The Shenmue games are officially becoming a trilogy. The first game was released in 1999 for the Sega Dreamcast. At the time, the game was speculated to 'save' the Sega Dreamcast. It's quite a game with a very in depth world! I never really got into it because I was insanely confused, but I can see where the fandom comes from.

Okay, I'm not the gamer that Ned is, but then again, who is, right? But there are some games I loved, and played the hell out of. For quite a while, I was obsessed with Descent, and played it relentlessly until someone stole my joystick. (Not a euphemism.) I even remember the intro video where the stereotype Hispanic pilot asked, "Cood sahmbuddy 'splain to me"...I laughed at it every tim

One of my favorite video games for the Sega Genesis has to be the ToeJam & Earl games. Just looking at the game makes me say, "Man, they just don't make them like they used too." It's been some time since we had heard from the funky aliens, and now thanks to Kickstarter, it looks like we may get the sequel that we have always wanted.

In the early '90's, a very strange video game by the name of Toejam & Earl came out for Sega Genesis. You played as either ToeJam or Earl, or played 2 player Co-op and played as ToeJam & Earl. Through it's crazy exterior, it is one of the funnest games of all time! The first game garnered 2 sequels, and has been missing from the gaming landscape for a long time. Now, the original creator a

Trolling around on the internet can either get you into trouble, or land right smack in the middle of the best stuff you've ever seen! Luckily, this morning's surf-session landed me in the awesomeness of KUNG FURY! It's a project that was up for funding on Kickstarter, and had a goal of $200,000. It not only reached that goal, but tacked on another $430,000 on top!

Gr8bit Live for the past few years has been a great show for a great cause. Bands like Playing with Power, Super Guitar Bros., The X-Hunters, and more have performed at this awesome show with the proceeds from the show going to purchasing new video & board games for Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. Do those names look familiar? Yes, they are video game music cover groups. Now, for its third

Umbrellas are pretty basic tools. There's not really a whole lot of room for improvement. They serve their purpose and get thrown in a closet when not in use. Is carrying an umbrella really that inconvenient? Apparently so, because a Kickstarter project has popped up for the Air Umbrella, a redesign to the umbrella you know and love.

Sometimes you don't have a bass player.  It happens a lot.  Sometimes you perform alone, and want the guitar to sound bigger, and more full. Here's a really cool Kickstarter campaign going on right now.  This guy works for Steve Vai, and has come up with a pretty cool invention.  It's called A Little Thunder. It's a guitar pickup that fits in a regular humbucker slot on the guitar, and has sort of

This guy really likes Kenny Loggins. Like, really, REALLY likes Loggins. He likes the '80s movie soundtrack master so much that he started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $30,000 to get him to play a 75-minute private concert in his living room.

Every day, people come up with amazing new ideas for people and technology.  Some things you don't want to get more information on, and some you just want to see video of it in action. This is one of those second ones. There's a project up on Kickstarter for the KGoal.

Campy '80s movies are some of the best things ever. I love watching the mind blowing special effects and gruesome scenes that you would only see in graphic horror films today. Remember the shooting scene in "Robocop"? That was brutal! There is a movie trying to continue production right now through Kickstarter, which is completely '80s. When I saw some dude use his skateboard to launch
