Xbox 360 fans commend MS customer service, but are fine with console unreliability

I love the games in the Xbox 360. What’s not to love? You’ve got the best shooters like Bioshock, Gears of War, Halo 3 (despite my dislike of the previous installations, I actually like the latest one), The Orange Box, GRAW2, and I’m not even talking about the other genres yet.
What I don’t like about […]

What’s your desktop like?

I believe that viewing one’s desktop gives us a peek at one’s personality. How? It’s similar to that TV show I was watching where two people set out to examine a mystery person’s house and belongings, then proceeds to deducing facts about said mystery person.
Well, seeing one’s desktop won’t necessarily glean the individual’s darkest secrets […]

Meme mia! Time for a meme

I got tagged by my friend Mel for a meme, so I guess I have to humor him. The rule is seven random facts about one’s self:

I used to be an amateur basketball coach in our district. Yes, your friendly-neighborhood ranter used to stay at the sidelines, screaming oaths at a group of hormonally-imbalanced teens […]

3 is higher than 2 so it must be better

So I’m sittin there dilligently working away to finish something up and The Boss comes up to my desk and plops this big giant box down on it. It’s this big black and silvery box. Across the front it says “Playstation 3″. He’s got this big goofy grin on his face and a Best Buy […]

Guess what WE got?!

Gaming on TV

I didn’t watch long, but during a commericial I happened to see an advertisement for MLG. After the wrestling they were having an hour long or half hour […]

Gamespot War of the Titans

They were kind enough to spam me with an e-mail flier announcing their BF2142 tournament is going to be on “TV” for all of us to watch as two teams battle it out for nice cash reward and a smattering of other prizes as well. Apparently there’s already been a bunch of matches, but […]

Halloween Themed FPS

In the mood for something festive and spooky but you’ve already played through FEAR a dozen five times? And let’s face it, FEAR didn’t exactly have any orange pumpkins to help get you into the spirit of things. Well, worry not. Halloween: The New Nightmare (because I guess the old one wasn’t good enough) is […]

Halo Movie Misfires

While a lot of video game to movie adaptions haven’t done so well (i.e. Doom or…*shudder* BloodRayne) Halo was looking to be slightly promising with Peter Jackson on board. Well according to a recent press release the deal is off! Sorta.
Universal and Fox withdrew their commitments to the highly anticipated adaptation at the end of […]
