War is Coming

August 9, 2008 by The O

Greetings all, For the past year or so I’ve received monthly newsletter updates on the progress of the upcoming MMORPG Warhammer Online: Age of reckoning.

Johnny Rocketfingers Returns

May 20, 2006 by The O

I found an interesting rpg flash game on ebaums where you play the role of a Johnny Rocketfingers, a drug-using, heat packing stick figure in an apparently decrepid city. While this is apparently a sequel, I have never played the original. Regardless, it doesn’t make a difference since there doesn’t appear to be any references […]

The Good, the Bad, and the L33t

November 16, 2005 by The O

Over the course of the past decade, a new language has evolved out of the midst without warning or regulation. The existence of this language is due mostly to the booming success of the internet and the spawning a new culture of writers, forum gurus, chatroom butterflies, hackers, and computer gaming connoisseurs. In order to […]
