Do you eat, sleep, and breathe video games? Can you mold words into masterful works of art? If you answered yes to both, and are looking to join a site dedicated to providing quality content without conforming its team into style guide humping zombies, you’re in the right place …

Why Vanity Fair Sucks and Old Media Needs to Die

There is something uniquely satisfying in watching a magazine like Vanity Fair, one with so much money and history behind it, absolutely shoot themselves in the foot with the wrong group of people. It is satisfying, but entirely infuriating, to watch so-called “traditional” media botch coverage of things like internet culture, video games, or really [...]

Avatar Movie Observations, WoW/MMO Addiction, & Coming Clean

This post was originally going to be a review, but as Avatar’s plot unfolded, it became clear to me that I could no longer put off discussing a year long personal struggle in my life that may prove helpful to others out there going through a similar situation. Some of the readers may have noticed [...]

Ripten Radio Presents: Ripcast Episode 16

As the Ripcast hits sweet 16, we recap last week’s show, go over our playlists, and talk a bit about some stuff in a really snotty, entitled tone. You know, because that’s what everyone does for their sweet 16. Television taught us a lot about the ways of the world. Join Solid Snake, Not Zungre, [...]

Ripten Radio Presents: Ripcast Episode 15

Episode 15. Featuring a cast of non-related Landises and a Brit, we made up for the lack of a proper host by being louder and more obnoxious. Well, not at first, but we worked up to it. For example: zombies! Playlists are expressed, including such hits as Sins of a Solar Empire, HAWX, and Ninja [...]

Ripten Exclusive BTS Promo of Jace Hall Episode 6

Another behind-the-scenes promo for The Jace Hall Show, this time for episode 6 which airs tomorrow. In this clip, Jace plays golf with Kelly Hu, unfortunately wearing more clothing than we would’ve liked. We’re referring to Jace, of course. When is he going to go topless?

Ripten Exclusive BTS Promo of Jace Hall Episode 5

Jace Hall may or may not be known to you, but he should be. Well, not personally, but you should at least be aware of his show, aptly titled The Jace Hall Show. Jace talks gaming with industry vets, movie and TV stars, and… other people, and it’s all done in a reality show style [...]

Ripten Radio Presents: Ripcast Episode 14

It’s the return of the Ripcast, gone from the spotlight for a few weeks (blame Zungre) but hopefully not forgotten. In Episode 14, we learn that Sam is last on the list of importance, John’s microphone is occasionally too loud for his demeanor, Dan is stuck in 3rd grade, and Beau is a woman. Oh, [...]

Ripten Radio Presents: Ripcast Episode 13

It’s the Ripcast, hooray! Well, not really “hooray” with an exclamation point, maybe just kind of like with apathetic indifference (which is redundantly redundant). Point is, don’t get too excited — we certainly weren’t. If you care what the show is about, you should just stop wasting your time reading stupid words when you could [...]

Ripten Radio Presents: Ripcast Episode 12

Alright, look — the Ripcast is way too long. It’s so long, in fact, that I bet no one will listen to the whole thing (not that you’d want to). You can take that as a dare if you want, or you can even consider it a threat to your manliness. The fact is that [...]

Ripten Radio Presents: Ripcast Episode 11

Ripten Radio returns once again with the latest and greatest in all things called “the Ripcast”. Yes, that means Episode 11 is about to wiggle its way through your ear canal and infect your brain with lots of penis talk– err, I mean games. Game talk. Join host Jonathan Zungre (who sounds different this time, [...]

Ripten Radio Presents: Ripcast Episode 10

What? Didn’t we just have a Ripcast, like, a week ago? You’re damn right we did, and here’s another one! Joining the usual crew of Jonathan, Dan, and Beau, we have a super extra special guest this time — Peter Molyneux! Okay, it’s not Peter Molyneux, it’s Mr. John “The Landmine” Landis. Coincidentally, there is [...]
