    Calling all single people, what are you doing to survive the 14th?

    My Valentine's Day Survival Kit: A whole lot of bottles of beer Crisps (that's chips to people in America) Wifebeater (the garment, not the personality trait) The Rambo Trilogy (number 4 is too tongue in cheek)

    The Sims 3 berates you for having a child out of 'wedlock' Yes they use that word...

    I'm not going to try and make a comment on the morality of having this in the game or the likes. Just thought it would be interesting to mention Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's a celebrity and it really didn't go that well for him PR-wise when it became public knowledge that he had a child out of...

    Extra Punctuation: Building Sequels Badly

    I was actually gonna use Ocarina of Time as an example of a sequel to a game that didn't need one story wise yet had the same characters (Link to the Past) but is quite honestly a better game all things considered (and that is saying a lot because LttP was fantastic). And then Majora's Mask was...

    Extra Punctuation: Building Sequels Badly

    I know this is stretching it on the issue of "same characters", but The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is an adequate example of a rushed sequel churned out in direct response to the former game's success, where both plot and game mechanics can be argued to be superiour (I know there are a lot...

    Nintendo Unveils Bonus Content Added to Ocarina of Time 3D

    *sigh How many times will I buy this game. I have to say that my overall reaction to the 3DS is a bit "meh". But that still won't change the fact that I'm eager as a small child to lay my filthy paws on a shiny, graphically revamped 3D-version of one of my all time favorite games. Now if...

    Kid Becomes "Little Zangief" in Response to Bullying

    I really understand all the people pledging their support to this kid, but aren't we forgetting that bullys often are victims themselves. I'm not saying that to excuse their behaviour, but seriously, lack of empathy is not cured by getting your ass kicked. *on a completely unrelated note...

    Nintendo Confirms Master Quest for Ocarina of Time 3D

    What? When the bloody hell are they going to fix up that infuriating error where you don't get to thaw up the Zora Kingdom after finishing the water temple. Seriously, it's not even that hard to code, just give us a proper completed version of the game sans all those backdoors Nintendo left open...

    Book of Eli Studio in Talks to Buy Blade Runner Rights

    You took the words right out of my mouth. This will only end in humiliation and despair for all parts involved.

    "Videogames Cause Rape" Author Gets Amazonbombed

    I'm not Canadian, but I suppose we Norwegians also have to contribute to the cause, so consider it done.

    Video game weapons you found most useless!

    Dude, Ultralisks are the bread and butter for any zerg player if the game reaches tier three. 6-8 Ultras and a small army of speedlings can tear through any medium to large sized ground army provided the battle takes place on an open space of creep. I always opt for Ultras and Speedlings if the...

    Gene Simmons Declares War on Anonymous

    First of all, I kinda thought Spotify had given most people a clue about where the music industry is headed. As a general rule I prefer that people support their favorite bands by buying their music but doesn't change the fact that anyone can (and usually will) download an album or a film in 15...

    Joker Won't Return in Nolan's Batman Films

    I really was keeping my fingers crossed for Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin. *sigh Also, I do believe that casting Johnny Depp as The Riddler will push Nolan's Batman series too close to Burton's. Still it could work if he's made a brilliant FBI detective with a drinking problem or...

    Demon's Souls

    I tried a different approach ;) Dear Mr. Atkinson As you're no doubt aware of, your email adress has been publicised on a very popular website for hobbyist gamers. I can imagine that this will have led to a not inconsiderate amount of various emails written with the sole intent to harass...
