This isn’t a Starcraft 2 review since I don’t have the game and have no plans to pick it up, but a Quarter to Three thread in which the original poster wonders where all the reviews are (reviewers did not get access to the game until yesterday, when it went live via Blizzard’s battle.net player [...]
One of the pieces of info you are typically asked to provide on a profile for a dating site is your height. I had measured my height long ago and recalled it as being slightly under 5′ 11″. Don’t ask me what that is in metric, it’s one of those things my head never wrapped [...]
Scott Jennings has some interesting thoughts on social networking on his blog Broken Toys. You can read the entry here. The included quote he references is especially worthy. Sites like Facebook allow people to share every mundane event in their lives — and furnishes them the ability to create many more — but does so [...]
In the game Spore you start out as a single-cell creature swimming and surviving in the primordial soup. You then evolve through a number of other stages before ultimately achieving space travel. From there, if I understand correctly, you go on to conquer the universe. Who am I to argue with evolution? These are my [...]
CNBC has a list of the top-selling non-gaming apps for the iPhone/iTouch for 2009. Here is a shot of the #8 entry in their web slideshow. Click to get a full-size version of the image. So the #8 non-gaming app is…a game. I’m just going to let this speak for itself as a testament to [...]
I promise the title of this post will be my first and only Wii penis joke. Really. Tonight, three years after its debut, I finally got a chance to play around with a Wii, thanks to an invite from Nic to try his out. He got it for the best price possible — as a [...]
These are apparently concept sketches for an upcoming game featuring Mickey Mouse for the Nintendo Wii. The game, called Epic Mickey, is being headed up by Warren Spector, who has worked previously on the decidedly un-childlike games Thief and Deus Ex. As you can see, the world being portrayed appears to be a bit dark. [...]
I always sucked when playing Risk as a kid. It’s not a complex game but it does involve some math and I’m like Barbie when it comes to math — I’d rather go shopping. And I don’t even like shopping, really. The worst part is probably the Machiavellian maneuvers required to form and break alliances [...]
How to Read This Blog, Part 1 by Creole Ned This site is divided into six categories: Dating Gaming General Health and Fitness Photos Writing Every post has at least one category attached to it. The content of each category is as follows: 1. Dating There are no entries for this because I am writing [...]
A fellow who goes by the online name roBurky began posting about his experiment with a homeless father and daughter in The Sims 3 on the Quarter to Three forum. Their not-so-excellent adventure is now chronicled in a blog he has created and it is replete with screenshots covering their ups and downs. Their many [...]
You start playing old games you’ve already completed, of course. Have games become my new comfort food now that I can’t rely on Snickers bars and pizza? Probably. Instead of playing Fallout 3 or Left 4 Dead or even Spore, I find my current line-up of games is: Titan Quest (2006) – playing through again [...]
Dear Logitech, Your promotional Flash site for the new G-series line of products looks very snazzy. However… I do not think you mean what you say… Admittedly, I’m old enough that I’m not up on all the cool kid lingo anymore, so it is perhaps possible that you really are comparing the speed of the [...]
