Wait, obviously I don’t mean what it seems I mean. Although when you see what I actually mean, despite what it seems, my meaning seems to fit. Life is good [...]

Although they’re not necessarily mutually exclusive, not many realistic people are happy and fewer still happy people are realistic. We are a people looking for escape. Even if only briefly, [...]

I remember feeling awed in 2007, I hope I’m about to be thrilled again. Gears Of War, Kameo, Modern Warfare, Crysis, and Half-Life 2: Episode 2. That’s what pops up [...]

Boom! Headshot. I am the the ultimate predator. That is the fantasy of sniping, at least to me. I get the Agent 47 and the Sam Fischer stuff as well. [...]

Shhhhhh….Don’t speak. Let’s not get stuck on who called whom what and instead let’s just focus on moving forward. Said no innocent person ever. So last time was intense. The [...]

I don’t know how things are going to end. I wish I could tell you that everything worked out, and that we all got to drink cold beers together again. [...]

2013 is a supernova. Glorious, resplendent and immeasurably beautiful. Also it’s a dying star. I ain’t gonna lie, this is not a column friendly to the uninformed. I want to [...]

Sometimes I hit F5 hoping it’s all just a bad dream. I end up staring at my Survival Guide, hoping it can tell me how to survive a broken heart. [...]

I don’t mean fun, have-a-good-time crack. I mean hardcore Requiem For A Dream crack. Seriously, watch that movie. But do it with the lights on, during the day, cuddling a [...]

An All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Of Gaming Splendour You, random citizen, put that new game down. You have three games pre-ordered, your Steam library is brimming and the Indie scene is exploding. [...]

Seriously, I paid for my own copy of Borderlands 2 and Gearbox had nothing to do with the complimentary Porsche it came in. Now normally I start these things with [...]

Brace yourselves, we are about to change from beggars to kings. Financially we do the opposite, but who cares? I’ll be playing Dishonored. Recently I saw a story that shook [...]

Now I’m not saying you’re a bad person if you don’t want this game, but you probably enjoy bad things and like bad people and can at times appear to [...]

A man defending feminism, I must be on my period.   If you give me a few moments of your time, I’m going to make you hate yourself. Borderlands 2 [...]

An Assessment Of Piracy And DRM Through The Use Of Pornography. I know you’re here for the porn. But now that I have you I’m going to present one idea [...]

I’ve been feeling nostalgic of late. Maybe it’s the cold, wet weather of contemplation or perhaps it’s the long lonely, music filled bus rides of late or perhaps it’s my [...]

My new column, NOW WITH WORDS! Immersion is an odd thing. Developers toss and overwork the word as if each use directly correlates to another sold copy of their game. [...]

It’s going to be an all-out pirate extravaganzaaaarrrggghhhh This year is once again going to be another great one for the action RPG. Right on the heels of Mass Effect [...]

A diamond in the rough. Because the Aladdin in us never dies. Have you played my favourite game? Do you agree with my choice of console? Masterchief or Kratos? No?! [...]
