    Todd Howard and Ken Levine NYCC Panel

    That video reaffirmed my view that Todd Howard isn't a bad guy nor even necessarily bad designer. He's just a man doing a job and talking the talk. I somehow don't think Zenimax is a very good corporate parent. On the other side we have Ken Levine. It's not that he works for Mr. Indie, but I...

    Cold medicine and tissue paper manufacturers beware!

    Actually it's a protein and it just gets other proteins to fold in the bad way it has, but what you said is more or less right.

    Fallout 3 GotY: EMA Best RPG, PC Gamer #1

    Even if I had never played a Fallout game before I would say GTA and MGS4 were vastly superior games. People love to hate on GTAIV, often simply because they thought SA was the best GTA and people will criticize MGS4's lengthy cutscenes till the cows come home, but both of those games were...

    WGA awards snubbed

    Well to an extent a Writer's guild makes sense, because actors, while important, wdould be able to act without them, yet they are paid considerably less. But like most unions and guilds it pretty corrupted or at least has strayed largely from their original purpose.

    Todd Howard at NYCC

    I could see him asking that joke, then quickly following it up with 'No, seriously I really liked...' It's still quite crass, but at least it's not being a total jerk.

    PC Games 2009

    http://adrianwerner.wordpress.com/games-of-2009/ A pretty good list, it manages to be exhaustive without including PopCap production MCLXV or whatever. I've got to say there's a lot of good stuff in there. I'm really intrigued by the idea of a zero-g FPS, sounds like it could be fun.

    Favourite Game Endings **SPOILERS**

    I was going to say MGS4, all 2 hours of it! Seriously my friend and I starting playing the final act or so at 11 p.m., beat it by 1, but it didn't end proper till like 3!

    Fallout 3 Operation: Anchorage reviews

    Art is whatever you want it to be. If you think modern music is art, then it is. However, you can't really then say what isn't art. Art is art as long as someone somewhere considers it art. Perhaps that's just 2 days of sleeplessness talking, but I think it's pretty good.

    Killzone 2

    For once reviewers are right on the money it sounds like. It's a curious place that console shooters find themselves in now. The market maybe nearing over saturation and reviewers have caught onto the idea of a solid, if not new game. For instance to quote he who shall not be named no matter how...

    Fallout 3 Operation: Anchorage reviews

    Let me give some in sight in to this, if I can. I wrote some amatuers reviews for my school newspaper. About 2 a week so a bit more than most games critics review games in even a month. This hardly makes me an expert and I don't pretend to be a professional of any sort; I did it because no one...

    Battlefield

    One of the first games I played on my computer with friends (not counting Starcraft and Diablo) was BF1942. It was good. Good in an arcade-y sort of way. Nothing too serious, but wide scale, lots of people, and tons of cool vehicles. I'd always end up knife fighting with my bastard friends at...

    Never played any GTA titles; where to start?

    Ahhh, Lazlo! He has a radio show IRl and he's actually pretty important in the sound design for the game. Pretty cool guy, eh hosts radio and doesn't afraid of anything.

    Never played any GTA titles; where to start?

    I can agree he was abominable in the sense he was too fucking depressing. D: "Man Niko, I'm broke, I live in some busta ass tenements, got no job, just out of jail AND I'm over thirty. I ain't got nothin in dis world." N: "I'm gonna go kill myself now. Kthxbai." <jumps>

    Never played any GTA titles; where to start?

    I hate pakis...err...ummm.... GTAIV is pretty damn good, though it would probably be best if you got it on consoles. Also you might want to play it after GTAIII and GTAVC. In my opinion GTASC is much closer to the leap that 3 was from 2. Not that that's the direction I think GTA should go in...
