After couple weeks of slow news and other conversation, this week is chock-a-block full of topics. Let’s get right into it. 1. (-) Used Video Game Sales – We can take this in two chunks. The first part is the flurry of internet chatter that Tycho of Penny-Arcade set off with, among other words, the [...]
Weekend Gaming
August 27th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Gaming
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, but now would be a great time to break your “lurker” status and come out of the wirework and let us know what you’ll be playing this weekend. I like to refer to this weekend as my “most productive weekend ever” because it’s the last [...]

This week has been a little busy around Casa Buttonmashing so there won’t be a Video Game Power Rankings this week. The news was a little slow but things are going to be ramping up very soon and we’ll be back into the swing of things next week.

What’s going on in the world of Video Games and video game blogging? Here’s my observations. 1. (1) Starcraft II – Yep, people are still playing it and talking about it. It’s still going strong. 2.

Video Game Power Rankings #13
August 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Gaming
This week’s power rankings are fairly sparse. Mostly Starcraft 2 and not a whole lot more. 1. (2) Starcraft II It came out and some buttonmashers have already picked it up but the internet can’t stop talking about it. Nat isn’t the only one who felt that the game was “unfinished” in the sense that [...]
