As much as I LOATHE avatars, Miis, and Playstation Home whathaveyous, I am grudgingly resigned to the idea that they are not going anywhere in this generation of platforming (but will be the punchline of this generation). Microsoft has had the most options on fine-tuning your Sim wannabe, with classic clothing choices [...]
Everyone has an origin story, even the greatest of us didn’t come out of the womb fully-formed. There were diapers, history lessons, puberty, and of course, senior yearbook photos.

Does anyone watch MTV anymore? Their one flagship show, The Hills, tanked in ratings last season, and much like the younger generation of today, is a trainwreck of identities, flailing wildly in the cable stratosphere, attempting to find some type of relevancy. Good luck, Alexa Chung.
Anyhow, True Life, the network’s long-running documentary series, [...]
I’m assuming you’ve read my Top 5 Recaps from E3, right? Of course you did, I’m sorry for doubting you.
Another fantastic list, 1UP covers the 5 weirdest things that happened at E3. My fave quote from the article, re: Yoko making an appearance:
