Hooray!  I’ve been waiting for another installment.  The first four of these hilarious videos, created and narrated by Ross Scott, portray Gordon Freeman going through the original Half-Life as somewhat of an impatient, selfish boor.  They’re  linked in this post.
And now part five joins them.

…I’m about to get an eentsy bit political on your asses.  Seriously.
We’ve got a bunch of stuff to vote on next week.  We have to vote for president of some country, maybe ours, I think?  I don’t really keep up on the news.  And we have to vote on some other stuff.  It’s a bit […]

Side effects of playing Fallout 3 may include:

Lack of sleep
Inability to focus at work
Visions of enormous roaches
Poor lipsynching
Ability to stop time
Stuffed inventory

Fun game.  Or should I say, fun games: comparing notes with a couple other people who are playing it, we seem to all be having wildly different experiences.  One has a house and a […]

Just because I’m already being hounded to somehow insert Nondrick into Fallout 3, here you go.

Keep in mind, this is NOT A PROMISE FOR A FALLOUT 3 BLOG.  I CAN BARELY KEEP THE OBLIVION ONE UPDATED, REMEMBER?

If this applies to you, get in there and have fun, and know that my […]

…since Fallout 3 comes out today.
First off, that FOV fix I posted about the other day works great.   Now I’m playing in true 16:10 widescreen, the game feels more natural and I don’t feel like my eyes are protruding eighteen inches out of my head. I have forearms now!
My second major problem with the game […]

So, some crybaby wrote a letter to the Washington Post describing his distaste for the Fallout 3 ads in the D.C. Metro, according to Shacknews.  The ads feature a war-torn and decaying future vision of Washington D.C., where the game takes place.
“The people of our city do not need a daily reminder that Washington is […]

I spend most of my workday wishing I was home playing games, but somehow, when I actually have the time to play them, I tend to do other stuff instead.  Weird.
Award-Winner “Tom” Francis, however, has been playing  Far Cry 2, and rather than just griping about the things he doesn’t like about the game, he’s […]
