TOKYO GAME SHOW 2015: We Didn’t Go, Here’s a Bunch of Coverage Anyway!
It’s that time of year again! Remember when people actually used to look forward to Tokyo Game Show? Was it just me? Does anybody actually know this exists or keep up with it anymore? IS THE JAPANESE GAME DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY STILL RELEVANT TO ANYONE OUTSIDE OF WEEBS AND PEOPLE THAT AREN’T WEEBS BUT LIKE WEEB […]
Con Report: Classic Game Fest 2015
We had a great time at last year’s Classic Game Fest but nothing could have prepared us for this year’s edition. More arcade machines, more guests, more panels, more tournaments, more crazy things to buy… it was incredibly overwhelming, somehow even moreso than last year’s con.
No Witty Title Needed: Just Play SNOIC GENERATONS Immediately
I had an overly long, more-than-slightly verbose intro to this article written out and, right before hitting the publish button, scrapped it. Just completely deleted it. This is one of those situations in which the game just needs to speak for itself. Readers of the printed version of Space City Nerd probably at least know the basics […]
BREAK TEH SPEEL: Going Fast and Dying Lots in DURNGEN RUNNAR
If you’re looking to spend the weekend with a punishing action game along the lines of I Wanna Be The Guy or Super Meat Boy you need to give DURNGEN RUNNAR a go.

Con Report: Classic Game Fest 2014
I watched a child play what was apparently his first FPS game yesterday. It was Duke Nukem 3D, and he was playing it on one of those now-gaudy looking iMac G3s that were all the rage in the late 90’s. He even was even using a one-button mouse and, to make things even crazier, I […]
STEAM SUMMER SALE 2014 MEGAPOST – Gaben Don’t Surf
IT’S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN. Literally everything on Steam has ridiculous discounts and you’ve only got a little bit of money to spend and you don’t know what to get but holy crap you’ve just GOT to have Spintires even though you know absolutely nothing about it and your cart is full and you need […]
SUMMER CONTEST: RPG MAKER GAME JAM
Between the Humble Weekly Bundle and last weekend’s big Steam sale we’re sure a lot of you picked up a copy of RPG Maker and are wondering what to do with it. Never fear though, we’re running a summer long competition to see who can make the best RPG! Get creative and make something the […]

ROAD TO COMICPALOOZA 2014: SCN Talks to Voice Actress Claire Hamilton
If you watched anime back in the 90’s you probably were at least a little familiar with MAPS (which has one of the most hype openings ever) and the OVA adaptation of Tekken, both released by now-defunct hometown heroes ADV Films. Claire Hamilton played major roles in both of those shows as well as other […]
