Fantastic article, Weiss, and a great answer to why the military shooters are popular with our military. I've wondered this before, and my military friends couldn't say much more than, "it's fun." Great perspective on living in Baghdad too. I especially liked the vivid description of the...

Heh, I didn't get in trouble personally, but my friend did because of me. I was living in Austin, and my friend Ryan was visiting. I had a business trip the next day, so naturally we went out and tore it up that night. The next day, I drove my truck to the airport, and Ryan drove it back...

Well said, Alex! The heart of all this seems to be a misunderstanding--as probably most of us always believed--combined with bad timing, and a little panic. The new payment plan seems to be a good one; lowers your cost and increases the chance of a great month for all contributors. Do you...

Great show and getting so close to perfection! Here are two suggestions that I've seen the most--and agree with--to help y'all out: 1. Clinking beer wipe--only do one, then do a different sound/wipe for the other. 2. Demonstrating the game/rules--on this video, you had the demonstrators...

Like many of you I'm sure, my head is spinning with this turmoil surrounding Extra Credits and the Escapist Magazine. None of us can say exactly what is going on, except that things are pretty ugly. Am I crazy, or does this situation look exactly like all the news posts on the Escapist that...

What a great film! The only way it could possibly be better is if Christopher Walken did the narration.

I'm a writer, so my days aren't "normal". First thing at the crack of 10am, I make coffee, let out the dogs, light up a cig, and start waking up on the back porch by reading and watching new stuff on the Escapist. My favorite time of the day. These past couple weeks tho, I've started to...

SMU in Dallas, Texas not only has one of the top game developer curriculums in the US, but a whole building dedicated to producing top level people for the gaming industry. If Epic hasn't approached SMU already--or vice versa--they should! There should definitely be UDK classes, guest...

Great post, Doctor! Fo remembering those that passed, I had an idea similar to the post above about a guild forum "Gone But Not Forgotten". It's one thing to do a wake in WoW or wherever, but most of the interaction is done through chat or vent, and that isn't lasting--unless it's recorded...

I had heard about a little game out called Bioshock, and I wanted to know how the reviews were. Google search led to Digg.com, where someone had announced that Zero Punctuation had done a review of it. I watched the vid, watched the others before it, watched the two on youtube.com, went back...

First of all, the quality is amazing! Well done! The dual scenes are a great idea, and I'm looking forward to seeing the interaction between the characters in the forest and the players playing them. However, must the humor come from four of the five people being retarded? Or being...

The developer proudly says it's just a game, and possibly a teaching tool, simply because the deranged games before it "sucked". But you know what this game is almost exactly like... ...a game where you play a Nazi guard at a concentration camp-- --where you get points for killing the...

OH MAN, I cannot wait for the movie for all this! And since we don't know what anyone at Anonymous looks like--and I hope we never find out--they can take their pick of the coolest actors in hollywood! Now if they could take it up a notch and blast the white slave traders, drug cartels, and...

Great storytelling and great series! I looked forward to it each week, and I'm sad now it's ended. Hopefully you'll do your next project in WoW as well.

That was a great macro overlook! Seeing your big picture context made me realize how much about Halo I've missed. For example, the blue eyes in the commercial used to be cool, but after you pointed out what it could really mean I laughed so hard that I had to go change my shorts! Great job...
