Like a lot of current-day gamers, I cut my online teeth on developer Jagex's pay-premium title Runescape. The formula was, perhaps, not a new one, but it worked: free access to start with, but you have to pay cash to do anything useful. A...

Oblivion's problems were never really about the combat. They were about much bigger reasons that were much more distasteful, sweeping things like story and characters. And in those departments, it seems Bethesda's finally done us a good tu...

As a medium, games have an unprecedented ability to manipulate. Control isn't a one-way street; with total access to all your unconditioned animal responses, video games are a canvas for truly telling forays into what we are capable of bein...

Dearest GameStop Girl, When I walked into your store that fateful Tuesday, I expected only to find a smattering of half-decent titles tucked back there amongst the used 360 games. Instead I found you, surrounded by a beam of light, halfw...

Spotted this during one of my late night trips on StumbleUpon. Now, I watched intently and found myself nodding a lot, and up until number one, the only thing I found myself thinking was "Where is 2007?". With a tremendous amount of ant...

Via TheMinusWorld. Notice the shirt. How come everybody else knows about these things before I do?

I've always been a huge fan of Charles Bukowski's poetry (if you want to call it that). Simple language, simple style, simple scheme, and it packs so much unbelievable fervor and energy. Well, it just so happened I had Bethesda's upcoming s...

William Singlagah, a 28-year-old New Zealander, went above and beoynd to express his fury towards a 15-year-old agitator in Wellington. For lack of a better weapon, he picked up and heaved-to with a nearby hedgehog, striking the boy in th...

I've had this gift copy of Half-Life 2 lying around on Steam since I bought The Orange Box, and I've been trying to give it away to close friends of mine but none of them have decent PCs, just out-of-box pieces of shite. So, I turn to my n...

It's fucking Hayden Chris Hansen.

I love lava lamps. I hope beyond hope that somebody at Western is from Dtoid, so I'll know somebody when I go there. We can PNAR at a NARP. I'll buy the beer. Or find it, at least. He really does, you should trust him. This only hap...

Saw this on Newgrounds very recently, a very satisfying Stumble from StumbleUpon. The creator says the original lyrics are such: Audi famam illius. I have heard of his rumor. Solus in hostes ruit He alone rushed into his enemies et patr...

Author's note: I like to consider myself a writer, if I consider myself anything. At least, it's my most developed skill besides drinking. So, when I seeing all the other artistic, musical, and wordtastic contributions others were making...

I recently read an article on GunSlot.com - a website presumably for gun aficionados - which, like the gaming Top 10's that crowd today's internet like Lara Croft's blouse, assert a number of uninspired and completely rote choices for gam...

It does! Looking forward to playing with Friday Night Fights again, if TF2 downloads in time.

In the world of geekdom and gaming, a world made famous by the blissful escapism it provides, it becomes very sobering to deal with the things we try to avoid: personal problems like drug addictions or dissolving marriages, cataclysms that ...

I've been doing some work on some new banners for my blog. I'm posting all the candidates here, I've only got one done so far but I have to do some work now, so I'll keep posting with new ones as they come. Feedbakk pleej.

So, I'm just puttering around online fifteen minutes ago when I notice something unusual in one of the auto-generated adverts at the bottom of the page. Now, it's an article related strictly to gaming, which is going to be read almost stric...

Those of you who play in TF Tuesdays: Say a prayer (or cook some spaghetti) for me as you play tonight. Today marks my third consecutive week without functioning gaming apparatus. No, I did not purchase a "Bill Gates Fail Machine", I just h...

Two days ago, Toshiba announced that they had ceased production on all HD-DVD media and equipment. Essentially, the war between the two competing high definition storage mediums - Blu-Ray and Toshiba's "HD-DVD" - has drawn to a close. In...

Author's Note: I'm looking for someone to argue the positive side of this. My fingers are bitchin' up a storm over here, and I don't want to get too long-winded on yeh. Any volunteers? It has been - and I mourn for this - a very long time...

Would like to wish you a happy Valentines day. Unlike these other heartless misanthropes, I - despite being lamentably single - can somehow manage to enjoy the giddy delirium of the Feb Fourteen commercial clusterfuck known for these bast...

A lot of you have probably played Offroad Velociraptor Safari, seeing as it's free and you're cheap. And I know, while you were playing it, you probably thought: "Hitting raptors with a sodding jeep! This is the best thing that's ever happe...

Thought I'd enrich your day. Some of the best ones I've had? "Gonna be a while? Grab a prostitute!" "Get the hand habit." "You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with The Dentist" (mostly because it actually make...

I hate to be the guy that has you hanging on his word - your mother was very vocal about her disappointment - but FNF was incredible, and you should all be looking relentlessly forward to not only a TF2 machinima parody of "300", but also a...

This has nothing to do with gaming. But for what it's worth, I don't give a flying fuck. Look, I drink... My blog anyways, bitches.

Due to my rigorous training as a member of the Fisher-Price militia when I was a young , I gained motor control enough to press a button within a very few months of my life on Earth; what this meant for me (and you, thank God) is that I’...

I put this in here to prime you while I complete my Good Idea/Bad Idea entry in MS Word. But, honest to God, it's one of the most candid and well-written articles I've seen in a while, regardless of what function it serves in this blog. Rea...

At other user's behest, I compiled all of today's Garry's Moddery into one post. Sorry for the spam, folks.

Kane and Lynch is not a bad game. Moving on. I recently had the opportunity to play the game that got Jeff Gerstmann fired (?) and almost sank the Internets, and I've gotta say, we've really been making a bigger deal of than needed to ...
