“The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated.”
– Mark Twain, paraphrased
The reports coming out today on Nintendo’s reduced hardware sales projections have awakened the same banter that came from the Nintendo 3DS’ slow sales numbers two years back and the already brightly lit conversation that occurred earlier in 2013 when Wii U sales slowed to a halt due to a lack of software. It’s back to the Internet and game journalists alike playing Wall Street Kid and deciding exactly what is going to become of Nintendo in the future, now that the present seems dark.Read More

Storm and Gunner have been at odds ever since Gunner received the briefcase.Read More
Welcome to the top 10 songs of 2013. You can find songs 20-11 right here. The choice for the Top 10 was difficult in some places but not others. Four of the tracks here have been favourite’s of mine for quite some time while a few others slipped in late.

2013 was a fantastic year for indie music, at least when pertaining to my own personal tastes. I didn’t listen to as many full records as I have in the past but thanks to the music collecting efforts of Indie Rock Playlist I have been able to listen to hundreds of new artists every month. Read More
