    Attack of the pixels

    Tom Chick posted this video on his blog. It's by some guy named Patrick Jean, and very well-made. Well worth watching, in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugV6cLgwomo&feature=player_embedded

    Rollercoaster Tycoon: The Movie

    Wtf are people thinking? This seems like almost as bad a move as Beastmaster 2. I suspect there is too much substance abuse in the movie business. link

    Hegemony: Philip of Macedon

    Since I know that a few of the members here are strategy gamers, I thought I'd mention this title. It was just released yesterday, and I've been playing it for a little while now. It's a real time strategy game, where you have to take control of ancient Greece as Philip of Macedon. I'm not...

    Endgame: Singularity

    I though some of you guys might be interested in this. It's a game in which you control the actions of an AI which has been born by accident, on a university computer. You have to escape detection by mankind who will otherwise destroy you. At the same time you have to increase the number of...

    Stalker: Call of Pripyat

    I'm a little surprised that this hasn't been discussed yet. According to gamespot, it was released on february 2., although I didn't notice until it was released on steam yesterday, with a 10 euro discount If you have either Soc or Clear Sky registered to your account. I bought it...

    Joystick recommendations

    After reading the Mechwarrior thread, I pulled out my old Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries and got hooked. I know Mechwarrior 4 will be released for free soon, but I went ahead and ordered them, since they were cheap. So now I'm missing a joystick. My old one broke down about 8 years ago, and I...

    Indie games

    Recently I realised that most of the games, I'm looking forward to play, are actually indie games. I guess this is partly because the games I like (some of them anyway), perhaps don't appeal to the majority of gamers, and so the big companies don't produce them, while small indie companies are...

    Zombie Crawl

    The Copenhagen Zombie Crawl is tonight. As I understand it, it's practised in several countries, although at different dates. I participated earlier, but felt a bit apart, since I didn't wear any make-up (I came straight from another engagement). I'll definitely be back next year with...

    Takeda 3

    Has anyone here heard of this game? It's a tactical/strategic game, based on the Sengoku Jidai, kind of a Shogun: Total War imitation, except it's better than Shogun, imo, in most respects (except for graphics, unfortunately). It's made by a small Canadian based company called Magitech, which...

    What the hell happened in 2008?

    I've been tasked with putting together a quiz for a dinner party tomorrow night. The quiz is supposed to be about events in 2008, and so far my shitty imagination and poor memory have only enabled me to come up with three questions. Two of them concern Denmark and the last one is Joe the...

    Civilization 4: Colonization

    I picked it up the other day and have been playing for a while now. My initial impressions were pretty good, but it definitely has some flaws. The biggest flaw, which virtually makes it unplayable (for me at least) comes near the end, when you declare indepence. Throughout the game the king will...

    Tropa de Elite

    This is a Brasilian film about a special police force in Rio de Janeiro, called BOPE. I don't really know what I was expecting, but I was surprised to see that the film actually seems to try to justify the use of what is essentially a death squad. It's kind of like watching Dirty Harry, except...

    XP read-only

    I was at a bit of a loss about where to post this, so I decided to just put it here. I was gonna play the cd version of Laura Bow 2 in Dosbox so I mounted the cd as a drive and tried to install the game to a folder called d:\games\oldies (also mounted as a drive in Dosbox). I got a message...

    Man Loses Fingers In Quest For Girlfriend

    Man Loses Fingers In Quest For Girlfriend How the hell could it have been worth it? He lost ALL of his fingers and some of his toes, and he didn't even meet her, much less get laid. Even if he did het laid she would have to be so unbelievably hot, for it to be worth it, that I can't even...

    The U r-Quan Masters aka Star Control 2

    http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ This isn't excactly news, but it's the first I've heard of it, so I thought I'd share, in case someone here didn't already know. These guys have ported Star Control 2 for windows, mac OS, and linux, and called it The Ur-Quan Masters. And it's freeware. On top of...

    Shatners Rocket Man

    Here's a clip of what is probably one of historys most embarrassing live performances. I know it's a very old clip, but I thought that those of you who haven't seen it yet might find it amusing. http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=6570 "I'm a rock it man!" *edit* Spelling.

    Paradox reveals Diplomacy

    http://www.paradoxplaza.com/news.asp?ArticleID=239&Page=News This should be very interesting indeed. I must admit that Ive never played the board game, but I've only heard good things about it, and if it lives up to Paradox' previous games it's bound to be good.

    A Hooker Just Od'd In My Shower

    And I'm pretty much in tears. We were three guys who went to get some pot, and we ran into a hooker. I don't know why, but we all felt like the good samaritzn, and we invited her to share our stash. We're now back at my place, drinking beer and smoking the good stuff. Next thing I know she...

    Hearts of Iron 2 has arrived

    In my mailbox. Finally. I've really been waiting for this one, it seems to be a vast improvement over the first one. I haven't actually played it yet, but I will right after I press submit.

    Does anyone else really, REALLY, hate Jamie Oliver?

    I do. I think he's a complete fucking moron, and the food he makes doesn't even look that good. You know, man, you don't have to put lime in everything you make. The reason why I'm going off like this is that I've been without tv for about 6 months, and now that I finally got it back...
