Top 5 Moments of E3 2010
1. Dead Rising 2 Last year I wrote about how the Electronic Entertainment Expo was bringing back the booth babes, and I am quite happy to say that the trend continued during my visit to E3 this year. Beautiful women (and men!) were to be found in abundance, but none were quite so striking as [...]
Make Your Vote Count for E3 2010
With the Electronic Entertainment Expo rapidly approaching (in less than a week), I decided to crank up the amount of viewer participation here. You know your voice always counts with me. So, I sifted through all your game requests on my blog Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and more to narrow the list down to sizable poll. [...]

Star Wars Nerds all over the globe (myself included) just can’t resist using the popular quote: “May the Force Be With You” on May 4th, coining the phrase “May the 4th Be With You.” Rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it? In celebration of this momentous event, here’s some memorable Star Wars related content that [...]

/blackaperture/thumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/jenna-haze.jpg&w=120&h=90&zc=1&q=95)
I’m back and in action and hope you enjoy the coverage of both the Consumer Electronic Show and the Adult Entertainment Expo.. at once! The Adult Entertainment Expo taught me an invaluable lesson: When life gives you a giant penis, you must ride it. Or something like that. The (NSFW) footage below isn’t allowed on [...]
New Photos: Hardware and Hard-Ons – CES & AEE 2010
It’s been exactly a week since I’ve left Sin City. There I double-penetrated both the Consumer Electronics Show and the Adult Entertainment Expo for some fun and photos.

/blackaperture/thumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/setpreview_large.jpg&w=120&h=90&zc=1&q=95)
The Boxee Box, presented by D-Link, has earned many honors since its announcement. We have been hearing a lot about how amazing it is, the way it will change how we experience media in our homes, and lists of feature after feature that sound cool. But you may have been thinking: What exactly is Boxee? [...]
Gaming for Charity – Rocking Out at Ümloud 2009
The holiday season. A season of cheer, of change, (hope you like my new site design) and charities. Most people think of charities as stuffing a dollar or two in the red bucket that the Salvation Army guys encourage you to do by ringing their bells outside of Wal-marts. If you’re like me, you’ve always [...]
Musaic Box – Everything you Wanted to Know
This year, Musaic Box won the Excellence in Design award for its interesting use of music in its gameplay. It is considered part of the casual game genre and the core of the game revolves around using both music and shapes to fill in puzzle boxes. While as a rule I’m not personally a fan [...]
Indie Gamers have Inner Angst
Not to be Captain Obvious, but I feel the urge to inform you that this week I am featuring Independent Games. Over the last few days I have felt it necessary to dedicate my time to writing about those who spend countless hours producing outlets for us that are high in creativity and low in [...]
Independent Games Festival 2009 – Review and Results
[lightbox http://nixiepixel.com/media/blogs/a/famous/indie-games-awards.jpg [IGA Stage]][/lightbox] Out of everything that I saw at the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco this year I was most excited by the diversity and quality of independent games on display. Imagine indie games are like a having a girlfriend who’s a sexy art student that’s just the right amount of crazy, [...]
GDC Day 3 – Chaos Reigns Supreme!
If CES is like a big, cheap, family-style Italian dinner, the GDC is like eating at a 4-star French restaurant (I must be hungry!). A lot of flavor is found in a small, but very satisfying meal. I am having a blast at this year’s Game Developers Conference, and I am really excited about some [...]
GDC with ADD – Day 1
So I rolled out of bed later than I had hoped after last night’s craziness, but still hopeful that I could bribe my way into the GDC. Thankfully the press registration was actually open today, and I must have pleased the gaming gods somehow because they accepted me as press without any hassle! Well, sort [...]
GDC 2009 or bust?
You might not want to believe me, but I totally had a video recorded today. It wasn’t any old boring webcam video (hell no) it was actually 1280 x 720 of beautiful “HD” pixels. You have to pardon if my writing this evening is a touch on the maniacal side. You see, though I usually [...]
Will Bringing Boobs Back Save E3?
What was once the largest convention in the nation for all things gaming, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) has been slowly dying out in the last two years. With their elitist invite-only basis and “no-nonsense” approach, they brought in a mere 3-5,000 people compared to the previous 60,000 hungry gaming gurus that flocked to the [...]
Aftermath of CES 2009
Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that now that the Consumer Electronics Show has come to an end, I will be updating the blog again, beginning tomorrow when I get back home. I saw some exciting new technologies, met some great people, and had a wonderful time. I will fill you in [...]
CES 2009 : Diving in Head First
My first day at CES was amazing. The largest show I had been to before this was GenCon, and while I love that great big gaming fest, it can’t hold a candle to the international Consumer Electronics Show when it comes to extravagance. The big guns are out in force – Microsoft, Intel, Sony, Panasonic; [...]
