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 […]

Some April's Fools, some Not.

April 4, 2006 by Bartoneus

A pair of teenage girls in Ohio are facing charges for placing golden wrapping paper covered boxes around their hometown designed like the famous question-mark boxes from Super Mario Bros. This is great because we are punishing people for our own national insecurities, even when it is revealed that these 16 year old girls were […]

Enter Oblivion

April 3, 2006 by joshx0rfz

Enter Oblivion and welcome the dearth of posts it brings. Enter not 3rd person, you will realize how foolish and insipid your character looks when he moves! Fear the horse, for it is slow and unwieldy. Enter not 3rd person whilst riding upon thy horse, you will notice again how foolish and insipid your character […]

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 […]

2006 Game Developers Choice Awards

March 23, 2006 by Bartoneus

Here is a quick article talking about the results, which features a very surprising sweep by my favorite game lately, Shadow of the Colossus.  This is not a shock to me, as Colossus has managed to be one of the most impressive games I’ve ever played.  It features very innovative and fun gameplay, as you journey from […]

Some disgusting comic news from teh boingboing

March 19, 2006 by spankleberry

Marvel Comics: stealing our language Marvel Comics is continuing in its bid to steal the word “super-hero” from the public domain and put it in a lock-box to which it will control the key. Marvel and DC comics jointly filed a trademark on the word “super-hero.” They use this mark to legally harass indie comic […]
