    You Are Probably Not Using Internet Explorer to Read This

    Well, lets see here. I'm currently reading this on IE. I use Chrome and Firefox at work. And when I'm working on websites, I use Safari, just to check that it's displaying correctly. I guess I'm just equal opportunity.

    Which 5 Game Sountracks are your favorites?

    In no particular order: -Deus Ex -System Shock 2 -Bioshock -Fallout 3 -Modern Warfare 2 I like music that is immersive and epic-feeling. Whenever I hear the music in these games, it compliments them so well, I can't imagine having the music turned off. It helps make the scene and helps the...

    Game Dogs: Knives-R-Us

    Heh. I was being sarcastic. With sarcasm. The russians would be funny... for a few episodes. Powers that be, keep the around, they are fantastic foils to the other characters, but don't overdo it. Still, can you imagine what the next game would be if they get to come up with it?... "It first...

    Game Dogs: Knives-R-Us

    Keep the russians, get rid of the game designers. Seriously. No, seriously! If they can come up with those knives, imagine what kind of game they could come up with by themselves!

    The Escapist Presents: Preview: Xbox Dashboard Update 2010

    I don't have the update yet, but from this review: New UI: Blockier, stockier, and less-fading-ier. I'm not sure that I like it, but I'm not sure I dislike it either. I understand that that wanted things to be easier to manipulate with the Kinect, but I'm still not convinced that all the...

    WWF "Shoots" Russian Clothes Shoppers

    I love it. Ok, yea, it's message is nice, and probably only "influencing" people who were already in that mindset. I'm not passing judgement on that. I'm talking about the technology and the future of interactive marketing. If you can make that screen more subtle (and, believe me, you...

    The Escapist Presents: The Costumes of Dragon*Con

    1:34... the techpriest was a nice touch. All hail the Omnissiah! Praise for the Machine God!

    Colonel Sanders Adds Finger-Lickin' Good Combat to Sega RPG

    For Shame, Mr. Goldman! The answer stares thee in the face. Order that tasty family meal, and look at what thy have received. Yes, you have received thy delicious chicken, but you only see the forest, not the trees. Lo, gaze your eyes upon thy bucket, full of greasy morsels. What glorious...

    Escape to the Movies: Dungeons & Dragons

    The problem lies within the fact that D&D, on it's own, has no main characters... other than the players themselves. If you were going to have a true, "generically-based" D&D movie, you'd have to do it like the animated series; kids get sucked into game, become characters, save world, go home...

    Microsoft Launches Jetpack-Equipped Spartans Alongside Halo: Reach

    Seriously non-plus'd. Yea, maybe it was just the video, but when I heard about it and watched the first part, I figured they'd be sending a couple of spartans walking through a crowd of people in a bustling square, then the jetpack-spartan would fly down from a roof or something, they'd all...

    The Costumes of PAX Prime 2010

    Agreed, but some of them were well done. I thought they guy wandering around as a turret was a nice touch. Oh, and I caught a snap of Luigi defending Peach from the giant D&D Dragon down in the "hidden level". Looked epic. Best costume, imho, I'm not spotting on here. There was a large guy...

    dirty tactics you know you shouldnt use, but still do

    Other than the occasional camp (sniping, C4, shotgun, whatever), I really don't play "dirty". However, in MW2 Hardcore multiplayer, tagging someone in the head with a smoke/flash/stun/airdrop grenade (marker) for the kill is immensely satisifying. :) Edit: Oh, totally forgot LoL. Yea...

    Jack Thompson Vows to Stop Medal of Honor

    True... but that man is a troll with a TV show. He'll take whatever side the Democrats don't. It wouldn't shock me if America banned all video games tomorrow, he'd turn around and cry out how the dangerous Democrats are trampling the Constitution and how banning games would lead to book burnings...

    Jack Thompson Vows to Stop Medal of Honor

    Bravo! And I'm not being sarcastic. You are a man who obviously loves his country, and does what he feels is right, without trampling what our government stands on. While I don't agree with your opinion of MOH (I'll happily play whatever "skin" the computer gives me, although I'm not purchasing...
