Why do you keep playing video games?
 
It's always an interesting question to me. Replys I have, gotten in my life, from asking this question are usually as followed: I just simply love gaming,video games are fun, and occasionally I got nothing else to do.

    Why do we keep tacking hours up playing consoles, computers, and portable systems?

Well for some it's probably the feeling you get when you totally pwn that noob heading for the sniper rifle. Others i…  More

So, I figured I'd actually jump on the bandwagon and start one of these wowriot blogs which seem popular among top wow players. Seeing as I plan on being pretty active in the PVP / PVE world in WOTLK I guess it's about time I start one of these up.

Mostly you will probrably find me ranting or reminising about UO in this. It happens it was a great came end of story. Once I find the time to actually hit 80 though I'm sure there will be tons of arena talk in here.  More

Not only are their hacks to play as zombie bosses in Left 4 Dead, play split screen on the PC with a mouse/keyboard and 360 controller, but apparently the demo will even spawn zombies in various other maps.  For instance:

Less than two years ago it was announced that millions would be invested into the UK gaming scene with the refurbishment of previous Omega Sektor venues and the construction of a new gaming venue in Birmingham. You may remember that the new  venue was labeled as the "Wembley Stadium of Gaming" by some of the press, however, after little more than a year of being open to the public, it has been announced that it will have to be shut down due to huge debts.

According to an article at Cadred.org, t…  More

Of all the drafts, Kat Hunter's most resembles a lit fuse with a boat full of dynamite at the end.

That doesn't mean they're on a one-way trip to destruction. Any number of things could defuse the situation. But once the season's over, we're going to look back at the draft and think "wow, look at all the shrapnel that pick caused", or they're going to sail off into the sunset. There isn't a middle option.

To be honest, I think she was t…  More

This is almost a 'part two' in regard to what I wrote earlier today about how Melee players who like Brawl should wait a little while longer before coming to a conclusion.

 

These thoughts that I'm about to tell you about didn't come to mind until after I wrote that column and then took a walk to an arcade located near my home. 

 

My hope is that the Smash community doesn't become divided to the point there's a debate about whether big-money tournaments should be held for Melee or…  More

What's a perfect draft? Is it looking back ten years from now, when all the players have reached their potential, and realizing you would have made the same choices? Or is it easier than that - is a perfect draft just making the best choices at the time, because nobody can possibly predict the career paths of fifty gamers?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I don't know if that question even has a rational answer. But right now, my gut tells me that 3D came damn close to having a perfect draft.

A few days have passed since the draft and things are starting to finally settle in. The players are starting to hand in their contracts and the season seems like an eternity away. I am so excited about 2008 and even more excited about this team; I just wish the season was starting s…  More
