Destroying Your Childhood, One Game at a Time

February 9, 2007 by Dave

So last week I asked for requests on games that I could trash for game design reasons, and I got a pretty decent list of the usual suspects. So here we go:

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 […]

World of Warcraft Action Figures

February 8, 2007 by Bartoneus

DC Comics is branching out their action figure department, which as they announced recently will include World of Warcraft action figures.  Thank god, is all I can say, as now when you’re simply forced to go on that family vacation to the middle of no-where with absolutely not contact to the internet, you can continue […]

Fallout 3 is in Good Hands

February 8, 2007 by Bartoneus

The Escapist has an excellent retrospective on our friends at Bethesda Softworks, which looks back at their entire history as well as what’s in store for their future. You should already know, but Bethesda Softworks is the company behind the Elder Scrolls series, most notably of late the award winning fourth game in the series, […]

This is How Wii Roll

February 7, 2007 by Bartoneus

I will take the beginning opportunity to explain to the un-educated exactly what a “boyfriend bomb” is.  If you’ve already figured it out, then consider this an online IQ test and you’ve just scored above einstein but just below those cavemen on those Geico commercials.  They’re stylin’ dudes…   Boyfriend Bomb (v) – 1.) The act of […]

Supreme Commander Demo – Get it Now!

February 6, 2007 by Bartoneus

If you haven’t heard of this game yet, it is a new RTS game coming out later this month from Gas Powered Games (the people who brought us Dungeon Seige) that promises to be the revolution of the genre.  It features (very) large and small scale battles with mechs, tanks, and ships (maybe planes?).  The […]

YouTube of the Week: If Only the Doctor Carried a Wooden Badger Edition

February 6, 2007 by Dave

A scene from the first season of the newest Doctor Who series, with the Dalek’s dialogue replaced with the French guys from Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail. Speaking of which, check out this DM of the Rings comic about Monty Python quoting, and be sure to read the comics for some really funny […]

Inq. of the Week: They Have a Plan

February 5, 2007 by Dave

Last week we asked about what you would give up in order to get some powers and recognition. By a wide majority, most people said that they’d easily give up having a home planet if it meant being a superman. Coming in second, people said that they wouldn’t mind playing second-banana to Mr. Potter. This […]
