Hello readers, welcome to the first article following an unboxing of a Loot Crate. Don't know what a Loot Crate is? Well it is a subscription service for less than $20 a month including shipping. Every month Loot Crate sends out a new box filled with various items centered around a theme. Some previous themes were Space, Dragons, and Adventure. Dragons had items from Game of Thrones and Dungeons and Dragons etc. Adventure combined items from Minecraft, Adventure Time, an... Read The Full Article

Hello fellow Looters! I apologize for having missed you on July's unboxing event. The theme was VILLAINS and I certainly played the villain in not providing you with a view of the tasty goodies contained inside. Fear not, however, for I am back for the unboxing of the August Loot Crate! This month, in appreciation of balance in the universe Loot Crate provided us with a HEROES crate to combat all the villains set loose in the previous month. Let's jump right in! The...

For those of you that enjoy the thrill of taking up the blade and rising to the call of being a fearless hero to a kingdom in need - I doubt the Legend of Zelda games need an introduction. For those of you that may not be fully familiar with this game series, let me tell you that it is truly a masterpiece of its genre and generations. With a beautiful (and at times cliche) story driving the game play, players are faced with nearly endless adventure and demanding puzzles... Read The Full Article

Wow! Time can slip by so fast. Sorry for the lack of posts, but time has been unusually argumentative over the past month. But enough about us; let's talk about what we are doing for you! Some exciting updates including nuggets, Facebook, and our game list! Jumbo Nuggets We are all pretty tired of struggling to see our nugget collections. These aren't fine diamonds or snowflakes we are talking about - they are nuggets; and they have detail worth looking at (most of the... Read The Full Article

This is not a game that we've done anything with, but I personally support it. They don't even know who I am or that I am posting this. They are short on time and not far from funding the level editor feature. The game is a great idea. If you've never heard of it, you should check it out. Below is a link to the kickstarter; you can find all the info there. The game AND the developers of it (Skookum-Arts) deserve all the attention they get. The Pedestrian - Kickstarter...

Hatsune Miku, the iconic virtual pop star from Vocaloid, finally has a game released to the North American region for Nintendo's 3DS - Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX. There was a launch bundle that included a high quality fabric wallet chain and 19 double sided AR cards. I was able to grab this bundle for the same price I would have paid for the game alone, so it was a good decision and opportunity for me. Perhaps you can have the same luck? The game itself is a musi... Read The Full Article

Halo 5: Guardians will be released tomorrow, October 27th of 2015. I will be in line late tonight to grab my copy at midnight. Hope to see you online! I was lucky enough to play the online beta last December and I honestly found it to feel like a pretty solid Halo game. My friends and I seemed to agree on the general consensus that it felt more like a Halo game than Halo 4, which in our opinions seemed to feel a little more like a Call of Duty game. Either way, it has b... Read The Full Article

With the holiday season soaring toward us, I am finding our time to become increasingly limited. There are still gifts to buy, nuggets to create, and lots to develop; but I am trying to keep in mind - there is also a lot to play. For owners of an Xbox One and fans of the Halo series, this Christmas brings along with it an excellent (but limited time) opportunity to play Halo 5: Guardians in the game's beta testing. To get access, just pick up a copy of "Halo: Master Ch... Read The Full Article

While working on restructuring some of the screen generation scripts for our site, I ran into an interesting problem with Yii Framework's CGridView widget and models that come from a MySQL table with a composite primary key. The error was actually a PHP warning which read "urlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given". Displayed as shown below. Without getting into other potential workarounds or arguing possible flaws in the structure of my data, I'm goi... Read The Full Article
