    306: Mickey, Donald, and You

    FWIW, in Finland Donald is somewhere around demigod status (The weekly Donald Duck is the highest-subscription magazine in the country - and you'll notice he gets top billing) while Mickey, though starring in his own stories, is roughly at the status of a sidekick. Probably a bigger deal than...

    Preview: Dungeon Siege 3

    Yes, it's a joke of sorts. In plain speak: I think the effect is hideous and binning it would be a good move.

    Critical Miss: God Emperor of Steam #3

    I'm not sure what's going on any more, but it does all seem an awful lot like Jr. High fanfic. Come on, son. Pull yourself together.

    Preview: Dungeon Siege 3

    Looks promising, as long as they get rid of that weird graphics glitch that makes big fat bluish-white lines show up all over the place. It's surprising they haven't spotted it yet, it's pretty obvious. Maybe they can't figure out what's causing it.

    Most unhelpful thing for teammate/AI to do..

    Certain TF2 servers have players who join your team and create a formation of synchronised sandvich-eating heavies, or just go spy and spycrab around.

    Preview: Magic the Gathering Tactics

    This sounded like my idealized fantasy of what a game could be, right up until to the installment-plan cost. I'd pay $60 for the whole game, but buying it in $4 installments is right out. I'm so weak willed that I'd end up shelling out anyway, so I'll just have to give even trying it in the...

    Zero Punctuation: iPhone Games

    Wow. First Yahtzee makes a career out of ripping on every minor imperfection in any game he can find.. and when he finds a bunch of lazy half-arsed commercial knockoffs of tedious Flash games from two years ago, he can't praise them enough. What the hell? He even went easy on the...

    Stolen Pixels #241: The Gaming Afterlife

    I don't think "QA testing" is really the term you want. Valve's QA testing is dodgy at best. The Source engine *still* doesn't quite work right, every TF2 update is accompanied by a selection of bugs, glitches, and exploits, and actually I just had TF2 crash on me last night. Playtesting and...

    Know Your Gaming Roots

    I thought Looking Glass were shut down by the mother company in order to secure more funding to make Daikatana in what is now known as "the stupidest thing anyone has ever done".
