Welcome to the countdown of Mike's Top 100 Video Games of All-Time!Things to remember:1. The list will only include games that I have played. If it's not on this list, I probably didn't play it. I've done a lot of brainstorming for this list and I'm going to be surprised if I missed on that I wanted to include but didn't.2. The games on this list are all from 2009 or earlier, with the exception

Hi there, it's been a while. Remember when I said this blog was going into retirement? Remember when I said I was going to count down my Top 100 Video Games of All-Time? You don't? Well I assure you I said that I was going to make said list as the last post of this blog before it goes into retirement. I had a projected post time of whenever my spring break was, which was about 3 weeks ago.The

Here we are with Part 2 of MPFW's Best of 2009 Awards! Today includes the pro wrestling and video game award portions. I'm going to keep it simple for pro wrestling awards this year and just do wrestler of the year and the top 5 live shows of the year. On the other side of that will be the top 5 Xbox Live Arcade games and top 5 Xbox 360 games. I don't want to keep you waiting since I know you can

Welcome all to the first half of the MPFW Best of 2009 Awards. You may have noticed that this is a different set-up than last year with only two parts compared to three from last year. Today's awards include my miscellaneous awards, my top moments of the year, and my picks for the top 5 movies of the year. Tomorrow will include awards for pro wrestling and video games. No time to fool around in

With the announcement of Dragon Gate coming to the states, I was finally able to get the chance to see them live at The Arena in

My February 7th gift to you all is a new MPFW! Welcome to number 33. I will always remember the number 33 for being the channel number for Nickelodeon. For you, it's probably different. This time I got my favorite commercials from Super Bowl XLIII, video game notes, a review of The Maw on the Xbox Live Arcade, DVD reviews of both nights of CHIKARA's "Tag World Grand Prix 2008", and a review of

Welcome to "Mike's Place For Words" number 32, the highest numbered MPFW yet! I want to keep the unimportant chat to a minimum this time, so my apologies if this blog feels half-assed. I'm sure reading this will be better than the controls in the Resident Evil 5 demo, though. Before I get to the live review of CHIKARA "Revelation X", I got a contest winner to announce!The Contest Winner is...

Hello once again. Time for 26. The other night I had a dream that this blog was mentioned on Attack of the Show and I got 6,000 hits in 1 minute. Anyways, I am finally able to get to a Q&A I wanted to do for a long time. I got a nice collection of questions from my friends and wanted to do something fun after working through Black Friday weekend, a bunch of homework, and even more retail work.

Hello once again. MPFW returns with number 25! I got a quick congrats to Barack Obama, notes about Rock Band 2's 20 free songs, a review of Quantum of Solace, and a review of the awesome Fallout 3.

Yours truly was a guest on Episode 4!

Hello all. Here's number 17! With school and work taking up most of my time, as well as the temptation of my Xbox 360, I don't know if I'll have time to writing these as frequently. If I do post them, they'll be short. So here is a review of Strong Bad Episode I for the WiiWare and the new Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie.Strong Bad Episode I reviewAfter two months of delays, Strong Bad's Cool

Time for Sweet 16 of "Mike's Place For Words" Since I've had my Xbox 360 online, I've been having a field day with the Xbox Live Arcade games.

I went to New York city for ROH "Death Before Dishonor VI" and made a few stops along the way. Keep scrolling if you just want to get to the results.Trip to New York CitySince I was to NYC, I figured I'd make a day out of it and do a little sight-seeing and drag my brother along. The train getting to NYC was about 90 minutes. I've been on this train before so I know pretty much what's going on.

Once again it's time for another CHIKARA show at the former ECW Arena. I got to see my pal Yolanda again and one of her pals. I guess the crowd was about 300 or so. I'm not good at estimating. Before the show I picked up the DVD's of "The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence" from season finale weekend last year, "Passion and Persistence" since my brother hasn't seen it yet and "Young Lions Cup VI

This past Sunday I made the 70 mile, 1 hour 35 minute drive to Hellertown, PA for the third (and more than likely final) time for CHIKARA. I wanted to go to last year's Young Lions Cup, but I didn't, so this year I made it. Also, this was the final show to be held in the American Legion Hall in Hellertown. Oh the memories. I went with my brother as usual and was able to sit with Joe Negron and

I have you right where I want you! HA!Don't know what that was about. Just wanted something different than "Hey friends!" With that out of the way, I got a new piece of artwork, 2 ROH DVD reviews and a quick Toki Tori review. I was hoping to see The Incredible Hulk today, but I didn't get around to it. Later I go to CHIKARA's "Young Lions Cup VI Night 3", so expect a live report on Monday. Also

I had quite a night at ROH on Saturday night. This was the first ROH show I've been to since "Glory By Honor VI Night 1", one of the shows featuring Mitsuharu Misawa, but I still haven't bought that one on DVD yet. Speaking of DVD's, I bought 8 DVD's to get caught up on all the current ROH stuff and they are, "Man Up", "Rising Above", "Final Battle 2007", "Proving Ground", "Sixth Anniversary Show

Hey Friends! I'm quite late as to typing one of these, but ah well. I got a lot of quick reviews to do here and I'm going to try out a new format for my blogs. If you couldn't tell I'm going to start numbering them (with Roman numerals) and such. I got two ROH DVD reviews, an Indiana Jones review, No More Heroes and Dr. Mario Online Rx reviews, and finally some notes from Wizard World Philly!

Hi friends. Time for me to sit down and give my thoughts on the latest CHIKARA show from Philadelphia, "Grit and Glory!" I wanted to go to the Hellertown show the night before, but I ended up having to work. The ride there was pretty bad because it was raining pretty hard, but I got there safely. I took both of my brothers this time and also Chris from York, PA was at this show. Before the show
