Monday, March 24, 2008
Ok so I got a chance to download and play the Condemned 2 demo from PSN (I never played Condemned 1) and I have to say… that is a scary fucking game. Remember how Jericho was suppose to be super scary and it ended up just being a mindless shooter that didn’t do any 1 thing [...]

Sunday, February 24, 2008
A friend this week had her laptop give her the dreaded blue screen every time she booted. After a trip to the Theif Geek Squad who told her if would be $1500+ to recover the data from the drive, I gave SpinRite a try first. I booted to the disk and ran a [...]

Thursday, January 10, 2008
Todd Swarthout sent me one of the more interesting reads I’ve gotten a chance to take a look at recently. This is a piece by Robert Cringely over at PBS.org and is exactly 1 year old today, but just as fascinating today as it was a year ago… and IMO, surprisingly insightful. The premise of the article [...]

We have blogged in the past about the desire of the international bankers to create the North American Union (Canada, United States, Mexico) along with a common currency: The Amero. Now you can watch for yourself as the first steps towards creating this reality are set into place, regardless of the outcry against it. First Step: Create [...]

Wednesday, January 2, 2008
Chris Hunkele sent in a mini-review of his experience with Mass Effect so far and I thought it was important to share it with the group because it helped quelled the “I must have that!” fire in me. The Good Player conversation immersion very cool You select responses in conversation which ultimately effect the path of the game Defiantly [...]

Monday, December 31, 2007
NOTE: This post may offend people that are religiously oriented, in the military or otherwise find yourself aligned with the policies of the Bush administration. … a few weeks ago we blogged about the Bilderberg Group and World Domination.

Saturday, December 1, 2007
Kotaku reports on the “gamespot” insider giving the scoops over to Valleywag on what the firing of GameSpot’s leader editor, Jeff Gerstmann, meant to the GS team. More specifically, that over the last few years, the separation of the sales team (that lands the huge advertising deals) and the editorial team (that writes the reviews) [...]

Friday, November 30, 2007
For more drama in the gaming sector, the brains behind the original BioShock game and story, Ken Levine (above), looks like he’s getting the boot from making BioShock 2. Destructoid has the scoop, and the quote isn’t very nice: 2K Boston is still recovering - a good chunk of the BioShock team did not want to [...]

Thursday, November 29, 2007
Laurence Hartje sends in a link to 2 interesting stories (Games Radar, PC Games Hardware) that cover the history of water in games. This is actually something that I have always loved and used as a benchmark to “feel” how real the world was. The first thing I would do is run over and [...]

Thursday, November 15, 2007
The full quote is they would give up their right to vote in the next election for a scholarship. I wonder if that stat is that surprising? Two reasons I can think of this not being that surprising is: A lot of people felt the last 2 elections were bullshit with all the shenanigans that ensued [...]

Sunday, November 4, 2007
Adobe Captivate (Buy $699, Upgrade $299) I met Captivate 3 years ago when it was RoboDemo 5. At that time I thought it was slick as hell to have a piece of software that would essentially capture your screen as screenshots as “slides”, and then capture any mouse or keyboard input as actions done during that [...]
