    Games on Trial, Part Two

    That's good news for everybody in the industry and everybody that would enjoys the medium. Having said that, is the ESRB going to make more of an attempt to try to enforce their own ratings? This whole nonsense started because the little kidlets could buy rated M games in the first place...

    The Fucking Weather.... Where you live

    76 degrees and sunny in San Diego. There's a reason the rent is so high. One of my favorite parts of the day is the morning weather report, where I see the rest of the country / world. Then the local dude comes up and says that it'll be in the 70's and sunny like it was yesterday, and all last...

    Kid Rings Up $1700 Xbox Live Bill, Mom Blames Microsoft

    "You can't put all that responsibility on a young boy..." We don't. We put that responsibility on you lady.

    Has COD ruined the FPS experience forever?

    COD:MW really started the current trend of "realistic" type military shooters on the console (since Battlefield and Counter-Strike had the PC market wrapped up already), although the health system(s) that either allow you to regenerate like you're Weapon X or magic life canteens don't really add...

    DC or Marvel?

    Um, both? I actually follow writers regardless of who they happen to write for. So Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, Brian Michael Bendis and Grant Morrison. I mean, any of those guys could write a Sesame Street book and I would preorder it.

    What is your degree in?

    English, but only because I already mastered Engrish playing NES growing up.

    Should There Be Another Halo Title?

    Nothing with Master Chief anyway. The universe is pretty big, so if/when they do another, it should have different characters. Personally, I'd like more with the ODSTs, since (and this may sound like sacrilege) ODST was the best of the series. If on the other hand they're not going to update...

    Real Final Fantasy VII Weaponry Causes Spinal Injuries

    ...that's just awesome. Regarding the video, I don't know whether to classify this as an overwhelming success or an epic fail.

    The morning after pill dilemma

    Good job. I do believe you scored some Light Side points for that one. Considering the situation, you did the best you could for everybody involved.

    IGN: "INDIE" IS A FAKE GAMING CATEGORY!

    "Because those two concepts are completely mutually exclusive and also don't apply to the people working on big budget titles, am i rite?" Eh, I guess not. If you're working on a big budget title, you're probably getting a paycheck that has a studio name on it. If you do it without the...

    IGN: "INDIE" IS A FAKE GAMING CATEGORY!

    "Indie" is more of a reason to do something. If you're making a game hoping to make money on it, then you're probably not in the "indie" category. If you're making a game because you love the act of making games and hope that maybe somebody plays it, then yeah, congrats, indie. Consequently...

    Pachter in Major Tizzy With Advocacy Group Over Black Ops

    Argh, I do not want to defend Patcher (who is of course an analyst that looks at releases of software and hardware to offer investment advice) but he's kind of right on a basic level. I mean, yes, games should be as bug free as possible. Totally without bugs is a silly pipe dream that gamers...

    Microsoft: Xbox 360 Made for Families, Not Gamers

    My 360 is Halo Green. Until I can pay real dollars to buy a TiVo that also comes in Halo Green, my 360 is a gaming console. In other news Toyota is no longer making cars, but portable love hotels.

    Is IGN Biased?

    I doubt that the 9.5 (which is still an awesome score) had anything to do with the PS3 version being a little late. It's more likely that there are simply not that many Cons to name, so being late made the list. Having said that, bias for a reviewer probably has nothing to do with the console...

    400 Unqualified Schmucks Sign Up For One-Way Mission to Mars

    Imagine the news in 20 years: "On the lighter side of the news, 400 of the would be martian colonists have all died. Early reports indicate suicide, since the only thing they brought for entertainment were copies of Dynasty Warriors and Jersey Shore seasons 1-42. Next, Sports..."
