Critical-Hits pwns Infinite Crisis

May 11, 2006 by Dave

Watch as we ramble our way through DC’s mega-crossover event, years in the making. We assume that you’ve read Infinite Crisis, so beware of spoilers if that matters to you. Our reviewers are: Bartoneus: Buys primarily Marvel. “The Civil War open was 3x more refined then the entire run of Infinite Crisis. That’s right, that […]

E3 gives me Glee in my Wii

May 10, 2006 by Dave

The best part of the new name of the system is all the puns it generates. So I am what you could call a lapsed video game player. While I own both an Xbox and a Gamecube (and once owned a PS2), I own less than 10 games for each. The games I play the […]

Wal-Mart – Smiley Face of DOOM (albeit with no violence)

April 12, 2006 by joshx0rfz

So, I was looking at some site (probably slashdot or boingboing, where I find most of the stuff I find interesting) and ran across this article on Wal-Mart and the influence it has on the gaming industry. It’s pretty well written and I recommend reading it. Here is a brief synopsis – “Big corporation bad!”. […]

Prison Camps Not Just for Scientologists Any More!

April 4, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

Holy crap, is this documentry on so-called WWASP camps hideously disturbing. The documentary is very well done, though of course it betrays its bias (the evil music during the times when the talking heads of the WWASP speak is particularly amusing). I’m inclined to believe this at face value, however; it’s far, far too similiar […]

South Dakota and the Idiots It Breeds

March 28, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

A hilarious article that does an excellent job pointing out the flaws and hipocracy of those idiotic Pro Lifers. It comes with an amazing set of links in the article that illustrate it well (especially the whole ‘Pro Life Protesters show up in abortion clinics’ article). Defintely worth a read.

A Chill Wind Blows

March 28, 2006 by Bartoneus

If you haven’t heard already, Starcraft : Ghost is being delayed, with the reason given that Blizzard wants to re-evaluate the capabilities of the next-gen consoles. This should seem fishy to you already, as Ghost was originally announced as a next-generation game, back when the X-Box was fighting for its share of Sony’s market. While […]

Gameplay to the Forefront

March 24, 2006 by Bartoneus

The Experimental Gameplay Project has announced a new competition they are hosting, where people are to create a game in two weeks time. Their site already hosts many such games, where gameplay and innovation are favored over licenses and advertisement. A few that I would suggest immeadiately are Particle Suck and Tower of Goo. Both […]

The Politicians Have Eyes

March 10, 2006 by Bartoneus

There is a Gamespot news article detailing Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton’s latest attempts to stab at the heart of the evil, youth-eroding industry that is Video Games. For a long time they have been set on finding some way to legally prohibit the distribution, if not the very creation, of violent video games in […]

POWERS: Psychotic

March 8, 2006 by spankleberry

Powers Graphic Novel # 9: Collecting Volume 2 Issues 7-12 What can I say about Powers? It’s one of the best written comics I know of, or at least one of my favorites, and certainly the only currently ongoing comic I actively seek out.

alan moore interview

March 7, 2006 by spankleberry

As I was getting thrown out of the store (“meh it’s 6pm and we’re closing.” gits) I saw an A3 (like 11×17 but foreign) local magazine featuring a long in depth interview with Alan Moore, the genius shaman of comic books- most notable movie translations for the illiterate: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, […]
