  • Warcraft Fashion Show

    Actually, it’s Warcraft cosplay. Why not? They do it with anime. I’m not sure how long the video will remain up, but enjoy it while it’s there. But, can someone who knows the game tell me wtf is the checkered cube?

  • Civ 4: Beyond the Sword

    Will be out either tomorrow or wednesday. Gamestop says tomorrow and Best Buy’s website says Wednesday. I played one last Warlords Game and did pretty well. I think this was my third best score in the expansion pack. So you can download it and play this last turn and add it to your high score…

  • Mario Party 8…

    …is a lot of fun. I love pulverizing (and being pulverized) in the mini games.

  • Wii Remote Awesomeness

    This guy wrote software to control music loop software with a Wiimote. Unfortunately, I think it’s only for macs. Wii Loop Machine Demo from The Amazing Rolo on Vimeo

  • Columbine by Square-Enix

    Ok, ok….it’s not really by Square-Enix, but it IS an RPG of Columbine. It’s actually not as bad as your gut reaction might say. According to this review in wired, it’s actually a pretty thoughtful game meant to make you think about their motivations and frame of mind. Check out the link above there.

  • A Steve Jobs Fact you probably didn’t know….

    According to “Power Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life” (p17) Steve Jobs created Breakout! That’s right, that wonderfully addictive game, second only to Tetris for most, was created by the man who created Apple, NextStep, Pixar (via financing), and the iPod. Is there anything the black turtle-neck clad man hasn’t…

  • Super Mario Brothers – deconstructulated!

    Someone at MIT has used a Nintendo emulator to deconstruct Mario as you play it. You can see just what was going on in the Nintendo’s RAM as you played the game. It is a very neat hack and definitely worth checking out!

  • Retro gaming on the Wii – enhanced!

    So, on Retrozone, you can buy adapters to plug in your old Nintendo controllers to your Wii. This is for use with the service Nintendo provides to allow you to play on your Wii nearly every Nintendo game that ever came out for any system. I’m extremely surprised that Nintendo didn’t see this coming! They…

  • Playstation 3 Review

    I don’t have one, but I can pretend I do by reading this review. Makes me glad I didn’t get one. Sounds like they have a lot of issues to work through.

  • Best Score….Ever!

    Just finished my first Warlords game and I won a domination victory with my highest score ever! 12108!! Got ranked as Charlemagne! Save file to uploaded in the future.

  • Civ4: Warlords Absolute first impression

    There is a new, war oriented opening movie that kicks butt! The opening screen no longer plays the happy Lion King-like theme, but a more ominous one. Instead of a nice happy world in the background to the main menu, we have an impatient looking warrior who likes to twirl his sword. Impressive!

  • My Best Civ4 Game Ever

    Before I get to playing civ4: Warlods, I wanted to share my best high score ever in civ4. It was as the Eric-Chin IV of the Chinese. My final score was 7217 (the next one is 5699! as the japanese) and I finished in 1988 AD with a Domination victory in Chieftain difficulty. I might…

  • Civ 4: Warlords is Out!

    Today is the official release of Civ4: Warlords! Go get it, but make sure you leave me a copy!

  • A little Quickie

    I played a civ4 scenario for the first time last night. I played the American Revolution as the British. The map was really neat to play on, as they duplicated the eastern US pretty well. Each side starts out with about half of the cities on the map. Various actions cause loyalists to join the…
