I remember Brad or one of the other Bombardiers speaking about a wish for FTL to have a way to kind of write out a story based on a session of play with the game. Well this is not that, but it is something I batted out my last play of the game (which I didn't finish because of wanting to write this). No title, just words, such as they are. Enjoy, if anyone reads this. --------------------------...

So I just stumbled upon a couple of Minecraft mods that I am going to have to check out. One is called Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders (via pcgamer.com )which (as the name implies) adds lighting effects that look pretty damned good. There is also apparently a mod called Minerraira (Minecraft wiki via Pcgamer.com) which adds features from Terraria in to Minecraft. Never played Terraria, so i'...

(Via Kotaku ) So, I am not the most well versed on video game music, but every now and then, I like it when I come across some to check out. I just ran across this a few minutes ago, so why not. Epic Games, purveyors of Jazz Jackrabbit and some other games some people may know about just put out a collection of tracks that spans their 20 years in the video game business. There are tracks from t...

Just kicking this game around a little. After barely nailing a free-ball landing at an airport, (yay, me?), I saw that you could pull up a takeoff/landing checklist by hitting 'q'. It probably said that somewhere, but who pays attention to that kind of stuff anyway...? Anywhoo, I clicked on the checklist on how to maintain cruising speed and at the bottom under the checklist was an option to au...

So I happen to stumble over to the Diablo III site upon buzz of a another possible release date change. I've been pretty much on media blackout for this game, with the exception of watching the beta quick look a half a dozen times, because I knew I was getting it however it turned out. What caught my eye was this post from yesterday about class skill that the devs are posting videos of. There w...

I hope this counts as a mascot. If not....oops?

It has probably been said already what the DLC is about but, I'll be a little disappointed if it's not the Saint's Row characters with Red Faction: Armageddon 's weapons. On Mars, would be even better....and an Pigs In Space (the skit, not the game) homage. Okay, that might be asking for too much, but still.

which I keep thinking of as rock hard for some reason, is out. Cool mechanics to the game and the moment, doesn't seem that long. Then again, I've gotten a little farther than the guys did in the quick look ex for it. Speaking to where I am, obvious trope is obvious, but I am curious to see how it will play out. We'll see how it goes.

...Now that that's out of the way I'm wondering about some things. While there are a few games i'm looking forward to, I think back to being more excited about more games coming around this time of year. Granted, my tastes in gaming are not exactly meshing with the "big games' of late nor have I finished a lot of the games that are getting more sequels this year.. I'm not a big shooter fan, but...

You coulda been a contender... Raise your VMU's up and pour one out (if you have the agility to do so) for a pretty great/potentially awesome system. *salute*

After beaming down with my away team, we discovered this sculpture while exploring. If this is that planet called Pandora I've heard so much about, then this is my...our lucky day. The history logs from Rear Admiral Kirk were very specific in detailing his exploits here. Should we happen upon any 8 ft. tall blue women he called...." the tightest, loosest, giant smurfs you'll have the pleasure w...

I was listening to a podcast yesterday and a question was asked about games other people hated but the podcaster’s thought were good. The game State of Emergency was brought up and was dismissed by all there. This is not the first time that game had been given the lemon face treatment. The funny thing is, I don’t understand why. This game for me falls under a couple of categories. 1) It is a ga...

I waited for it Just finished playing demo Full game won't unlock (sad panda)
