Because like Mr. Funtax, everyone care about my political opinions thanks to my position in computer games and general bloggery!
I am biased here: I like Barack Obama a lot. I have often griped how politicians talk to us like seven year olds. He doesn’t. He actually treats the electorate as adults. What’s more, he’s the [...] Read More...

(in between levelling my shaman in WoW, anyway…)

My brain just exploded. I blame Schild.
I’d comment… but seriously. What would I say? Other than my head lolling and going “duurrrrrr”.

Jeff Freeman takes my ball, runs it 95 yards into the end zone, spikes it, dances, and sings dramatically. (Webcam footage here.)
(I have to differ with the ironic “quotes” crediting ‘Scott Jennings’ “friend”. The “friend” in question actually said that, really!

Foxnews, that paragon of moderate, thoughtful journalism, has an article with the following title:
Online Game Meetings Sometimes End Tragically, but Phenomenon Remains Rare

Well, that’s an unfortunate patch bug.
CCP’s latest major patch to the EVE-Online client, Trinity, comes with an optional DX9-enhanced graphics patch that dramatically improves the visual quality of the in-game graphics through remade models, textures, and HDR. It also has an unfortunate bug: the incredibly stupid choice of boot.ini as a game configuration file, coupled [...] Read More...
