So, there’s another little project I started and abandoned. I do this a lot, by the way. This habit of mine is why you shouldn’t get your hopes up too high about 1fort.
You probably know about the garden gnome in Half-Life 2: Episode 2. You probably know that one of the achievements is to […]

Living In Oblivion
February 14th, 2008 · 21 Comments · Blather, Gaming
Oh, yeah. One more thing.
I started a couple projects last year, quickly abandoning them as I often do. One of them involved Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
I loved, and still love, Oblivion. I just love it to death. One of the best games ever. There is so much freedom in that game, and so few […]
Goodbye, and Thank You

This isn’t going to be easy. For you, I mean. Because for literally days you’ve been visiting this blog for sporadic, incorrectly reported news and vaguely game-related topics and links to better sites. And now that’s over. And now… I’m leaving.
I’ll be in Reno for a couple days on a […]

Single-Player Games

This is just great. I love stuff like this. Craig Pearson of PC Gamer was curious as to why, when looking through a server list, there’s always a ton of servers with just one person playing. So, he took the bold step of joining those servers and asking the lone player, like, […]

Zero Punctuation
February 14th, 2008 · 7 Comments · Gaming, Humor
If you’re a gamer of any caliber, you’re already familiar with Ben “Yahtzee” Crowshaw’s Zero Punctuation video game review movie things. This week he covers Sim City Societies, a game that neither I, nor, as far as I can tell, anyone else on planet Earth gives an actual shit about.
But! What’s important here is […]

Spore To Spew In September
February 12th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Gaming
I wouldn’t go requesting vacation days yet, but kotaku is reporting that Spore has announced a release date of September 7, 2008. I’d link to the actual Spore site with the announcement but their site is all Flashy and shitty and annoying and crashed my browser once and it’s slow and I hate it […]
