Killer Instinct - Review (Xbox One)
In the mid 1990’s, Mortal Kombat was huge, Street Fighter
was pretty much just as huge and Killer Instinct was the new kid who sought to
meld the two franchises into one unique fighting game. Though its time on the
gaming scene was short, KI has been a much loved franchise and fans have
clamored for a sequel since 1996’s KI2.
Originally published by Nintendo (developed by Rare, makers of the Donkey Kong Country franchise) in 1994, the rights to the Killer Instinct brand were acquired by Microsoft Studios when the company bought Rare back in 2002. For years, many KI fans hoped for a new sequel in the franchise and were hyped beyond belief when one was finally announced in 2013 as an Xbox One exclusive developed by Double Helix Games.
How have the 17 years between KI2 and the new game treated the franchise? Find out after the jump!

Xbox One - Console Review
The final next-gen console has been released and I spent
almost the entire weekend playing it. Is the Xbox One good? Did mine actually
work? What about that $500 down payment? My review is after the jump!

Playstation 4 - Console Review
Back in August (I think), I preordered both of the new
“next-gen” consoles. I did so partially as a collector, and also to bring those
of you that read this site a completely unbiased, fan-boy-free lookover of what
they had to offer. This Friday marked the release of Sony’s Playstation 4, but
how does it perform? Is the $399 price tag justifiable?

Josh's Adventures As a DM - Episode 1: The Fun & Freedom of D&D
This will be a new article series in which I chronicle some of the things going on in my current big interest, Dungeons & Dragons, and my experiences as a VERY new Dungeon Master (or, DM). When people think of D&D, they get the mental picture of huge, loser-nerds talking in accents while rolling dice. Well… That happens. But in all fairness, those are the people with imaginations. Personally, I just enjoy creating a story for my players to experience; and the best thing about it? Anyone can do it!

Nic's ID Journal - #1 - Nov 7, 2013 - TV shows
Here it is, the first installment in my Inner Dorkdom journal. Prepare to be amazed. Or marginally distracted from boredom.
Much like with Josh, my aim here is simply to share with the four of you the things I'm currently enjoying from the world of dorkiness. These days, with a wonderful wife, inquisitive energetic two-and-a-half-year old, and a full-time job, free time is harder to come by than it used to be. But even so, I've managed to squeeze some dorkiness into my days.
Today's journal is going to, just because it happens to, focus mainly on TV shows that I've been enjoying. Some newer, some older.
