So I was playing this stupid shooter recently, and like a stupid shooter it at one point continually spawned enemies until I performed a certain action. My girlfriend kept count, and I knocked off 25 guys in the couple minutes it took me to complete my objective. That got me thinking: How many pe

I could wrap things up here, but inevitably, I have to compare Mass Effect to Oblivion. It's not my fault this time, though, it's my girlfriend's fault. While watching me play, she asked, "Why is it I can watch you play this game, but watching you play Oblivion makes me want to kill myself?"

I borrowed a 360 from a friend and slapped in my harddrive, so I get to keep gaming while my Elite's being un-E74'd. I'm working on my third playthrough of Mass Effect, this time on Hardcore difficulty. This is actually kinda difficult, as I created a fresh character, instead of starting with one

Palantas' Xbox Live Update Impressions

I've been pretty busy lately, so I didn't do much reading on the new update.  I'd heard various things, but I had not exhaustively researched it by running a quick Wiki search like I learned how to d

When the Team Fortress update first came out, I said that I was going to withhold any definitive comments until I'd put about 50 hours into the game under the update. Well, I've put abo

I know I haven't published in a while, and today I'm fixing that. This is an article concerning Team Fortress 2, which I typed about a month ago, and never posted for some reason. I'm glad I revisited it, as much of it is very relevant to the current state of the game. This is going to be the fir
