Gamers pwn anti-LGBT bigotry, w00t!

A while back various groups dragging the word “family” through the dirt were pissed at Bioware for the inclusion of same-sex relationships in Star Wars: The Old Republic.  They were all calling for a boycott of Bioware for daring to note that same-sex relationships, y’know…happen.  Fortunately, Bioware was able to tell them, pretty much without [...]

Guild Wars 2 looks awesome

For most gamers who have grown to despise the once-noble Blizzard, and even for many World of Warcraft players, there is a thought that beats like a drum in the back of our skulls everywhere we go: “die WoW, die!”  I had hoped that SWTOR would be WoW’s undoing, and while SWTOR is fun with [...]

Diablo 3 later?

I’m loafing today.  It’s awesome. I have the starter install of Diablo III.  My battle.net address is wwjtd21[at]gmail[dot]com.  My battletag is Zerowing#2770. Who all is up for leveling some lowbies later? Turns out if you’re playing on a guest pass (as I am) then you can’t group with “real” players.  Sorry guys.

Gaming’s annoying future

Cracked.com has a great article on why the Diablo 3 debacle represents the annoying future of gaming. We handed Blizzard 64 dollars and said, “I would like to be a monk named Fuckhole, please.” And in return, they took our money first and responded second, “No, that name doesn’t quite sit with us. Take out [...]

DayZ: Zombie survival

I took a vacation day the other day because I was exhausted.  I spent it at home not doing squat but playing video games (NBA 2k12, SWTOR).  About halfway through the day my friend Jeremiah alerted me to a new mod for Arma2 that is picking up steam called DayZ.  Long story short: this is [...]

Diablo III thread

Tomorrow Diablo III gets released.  Not gonna lie, it looks kind of underwhelming. The graphics look dated, probably due to the release getting pushed back so much, and the landscapes look bland.  The game play doesn’t look terribly different from Diablo II, not that that’s bad since D2 rocked, but a sequel should be more [...]

What’s the best video game music?

Here are some of my favorite songs from video games.  Feel the nostaliga. Leave a comment with a fb link to yours.  Only leave one vid at a time though, otherwise the spam hamsters will steal your comment.  Which songs from games either rock your face or make you (and maybe some of the rest [...]

Super Nintendo vs Sega Genesis

Ok, the last thread was pretty big, so let’s have this out right here.

Old school gamer dropping a truth bomb

I had an N64 as a kid.  It was the straight up shiz!  Fuck Playstation 1!  The only reason people owned a PS1 was for Final Fantasy VII anyway (ok, also Tekken). Sega Genesis or Super NES…now there’s a debate…

Megaman X review

There’s been some gloom and doom what with the new med posts lately.  Also, I haven’t done a gaming post in a while.  So here’s something upbeat.
