The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Review

1

If you haven't played either Morrowind or Oblivion allow me to discuss them briefly.  Both were massive worlds populated with characters that approximated real people as much as the technology of their times would allow.  They allowed an unprecedented level of role playing through the diversity of their races and worlds, and the latent racial ...

Apparently you need “readers” in order to be credited with discovering a newsworthy item

Some of you may remember my triumphant return to angry blogging from a little over three weeks ago. We laughed, we cried, we speculated -- so imagine my surprise when I awoke this morning and checked in on the Tweety Box to find a post from the good folks at PC Gamer that looked like this:   Talk ...

A mid-week haiku for Nintendo

Glasses-free 3D! Thank you, early adopters. Oops, forgot this bit.

Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. Also, a LucasArts job opening!

Well, this is a little awkward. It's been a while, I know, but I thought it might be nice to try to pick up where we left off.  You see, my job sent me out of the warm embrace of urban living for the summer months, forcing me into a land bereft of not just gaming, ...

Angry gamers are ruining gaming?

That's right folks, apparently the Community Manager for Treyarch, Josh Olin, believes that the "negativity" coursing through the veins of the video game world is bad for gaming innovation.  Here's a full quote, from an article over at Nowgamer.com: Personally, as a community manager who lives in the media or social media world every day, I ...

A Nerd’s Quest for the Elder Scrolls

Found via Kotaku, this little cartoon pretty much sums up the average Elder Scrolls fanboy.  I'll admit, I'm one of them, as I've been playing Oblivion almost non-stop of late.

Repent: I agree with Activision! The end must be nigh!

2

Before anyone gets too worried, I still loathe Activision, Bobby "Prince Douche" Kotick*, and all that they stand for. So what, you ask, could anyone from that money-grubbing, cash cow-milking, innovation-stifling, industry-stagnating, shovelware factory of a company have to say that I might agree with?  It starts with this commercial for Call of Duty: Black ...

Uwe Boll! Dolph Lundgren! In the Name of the King 2!

I haven't been too on top of the whole "being angry and then blogging about it" thing lately, so imagine how great it was to find that all the work has been done for me on this one!  I mean, seriously, just look at that headline.  I don't even need to write anything here, do ...

Induced Rage: Rogue Warrior

0

It’s been a bit slow for us on the rage front.  Due to a combination of school work (for me), regular work (for Squid), and the flood of business for his gay escort business (Mack), as well as few games or scandals to get excited about, we haven’t had a great deal to provide you, ...
