Why Halo 3 Sucks 2007-09-27 07:11:52 WHY HALO 3 SUCKS **SPOILER WARNING** details of Halo 3 "plot" included below "Finish the Fight" Bungie promised us an end to the fight in the form of Halo 3. Halo left us wanting more, Halo 2 left us disappointed and frustrated but still filled with hope about what could happen in the Halo universe. They promised us a fitting conclusion to this massive commercial experience that is known as Halo and we were ready for it. We all know how frustrating it can be to walk into a movie, pick up a book or start a videogame when we have expectations of what is about to occur and it doesn't go the way we were expecting it to. It's nearly impossible to not have expectations about something like Halo 3 if you are even remotely a videogame addict. So, let me set the record straight before I begin. I found Halo to be a solid enjoyable game, I loathed most of Halo 2 (thank god for the energy sword and, once again, multiplayer) and found myself reluctantly picking up Halo 3 because
Why Leetspeek is Retarded 2007-09-24 07:53:09 Why Leetspeak isRetarded
...I've been playing videogames for over 20 years now and I'm not sure whether I'm proud of that or not. What I am sure of is that I find myself addicted to an industry that is increasingly dominated by young people.Now, I wouldn't typically care at all about the fact that my past time happens to also be the past time of small humans aged 6-16 (although god knows there are lots of people that keep begging me to grow out of it already), but I have to confess that there are some things that bother me. Most notable among those things that just drive me crazy is the infamous, and universally pervasive, leetspeak. If you use it, you are a retard, period. I get it, typing out whole words takes too long. I understand that certain keys are closer together then others. I even understand that any past time develops its own unique language as a way of increasing the efficiency and reinforcing the clique-like nature of the activity. You are still a retard.If you l

Halo 3 Drinking
GameSure, you could stay sober, try to improve your rating and work towards leetness and all that. On the other hand, you could get your friends to come over, bring a LOT of beer and spend the evening making them get absolutely smashed by killing them endlessly. If possible you can get your friend’s hot sister to play and get naked. It’s your choice, but we only provided rules for the getting drunk and naked part…
Basic RulesYou will need beer…lots and lots of beer. For a shorter game you could substitute shots or other substances, but beer works rather well. We want to officially warn against tequila, we tried that out and it didn’t go so well.We could spend time describing what constitutes a single drink, but we are pretty sure you will be able to figure it out. If not, just drink a little more to make sure. 8oz cups are probably the best bet…or whatever happens to be clean and/or closest to the beer.Keep in mind the

I guess it’s true, you do learn something new every day. My lesson for the day is that WoW (World of Warcraft), the MMO from Blizzard (in case you live under a rock somewhere), is actually a tool of Satan himself!I was alarmed at this revelation because there is no such warning on the box. You would think that there would at least be a mention of such a fact in the system requirements: Minimum System Requirements:Windows 2000/XP, Intel Pentium III 800 Mhz or AMD Duron 800 Mhz, 512 MB RAM, 32 MB 3D graphics rocessor, DirectX 9.0c, Must be a willing servant of Satan, 10GB available HD space…My personal discovery started with a simple email to my Grandmother…
I get emails from my family a lot. They usually consist of simple questions that I could probably answer in a moment and make all involved parties content. Somehow, though, it seems easier to move them to that little folder entitled, “Family” in Outlook that es Read more:Parents
Bioshock wins Game of the Year! 2007-10-03 10:15:21 BIOSHOCK WINS GAME OF THE YEAROf course, it hasn't actually won the Game of the Year award, it's barely even October people! Although I'm usually one to wait until the year has actually ended before I start running around proclaiming anything to be "Best of the Year," in the case of Bioshock
I'm going to make a little exception. That's because, the tr00f is (sorry, couldn't help it), this game is already heads above the rest of the competition.You disagree? You feel some other game is more deserving of the title? Let me explain why Bioshock should win the award in order to help save the videogame industy. Sound outrageous? Perfect. Let's get started...(***OH, AND, AS USUAL, THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS AND SUCH...I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE MUCH AWAY, BUT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!***)
When I initially saw the Bioshock commercial that I linked at the very beginning of this blog, I was both interested and immediately convinced the game would fall far sh
10 AMAZING PIECES OF VIDEOGAME ART 2007-10-19 11:31:29 10 AMAZING PIECES OFVIDEOGAME ARTVideogames are more than pixels, engines, codes and 3D models, they also are visual art and have led to the creation of one of the largest collections of visual media in the world. Some of the most amazing art and artists of our time are often overlooked because their work is part of a "game." Their work is not showcased in a gallery or fine art museum... it is showcased online. Case in point is this gorgeous painting from concept artist Alessandro "Talexi" Taini which became one of the main desktop wallpapers available for PS3's Heavenly Sword:I have been an avid admirer and collector of vidogame art for years. So, in order to help promote and showcase some of the amazing art and artists out there, I decided to start by sharing 10 of my current favorite pieces of videogameart.
