Update
February 9, 2009 by Justin
Just wanted to write another quick update. I currently have a few projects in the works that I can’t reveal fully just yet, but I’m excited. Amongst them is a sister-site to playerFIVE.com which will feature reviews of content beyond videogames and will focus on bad content. I’m also working closely with Zac on an iPhone app that we’re excited about, but that is completely unrelated to this site. On top of all that, I’m also working on two other websites that should be launching shortly for completely different projects, and writing for two other sites (with hopes of submitting articles to even more in the future). Needless to say, my time is stretched thin - but I’m dedicated to this site and will be doing my best to bring some new content to it shortly, which I hope will also include a new FIVEcast with a new co-host!
Stay tuned for more info in the coming days!
I’m not dead yet!

I know its been a long time without updates, but I’m back to work on playerFIVE and hope to begin (again) regular updates to the site starting this weekend. I’ve been through a lot of changes in the past few months, the biggest of which is a new job that should hopefully provide me with a little more time to work on the site. I also got sucked back into World of Warcraft again for a few weeks, but the novelty has already worn off (again) so I’m sure that won’t be an issue… right?
All the back-end updating has been complete, so as far as I can tell it’s just about getting back into a regular writing routine. Between work, studying for my CCNA, and actually playing games to write about I should be pretty busy!
More to come, very soon…

Extra Life: Updates and Thank You!
October 18, 2008 by Justin
It’s finally here! In just a couple of minutes I will begin my all day coverage of my 24-hour gaming marathon for Extra Life. I’m so excited to be a part of this event, and I’m really happy that so many people were able to participate. We’re really doing something special today for children suffering with cancer all around the world - and I couldn’t be more proud of everyone who has been devoted to this cause.
Over the next 24 hours I will partake in a grueling gaming session with friends, co-workers, and other Extra Life participants from all around the world. I’m excited to reunite with some old friends, as well as hopefully make some new ones! It is going to be a day to remember for sure.
Extra Life Quick Update

I just wanted to let everyone know that a full schedule of my Extra Life event activities will be up early tomorrow morning, so check then! The festivities start at 9am EST for me, and I couldn’t be more excited. I want to thank everyone for your support thus far, and I think tomorrow is going to be a great success! For anyone who would like to participate alongside me, please hit me up on XBL or Steam as “EyeQueue”. Again, I will be posting a full schedule tomorrow, as well as other ways to contact me, a live web stream of all events and more! See you all in the AM!
NO MORE HEROES! Okay, okay, fine… one more heroes… BUT JUST THIS ONCE!
October 8, 2008 by Justin
Seriously? A sequel to this game? Apparently Suda 51 is a glutton for punishment, because No More Heroes 2 is in development for the Wii. This should just be released on the 360 or PS3, a console it might actually sell on. Hero’s the video courtesy of Gametrailers.com: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41032.html

Proof that WoW players are newbs
October 8, 2008 by Justin
I’ve always been a proponent of the theory that a lot of people who play WoW were the same Battle.NET kiddies everyone hated during the Warcraft III glory days. Case in point:

Mega Man is the kind of hard that breaks controllers
October 2, 2008 by Justin
Mega Man 9 is hard. I know, I know - you’ve already heard that. I don’t normally like to just echo the rest of the games press, but I feel like its necessary to point out this time that the majority is correct… for once. It it is the kind of hard that breaks controllers. It is the kind of hard that makes you want to toss your console out a 3rd story window. It is the kind of hard that I absolutely love.
Nintendo is like an abusive husband.

What did Nintendo say to the girl with two black eyes? Nothing - it already told her twice!
That’s how I feel every morning when I wake up and stare at my Nintendo Wii, blue LED softly glowing in the morning light. Nintendo failed to make the jump to a disc based format back in 1996 with the launch of the Nintendo 64, and hence lost most of their third party support, including that of Squaresoft. Sony went on to release Final Fantasy VII and many other smash hits on the Playstation, and became well on their way to console dominance. Meanwhile, I was stuck with an inferior system, a small library of good games, and a desire to get punched in the face - again.
