    Book(s) that would translate well to games.

    The Iliad would make a great game. I mean, it's even set up to be one. There's a bunch of heroes with differing powers, and every so often one of them turns god mode on, starts glowing, and slays a bunch of dudes until his power up wears off. It's all there in the story already, justified and...

    Okay, I thought this was pretty epic. What's your favorite epic Halloween video?

    Daily Drop: Noodle Cake

    ...and I would totally watch the Daily Crowbar.

    Anti-Religious Sentiment in Video Games (have you noticed?)

    But I don't see how any of those things are a parody of any mainstream religion. While a religious group is the main antagonist, the group has more of a feel of a cult writ large (and gone horribly wrong) than any mainstream religion now. Halo, as a series, has some interesting things to say...

    Nostalgia and DOS

    I've got fond memories of Commander Keen and The Lost Vikings, the great but little known platformers of the early 90s.

    Gamers Goatee

    I wouldn't think there would be any female gamers with goatees. It may have something to do with the fact that women don't tend to have facial hair... OT: I don't think it has anything to do with being a gamer, I think that it's just becoming popular at this time. Who knows, though. You might...

    GameStop Employee Gives RapeLay Interview, Gets Fired

    Exactly. Way too many people seem to think that 'freedom of speech' means 'freedom from the consequences of your speech.' In any case, if the gov't had gone after him for what he said, it would have been a violation of his freedom of speech. But businesses have the right to limit what's said by...

    Christian Game Publisher Looks to Walmart for Help

    That second link has to be a parody site. It's just too over-the-top to be real, as well as subtly making fun of what they're espousing. Hopefully that's the case, anyway.

    Crazy Valve ARG Teases ... Portal 2? *Update*

    The easiest way is to leave the radio on the ground and portal back to grab it after the jump (there's a portal-holding surface just down the hall from where you land.)

    Poll: Anime: Like it/ Hate it?

    I voted that I hate anime, although I really only hate most anime. I don't mind Miyazaki's stuff, for instance. But I've found that most of it either has such a mind-numbingly stupid plot and bad aesthetic value, or is hideously over-sexualized and violent that I give it a pass. I know it's not...

    L4D2 DEMO REVIEW

    Good review. They didn't take out dual pistols, though. They did add a magnum that I'm not sure you could dual with, but the magnum is so awesome by itself that it doesn't matter. I'm actually pretty excited about L4D2 at this point.

    I have an original PC copy of The Neverhood. Great game, no one's ever heard of it.
