    Previewing Magic 2013

    If they reprint Noble Hierarch (still only rumour), then there will be some mad shenanigans with Geist of Saint Traft and the Exalted mechanic. Throw in Ajani, Caller of the Pride and you get yet another turn-4-kill (more like turn 5, but no-one's counting). Turn 1: Forest, tap for Noble...

    After nearly three decades.... I realized something today.

    I didn't think Gandalf had a ring of power, seeing as he is Maiar, not elf, dwarf of man (the races whose rings Sauron had influence over). EDIT: My mistake, on of The Three was given to Gandalf.

    After nearly three decades.... I realized something today.

    Okay, maybe calling I-XIII "sequels" was not accurate, but the point still stands. And I said "some of which got their own sequels" (some meaning more than one), so there was no need to be pedantic and point out the exact number of sequels.

    After nearly three decades.... I realized something today.

    Final Fantasy wasn't very final. Overthinking too much: It isn't final in two senses, the first being that there has been plenty of fantasy written post-Final Fantasy, and the second (and obvious)that there were 14 sequels released, some of which got their own sequels (what exactly is...

    Half-Life 3 Logo Appears on Mystery Website

    Gah, beat me to it. It looks like this HL is going to cross over with Portal, which was already kinda confirmed... Provided the site is real of course. On the other hand, the title "Black Aperture" seems a bit too much of an obvious cross between Black Mesa and Aperture for my liking, so I'm...

    To all you tech savvy folks: I need help troubleshooting my graphics card/game graphics.

    I was afraid so D: Any crude ways I can overcome it (like getting lots of ice packs :D)? But I should be able to run up to DirectX 11. Otherwise I guess that just means I need to buy a proper desktop for gaming (which is shit, I don't have that much expendable cash).

    To all you tech savvy folks: I need help troubleshooting my graphics card/game graphics.

    For some strange reason, in-game frame rates are very hit and miss. Here are the most recent examples: 1) I've been playing League of Legends comfortably at upper-mid detail for about a year, but after a couple of months of not playing it, I come back to find that it struggles to get above 10...

    Poll: Are You Cancelling Your Credit Card over the Steam Hack?

    Shit, I just paid for Portal 2 -_- OT: Nope, haven't used my credit card on Steam for well over a year and didn't save the purchase info.

    Your awesome last words.

    Love the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" reference. OT: In my super fantasized alternate universe future, I'd probably be making some kind of epic self-sacrifice, saying "This is the right thing to do" In reality I'd probably say something mysterious about the possibility of an...

    Trailers: Blizzard DOTA - Announcement Trailer

    League of Legends makes a shitload of money and suddenly everyone is jumping on the DotA/MOBA bandwagon. Though I gotta say, I love the little Valve Time reference: "coming soon...ish".

    Your blood is now a different colour...

    My blood is now black. My power is that I can manipulate light. For example, if I want to make a quick getaway, then I can block all light sources in an area and flee in the darkness. Alternatively, I can create bright bursts of light which can blind my foes. I can also bend light around me to...

    BFF Access

    Yeah, I've been meaning to start a thread like this. I understand that 50% of gamers are female, so the demographic is kinda there, but I don't know anyone who would want to be told what's "hip" by two bimbos anyway. Not to mention that the ad goes for WAY TOO LONG. But seriously, can't they...

    Best Free/Free-to-play game you've played

    InB4 TF2... Oh, wait... InB4 League of Legends... damnit! Though, I would warn you that League of Legends has the shittiest community you're likely to find outside CoD and YouTube. That being said, it's still a whole lot of fun.
