New Tech: Skin-Stretch Feedback
074 days
When I have the choice, I’m usually a PC gamer simply because I prefer a mouse and keyboard to a controller or, heaven forbid, jumping up and down in front of a camera. Still, there are many things a controller can do better than the classic keyboard/mouse combo. A good example would be variable speed. ...
What does Doube Fine’s Kickstarter success really mean for gaming? [UPDATED]
099 days
As I write this post, Double Fine's Kickstarter project has over 47,000 backers who have combined to pledge over $1.6 million to fund the Double Fine Adventure -- an old-school point-and-click adventure in the spirit of Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island -- and accompanying documentary by 2 Player Productions. It really shouldn't come as much of ...
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Review

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 ...

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?
0467 days
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!
2522 days
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 ...
