[Editor’s note: Count Grishnack talks aboutFinal Fantasy VIIIfor hisMonthly Musingpiece. — CTZ] Many of the entries in this month’s Monthly Musings have been colorful and entertaining tales of youth – of unwrapping their first NES and being throughly enthralled with an awesome old-school game or scrimping and saving allowance money to buy that new game that kicked off their love affair with gaming. Not that these haven’t been great reads (theEarthboundone, by Dexter345 especially) or in theme, but my story is a bit different....
Lawsuits, mass departures,gag orders— Tecmo’s got issues in spades these days. It seems that this lawsuit between Itagaki and Tecmo is only going to get dirtier, if this morning’s news is to indicate the direction things are going in. Yesterday, Itagaki’s lawyer apparently submitted into evidence a contract stating that Itagaki was owed a completion bonus forDead or Alive 4. Tecmo supported an identical-looking contract — except it stated the opposite information: that Tecmo does not own Itagaki a red cent....

[It’s time for anotherMonthly Musing— the monthly community blog theme that provides readers with a chance to get their articles and discussions printed on the frontpage. — CTZ]TheMetal Gear Solidseries has always been a favorite of mine.Metal Gear Solidwas the first game I ever pre-ordered thanks to GamePro’s coverage hyping my 12-year-old brain into a frenzy. I was ravenous for the game, completely obsessed with the apparent ability to jump into the shoes of a super soldier like none other....

This story is so ill I don’t even know where to begin, so I guess I’ll spit the facts out first and hopefully the fog in my brain will clear by then. The Vietnamese police have arrested a 13 year old Thai boy for strangling an 81 year old woman and burying her in a pile of sand in front of his house (surely no one would notice a big lump of grave-sized dirt there....
Santa’s dead. HAHAHAH, pwned. OK, now that that’s out of the way I got some questions for you. Are you lonely tonight? Do you find yourself with nothing to do? Are you as much of a loser as I am? Yes? OK, I thought so. Join me, won’t you, in watching this amazing 30-minute speed run through the originalHalf-Life. Get out the popcorn and crowbars, cause you’re about to be entertained....
The first time we’d ever heard ofWarriors: Legends of Troywasummmm,around this time last year. In the twelve months following its announcement, Koei Tecmo has said absolutely nothing. All we know is that it’sDynasty Warriors, but starring Greeks and featuring M-rated violence. Oh, and we also now know what it looks like thanks to the first shots. I’d been wondering if this game was dead due to the lack of news concerning it, so these new screens cheer my heart....
Your regular Destructainment host Hamza is away fighting in The Great War this weekend, so your regular collection of game-related videos is being presented by yours truly instead. I thought we’d do something a little special this week and have a themed post. I’m an irregular poster on NeoGAF and sometimes a thread there really catches me eye. One such thread was a collection of cutscenes with absolutely horrendous voice acting....
