The Marvel character Toad

He's not such a terrible Toad after all.

Here’s something that got lost when one of my previous websites went down. And in retrospect that’s a darn bloody shame, seeing the amount of work that went into it. So here I present to you a list of comics featuring the Marvel character Mortimer “Toad” Toynbee, including derivatives, alternate universes and related. read more

11th Anniversary or “this thing is getting too old”

Looking as young as ever!

11 years and counting, that’s how long I’ve been at it with this website. Sure, the name on it has changed since last year and so has the focus. After all: who would nowadays solely be interested in Jazz Jackrealistic flight simulators? I mean… games about rabbits, puh-leaze! If it’s not good enough for CliffyB then I too will ignore this franchise. Surely more money is to be made from big tough man-games than those starring gun-toting mammals, so it only stands to reason that… that… oh, who am I kidding? read more

Tilt head to mimic how you'll be playing Pinball Fantasies on the PSP

Years ago I sat inside at the computer, swapping floppies in order to install and play a few rounds of Pinball Fantasies, courtesy of Digital Illusions CE. Mind you the computer was not my own, it was my uncle’s at who’s house we were celebrating the holidays. At the time I didn’t know that years later I would find myself in a similar predicament around the holidays, though this time through the excellent ports of Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies for the Sony PlayStation Portable by Cowboy Rodeo. read more

Stuff this in your stocking

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave me video games.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave me video games.

The holidays are upon us, oh jolly! Long nights will be spent racking your brain in agony to find the perfect gift for those loved ones, only to have your hopes crushed come Christmas morning when your copy of “Nintendo Wii 2000 Minigame Waggle-thon” is less enthusiastically received than say a box of kittens. Or a cute cuddly puppy. Both which, by the way, make terrible gifts for Christmas or any other holiday for that matter. And don’t even get me started on bunnies as a possibility. No, if only you could have chosen a quality game to give this Christmas, then you would have not had to resort to such an irresponsible gift as a pet and you might have even gotten those otherwise adorable urchins, spouses or other family members off of your back for a while as they would be entranced by the splendour of glowing pixels and the hypnotizing sound waves. Christmas is all about giving so now I’m going to give you some of my personal suggestions for possible gifts which will help keep those video game loving family members pleasantly occupied. read more
