    288: 15 Minutes of Minecraft

    I avoided talking about SMP because I think that single-player Survival mode really represents the default game experience, but I agree that much Love and Belonging can be found amongst other players. Excepting griefers, of course.

    7th Annual Day of the Ninja

    Today (and every December 5) is the Day of the Ninja. The perfect excuse to dress in black, hide in corners, and not talk to anyone. So like Friday night at the Goth club, basically, except with swords. What will you be doing to celebrate? I'm gonna watch Michael Dudikoff movies.

    BioWare "Surprised" by Mainstream Success of Dragon Age

    The party members in Dragon Age: Origins are far more articulate, interesting and capable than real-life players would be in an MMO.

    $100 Gift Card

    The new Dream Theater is kind of a let down. The first track in particular reeks of lame. I love Dream Theater too so it pains me to say this.

    211: Junktown Dog

    The end of the film very strongly implies the same thing.

    Best Of The Worst Of

    The biggest disappointment for me has been Hellgate: London. I somehow expected more than Diablo loot tables with a layer of Kill/Collect Quests on top. I bought it, played it for about a week, and haven't touched it since. No way am I enticed to actually pay a subscription fee.

    130: Rhapsody

    I don't think it's such a black and white issue as you suggest. I think it's a huge fluffy gray area, with a thin dark border and a tiny white nougat center. Like a candy bar. QuestBar. Now contains 25% more Wolf.

    130: Rhapsody

    Agreed, although there are plenty of people who will do the damn quest without actually reading the quest text too, relying on the summary or quest tracker to show them what to do. I think the overall formulaic nature of quests becomes much more apparent when you compare hundreds or even...

    dingrats: "Just Loot It"

    Using the word Yahtzee in the same paragraph as any reference to that mess is an insult to Yahtzee, the Yahtzee game, Hasbro, Milton Bradley, Edwin S. Lowe and E. William DeLaittre.

    Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed

    It is somehow appropriate that a game about sneaking around and stabbing people should be reviewed on the Day of the Ninja. Awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zPy1AgMvE8

    Zero Punctuation: Clive Barker's Jericho

    You didn't like being able to kick all your enemies off cliffs into the conveniently placed spike racks?
