    Meatbag and Co: Meatbag and Co. Episode 1

    This... is crap. No jokes, no overall punchline, just two guys talking about something random. If this continues, I certainly hope the creators actually put some time into the next episode. Otherwise, it looks like someone had an hour of free time, Fraps, and a bucket load of boredom. I...

    So I've got a virus....

    For you folks running into viruses that fly under the radar... Run a couple of anti-virus programs. Norton, AVG, Stopsign (just dated myself with that one), or even MS Security Essentials, any combination, and yeah, sometimes you'll have to uninstall one of them to get another one to load...

    Is this Racist?

    So, I'm a minority (half minority. Half Irish, half Mexican. Pseudo-nority? Hell, I don't know). My dad told me something when I was younger, talking about Mexican jokes (as these things go, my dad always told the best Mexican jokes, and his co worker, big black guy, told the best black...

    Your Gaming Capital Sins

    I pray to all my gods that fanboys for any system (may it be PC, Xbox, or PS) have a special place in whatever hell there may be that they may fester in, together, playing online multiplayer, against other players that use systems that isn't the one the sinner's so hot about (see note below on...

    Suicide pills

    Nothing, "cowardly," about this. Yes, if you're looking for an easy way out of a temporary problem, then yes, you are a coward. Doing something like this to ease your own suffering, or the suffering of those around you, isn't cowardly... Hell, I'd even venture to say there is some nobility in...

    How do you adjust your glasses?

    I wouldn't normally reply to something like this, as it isn't something that I normally notice, but a girl at Starbucks made mention to me how I adjust them earlier, so figured there must be some kind of karmic, cosmic, "thing," goin' on here, so here it is... Grasp the left lens, top and...

    269: Praise Diversity, Address Inequality

    Personally, I'd much rather have developers spend their time and budget on crap that matters in a video game, like content, rather than 40 billion different character feature combinations and whether or not I can properly be represented in a video game (half Irish, half Mexican--wanna talk about...

    Muslim Should Not Equal Villain

    Give it 20 years and it'll be a whole new boogeyman. If video games were at their peak (or around at all, in the following time periods mentioned), the, "big bad villain," would change depending on the environment. 20's-40's--Modern Warfare would have been about nothing more than blowing...

    New MMO Brings Old Testament Online

    This is the worst idea for a video game in the history of bad planning... Christians will be mocked for the ridiculousness of the game, and people who hate the game for its merrits will be persecuted as bashing Christians... No one wins. Meanwhile, I will sit in my throne of skulls...

    A Game Where You Don't Have To Kill Anyone

    I think it's a fantastic idea, so as long as not killing anyone is *optional*. I think a lot of gamers are kinda like me in this regard. There are days where you want to sneak around, inflict as few casualties as possible, just to test skills. Then there are the days where the only thing...

    Former Teacher Acquitted of Videogame Massacre Threat

    Speaking of a sue-happy public, I'm with you in this regard. I hope he sues the balls off the school district and wins. ...then, a book deal... daytime talk show slots... touring the country, leading seminars on how fucking asinine zero tolerance policies truly are (like the kid who was...

    illegal downloads?

    Kagim summed up most of my thoughts on the piracy issue. Though, there's one more thing that hasn't been addressed, and it's another argument I hear a lot (I'm in the IT field, and hear a lot of bullshit for and against piracy). It has been mentioned, but another facet of it hasn't been...

    Poll: Why I think Call of Duty is Poisoning Video Game's Image (besides the fact that i don't like it).

    Honestly, I have no problem with MW2 (or any current era shooter/tactical shooter). The problem I *do* have is the people who take it to an extreme. You know the ones I'm talking about. They own MW2, a copy of Battlefield BC 2, and a few of the Tom Clancy games, and it makes them a certified...
