Exosuits may not big as big and powerful as the mechs of Battletech lore, but they are much faster. Bioware and EA are banking on their new game Anthem and the agility and firepower of their version of exosuits (called javelins) to carry them into the age of MMOARPGs.
I know what you are thinking. From all of the buzz and talk surrounding this game, many will instantly liken the game to Destiny (which is probably what EA wants to compete with) as well as Ubisoft’s The Division. Honestly, this...

This week, I’ve got a fascinating guest post for you from the fantastic Bunneh3000. A fellow author and mega-geek I asked him to write a post about a geek topic of his choice and he picked Battlestar Galactica games that we all want to see. Enjoy!
Battlestar Galactica as a franchise is one that has a healthy cult following spawning from both well received TV series (late ’70s – ‘80s and the 2000s). The basic story follows the space-based remnants of the human race as they flee a cybernetic ra...

Life is so much better with great sound!
Looking through the Edifier speaker selection, there are a ton of different visual and audio styles that seem to fit every economical audio lover’s dreams. There are stylistically outrageous models that look futuristic and there are more traditional bookshelf style models. Here we will look at the Edifier S880DB Bookshelf speakers that are perfect for everyday listening and desktop computer speakers.
Edifier’s website is filled with language that stres...

Many times there are movies and TV shows in the pantheon of geekdom that for many gamers would seem to be a ‘sure thing’ as a video game hit. Many times games are made yet the game is released during a time long after the game’s release. Other times the game accompanies the movie but the quality of the game is unacceptable due to bugs or just plain lack of inspiration. As a fan of sci-fi and fantasy, it is commonplace to see large passionate followings of many of the good and great movies and...

As a gamer parent, I struggle regularly on what my household gaming policies are and will be as they get older. As a father of 5 (3 boys and 2 girls), I always wonder how I should regulate what games they play, when they play, and how long they play. Often times I listen to other podcasts with gamer parents like CheapAssGamer or Married To The Games Podcasts as well to g...

Rockstar Games has once again developed a juggernaut of excellence with their open world western Red Dead Redemption 2. With games of this size, traveling and exploration are a huge part of the gameplay. Within RDR2, your horse facilitates that and so much more. Your horse is your friend, your storage facility, your Uber driver, and your gun fight advantage. Depending on what you are about to encounter, the ‘best horse’ for you could be any one of these three horses.
RDR2 has about 19 differe...

State of Decay 2 is without a doubt right up my alley. My love of strategy, action, and zombies instantly made me fall in love with the first game despite its glaring faults. The sequel is out now and I’ve no choice but to fairly critique the deliver for what it offers and what it does not.
About State of Decay 2
State of Decay 2 at its core is an open world zombie apocalypse survival game that forces you to lead a growing group of survivors to build a defensible base, scavenge, and build a l...

After purchasing a Dreamcade Replay device, you'll need to find a few nostalgic games to upload. Here are 10 of my personal arcade rom classics that you should definitely try out.

As you play State of Decay 2, your communities are going to grow and encounter a host of infestations, hordes, community ally missions, and resource runs. Your survival will primarily depend on how well you build up your home base and what maximum resource storage you have for crafting and facility maintenance. As you might imagine, adding survivors to your ranks means your peeps will eat more of your food and require more medicine to both heal and prevent sickness. No one ever said that bein...

State of Decay 2 does the trick when it comes to looking for a zombie apocalypse sim. The base building, combat, and resource management help it stand out from the pack. Unfortunately, the fun will eventually end and you’ll be on the hunt for more! We’ve got you covered with 10 games that build upon the elements that made SoD2 so much fun!

Being passionate about politics was particularly foreign to me as a kid for quite some time. I would occasionally see talk about presidents and local government races and see that it was important but couldn’t really figure out why. As I prepare to vote this year, it amuses me how I’ve come from not really caring too much about politics to it becoming my number one concern. As I discuss it with my wife, we are both quickly learning that this ra...

Undead Labs basically made a Walking Dead action game without the official license with their 2013 release of State of Decay. Now that they’ve had time to build on their success, State of Decay 2 returns to right the wrongs and fulfill your every generic zombie apocalypse dream…kinda.
Between Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Last of Us, Dead Rising 3, and 7 Days To Die, 2013 was a banner year for zombie games. Aside from maybe another addition to the listing in The Walking Dead by TellTale, each of...

Esteban "Colorwind", B.J. "Bunneh300", and Shawn "Lilbigham" have come together to tackle the interesting and important topics in the world of gaming and geek culture! Come and watch as these well-informed gamers chop it up together!

League of Legends is a wildly successful eSports hit. Hundreds of millions of players leap into Riot Games’ 2009 free-to-play MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) every month now and take on other players for millions of hours of gameplay a year! As a result, if you’ve never played League of Legends (LoL), it can be really intimidating. As an online eSports oriented game, it requires just as much quick reflexes and muscle memory as it does tactics and teamwork. So, if you’re trying to jump ...

The Battletech universe is kind of the hardcore geek level of mech-dom in my opinion. Set in a relatively generic and uninteresting universe, building a casual player following seems to have always been a challenge for their games. Of the history of Battletech games, Mechwarrior 2 and maybe Mechassault (on the Original Xbox) maybe garnered the most popularity thanks to console ports of each. While Harebrained Schemes (of Shadowrun Returns fame) has created the true modern sequel of Mechcomman...
