The Video Game Olympics
2009-10-06 16:31:00 It's Gamer Tuesday again and you all know what that means, right? Each week I bring a guest from the world of gaming to contribute to the Geek To Me blog and give us all some insight into the culture of professional gaming. Today we have the return of Rhythm Gamer vVv Paradise who tells us about his experiences at this year's World Cyber Games:"Gaming tournaments, also known as LAN events, are where competitive gamers put the skills they learn at home to the test. These competitions come in all shapes and sizes with prizes ranging from sponsored products and large cash pools to trips around the world.

MaruBot Football League better than soccer video game
2009-09-23 13:01:00 Just when I am still reeling after Space Foosball, another electronic tabletop game that requires the player to stand comes my way. Introducing MaruBot Football League, a new way of playing soccer on the table. As you can see, miniature robots rest safely under glass, and it is up to the four players (two on one team, two on the other) to control them. These players are moved by joystick controls, and their goal is to make goals. Oddly enough, these robots have LEDs in their eyes that indicate emotions. So if the other team scores a goal, they look flat and sad. If you make a goal, the eyes look wide and happy. Check out a mini photo gallery after the jump to see for yourself. Apparently, this game is a big hit in Korea, but I have yet to see it where I live in the United States. Then again, it’s not like I visit video arcades anymore. Perhaps MaruBot Football League could breathe life into the arcades that are still around. That, or perhaps a home version could...

Ghostbusters,The Video Game Coming to Your Neighborhood...
2009-05-31 22:24:00 Remember the novel "1984" and the doom and gloom it portrayed as human existence came under the control of an entity called Big Brother. And then when the year actually came to past, we were somewhat disappointed that our lives were not turned upside down by some super human domination. But then, as fate would have it, in its place, a movie premiered that actually got us laughing about the supernatural...a movie that got our toes a tappin' and everyone singing those crazy lyrics by Ray Parker Jr: "If there's something strange in your neighborhood...if there's something weird and it don't look good...Who ya gonna call?...Ghostbusters!" Well Children of the 80s and older, Ghostbusters is now aiming their proton packs at a fresh new generation when "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" is released June 16, 2009.

Video Game Nerds Unite at Supercombo
2008-11-09 22:21:00 Supercombo is a company tailor-made for fans of both cool shirts and video games- because it was created by guys who love those things, too. That much is made clear by the attention to detail seen in their designs, particularly in the depth and accuracy of the items they used in Trifarce, a stylish send-up of the iconic Zelda series.One Night Only is another strong concept, mirroring a fight poster but using the names and personalities of the characters from Street Fighter to add some flair. Nice phrasing like "one credit per entry" and "live at the airfield" immediately bring back fond memories of battling it out over arcade joysticks.I have to admit that their third launch tee is so nerdy that the reference initially escaped me (I'm not familiar with Naruto), but Dattebayo! has a really nice style that is eminently wearable even for less knowledgeable nerds like myself. In a sense, that's the focus of the whole line- shirts that make geeky references, but that have such a good-l...
