I'm not sure what my wife's name was. She induced a fit of blind rage, which resulted in her demise. My character was an enchanter, and one that liked to decorate his house with crazy daedric shit that he forged. Now, when you name an item "Touch this and Die", I believe that's a general...

House Of Leaves Go The Fuck To Sleep Shadow Run Players Handbook I would do this just to see how the fuck it would turn out.

Simply put, Crysis and its ilk are not games. It's benchmarking software. I know my fair share of gamers, and I have yet to meet a single person who actually enjoys the story and gameplay of Crysis. Its popular because the people who have spent exorbitant amounts of money on their computer can...

Surprises: -Fire Emblem: Awakening. If you have any kind of access to a 3DS, play this game. You won't regret it -Spec Ops: The Line -Sleeping Dogs -Metro 2033 -Saints Row: The Third -Bioshock: Infinite Regrets: -Battlefield 3 <- Worst game I have ever played, hands down. I refuse to...

This is solid... I'm sure someone particularly lulzy will have an apk out soon. Also, because it must be said: "Hijacking a Plane? There's an app for that"

In my opinion, if a company has the resources to generated additional content to a game between the time it's sent off for disk manufacturing, there should be zero known unpatched bugs at launch. If you can pay people to model and texture horse armor, you can pay people to debug your code. On...

This, and any other rumor, have about as much validity as rumors that it's nuclear powered and requires periodic human sacrifices in the EULA. This is stupid, artificial hype generated around a piece of hardware that will very likely be outmatched before it even hits the shelves. Wait until...

It's very clear to me that the executive made these remarks with absolutely no knowledge of the technical side of things. Ever heard about a viral SmartTV app? How about a major SmartTV development firm? I certainly haven't, and with good reason: With the current software and hardware paradigms...

The article is a bit misleading. While off the shelf, consumer grade PC's have been declining in popularity for years, I personally find that the market for custom built machines has never been better. The rapidly declining cost of great quality components and the rapid increase of shitty...

First of all, excellent episode, Jim. In my opinion, this is among your best, and thank god for you. Now, to the issue: As the owner of an IT business, I've dealt with many people who are unable to get their internet working properly in their home. I've seen all kinds of causes; hardware...

I started taking the ACT in the 7th grade, I received a 21, which was the national high school senior average at the time. Once I went through high school, I ended up getting a 31. What I found really interesting was the percentile that your score gave you. Even though I was 5 points off of the...

Resonance of Fate What was good about it: A very interesting turn-based combat system. Players controlled location within the battle area as well as the action, and with certain conditions, the 3 party members could initiate a combo maneuver where they would in essence, run around in a...

First of all, let me specify that I built a programming workstation that can handle gaming, not a "gaming rig". That being said: OS: Windows 7 Ultimate-N (The "N" is for "No Bullshit") CPU: AMD FX-8350 "Vishera" 4.0Ghz Octo-core RAM: 16GB (4x 4Gb) 1333 DDR3 (Corsair) GPU: Sapphire Radeon...

I play a bit of a hybrid of 1st ed and 3.5 with my friends. I'm actually running a campaign now based off of the Rave Master manga. We're all aspiring game developers, so we use dnd to get out new and interesting ideas for mechanics and game elements for our own future games

When applying for a student job at the university that I attended, I was interviewed by committee, and at the very end of the interview, I was asked, "If you could be any kind of fruit or vegetable, what would you be and why?" It took me a moment, but I answered, "A pomegranite, because...
