I had been meaning to pick up Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, but it got hard to find. For a while people were asking outrageous prices. The prices have finally come down. I was considering getting it when a bunch of reviews for Gundam Reborn started showing up. I found it interesting that many of them …

Here’s a little news from the Zen Pinball front. As you may remember, with my transition to PS4, I moved my pinball gaming to the Playstation platform even though I started with Pinball FX on the Xbox 360. One purchase will now get me the PS3, PS4 and PS Vita versions of a table. Of …

I admit that I love the big Steam Sales. I did figure out this year that I could sell all my unneeded trading cards during the sale to help lighten the burden on my wallet. Sure, it only saved me about five bucks, but that’s much better than I did last year when I lost …

It’s hard to believe that we’re already through another E3. That might make more sense for me since I’m also finding it hard to believe that my little baby is about to start walking. It’s amazing how much time flies when you’re always busy. I have gotten a bit more gaming time in. I’ve been …
