I just ran across this fun Bioshock clip conglomeration on YouTube. I must say that I’m pretty excited for this game, but it does look rather creepy. I’m all for a bit of spooky “tension” in my games, but hopefully it’s not so creepy that I can’t finish it. (Yeah… I’m [...]

I’d like [...]

It’s been a long time coming, but I think the virtual world is just about ready for permanent habitation. I’m not talking about some lame excuse for reality like 2nd Life or PSHome, but I’m pretty sure I could spend the rest of my days lounging around and sipping frosty beverages on the shores [...]

Published by March 20th, 2007 in Gadgets and Games. 4 CommentsAs if I needed to be shown up in Guitar Hero any more than I already am daily on YouTube. While there are humans with wonderful skills, now we get the chance to test ourselves, John Henry-style, against a machine. Unfortunately, this fellow has no fact to melt, and so faces disqualification from most respected [...]
