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 [...]

My favourite Frank Booth line may refer to “a bullet from a fucking gun”, but to me, a true love letter is the kind of thing that my favourite game developer is delivering to appreciative fans this September. Read on and all shall be revealed:

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. It hasn’t completely taken over my life yet, but its coming a [...]

Oh woe. I am just a poor gamer trying to participate in some wholesome online shenanigans over Xbox live. Alas, I cannot connect. For the last 3 days, I have received an error that the IP connect failed.
Well, I’ve been blaming Bell Sympatico for this. I figured that this was being caused by Sympatico’s [...]

Taking a two-week vacation allows me to break from the usual sleep/office/family routine and replace it with a slightly less onerous sleep/housework/family schedule. I kid, I kid. I’m really feeling the need for a breather after the last couple of nutso months at work. This vacation is especially [...]

Found, an unsigned letter from a member of the band Gütbücket, apparently to the other members of the band. Those who are familiar with the relationships of the band members might speculate that the letter was written by drummer Lars. Gütbücket’s management denies the veracity of the letter.
You decide:
Guys, I’m worried about the band. I’m [...]

I have to echo the comments that Chris has made about Rock Band. The game is addictive. I don’t own it myself, I’ve only played it in my role as a member of Güt Bücket, but I have found that, like Chris…the more I play it, the more I want to play it. [...]
