Some years just plain suck for video games; when there’s hardly any interesting new titles to look forward to, and the hype surrounding big releases turns out to be more exciting than the actual game.  2011 is not going to be one of those years . At the beginning of every year, I like to [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/the-2011-video-games-im-most-looking-forward-to/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/why-reality-is-broken-is-a-must-read-for-every-gamer/ http://shezcrafti.com/why-reality-is-broken-is-a-must-read-for-every-gamer/#comments Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:46:50 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=1275
And now for something completely different… If you consider yourself a gamer in any capacity, you have probably not gone through life without someone telling you, at some point, that video games are waste of time, or you have no life, and other insulting misconceptions that non-gamers often spew at us. In her new book, [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/why-reality-is-broken-is-a-must-read-for-every-gamer/feed/ 5 http://shezcrafti.com/from-bedrooms-to-billions-is-a-new-documentary-about-the-evolution-of-video-games/ http://shezcrafti.com/from-bedrooms-to-billions-is-a-new-documentary-about-the-evolution-of-video-games/#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:41:01 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=1192
From Bedrooms to Billions is a new documentary by independent filmmakers Anthony and Nicola Caulfield (Nightfall Films) about the humble beginnings of video games, and how passionate gamers have transformed them into a billion dollar industry. Here’s the trailer (which, very appropriately, is set to Pinball Wizard): As someone who was practically born with a [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/from-bedrooms-to-billions-is-a-new-documentary-about-the-evolution-of-video-games/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/worst-valentines-day-gifts-for-gamers/ http://shezcrafti.com/worst-valentines-day-gifts-for-gamers/#comments Fri, 13 Feb 2009 06:39:14 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=164
Valentine’s Day is just 1 day away.  So what have you gotten for your sweetheart who loves video games? Stuck for ideas? There’s a ton of good blog posts out there recommending awesome V-day gifts for the special gamer in your life.  Great stuff like  this, any of these, and (my personal favorite) this.

In 2009, I resolve to: Quit buying into the industry hype leading up to huge game launches.  So far it has continually lead to disappointment. Give more love to my old game systems. I have a closet full of old consoles and games that probably miss me.  I hope to find some time in 2009 [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/my-gamers-new-years-resolutions-for-2009/feed/ 0
