Christian Music Fan

Here at b5 we’ve made a conscious decision to stay away from religious topics. It’s been hard, because we often get approached for some kickass religious ideas. Our perspective has been that we don’t want to talk about religious issues unless we can cover all perspectives, which would be incredibly hard to do.
However, topics in […]

Re:Retro Interviews James Kochalka

While only a few days old, Re:Retro’s Jonic Linley has scored an interview with gaming and music god James Kochalka.

Most well known for his work on American Elf, the sketchbook diaries of his life, James is also a musician and was a great interview subject for Jonic.
Here’s a sample from this down-to-earth interview:
When did you […]

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

I will happily admit that I am not a celebrity watcher. I mean sure I’ll read the titles on the newstands at the grocery story but that’s about as far as it goes for me. But even I’m aware of all the news around Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, including their new little baby. And […]

Re:Retro

Ingrid is still hard at work filling out her video games channel, and here is her latest addition.

Written by Jonic Linley (I guess this was one of the secret blogs he mentioned in his interview this week!), Re:Retro is all about classic gaming. Sonic, Mario, Utopia (for Intellivision… You ARE going to blog about Utopia, […]

Laguna Beach Contest

I realized today that we don’t do nearly enough plugging of some of the great stuff going on at our blogs. I mean, crazy stuff. Like at MTV Reality World, where they’re having a great little contest.
MTV was kind enough to donate a handful of books for the contest, which is, in essence, a nice […]

The Ironic Gamer

The Game Rag is one of the best gaming sites out there. Written by Nathan Smart, it’s like The Onion… But for gaming!
So cool.
We (and by “we”, I mean Ingrid) managed to hook Nathan into a 13 year contract to write a vaguely satirical look at gaming, titled The Ironic Gamer.
What’ll happen when his […]

Blogger Interview: Jonic Linley

This week we have the treat of delving into the wild and captivating mind of one Jonic Linley. A true humorist and Renaissance man, he…well, I think his interview speaks for itself! (Plus, he uses the word ‘fortnight’. I love that word.)
Enjoy getting to know Jonic!

How I Love Adventuring

Back in the old days of gaming, every video game was kind of an adventure game, at least in my family. We’d play Intellivision racing games like we were “collecting” trees, running over pedestrians (not that you could), etc.
These days, the Adventure genre has matured. Dramatically. In some ways good, in other ways bad. b5’s […]

Aging Fabulous

Our next blog to launch is one that I’m really excited about. Not because I need it, really, but because I love it when we can launch blogs that are smart, funny and support real people in their real lives.
Aging Fabulous is written by new b5 blogger SP Bragg, and is all about how freaking […]

Going Back to the 80s

You ever forget to launch a blog? Yeah, me too. Just before Christmas we did an internal launch of a new blog around the 80s. We were enjoying it so much internally (as you’ll see from all the comments) that we completely forgot it hadn’t been launched yet.
Yeah, silly us.
So, we’ve decided to let everyone […]
