Pulverizing Old MacDonald and his Goddamn Farm

Here at Great Gamers, we aren’t fans of nursery rhymes. Besides having an irritating beat, we always thought it was designed to make us look stupid as kids. As five year olds, we had to be literally dragged kicking and screaming everytime the teacher said “Okay class, now form a circle so we can sing another idiotic song.” Besides, it took us away from our valuable time on the old NES and Commodor

Stay in Peak Gaming Condition

They say athletes train for years for that one crucial Olympic competition. And we’re not exaggerating: Michael Phelps probably swum the distance between Florida band Cuba, passing illegal immigrants going the other way, before putting on his swimming trunks. Hell, it’s rumored the former Soviet Union, and now the Chinese, train their Olympic competitors from birth. These poor babies are subjected to pu

A Gamer’s Guide to Proper Eyecare

Your sense of sight is very important when playing. It’s the sense that you rely on when you need to finish off an opponent or look for a treasure. However, enjoying your favorite titles, even casual ones like Moon Lander or Ben 10 games for many hours every day can take their toll on your eyes. After a long period of sitting in front of the monitor, you could feel symptoms like eye sore or eye itchiness tha

How to Piss off Other Gamers

The typical man, they say, is an ambivalent creature. On a bright sunny day, he might be respectful and wish peace and brotherhood for mankind. The next day, he will be the first to start a nuclear war and grab candies off hapless babies. The same goes for the typical gamer. There may be days when you are polite and spout off “good game!” to the chap who killed you. On bad days, however, you might call

How to Get An Eternal Kick+Ban

In a perfect world, all gamers would be polite and civil to one another. There would be genial “good game!” slaps after each round, and players might even apologize for nuking the hell out of each other. But even if it WAS a perfect world…. where would be the fun in that, really? Admit it: part of the fun of playing online games is releasing your raging testosterone, either by bitch-slapping an op

A Day in the Life of a Covenant Grunt

Dear Diary, As you know, today is the day we invade a planet called Earth. I don’t even know why the Covenant bothered sending us to this hellhole of a planet. It lies in a backwater solar system near the fringes of an unremarkable galaxy. If it weren’t for those pesky Spartans, we wouldn’t have bothered at all. We’d have gone our merry way of annihilating other races. After all, this race o

The Best Gamers Stay Fit

The image people have of the serious gamer is the social outcast with jiggling love handles. Yeah right! People say that video games boost brainpower then turn around and say they make you fat? So not true. The best gamers stay fit. Why? How much energy do you think it needs to jump twenty feet in the air while reciting a spell to energize the heavy blade you’re readying to throw one-handed at the thick skull

Alternative Therapies to Game Addiction

Here at Great Gamers, there can be no doubt that we love our video games nearly as much as we love our kids (gotta be careful lest the wife read this). However, we also realize that it’s not very healthy to be in front of the computer 24/7 (see, hon? I AM responsible!) Over the past few years, we’ve seen reports of people dying from playing video games too much. We shit you not. In a couple of instances

Why the World Needs More Zombie Games

Some people think that there are already tons of zombie games. There are folks who have had their fill of Plants vs Zombies, Zombie Apocalypse, Dead Rising, and the Resident Evils. Some of these people would even try to keep their kids from watching late night reruns of “Night of the Living Dead”. What fools! What utter fools! As far as monsters, even movie monsters go, zombies are pretty much the new k
