GameDrunk LIVE!

On occasion, we may begin streaming gameplay sessions or Friday night drunken Rock Band fests. We’ll try to keep you updated on when this will happen, but it will probably be very random so you may just want to check back now and then. The link to the page is located conveniently on the right [...]

Roundtable 5

Dave and Wes once again ramble on incessantly because once we get drunk it’s very difficult to stop us from talking about video games. Even if we don’t really end up saying anything meaningful. At all. Anyway, at least this time we gave you some pictures to look at. Enjoy the randomly placed, gratuitous boob [...]

Welcome to the Next Level

If you lived through it, your life was never the same. The 16-bit Wars scarred those involved. Turned friend against friend, brother against brother. I enlisted early on as a soldier in the Sega Genesis Army and for two good years we were running things. No one could compete – the NES? Please. TurboGrafx-16? Bonk [...]

Why the 3DS Will Be Awesome

This movie requires Flash Player 9 swfobject.embedSWF(“/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/jubblies2.swf”, “swf75891″, “416″, “368″, “9.0.0″, “”, {}, {wmode: “window”, menu: “false”, quality: “high”, bgcolor: “#FFFFFF”}, {}); 3D without glasses that can be turned on/off is 3D that I can get behind. Add in the fact that Nintendo will be revitalizing some great retro games such as Mega Man 2 [...]

Get your new, old school Mega Man fix on the cheap

XBLA’s deal of the week delivers a bounty of Mega-awesomeness this week. Mega Man 10 for 50% off (meaning it will cost you a fiver). There are some other deals too, but they can’t possibly compare to the awesomeness of retro, Mega gaming glory. Links: XBLA Deal of the Week Major Nelson’s deal of the [...]

Video Game Theater: Volume 4

Mega Man 2 Boss Levels With the exciting news circulating that Mega Man 2 is one of several games to be remade on the upcoming 3DS system, I feel it is an appropriate time to take a look back and enjoy what Mega Man 2 had to offer. In my opinion, Mega Man 2 is [...]

Video Game Theater: Volume 3

SNES Favorites The SNES may be the best video gaming console ever created. The quality of the library for the little 16-bit system that could is unmatched. In this iteration of Video Game Theater we examine some of my favorite SNES games… or at least their introduction sequences. Enjoy: Your browser does not support iframes.

“Super Mega Awesome Ultra Nintendo” is more like it…

The SNES remains the pinnacle video game system to many gamers. The memories that are associated with that now-likely-discolored piece of early-90s, 16-bit hardware are so prevalent that remakes and Virtual Console ports are guaranteed money-makers in even a cash-strapped economy such as our own. A lot of folks fortunate enough to have lived through [...]

Top 11 Co-op Games

For me video games have always been a shared experience. Having a younger brother meant always splitting my video game time and we grew up playing the NES and Commodore 64 together which had a limited selection of games featuring co-op or simultaneous play. Games with alternating play (example: Super Mario Bros. series) were alright, [...]

Justify Your Obsession: Video Games as an Investement

I am a collector. I cringe at the thought of ever selling any of my video games, but from time to time, I do enjoy checking eBay, Amazon and a few other sites to determine which games in my collection have generated the highest return on investment. For the purposes of this post, I will [...]

Video Game Theater: Volume 1

Classic NES Intro Sequences In what I hope may become a recurring feature on the site, we present some of our favorite intro sequences from classic NES games. Proving that even without massive storage space and flashy full motion video and millions of colors, you can still spin a compelling yarn. The intro sequence used [...]

Retro Game Coasters

Nothing goes better with video games than drinking.  When you’re drinking and gaming, you will sometimes need to put down your cold beverage to focus on the gaming.  You don’t want your cold beverage sweating all over your yard sale coffee table either so you’ll probably want to set it on a coaster.  If you’re [...]
