    Poll: Did you build your computer?

    Nope, I'm actually reading a book about building a PC. I'm going to give it a try on something simple (and really cheap).

    Games That You Want Made, But Probably Won't.

    Probably either Dungeon Keeper 3, I never got tired of building dungeons full of minions, or another Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, I miss that show but the video game was fun and simple.

    Review: Alpha Protocol

    Maybe it's me but I never noticed any control issues on the 360. Mikey Thorton didn't go running off on me, he normally did what I told him to do. My only two beefs with the game is the fact that it just doesn't seem viable to use the shotgun or SMGs on the higher difficulty as the enemies...

    Poll: Pre-ordering from GameStop

    I pre-ordered from Gamestop exclusively for the Blackhole Gun for Mass Effect 2. I remember that commercial, it was pretty funny. (I think it's still up on Youtube) It's weird but Gamestop tends to have the better pre-order deals (or the only pre-order deal) compared to other companies.

    Fallout: New Vegas Switches to Steam

    Yuck, I'm never been a fan of Steam. I consider it a real vague annoying attempt to just slow down my comp. I was hoping this could go to Impulse if you had to find a digital distributor. Oh well, whatever, I'll still probably play this on my console.

    Adobe's Argument With Apple Escalates

    I worry that Apple is going into a messy anti-trust fight. Along with the other situations such as the mess of the missing iPhone prototype, they haven't really engendered good relations. In theory, denying access to others such as Adobe inevitably shrinks the market, allows Apple to charge...

    Random Gaming Tips by...........You!

    In Fallout 3, focus on getting your home/apartment in either Megaton or Tenpenny Tower asap. Having a safe spot to offload your gear and items that you collect in your travels definitely makes life easier. As well as a safe place to run for it if you happen to be nearby and some heavily armed...

    Brace Yourself for the Boobquake!

    This is one of the funniest things I read today. Not only because of the idiocy of the cleric. But because someone is actually willing to do the work (albeit said work involves skimpy clothing and traffic accident causing tight t-shirts) to prove him wrong.

    Poll: Are you a cat or dog person?

    Since you put other animals in the poll, I have to rep for my pet turtle. Cats are a close second for me, though.

    Poll: Discussing Star Wars : The Old Republic

    Definitely Jedi Knight. I'll be the good guy trying to remind people to deal with their problems in a constructive manner. Then engage in "aggressive negotiations" should those talks fail.

    Would you survive the zombie apocalypse? (Quiz inside.....)

    I got a 55% I need to join a Zombie Protection group. I can totally do spreadsheets, though! I can keep everyone with enough food and weapons...I just can't use them myself. I'm too much of a goody-two shoes. That question about helping the trapped person in the car, I would totally help...

    Poll: Worst games to play while drunk.

    I've played video games drunk twice. Once was recently with Modern Warfare 2, I officially can't quick scope when I'm drunk but I can certainly noob-tube my way to a win. The other time I played drunk was Left 4 Dead in versus mode. That was funny, I actually saved my team from dying when...

    Ever have the urge to play your old consoles?

    The shadowrun game that I played on the sega genesis. I don't even remember the point of that game but I found it amusing.

    Poll: What sort of piracy protection would you choose?

    I'm surprised there isn't more demand for the DRM ala Batman: Arkham Asylum. Outside of amusing forum posts about bugs in one's moral code, it would lead to far more damning gameplay situations for would-be pirates. Making doors impossible to open, keys that won't appear, the lack of a jump...

    Fighting for Second Place: An Interview With Brad Wardell

    I'll be honest, I've never liked how Steam worked. It always seemed to get in my way. A lot of bells and whistles that I could care less about. The first game I bought that used Steam was Empire: Total War. I felt like it was a complete pain for installing it from the box. All these extra...
