We know a lot of things about the newest installment in the Final Fantasy series, and we know that not everyone is happy about it, but there is one thing we can agree on: the beautiful girls Square-Enix always delivers! My question to you is, who is hotter, Lightning or Vanille? More »

It seems our fears have come true and the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will indeed be a crippled one. The Xbox version only runs at 1024×576 with 2xAA while the PS3 version runs at 1280×720 2x msaa. It is far from optimized to be a perfect port, and many compromises have been made. More »

I’m having a really hard time keeping in awesome blog posts — they just keep coming out. I tried herbal tea and it still doesn’t help my situation. My doctor says that the only relief I can receive right now is if you take a moment to read the awesome blog posts that came out last week. More »
