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

YouTube of the Week: Crisis of Infinite Retail Edition

October 24, 2006 by Dave

15 minutes long detailing DC Comic’s Power Girl taking a day off and trying to find another career. Some good subtle DC references in there.

Inq. of the Week: Too Much Game?

October 23, 2006 by Dave

One of the hot posts that’s been flying over the video-gameo-blogo-sphere over the past week is over an article written by a former guild leader in World of Warcraft. In it, he describes how the pressures of running a guild began to take over his life. He gained weight (like in the South Park episode), […]

Dungeon / Coffee Master (Toothpaste for Dinner)

October 22, 2006 by Dave

Toothpaste for Dinner is my favorite webcomic, accomplishing the difficult task of being consistently hilarious on an almost daily basis. He’s not afraid to do nerdy jokes either, as shown above. I’m sure I’ll be showcasing several from his archives, but I highly recommend checking it out. Also, be sure to check out his line […]

Garbage In, Garbage Out

October 21, 2006 by Dave

Game design is like many other creative fields in that there are many ways to approach the creative process that will eventually lead to a game. If it were a science, we’d have programmed a computer to do it, and it would be making all of our games for us. (Though some have theorized that […]

One Step Closer

October 20, 2006 by Bartoneus

Step aside Lan, move over Harry Potter, and watch out Predator, here comes some real-life proof of the theory that things can be made invisible!  The technology hasn’t actually come up to this point yet, but about 5 months ago the team of scientists theorized that they could use a specific cloak to bend microwaves around […]

…And we're back! (But Nextwave isn't)

October 19, 2006 by Dave

We were attacked by server ninjas but drove them off with server pirates. Or was it the other way around? Anyway, we’re back, and while we were down, I started to look at new graphical options for the site. In the process I discovered that you can press Ctrl + to increase the font size […]

LAN Party: Specificity is a Necessity

October 18, 2006 by Bartoneus

No, I’m serious, this actually happened.  The Ochbad depicted here offers more of an excuse then was actually given, not that any was really needed, because we’ve come to expect no less from him.  This isn’t to say that we dislike him for it at all, in fact the hilarity of the situation more then made up […]

YouTube of the Week: Pink Floyd's Frickin' Laser Edition

October 17, 2006 by Dave

(Awesome animation of famous album covers battling it out. Truly some Critical Hits in there. Let’s hope that we can keep doing this feature, even though it’s about to become GooTube)

Inq. of the Week: Nostalgia Reigns

October 16, 2006 by Bartoneus

Spawning from last week’s question about movies and their use of intellectual properties comes a controversial thread on how we should view and criticise older games.  Their graphics suck, the gameplay is elementary, story and characterization are practically non-existant, these games suck!  At least that’s what some people think, other feel that we should look […]

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.
