience was getting an early look at something that they will eventually be able to take part in. When I wrote the article, and even when we talked about...
Letter From The Editor – “What’s New?”
We’re celebrating! After being around for just over 3 months we’ve just celebrated getting 42,000 hits, as well as being in the top 1 million sites on the web, and with that we’re launching some new features on the site. In my last Letter from the Editor, I mentioned the inclusion of staff Twitter accounts, and as such they can now be found on the About page. We’re also pleased...
Launching New Game+
As members of the games journalism community, we really do a terrible injustice to the brilliant creations that we write about daily which inspired us to get into this field in the first place. We often highlight products for little more than a week (at best), and then toss them aside in the scramble to get on top of the next "big thing." This is our job, and to be honest, we're...
Why the iPad will suck and why the Courier will.. probably suck as well.
So unlike most of Apple's target audience, I know my way around a computer and am completely unwilling to shell out thousands of dollars for one. I've used Macs before and they have their uses, but the day I willingly pay money for one is the day I shove bamboo under my fingernails. And so we move on to Apple's next piece of flashy hardware that I file under 'flashy gimmicks...
Its a Test!
So at some point in the past Michael said blogs would be implemented so he could come and tell people what he was doing. But, I do all of the design on the site, it gets implemented when I remember and / or have the time. So I suppose this is the first inaugural annual perennial half daily blog post by me. Its a pretty boring New Year's Eve for me, considering I'm writing a blog post...
