I’m in love with my Palm Pre
Posted by David Hinkle in Personal on June 22nd, 2009
I’ve never been much of a tech/gadget junkie (outside of gaming, of course), but I started to get kind of pumped for the Palm Pre. Working with so many iPhone users, I would often find myself jealous of what the phone/gaming platform can do, and I started to want something like that for myself. E3 was the icing on the cake, as being around 800 other individuals with iPhones was just too much. So, I took the plunge, and while I think the Pre isn’t rivaling the iPhone in terms of what it can do (yet, anyway), I do think it’s the best phone I’ve ever had.
E3 2009: Score 1 for swine flu
Posted by David Hinkle in Games, Personal on June 8th, 2009
I may be overreacting (Probably. Definitely.), but I did get pretty sick (so far, I’ve been sick for exactly 1 week) during the week of E3. Despite that, I still managed to kick ass and wrote more posts than everyone else at Joystiq. They may have been Nyquil-fueled and incredibly, uh, crazy, but a post is a post, dammit. In your faces, talented coworkers of mine!

My post totally made it onto The Bonus Round
Posted by David Hinkle in Games, Personal on May 27th, 2009
Holy cow, Batman, my post made it onto the latest edition of GT’s The Bonus Round with Geoff Keighley. It’s not a big deal or anything (it isn’t, really), but I still thought it was cool enough to highlight here on my crummy site. Here’s the actual post, if you care to read it.
Another colleague of mine, one Randy Nelson, also got a shoutout on the program, so kudos to him, even though he doesn’t really need it. The guy was totally an editor at PSM, a mag I used to read as a child.
So, this E3 2009 business …

You may have noticed a severe lack in content here lately, and it’s mostly due to E3 stuff. The show is returning to form this year, and Joystiq has been kicking ass in planning what we’re all going to see, and cover, at this year’s show. I’m pretty busy with that because, uh, it’s my job, so you’re likely to see my personal site here take a backseat for a short period.
I’m going to try and get things up here as I can (I’d like to do daily recaps from my own perspective, and not just links to stuff I wrote on Joystiq, but we’ll see how that pans out), but don’t expect a lot over the next 2 or 3 weeks. I suggest you instead follow me on Twitter (@DaveHinkle), as I’ll be on there like crazy during the show.
Punch-Out!! review for Joystiq
Posted by David Hinkle in Games on May 18th, 2009
I wrote a review for the new Punch-Out!! on Wii, which you can read right here. It even includes a video I put together, showing me take on Piston Hondo (yeah, I know, the change is dumb), Aran Ryan, and Soda Popinski. In short: It’s fun, but the same old Punch-Out!! you’ve been playing your whole life.
