While waiting for a stupid game to download I was paging through some old reviews. In particular Portal 2’s review. I boldly assert in that review that the ending theme of Portal 1 is the best ending theme to anything ever. Well after Portal 1 and 2… I played and reviewed a game called RAGE. It too has an excellent
Prequel. The less cool version of Snake. A franchise beyond its expiration date. Cross-console cash-in. Nothing about the “aura” of this game is right. To ruin a sweet quote from David Carradine: This is me at my most subjective. Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. Twenty dollars spent to pre-order it and download two hours before midnight on Tuesday my time
Well I woke up this morning to a shocking IndieGoGo page in my feed: A ShaqFu reboot. I have no words. Here’s their fancy widget. Proof that I’m not crazy (or lying to you).
I am not a fan of Minecraft. That’s putting it lightly. Let me rephrase: I fucking despise the piece of shit game. It’s all the worst parts of an MMO, with deliberately bad graphics passed off as nostalgia, and a community comprised largely of children and auts.

Here’s a little bit of noise to get you through your all too short break at work.
Now that I have your attention. I just purchased a Steam game called Drunken Robot Pornography. FPS+Shmup with bad voice acting. I haven’t played it yet but it’s probably bad. But it was on sale and I was weak. Damn you Gaben.
I’m not sure I mentioned it on my site but a friend pointed out Natural Selection 2 to me about a year ago. It’s a pretty solid sci-fi shooter with some of the best community generated content I’ve seen on Steam. News to me… it’s becoming a hit on the professional gaming circuit too. I just stumbled on the championship
I was a fledgling teenager. My hometown was Middle-of-fuck-nowhere-istan. Loneliness was my prevailing emotion and I lacked friends because I had long hair, a high IQ, and no social skills. Immersion in RPGs and video games were my escape. I had read magazines (yeah, not the internet… weird) about a particular game for a literal decade. The game, Lunar the
I’ve had nightmares the last few nights. Not my typical night terrors about darkness and demons or anything like that. I just keep waking up with this anxiety over some of the things I didn’t get to mention during my panel on Friday. I have three big issues I keep going over in my head. In particular Assassin’s Creed has
