    I grew up with the Super Mario Bros. I owned all the games, I watched the TV show religiously, and I collected comics, golden books, sticker sets, or anything else I could get my hands on. In my day, Mario used to go hand-in-hand with his brother Luigi. In all the non-game media, he’d stand on equal ground with his brother and they’d be a duo, fighting against the forces of King Koopa and his minions. In the games, Luigi was the avatar ...

    What is this!? Two installments in one month? Is my output actually improving? Nah, actually, I felt a little bad about skipping February, so I’m writing one more article to make up for it. I’m not making a habit of it either. If I wanted to balance my timeline I’d have to write enough articles to make up for part of 2010 and some of 2011.

    Anyway.



    I’m a huge fan of Kickstarter. Even when I’m not tossing 20 bucks at ...

    If there was one gripe that could be made about the PS4 presentation last month (besides the lack of a system) it would be how we didn't get any price for the system. However, we never really focused on how much the games themselves would actually be. After all, considering how much games are right now, and even the Wii U titles, $60 seems to be a fair enough price right? Well, what if ...

    Okay, so I missed out on the month of February because I was trying to come up with a good article about the recent Playstation 4 announcement, and how the handling of the announcement would affect the concept of “Next-Gen.” The problem I’ve been having with that concept, though, is that this “Next-Gen” we’re getting into is still something of a grey area. We’re getting the usual high-concept, low-powered niche market platform from Nintendo, the usual high-powered low ...

    We’re two weeks into 2013 and nobody on 8bitfix has yet made an article commenting on the Newtown Elementary school shooting?! Somebody get me the editorial guy! He’s asleep a the switch! I aught to give him a piece of my m-muh-

    Oh wait, that’s me.

    Well, like I said, two weeks have gone by since the Newtown tragedy, and people are still talking about it. It’s certainly a relevant issue ...

    There will be spoilers.

    About three-quarters through Dark Souls, I was facing a moral crisis. As far as I understood, I was on the right and proper path. I did not know how the narrative was going to conclude, but I had been working towards trying to be as good as ...

    [Author's Note: This format was introduced to me by Martin “Dr. Toon” Goodman, currently of The Cartoon Geeks Blog, who used to write a cartoon version every Christmas on a variety of animation fan-sites. He admits to having stolen this format from another author, so I see it to note that I was inspired to do the same due to his articles. Just keeping a Christmas tradition alive.]

    Hello again friends. I'm back from a long hiatus from writing this column which ended in a cliffhanger. I promise, soon I'll write out my opinions of what makes a solid female protagonist in a video game soon....

    But in the meantime, and in the ...
