As a youngster, I was a computer, not video, gamer. While my family wouldn’t dream of having a console in house back in the 80s (”It’ll burn out the TV tube!”), a computer for their aspiring nerd-progeny was A-OK. The Commodore 64 was, pound for pound, the best game machine on the market. One of [...]

Yesterday was educational. I pitted my newest Warmachine army build up once against The Legion of Everblight (ugh) and twice against Cryx (finally!). The less said about the former the better (Shredders are fucking gross and I underestimated them greatly), but the latter games were very interesting.
We decided that our first match would [...]

A truly impressive blitz of [...]

I’ve finished GTA IV, as I’ve mentioned. I’ve played through the story level of LEGO Indiana Jones; I’m still working through the Free Play, but It hasn’t really grabbed me. Its fun, but after the intensity of GTA…LEGO Indy is not really holding my attention.
So, I need a new game to break [...]

Remember when I said that I had thrown off the shackles of the flu that had consigned me to the W.C. for 24 hours? Well, make that an additional 48. Hubris brought me so low the next day that I didn’t even want to get out of bed except to move from bed [...]

The fact that I haven’t posted in a while falls squarely on the shoulders of Niko Bellic. I have been spending most of my geek-time hanging around in Liberty City, following Niko’s descent through the underworld of that New York-esque city.
