Mass Effect: Revelation
I just finised reading Mass Effect: Revelation by Drew Karpyshyn, the lead writer of the upcoming Mass Effect video game by BioWare. I heard about it when reading E3 2007 coverage, as the book was given out free to some attendees. I think Mass Effect is one of this Fall’s most exciting game releases, so I…

Weekly Rant #3: “Hardcore gamers” Part 2

Sony is still delusional
Ol’ Jack Trenton is at it again: I think the PS3 is the Surf ‘n Turf. You want the lobster and steak and you’re going to give yourself the treat of getting the best thing on the menu. The PS2 is your favorite burger restaurant — you go there for comfort food and it’s just…

Doh! 180 Foot Homer Upsets Local Pagans
A 180 foot image of Homer Simpson has been painted into the hillside, next to the famous fertility symbol – the Cerne Abbas giant – in Dorset. Pagans are not happy with the new addition to the hillside, and plan some ‘rain magic’ to get it washed away. Heh. How could you be upset with…
