Quick, but vitally important post: Proceed to this web page to support a real Star Control 3: That page also has links to all the relevant information about Star Control and Toys for Bob, the creators of Star Control 1&2.
I haven’t posted in 4 months. At least one of those i can blame on March 20th though. To fully understand why, note that an online multiplayer Metroid title came out, and I’ve played it for less than 5 minutes. It was the _3rd_ best game to come out on that day. Read the rest of this entry »

A cool guy I work with picked up a 360 on his way into work today. I will now describe the insanity of trying to get player 2 into PGR.

Welcome to The ExoMajig. For now the site will be very simple. As I add more (any) information, I’ll work out some sort of navigation, categories, that sort of thing. This site will contain a lot of me pointing out how stupid and/or amazing things are, particularly in the arena of games (video, computer, board, card, reindeer, etc) including games themselves, the industry, the people in the industry, people who play the games, and people who don’t play the games. I’m sure I’ll poop on some movies and whatever else too. In addition to Penny Arcadesque posts about things that are in the now, I plan on doing a few articles, features, that sort of thing. There’s a topic I like to launch into all the time about Sonic vs. Banjo (why, from the viewpoint of the actual games involved that Sonic one of the worst designed characters ever while Banjo and Kazooie

exomajig.com/sonicvsbanjo.htm."
I’ve got WordPress going, which is a badass PHP based sitemodon and blogmajig. If you don’t know jack, it’s great. I need to get the colors moved around, but for now, here we are.
