I did a thing tonight that I would never have expected I'd do. I think I just became a PC gamer. Ok I play games on the PC but I've had a mac for a while now so it's mainly League of Legends and whatever Steam games I feel like fiddling with that work for my system. Aside from that it's been primarily 360 and even back when I had a PC I was primarily a console kid. However, with the upcoming ne...
-minor spoilers but nothing you wouldn’t see in the trailer I think the fact that I had forgotten about this movie till it was out speaks to the quality of the last few X-Men films. Not so much X-Men: First Class, which was overall pretty great, more-so X-Men Origins: Wolverine and before that X-Men: The Last Stand. Those were not good movies. They weren’t TERRIBLE but…well, ok they kinda were,...
I posted this originally on my blog so you duders can ignore the 'if you're not familiar with Giant Bomb' bit. Some of this stuff is probably pretty obvious to members of this community but I wanted to try to explain to people who aren't as involved and maybe wouldn't understand, why Ryan dying is such a bummer. Anyway...yeah. ------------------------------ I didn’t know Ryan Davis. At the same...
Six years is a long time to wait. …Like Clockwork , the follow up to Queens of the Stone Age’s last album Era Vulgaris has been a while coming. Oh sure, frontman JoshHomme has kept himself busy, between releasing albums with his other bands Them Crooked Vultures and Eagles of Death Metal and producing the Arctic Monkeys album Humbug (not to mention becoming a dad). Even still, it’s taken six ye...

First off a disclaimer. No, TWO disclaimers. First of all, I know this list is late. Like, really late. The reason is I had a few titles I wanted to finish up before I wrote anything about them and also I’m pretty lazy and it takes me forever to do anything, so if you’re past the point of caring about a top ten list, totally get that. Also spoilers. Second, there’s a number of games I didn’t ge...
Being an iphone owner and having come from owning a Blackberry (shudder) Android has always been something I've heard about, but have had no experience with. It's always seemed like a potentially great platform with very few devices actually taking full advantage of what it can do, or just doing it poorly. My opinion has changed lately, in large part due to the Nexus 7, the first Android tablet...
First off, a disclaimer. I don't consider myself a fanboy. Over the years, I've jumped back and forth from PS to N64 and bought a PS2 on launch day and loved it, bought a Gamecube and thought it was great. I'm of the opinion that in this current generation, both the PS3 and 360 are totally valid and from a games standpoint, bring plenty to the table. That being said, I've been pretty firmly sea...
Not really. I like you guys. But do you have to hit the lock button so fast? There's been a few instances where pretty nonsense threads get locked but they're funny nonsense. Like the Avril marriage thread. Yeah it's stupid and pointless but so is a whole lot of what's great about Giant Bomb. Jeff even commented in that thread. How often does the staff do that? Not very often. That happened rec...
In which a Duder with too much time on his hands decides to marathon the Mass Effects. Click here for Part 1 This took a bit longer to get up, life got in the way. These will be a little more regular from now on. Creating the Universal Soldier It’s time to make some decisions, time to tweak some sliders, time to do everything I can to keep my Shepard from looking like a mutant. The easiest thin...
I’ve decided, against my better judgement, to play through Mass Effect’s 1 and 2 before I play through 3 and I’m going to document the experience. Why, you might be asking? Well there’s a few reasons, which I’ll go through for anybody who might be interested. Reason the first: As of yet I haven’t contributed a huge amount to the community outside of forum posts and a review of a book that, judg...
I've heard a lot about this whole Onlive mumbo jumbo and while sorta interested, haven't given it much thought. Reactions that i've heard about the service have seemed mostly middling. Some better, some worse. From what i've gathered, it seems like cool tech but its not setting the world on fire. That's nothing new to anybody I'm sure. Recently, however, my interest in the service went from "ca...
I thought I'd use my blog to throw a review on here, yeah I know it's not a book website but as there's no Whiskey Media Book website and I know there's some 40K fans on here, what the heck. I just finished reading this book and I cannot recommend it enough. If you’re a fan of Imperial Guard, the 40K universe, or you just want to read a good book, you really should pick this one up. It’s writte...
