Widescreen Warrior Presents: The Games of 2009

Most people I’ve talked to typically don’t read the first few paragraphs of reviews because the author seems compelled to write about their feelings and how they got to this stage in life and all that other nonsense. And since I’m no different then anyone else, I’m going to write about what I feel in the first two paragraphs as well. Now that the first paragraph was brilliantly... 

Shall We Play a Game? #4 – Taking on the Lich King

Regular Weekly Blend co-host Margaret Williams shows off her geek side as she sits in on this fourth episode. Actually, she shows just how much gamer ranting she’ll endure as Joe and Rafe discuss the latest in World of Warcraft, alternate MMORPGs like Aion and the forthcoming Star Trek Online (send us a beta key!). We also discuss Margaret’s current console woes, the Spike TV VGAs, and... 

World of Warcraft: Patch 3.3 Arrives!

If you wonder where the website updates have been this week, blame World of Warcraft. The MMORPG has recaptured my attention with the latest patch, 3.3, titled Fall of the Lich King. This is supposed to be the final major content patch for the latest expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, which came out over a year ago, and takes players into Icecrown Citadel, where they will finally face off with the...

Also check out reviews of Borderlands,... 

Mr T Brings Mohawk Action to World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft has become such a phenomenon, that it’s become common knowledge that some celebrities spend their free time playing it. In fact, Blizzard centered their advertising around this at one point, featuring testimonials from the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Mr. T in a “What’s Your Game?” campaign that usually wound up with the celebrities arguing with an unseen director about some... 

Shall We Play a Game? #2 – Are You Ready To Rock?

We’re back for another round of video game news and reviews. This time around we discuss the oversaturation of the Rock Band market, with new additions from Lego, and DJ Hero. Joe reviews Brutal Legend, Rafe discusses new Blizzard’s new World of Warcraft pet store (which sells in game pets for real $$$) and the elitism of in-game titles, and the group talks about the private servers not...

It’s Game Time!

In our 200th episode of the Weekly Blend Audio Show, we announced that we would be creating a spin-off from the podcast, one focused on games. In the weeks since then, people have been asking repeatedly, “Where is the game podcast?” and we’ve had no answer. Well, it’s game time. Today we’ll be recording the first episode of the new podcast. Much like the weekly show, the...

Name That Podcast!

One of the things we mentioned in our 200th episode was the plan to start a spin-off podcast. Why not? After all, if The Family Guy can have a spin-off, why can’t we? The new show will feature some of the cast of our popular Weekly Blend Audio Show and will focus on video games – computer, console, casual, etc. As announced, the original name I had come up with was the largely uncreative “Press...

Farming Madness: A Public Service Warning

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem on our hands – a problem that could reach epic proportions. Worlds are colliding; worlds that were never meant to connect, and the resulting consequences could shake the very foundation of our civilization.
