First year I can really remember is 1981, Pacman.

I don't see this news as horribly bad for us the Gamer. Companies being more careful about what they produce? This sounds good to me. Maybe some of those second rate and buggy games that used to get foisted on us will get dropped. Indie developers, with their lower production costs might...

Though I'm not much of a console gamer the Castlevania music has always been awesome to me, for me symphony of light took it to a whole new level though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO34ixsNZaE - give it about 20 seconds The music just complements the games so well. Aside from the...

I've solo'd every MMO I've ever played (WOW, Eve online, Guild wars, Warhammer, etc), which kind of defeats the purpose of playing them online I suppose. However when I play single player RPG's like Oblivion, KOTOR, Mass Effect, I seem to think to myself "I wish i could play this with my...

I don't own it, don't plan to. I played the first two fallout games and fallout tactics more than was probably healthy. I'm not sure if I can bring myself to deal with the changes that Bethesda made. But its not like I'm lacking for games to play anyways. I might try it once my friends get...

Think this is the author that actually started me to start reading as a hobby. As someone said earlier, very accessible and weaves a great little tale in the process. I think I actually woke up the library when I cheered and the climax of the first book i read :-) good times...

Bishop, mainly cause he's not been ruined by the movies (yet)

Not that I love spam, But.... I don't get how heating a kettle is using less energy than using my computer - my computer uses around 1100 watts whereas an electric stove uses 2200w (not sure about gas but i really don't want to do the math converting gas into jules)? I think their hedging...

I really think this article was on the mark in a lot of ways. I cant think of even one game that doesn't have SOME form of DRM anymore. Even Stardock is using Impulse to control the downloads of updates to its games lately. Publishers would love to roll out their games for all of us to play...

Even the first one, Pong, was an adaptation of ping pong. The entire industry is basically just thriving on how much better and further they can push the boundaries of remakes. Originality has never really been my problem, my problem with games lie in how well they can deliver their program...

Thanks for adding Local shops - I buy mainly from local shops because it helps keep my Local gaming supplier stay in business and i can "talk shop" with the other gamers there. Online vendors are nice when you don't have a local source, (used to live with a two hour drive away from any gaming...

Followed a link from Penny Arcade a while back,. I think Tycho did a guest editorial or some such thing. While i was here, caught a glimpse of the videos, and Unforgotten Realms has had me coming back at least once a week ever since. Love this site!

Yep, I miss em too. But i don't really see the industry moving in that direction anymore. All of the old titles of what I thought of as "adventure games" seemed to die when the industry went 3D. There have been a few titles near the mark (Mass Effect for one) but as game rentals seem to push...

I spilled spot remover on my dog, now he's gone. (stolen from Stephen Wright)
