The Christmastide Cometh

December 21, 2006 by Bartoneus

With Christmas a scant amount of days away, everyone pretty much starts the slow process of stopping everything else they were doing.  The process begins sometime in August, when the first leaf decides it can resist the foul temptations of gravity no longer, or it simply falls for the grass’ endless tauntings of free booze […]

For a Great Cause (and Great Justice!)

November 29, 2006 by Bartoneus

I hope that the Thanksgiving break was marvelous for all, and that everyone’s holidays are splendid and joyfilled.  What I wanted to share today was that I was very touched by Gabe’s (from Penny Arcade) post today about their charity Child’s Play.  Please take a moment to check out the site, it is a charity […]

Today's Experiment… Failed

November 19, 2006 by Dave

If I had realized that Philcon was going to suck so much, I probably wouldn’t have gone. And if I had realized when I first agreed to go this year that the Wii launch was on the same weekend, I probably wouldn’t have gone. But as it stood, I ended up in Philadelphia, in unfamiliar […]

PS3 Violence

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!

From the "WTF" department…

November 2, 2006 by Dave

As reported on Ogrecave, Games Workshop has decided to shut down its official forums. They recommend typing the name of your favorite army into a search engine to find new ones. Of course, you won’t be able to find official answers to rules questions, or talk directly with game designers, or give feedback to anyone […]

Get it while the Gettin's good!

November 2, 2006 by Bartoneus

Apparently Valve and Steam are being quite generous, and I wanted to share it with everyone now so they have a chance to take advantage of it.  For a limited time, between today and Sunday November 5th, you can log onto Steam and download the mod The Ship for free!  We talked about it a […]

A Little Rumor Control

November 1, 2006 by Bartoneus

Though I will be posting this week’s Random Encounter later this evening, I wanted to address an uncontrolled rumor that tons of bloggers seem to be rampantly throwing around. A post on EvilAvatar started stories circling around that EB Games was going out of its way to cancel E-bay auctions of pre-order PS3’s, but thankfully […]

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
