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
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!
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 […]
1Up Pulls Through
Over dinner on this fine sunday…day, my lovely wife pointed out a very enlightening article to me. It is 1Up’s examination of the similarities between the launch of the PS2 back in 2000 and the PS3 just a few short months ago. You should definitely read the full thing, but I will point out some […]
Bad News for Comic Movies
In our Casting Call Inquisition a few weeks ago, I voted for the Wonder Woman movie simply because Joss Whedon was writing and directing it. Thankfully the movie only got 2 out of 20 votes in our poll, as the news is now out that Whedon is off the job entirely! This is absolutely devastating, […]
God's Instant Idiot Machine
This week’s Random Encounter comes to you solely because it snowed a half an inch in about 1 hour’s time this afternoon in Maryland. Trapped in such weather, be sure to arm yourself with delicious meats, so as to fling them at other survivors in hopes that the Ninjar…Polinja…Polar Bearinjas forsake you for a more protein […]
Inq. of the Week: Pick your Poison
Last week’s poll showed that most people are anticipating a Game of Thrones TV Show, while Wheel of Time, Watchmen, Wonder Woman, and NGE all tied for second. We’re certainly hoping that all of them turn out excellent! This week’s Inquisition is about choosing your flaws with your gifts, what would you accept in order […]
Burning Regions and Wasted Content
WoW Insider has a nice article about what the (pre-expansion) instance bosses are up to now that they have become in almost all senses useless and unneccesary, and they offer up some basic suggestions for Blizzard to make them relevant again. It is really a huge shame that the end-game content millions of people have […]
Spoils to the Traveler
I speak to you now on a laptop, in front of a dormant desktop monitor, that is currently piggybacking off of a generous (read: ignorant) neighbor’s wireless. There is a mug of milk laden with oreo residue to my left, and a distraught/disorganized mid-unpacking catastrophe desk beneath it all. Our internet evolves sometime at the […]
The Flagellation of the Artist
Really the end of a series here, recounting my New Years Resolutions, there was actually a discussion with Abekkus (Abe for short, though that’s not his name…) about precisely how self-referential this should get. I decided to keep it on the mild side and go with a tastey quote for your taste buds. Bonus points to […]
