Hey gang. Bottom line is this. I broke up with the love of my life back in the UK Tuesday night, appear to be on my way to my third published book, and life is just totally up-f*cked right now. Thankfully all the columns this week are just glorified mailbag editions, eh? But very popular…

Before I begin, you’ve got ONE WEEK before the EWR contest ends. I’ll be sending in the results to be posted while I’m in California on business so hopefully we’ll get a few more in before the damn thing ends. But as always this is the column where you speak more than I do. Hey…

Hello once again my minions of darkness. This week we’ll be spreading the seeds of darkness amongst the herd that is humanity in a way that is so foul and depraved even the Prince of Darkness flinches at the thought. Using our control over Hollywood, the big show on NBC’s fall lineup will be a…

Okay. This week’s column came courtesy of the 411 Forum where I commented my favorite out of the current systems is of course the GBA. I got the comment like, “But all the games are ports!” or, “I can’t deal with the little screen.’ Oh! And my personal favorite, “The PS2 has quantity and quality,”…

DISCLAIMER! Alex and Adam sat down to do a fun interview. This is two guys having fun and making at least two jokes towards British Pop Culture that most non-Brit’s won’t get. Alex is not warning that if you are looking for an in-depth discussion on visual basic, depth into either Adam or Alex’s soul,…

Retrograding Mailbag Tagline: The more mail I get, the more of these I have to do. Allright. Lots of emails about the last few columns. All except 1 positive, but that’s because Alex actually did do a pretty big f*ck up, so I’m going to my first ever retraction here as I jabbed EA pretty…

Man, five columns in one week! It’s like old times isn’t people. And force I’m guessing Chris is happy I’m churning out so much! This has been a busy week for me, doing Advance, mailbag and this column, but what’s bigger is Alex has yet another big interview lined up. Remember how much you guys…

Okay. Right off the bat, no mail before the first of June. And most of it’s just praise and ego boost mails. I think everyone was just glad to have me back. But I miss the long winded emails waxing about everything from how much Cthulhu rules to asking me if I’m a crazy Japanese…

Welcome to Retrograding! We’re shaking up the line up here at 411, and Retrograding is now going to be the weekend fixture in our games section. It’s not daily news updates like Ron, Lee, Bryan, Stanley, and Bebito do, but I’ve always been the one to buck the trends here, from talking handhelds to bitching…

Welcome back to Retrograding! I know it’s been a two months without me and I’ve missed you as much as you’ve missed me. I want to thank everyone for the emails of support I got while fighting the UK Home office. Sadly, I’m now in the US and the fiancee is still in the UK,…

I received some nice responses to the first part of the Shining article, but people, I want MORE emails! MORE MORE MORE! When we last talked Shining Force, we (Well it was just me talking, but hopefully you were interested) had just finished babbling about the Japanese only Shining Force Gaiden for the Game Gear.…

Okay, I’ve been quiet for two weeks thanks to the British Home Office not only LOSING my passport, but also rescinding my work permit because the company marked one box “yes” where they were supposed to put “no.” Or so the Home Office says even though we have triplicate copies of the document showing it…

What the hell is slash? -Attributed to about a dozen readers of my last column, referring to the tagline of my last column. People, if you don’t know…be happy. Be very happy. Good news and bad news. First the bad news. Seems Sega delayed Shining Soul until the 28th of this month. And they didn’t…
