Check Out my Gitaroo Man Article on HG101

About a month ago, I wrote an article on my favorite music game, Gitaroo Man, for Hardcore Gaming 101. The article has been posted now, so go check it out. I tried to be as thorough and as in-depth as possible for the game and it's PSP port. A big thanks goes to Kurt Kulata for editing and adding screen shots as well additional information.

Overseas Adventure: Gaming in the Philippines

Last month I wrote a small article for Hardcore Gaming 101. The article is based on my trip to the Philippines and the gaming culture there. I mention bootlegs, the arcade scene, and a wacky electric ape; here is a link :

In a personal note, if anyone knows a cheap booking agency for tickets there, let me know. I want to go back to visit, but it can be quite expensive to fly around the world. Someone really needs to invent teleportation machines.
