I’ve tried many MMORPGs in my time (ranging from the original Everquest to World of Warcraft) and while most have been amusing for a few hours, none had been able to keep my interest for very long. The game that kept my interest for the longest was Star War Galaxies. The reason? Because they did […]
Game Review: Zendo
As was mentioned previously, I know quite a few game designers that seek to enrich and over-analyze the gaming lives of those around them. One of these game designers has managed to create and successfully market one of the best games I’ve ever played, that game is Zendo.
A Trio of Game Mini-Reviews: Arkham Horror, Mall of Horror, Wits & Wagers
Over the weekend, I got a chance to play a couple games: Arkham Horror, Mall of Horror, and Wits & Wagers. Here’s my thoughts on them.
No Gaming. Skip This Article
This article has no flowery language, no bile to spew, not even the smallest attempt to reconcile it with gaming. But I think it should be publicized anyway, in whatever way possible, simply for the sheer magnitude of vileness. If anyone ever needed any evidence pointing to the inherent evil present in all humanity, that […]
Texas Hold-Em: The Blind Check

Goldmine in Virtual Reality
The BBC is reporting that a young investor who spent £13,700 worth to buy a virtual island has recouped his expenses and is making a profit after only a few months!
When Sony Attacks
A really interesting article on joystiq about the PS3’s copy protection is available. Apparently, it’s a system to prevent used games and pirated copies from playing on the system. From the patent application: “A device and method for protection of legitimate software against used software and counterfeit software in recording media… A specific title code […]
The Game (a rant)
I feel that it is necessary to point out that most people who play games don’t have the same experiences with them that I do. It started during high school and escalated insanely into my college years, when it became clear that I had friends that were very “special”.
Somewhere, Over the Rainbow
In a day that will live in infamy, Idoicy has struck a terrific blow of ignorance to Reason and Intellect. The Kansas State Board of Education voted 6-4 to allow science students in public schools to hear materials critical of evolution in biology classes. That’s bad enough. Hemmoraging these poor kids’ futures for some dumbass […]
