E3DS Disappointment

I know this is a few days after the fact, but honestly I was just so pissed off that I couldn't even bring myself to write a blog until now. As I'm sure you all know, last week was the E3 Expo, where Nintendo had a few presentations to show us sneak peeks at new …

Everyone who reads my blog knows that I love Pokémon and Animal Crossing.  But did you know that I have yet another video game franchise obsession?  It's true, and the game is Harvest Moon.

New “About Me” Page

Hm... what is it about me?  What do people want to know about the Gluxbox? I'm not entirely sure.  But most blogs and websites have an About Me page and I figured it was time for the Glux Blog to have one as well.  Of course I didn't know what to write...  it's always kind …

What’s Next?

This is a "calm" time for me right now, in terms of video games.  There's no HUGE title out there that I'm dying for, except for Pokémon Black and White 2, which doesn't even come out until June...  and if I want to understand anything in the game, the North American version isn't available until …

The PVGC Report

Yesterday was a long, exhausting, but awesome day!  JDubz and I took a road trip down to Philadelphia to participate in the Pokémon Video Game Championship Regional tournament.  I haven't been to Philly since I was a kid, so I was also hoping to sneak in some sight-seeing while we were down there. The registration …

IT’S CRUNCH TIME!

Much to discuss today!  I've been so busy with the awesomeness that is Kid Icarus, I've barely had time to blog about all the other sweet games that are coming out soon.  And I haven't even talked about Mario Party 9, which I've been playing off and on for a while.  ZOMG!  Not to mention …

Getting Psyched About Kid Icarus!

A brand new 3DS game is coming out next week - Kid Icarus: Uprising!  It's release date is 3/23 and there are quite a few launch events going on in NYC for this game.  Unfortunately I probably won't be able to go to these events (stupid work!).  Honestly, at first I wasn't even going to …

Excitement Abounds!

Nintendo certainly knows how to build up anticipation!  I'm excited about so many things right now, I don't know what to do with myself! First of all, I received a Swapnote via SpotPass yesterday from Reggie Fils-Aime, CEO of Nintendo of America.  His note said to check nintendo.com today for a special announcement.  So I …
