World of Warcraft Movie: 4 Reasons Why It Shouldn’t Be Made
Kevin Kelly at spout.com lists out his four reasons as to why the wow movie should never see the light of day. Head over to the site for the full article but I will go ahead and list the highlights here:
Origins: 50 years ago the first video game was born
So 50 years ago, well ok 50 years and 5 days ago, a nuclear physicist named William Higinbotham created something called “Tennis for Two” which was a game played on a 5″ oscilloscope screen.
Street Fighter IV This Winter!!!
Producer of Street Fighter IV, Yoshi Ono, had this to say about the release date of this game: There is no official North American arcade release, so we kind of feel bad that you guys have to wait for it. That’s why we’re trying to get it to you as soon as possible. [...]
Brand New Red Alert 3 Video: Details on Units!
The day of judgement approaches, comrades! This surveillence video will display the might and power of the Motherland and will give us critical information on Allied and Rising Sun land and sea power, so that we may learn their weaknesses and reduce them all into a smoldering mass of burning metal! Our thanks to gametrailers.com! [...]
Diablo 3: The Wizard class (Video trailer)
Diablo 3 ‘Wizard’ trailer Wizard class trailer, Diablo 3 courtesy of 1up.com. Damn I’m excited about this game and I’ve been a fan of the rpg Wizard class since I played Ultima Exodus on the NES. Back then, you had a spell named Death and it was the spell nuke to end all conversations. Hell, [...]
Quake Live and your config (.cfg) file
So we’ve had a few questions about Quake Live concerning custom configs. If you’re in beta, you may have noticed that even though the configuration interface is nice and shiny, it’s far from comprehensive and as I said before, somewhat limiting.
The Punisher: Follow-up on game rumors
Since it’s no longer a rumor, I decided to go ahead and post some information about the up and coming Playstation 3 exclusive, Punisher: No Mercy, game apparently being developed by ZEN Studios.
Android, T-Mobile Dream, Google and You
So okay another day, another f’n phone hits the market and no one really cares. What in the blazes am I referring to? Well if you managed to avoid being as lazy as I am, then you actually read the title of this article and would have surmised that I’m talking about the T-Mobile Dream [...]
World of Warcraft, WOTLK Phased Zones
Ok, so I was thinking about the up and coming expansion release for WoW and so yes, we’ll have another 10 levels to grind out (boo!), new spells, new talents, new content and a new class to play. But that’s a shitload to write about and so I just want to mention a little [...]
Girls in Gaming, Myths
This is an older video (aged a fine 5 months or so) and I was initially going to list out the “myths” in the vid but then decided, nah, you’ll just have to watch it for yourself. There is a member from the PMS clan and she says something to the effect that “some of [...]
Quake Live Beta
So ok, a while back I grabbed a Quake Live Beta key and since I’m lazy as hell sometimes, I’m just now sitting down and writing a little about the QL. I had not visited the world of Quake in the last 4 years but about six weeks ago I got mega-bored with WOW and [...]
World of Warcraft: Deathknight creation in upcoming WOTLK Expansion
So in the beginning, it was speculated that you needed a character that was exactly lvl 55, sitting in the realm that you wanted to create your up and coming WOTLK (Wrath of the Lich King) expansion Deathknight. Then, the requirement was changed to needing to have a lvl 55+ character and that an open [...]
RED ALERT 3 BETA: My experience thus far
So Fury and I got our keys for the beta and of course we’re ultra excited to take a look at the game, expecting something mesmerizing and spectacular. Well, I did get to play ONCE thus far, for about 15min (Terror Drones are about some bullshit but whatever). Let me explain. OK, so it’s a [...]
RA3 Beta now open
So yesterday EA let loose the dogs of war, or whatever, and opened up about 2000 beta accounts for those of us who purchased the CNC3 Expansion: Kane’s Wrath. Fury and I are still waiting on the account keys and there’s no way to tell where in the list we currently sit. More [...]
