OK, so the original plan for the 52 Lives Report proved to be grossly ambitious, especially since I end up spending about 50 times as long creating these videos as I do playing the game. You should go check out the latest one, as it is the best yet, but you'll find that I took it in a bit of a different direction.

When will the next one come out, will it be anything like this one? I have no idea, but I do plan on returning to the game, and creating more content with it. Although doing what took me the past four months to create would not only be inefficient, I imagine it would get tedious, like creating that Frontalot video over and over.

I managed to snag the last copy of Ghostbusters for 360 at the local Best Buy, and it is delicious. Scrumptious even. Rumor has it that they are in pre-production for the third movie (again), so if we all go out and buy two copies of the game maybe the film will take the supreme form of a vengeful deity instead of congealing like ectoplasmic residue in Dan Akroyd interviews.

We can only hope.

MAtt Dujnic Six Months Since!
posted by MAtt Dujnic - 5/14/09 - [permalink]


Well, the calendar can't lie. It's been six months since our last podcast. I wish I could tell you that we've purchased better equipment, added special guests, and aggressively edited to a zippy high speed discussion, but no. Well, I can offer you the last one - it is a snappy, aggressively edited 53 minutes, and it covers a lot of topics. You know, games.

Speaking of games... Dan and I have been broadening our horizons. Not away from games, but beyond the TV kind. I'm most of the way through the D&D 4 rules, and both of us have been designing our own board games (which is exceedingly difficult). I thought it would be a needless extravagence to buy the tabletop version of Settlers of Catan, because we both own a jolly version on XBLA. But, wow, the feeling of an afternoon with beers and a board in front of you. Unmatched.

MAtt Dujnic The Award for Best Video Game Doggie...
posted by MAtt Dujnic - 5/7/09 - [permalink]


Fudgie, our dearly departed pet, inspired me to dream up my top nine doggies in Video Game history. Take a stroll down memory lane with me, learn some retro-game trivia, and discover which pixellated creation best embodied the spirit of man's best friend.

Miss you, Fudgie. Good boy.

MAtt Dujnic It's coming! Game Grump IV!
posted by MAtt Dujnic - 3/6/09 - [permalink]




Above is the teaser poster for the upcoming summer relaunch of our lil' game culture entertainment site. Back in 2005, Game Grump version 1 was a dual-blog format for brother and I. Neat idea, but people didn't know how to follow it. Then, for a while, Dan used the address for his personal site (v.2). Finally, in October of 2007, I booted him to a subdirectory and this purple page was born.

Now it's time for Version 4. Among other things, there will be a fresh look, more robust content navigation, and (finally), the ability to comment on content. To celebrate the announcement, I painted & designed the poster, above. If you'd like to support the redesign effort, you can buy a full-size version of the poster in the shop. Big 24x36 and small 11x17 versions are available.

Zoom.

MAtt Dujnic Grumpinion Features are Back!
posted by MAtt Dujnic - 2/27/09 - [permalink]


Grumpinions are back for 2009. As promised (that is, promised to our regulars on the mailing list), I have two for this week. The first one is an impassioned perspective on Rock Band 2, and the second one is a double-length feature on Fable II. Both are excellent games, that's sort of beside the point when it comes to grumpinions.

Best Yet: Rock Band 2

Schmonsequences: Fable II

In addition to there being two new ones, I also noticed that these are both sequels. Number two sequels, even. Dismissed as coincidence. Because it's a coincidence.
