Kojima and Sony sitting in a tree, G-A-M-I-N-G.

Hideo Kojima has announced a partnership with Sony Playstation!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

In the middle of Sony's E3 stage show waving and smiling. He created his own video game production company after his fallout with Konami and Sony Playstation is the first public partnership that we, the fans, have been privy to! So, naturally, as he walked out he was greeted with applause, oohs, aahs, and the occasional weeping fan!

In a private, secluded room behind Sony's E3 stage Kojima shared his thoughts on his unfortunate past and how things are going for him now:

"Last year I had some difficult circumstances and my family was telling me: you're old, you should retire now and take it easy. Fortunately a lot of fans around the world are waiting for my games so I decided I wanted to keep making games. I established my own company and within two-and-a-half months we were able to make a teaser and deliver something to the people, finally.

"And seeing the reaction of the people - most people seemed to like it - made me feel really good that I made the right choice. My decision was correct."

If you are unfamiliar with the trailer that he is referring to, here it is:



Cool, right?
In sort of a creepy, strange, I-Never-Want-To-See-That-Again-But-Play-It-On-Repeat kind of way.

Yes, you are correct, that is The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus.




Here he is seen in much the same position as our beloved Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) was not too long ago! We have so many wonderful people coming to phenomenal games thanks to this awesome technology! Now all we need is a Supernatural game with our ladyboners Jensen, Jared, and Misha!

So, xbox fans, I am sorry to say that it does not look like Kojima games will be coming to you YET.
Here's to hoping that they come out on PC and Xbox soon, too!

Here's the Sony and Kojima announcement video!
Enjoy, my friends!

SmartBoy Is Smart!

For those of us that use emulators on our phones we have all run into the irritation of the buttons sometimes not responding to touch, or the buttons getting in the way of the screen and interfering with the actual gameplay.

(Yes, DS emulator, this is why I don't like you.)
Enter developer, Hyperkin!  They have created an attachment for your phone called the Smart Boy. It is currently only compatible with iPhone 6 Plus, but that will soon change.  What the devise does is attaches to your phone and turns it into a Gameboy Handheld System, complete with a game cartridge slot!

All I can say as a fan of hand held gaming and gaming on the go, this is AMAZING. My only concern is how quickly will this devise drain our phone’s battery? I’m sure that is something that has been addressed by the designers, and I for one am very excited about this attachment!

Want to buy one for yourself? You can totally do that HERE!!

Sun's up, guns up!

Happy summer solstice, everyone!

Today, June 20, marks the summer solstice, first day of summer, and the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

While it's not all smiles and rainbows for people like us in Arizona (over 100 degrees at night, are you kidding me??) Air Conditioning is a thing that exists.
