My Halo 3 Beta Impressions

May 23, 2007 by joshx0rfz

I got into the multiplayer beta the way most people did: by purchasing Crackdown (a very fun game I might add). While there was a little hitch on the initial day of download I was very impressed by the download rate when everything was fixed and up and running. There is no intro movie, however, […]

Stick it to 'em MSNBC – about damn time

April 24, 2007 by joshx0rfz

Jack Thompson gets it for his ridiculous comments on the VT shootings. Linky Edit by Bartoneus: It looks like he’s getting called out on his BS by the San Francisco Chronicle too, and I imagine more to come.

Shorter boardgames becoming more common?

April 5, 2007 by joshx0rfz

Link to article courtesy . The article isn’t exactly meaty in its details or relevant discussion of the topic but it brings up a point I’ve never thought of – namely that of what is a good game for a family? I generally find myself unwilling to engage in long games for fear of boredom […]

Supreme Commander – the Real Review

February 21, 2007 by joshx0rfz

3/5, 7/10, umm, 2.5 stars out of 4 – whatever scale you want it’s about a C So I acquired Supreme Commander and played through one of the single player campaigns and also started another. I have not tried multiplayer yet so this re-review is based entirely on single player experience. With all that said, […]

Supreme Commander demo review

February 9, 2007 by joshx0rfz

I have downloaded and thoroughly stomped through the demo of Supreme Commander. The demo opens with a decent sci-fi intro movie and soon enough gets into the killing. I played through the campaign demo games first as I like to slowly be introduced to units through a story. I could have jumped right into a […]

November 17, 2006 by joshx0rfz

Just saw this story over on CNN. Apparently (not surprisingly) there have been a string of violent crimes over attempts to nab a PS3. Link to story Pretty damned ridiculous if you ask me!

Newsflash!

October 26, 2006 by joshx0rfz

Your mom jokes are no longer funny! And yes, I know my mom isn’t funny. Feel free to comment! Wikipedia contributes the following wisdom. As can be seen, a clever use of the “your mom” format of the joke can defy this newsflash. A mechanical “your mom” response will from now on be seen as […]

Have no fear – the apocalypse is not nigh

October 25, 2006 by joshx0rfz

Blizzard has pushed back the release date of Burning Crusade to January 2007, for a second I thought the anti-christ was going to be here before I could hit level 70. Can’t join you in heaven God, must run molten core! Linky

About the Author

  • joshx0rfz

    Josh was never born, he is, was and always will be. He is the solution to the Prime Mover dilemma. He plays video games entirely too much and his opinion to knowledge ratio is out of whack. Meaning, too much opinion, not enough knowledge.
