Maybe three or four years ago, I started to see a new acronym pop up on the Internet: QFT. As I understand it, this stands for ‘Quoted for Truth.’ It gets used when somebody on a forum scoops up another person’s words and re-posts them in order to demonstrate their own agreement. It’s like a [...]
Sometimes, the best games are the ones we make ourselves. That’s the case with mod sensation Brutal Mario, a send-up of Super Mario World that introduces new complications and bosses from all across 16-bit history. Check it out:

Ratchet and Clank were born after the age of the system mascot ended. They knew, perhaps, that they would never ascend to the heights achieved by such giants as Mario, Sonic, or Crash Bandicoot. Still, though, these two fought bravely through the last generation and have survived the jump to new technology. Their newest title [...]

So it’s awful nice of Joystiq to take us through the best of the best in their weekly Wrapup. Readers chose this hilarious strip about Wario as their favorite, and it’s [...]
With Pride and Prejudice and Zombies behind us and big-screen undead culture spoof Zombieland on its way, I think we can be certain that vampires’ dumber, more numerous cousins are finally getting their due. Nowhere is this more apparent in video gaming than in Valve’s Left 4 Dead, a landmark survival-shooter teeming with walking corpses.

Have something to tell someone that can only be said via 8-bit graphics? Your prayers have finally been answered. A brilliant, brilliant man named Zach Beane has created a Mario text generator.

Listen up, whipper-snappers, because today I get to play Old Fogey. Hop on to Uncle Gameology’s knee and he’ll tell you the whole story.
Those of you involved in the current console battle (XBox vs. PS3) understand that a system war can be vicious. But the game industry’s Greatest Generation once fought through a conflict that [...]
Mario is no stranger to holding down more than one job at once. For a guy that trips on mushrooms as often as he does, he’s surprisingly active. One of his more well-known early gigs was as the ref in the NES port of Punch-Out!! However, during Nintendo’s newest Iwata Asks column, [...]
