More bitching about WoW (and other MMORPGS)

February 28, 2006 by Dave

We must be edgy. We used “bitch” in two post titles today alone. Anyway, Ralph Koster, an executive in the MMORPG industry, posted a hilarious list of things that can be learned from MMORPGs. “Intelligent beings who have civilizations and languages of their own are generally evil and should be slain.” (link via the directory […]

After this comes the Batman/Battle Pope crossover

February 25, 2006 by Dave

Frank Miller, creator of the seminal Dark Knight Returns and who recently got more press thanks to the Sin City movies, was in a lot of the papers due to his next project Holy Terror Batman. The gist is that Batman is going to fight Osama Bin-Laden. Miller originally announced the project after 9-11, but […]

Chamberlin! Stop Your Whining!

February 25, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

After over twenty years, Jim Henson Productions has given the go-ahead to make a sequel to The Dark Crystal. Interestingly, the production will be directed by none other than Genndy Tartakovsky, known for his Cartoon Network work on Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and of course the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series.

Magnatune: They Are Not Evil

February 24, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

I discovered an interesting little site recently called Magnatune. It’s a place where you can buy (legally!) music online. As is typical with these types of sites, you can listen to a streamed version of the music you’re considering buying before actually plunking down any money.

WoW Gone Bad and The Dissapearing Phantom

February 22, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

There’s an interesting Gamasutra article on the lessons WoW is teaching. It’s worth a read, though if you like WoW, you’ll probably hate the article. In other news… It’s official! The Phantom is dead and Infinium Labs is circling the drain. They’re still desperately clinging to life and are trying to bring their Phantom Lapboard […]

Lifeblood for the PSP

February 22, 2006 by Bartoneus

Sometime last year, an epic battled ravaged gamers everywhere as they heavily debated whether Sony’s PSP or the Nintendo DS would be the handheld to have. Some people got both, some people didn’t get either, but I eventually caved to the PSP’s delicious screen and sumptuous audio aspirations. At this point neither handheld boasted a […]

February 18, 2006 by spankleberry

I had read this before, but I wanted to read it again, and gee, didn’t I deserve a treat for finishing my schoolwork ahead of time? yes I did.
