Criticism is Bad, Just Ask GS
GameSpot does not want you to criticize their advertisers, no matter how much they deserve it. If you do, you will be punished by having your comment removed and points taken away. Not that this... I Will Not Buy The Orange Box
I will not be buying the Orange Box. I really like Half-Life 2 and Episode 1. I have already purchased them once so that I could play them whenever I want to. I do not feel the need to purchase... Manhunt 2
The ESRB handed Rockstar an Adults Only (AO) rating for their upcoming title "Manhunt 2". Because this title was only coming out on Sony and Nintendo systems, which do not permit AO-rated games... Time Warner and Me
As some of you may be aware, I have Road Runner as my Internet access provider. As you may also be aware, I have been less than ecstatic about the service I have been provided by this subsidiary... Gaming Nostalgia
I'm a bit of a pack rat, just ask my wife. I am, however, pretty selective in the things I keep. For example, I keep all the boxes to my hardware and software, but I do not keep most of the dozen... Virginia Tech Massacre
The talking heads (and those that speak from another, lower, portion of their anatomy) will offer up their typically half-baked theories on this, each one more half-baked than the last. Some will... Game Release Dates
Silverfall was released this week and should be sitting on a store shelf right now. The amazing part about this is that the scheduled release date was 3/27/2007. That means Atari released... How I Spent My Weekend
Saturday morning started off in a typical fashion. I checked my email, paid some bills online and read some online comics. I then shut down my PC to go out and run some errands with every intention... Head for the hills, Vista is here
Today is the day Microsoft officially launches the consumer versions of Vista. Microsoft will be spending a fairly large fortune in marketing campaigns to let you know just how wonderful Microsoft... I HATE FedEx!
I will no longer use FedEx or buy from any store online that does not give me an option not to use FedEx! FedEx has jerked me around for the last three days over a package that should have been... How to do a Product Launch
This past weekend saw two very different launch strategies for two very different game consoles. These two launch strategies, in my opinion, displayed just what each company thinks of its... See, Complaining Can Get Good Results!
Microsoft has caved on their change to Vista's licensing and will now allow unlimited transfers, rather than the one they had originally published in the Vista EULA. This change doesn't change my... No More EA for Me
Electronic Arts was once one of the best game creators and publishers in the world. Back in the 80's, they released some of best video games you could find on any platform. Every time I saw the... Microsoft to allow one Vista transfer under new license
This kind of crap is making me very seriously consider never installing Vista and finding some other way to play my Windows games, once they won't run on XP. Or, I'll just play console games and... Games and Government
You can tell when it is an election year in the USA by the number of really pointless pieces of 'feel good' legislation that the politicians fighting to keep their offices try to ram through... Console vs. PC Gaming
I was a PC-only gamer for well over a decade. That changed last February when I bought an Xbox 360. It was a combination of factors that led me to make this purchase. One was to see what all the... What an RPG is to me
I started playing role playing games in 1976. That summer, I spent $10 on a boxed set of the original Dungeons & Dragons rules. I also started buying miniature figures to use while playing D&D. I... Musings of a 40+ Gamer
I've been playing games on computers and/or computing devices since 1979. no, I don't mean the original Atari console, which didn't have a number after the name when it first came out,...
