"We're all the rage"
PC
Why the Taliban in the Medal of Honor is a non-issue.
Sep 3rd
Ok, let me start this off by saying I have nothing but respect and admiration for the American soldier (or sailor, marine, or airman, as the case may be). I’m working on a Masters Degree in Military History, with my focus on American military history. Reading about the experiences of American soldiers throughout history has [...]
Induced Rage: Rogue Warrior
Aug 30th
It’s been a bit slow for us on the rage front. Due to a combination of school work (for me), regular work (for Squid), and the flood of business for his gay escort business (Mack), as well as few games or scandals to get excited about, we haven’t had a great deal to provide you, [...]
I wish I knew how to quit you….
Aug 27th
So it’s been a while since I posted, I know, and I’m sorry for that. There’s just been a lot going on. I’ve had real-life commitments, there’s been general laziness, but the key factor for my lack of communication is I’ve just been really busy gaming. Now, I know it may seem a bit contradictory that I would be too busy gaming to post on my gaming blog. To those who feel this way, I ask you this. Have you ever been too busy being a douche to drop a post on www.ImABigOlDouche.com?
XFX Radeon 5970… in a gun shaped case?
Aug 27th
I caught this over on The Firearm Blog (a good site for firearms news, if you’re into that stuff). I quite honestly have no idea what demographic XFX is going for with their Radeon 5970 here. As if the gun bag itself doesn’t seem strange, the plastic gun-shaped carrier for the card itself is just [...]
Star Wars: The Old Republic will feature space combat… a la Rebel Assault?
Aug 26th
This month’s (the October issue… go figure) cover story at everyone’s favorite gaming magazine, PC Gamer, focuses on the announcement of space combat in BioWare’s up-coming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic . While I certainly think the entire concept of this game is interesting, I for one have a hard time equating the Star Wars [...]
Valve as “Kingmakers?”
Aug 24th
While browsing through Kotaku today, I ran across a short article about how a Steam sale saved small developer Introversion (makers of Darwinia, Defcon, and others). It was an interesting article, and it’s nice to see this particular developer saved from closing its doors, but the final paragraph irked me. But for everyone else…Valve may [...]
Remembering the Fallen: My experience with loss in video games
Jun 1st
Kotaku had a very good article regarding the emotional attachment that we feel (or don’t) to characters in video games. The gist of the argument, with the backdrop of Memorial Day*, was that video games very seldom allow you to make an emotional attachment to other characters in a game outside of the script. However, [...]
Kotaku confirms that Valve loves the PC
Apr 21st
There is a post up on Kotaku that discusses the new “Mutations” mode in the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC that is due out this Thursday. The new game mode sounds interesting and all, but the last paragraph was what caught my eye: Purchased being a relative term, of course. Xbox 360 players can expect [...]
Yahoo! points out that online language is offensive
Apr 16th
Yahoo! Games has an article up today about the offensive language that many online gamers use when shooting one another and generally causing death and destruction. Lest you think that I’m going to tear the article apart, I will say up front that it actually presents opposing viewpoints and gives them proper weight, and seems [...]
PAX EAST 2010 Graphics Part 2: AMD/ATI
Apr 2nd
So, clearly PAX East was NVIDIA’s big event. But that doesn’t mean that AMD/ATI was just twiddling their thumbs. Yeah, their booth may not have been huge, but they had boxes running Bad Company 2, DiRT, and Hawx in Eyefinity (BC2 and Hawx were over 3 monitors, while DiRT was on 6). All three boxes [...]
