  • … of the Month: Human-Os

    Columns Columns by Matt Gardner on

    I wonder to myself, as I play Digital Devil Saga and devour my enemies, does anyone ever go out and eat someone because they see it in videogames? I'm pretty sure if that had happened I would have heard of it, as every negative incident that can be linked to videogames in any conceivable way is made a spectacle of, it seems. Someone shoots someone, someone played a game with shooting in it, the shooting must have been caused by the game.

  • Low-Rent Adventures in Japan: Mister Donut

    Columns Columns by Richo Rosai on

    Now I'm not exactly a donut connoisseur, but I've eaten my share of fried sugary bread, and let me tell you: Japan's Mister Donut is good. How good? Well, it's sure better than the airplane food on the way over, lemme tell ya! I mean that stuff is one notch above Styrofoam on the taste-o-meter, am I right, folks? But seriously, if I could be serious for just a minute... You know, there are a lot of children out there who need our help.
