I have decided, in all my infinite wisdom, to write a series of articles about Texas Hold-Em. A lot has been said about the “Cadillac of Poker” over the years, and many poker professionals are often happy to write about what they know. So why should you listen to what I have to say? Easy. […]

More Sony Shennanigans
Oh, the fun just doesn’t stop with the Sony Corporation these days! An update on the Sony rootkit copy protection, regarding the offical uninstall proceedure as provided by Sony as told by the guy who was the originial discoverer of this wonderful corporate ‘fuck you!’: “Without exaggeration I can say that I’ve analyzed virulent forms […]
Goldmine in Virtual Reality
The BBC is reporting that a young investor who spent £13,700 worth to buy a virtual island has recouped his expenses and is making a profit after only a few months!
When Sony Attacks
A really interesting article on joystiq about the PS3’s copy protection is available. Apparently, it’s a system to prevent used games and pirated copies from playing on the system. From the patent application: “A device and method for protection of legitimate software against used software and counterfeit software in recording media… A specific title code […]
A highly thematic game
World of Warcraft: The Board Game will be released soon, followed by the World of Warcraft Collectible Card Game. We already had a Warcraft board game and rpg, but apparently the universe changed dramatically after Warcraft 3, as a new fad swept through the citizens of the two continents: standing around and giving quests.

The Game (a rant)
I feel that it is necessary to point out that most people who play games don’t have the same experiences with them that I do. It started during high school and escalated insanely into my college years, when it became clear that I had friends that were very “special”.
Somewhere, Over the Rainbow
In a day that will live in infamy, Idoicy has struck a terrific blow of ignorance to Reason and Intellect. The Kansas State Board of Education voted 6-4 to allow science students in public schools to hear materials critical of evolution in biology classes. That’s bad enough. Hemmoraging these poor kids’ futures for some dumbass […]
Sony's Comedy of Errors
“If you think things can’t get worse it’s probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.” Oh, the Sony mess just keeps getting better and better. Not only does the DRM check up on you to make sure you’re making nice through the use of a Rootkit. Not only can the Sony DRM be used to […]
Twilight Imperium: From a Winner's Perspective!
I am sure that those of you who are reading this have more than likely read the reviews submitted by Dennis and Dave. If you have not, then you should before diving yourself any further into this materpiece! They both provide good insights and thoughts into the game mechanics and rules system.
Twilight Imperium Review: Smaller, Less Detailed, and More Postive
I bought Twilight Imperium based on my love of big epic games, such as Game of Thrones (also from Fantasy Flight) and a desire to buy a game as a form of escapism from my mind-numbing, short-lived experience in sales hell. I’ve since played it twice, and enjoyed both experiences, but there is something about […]
