I'm a brand new dad, gaming machine, and beard aficionado. With a little one in the house, I've come to embrace the single-player experience, as it is much less likely to send me into a profanity-laced, controller-throwing tantrum. Writing and video games are two of my greatest passions, so this is a natural fit for me. As long as it doesn't require me to perform coordinated dance moves in front of my Kinect, i'm willing to pen my thoughts on it. Aside from gaming, I love music (Smashing Pumpkins), coffee (Red-Eye), and sushi (Yellowtail). All offerings of my aforementioned favorites will be accepted with open arms and, if you're lucky, i'll let you touch my beard. Just don't pull on it. That hurts.

Did Capcom Tease Dragon’s Dogma 2 at the PS4 Event?

As expected, today was chock full of news from Sony’s PlayStation 4 announcement. While all the hardware specs and social features of the PS4 are getting a lot of attention, there was one particular item that really caught my attention: Capcom’s reveal of their Panta Rhei next-gen engine. Undoubtedly, it was tear-jerkingly beautiful, and has already stirred ...
