Hey yo. I’m back with another fun-filled edition of the News Report. If anybody is reading that hasn’t read me before, I’ll give you a rundown of what I do here. I’m what many would consider a geek, because I typically cover games that aren’t considered mainstream games. I’m talking about RPGs, because they are…

“Look lively!”¦LOOK LIVELY!!!” — Mr. Shmallow, www.homestarrunner.com Ah, the last week of summer vacation. Time to squeeze in all the gaming hours you can before heading back to your high school or college! Aw, who am I kidding?

Welcome to this bastion of quality gaming news, the Thank God It’s Thursday News Report. As always, thanks for dropping by. Got some excellent feedback from last…

Hey yo. I’m back this week with more of what you’ve come to expect from me. RPG news and stuff, and me slacking off in some way or another. I know I promised that I’d review one of the anime series I purchased (which DID come in), but I haven’t watched any yet. Hey, I’ll…

Well, this week marks yet ANOTHER slow week, this one slower than usual. There’s only two games reviewed here that I haven’t covered yet. So the codes section is going to be a bit light this week. But hey, you’ll also get my N-Gage commentary I’ve been promising! You won’t be disappointed with THAT, anyway.…

I’m just saying… So I checked out Star Wars Knights of The…

Alright. Lots of stuff to go over. Some neat letters and some examples of conversations as people seemed to really enjoy those. GREAT Feedback on the Music soundtrack column BTW. Glad you guys really enjoyed it. Hello, You wanted to hear from readers in the twin cities? Here’s one from a Minneapolis resident. Which day…

Hey all. Welcome to the Thank God It’s Thursday News Report for this week. This one’s a little different from the other editions of TGIT. You see, I was writing about Nintendo, and I got a little carried away. I wondered, “What would I do if I were in their position?” As the thought crossed…

It’s nice when things go the way you want them to.As I’ve said before, I’ve had to work a lot of overtime, and if I didn’t, it’d count against my attendance. Well, apparently enough people complained and it has been changed so that it will NOT affect attendance. They even went back and corrected it…

Greatest thing alive? Hardly. Anyone who puts “THE NUDE CODE” in their teaser is infinitely more deserving of that honor! — Bryan Berg And Bryan… I must agree. The greatest move I’ve ever seen anyone here do a 411 Games, was to put a NUDE CODE in their teaser, and then bash the people for…

411 Games Rumor Down-Lo 08.05.03 411 Games Quote of The Week I would like to open this week’s Commentary with a little piece about my comrades in the 411 Kliq (yes, it really does exist). It took me less time to pound down my #2 plain, Supersized with a Coke from McDonalds than it took…

Before I begin…Happy Birthday Mom! (I know, I’m such a kiss ass…) It’s interesting that a few days after I announced this topic that a thread about this very subject appeared on the 411Games news board. And I found a lot of the choices very interesting. From the Super Mario Brothers theme to people liking…

Hey all. You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for the latest video game news. I’m Bryan Berg, and I think Nabisco made a huge mistake by changing the Chewy Chips Ahoy Stay-Fresh mechanism from the trusty bar-that-usually-breaks-off contraption to the ridiculous long-piece-of-tape device. Thank God It’s Thursday! This week, I’ve received a…

Welcome again to 411Games’ ONLY cheat-related column in existence! (Come to think of it, this may be the only cheat-related COLUMN this side of the web. I don’t go to those “other” websites, so I wouldn’t know.) As always, I’m Alex Williams, and as always, I’m here to serve you up some cheating goodness! To…

First I’d like to say that I’m a dumbass. No, not for my still present loyalty to Squaresoft. Not for spending way too much money on anime and games, and therefore getting into massive debt. I’m talking about the name of my column. I screwed it up last week! I can’t believe I did that.…

LAST SUNDAY Bella & Bebito Jackson make their way around the local mall and into its Electronics Boutique. Bebito walks purposefully through the small store straight to the GameCube wall, knowing full well what he’s looking for. Bebito: Hmm”¦ Where is it? Store Manager: *from behind the counter* Yo Bebito! Bebito: Hey! What’s up, bro?…
