Duck and Cover

I'd love for Alan Wake to come out some day, but Remedy seems content to just play keep-away with it until we're all next to dead (if not a bit longer). I seem to recall that this was initially "pushed back" so that it could come out on the PC and be an X-Box 360 launch title. God only kno...

A wise choice.

The movie was decent in stretches but all in all kind of "meh". I thought they spent a lot of unnecessary time bastardizing actual lore when they could have just come up with their own like in the first two movies. Anyone who knows anything about Chinese mythology is going to want to pound...

Have they come out and said that it's "Advanced Power Armor"? Given the closer similarity to the standard T-51b I was just assuming that it was a similar/earlier model that the Brotherhood had dug up a cache of. Then again, I live in a fantasy world of self-delusion where I think that Beth...

I get what you're saying, but not what you're trying to tell me. What is all of this here to prove?

Have you ever heard a group of grown/sober men act more like a pack of retards than the hosts and audience in this bit? The first or second time someone explodes an audience member actually screams "FALLOUT 3!" with the tone and resonance often reserved for a drunken jack-ass declaring tha...

Huh. That's a lot to jack-knife into one film, especially the modern ninety minute action flick. Any word on whether or not Vlad will be making an appearance?

The San Fransisco is pretty nice, especially for a mid-city zoo. I'm glad to hear that they're still open. Those kids that got themselves hurt last year snuck in after hours and, from the reports I read, two of them dangled the one who died over the edge of the pit. From the wounds, it looked like t...

That looks... surprisingly not shit. I guess they're going out of their way to more closely link the Valkyr drug to the supernatural Valkyrie concept, which is neat I suppose. I just hope that they don't muck about with the story too badly, it was really the best thing that the first game had going ...

Wanted was neat, but preposterous. It has next to nothing to do with the comic which for the purpose of adaptation I'm going to say is a good thing.

If you can look past A LOT of ridiculous things and enjoy the explosions and shooting you'll be fine.

280 hit points at level five? Please tell me that's just for play testing purposes.

They have (some of) the original devs on board wtih both EJ and FO online. Either this means they're cheap, or they... I dunno. Probably they're cheap. Well it's something at least. Earthworm Jim just strikes me as an interesting choice. I think that they'd have to do some pretty significant overha...

I suppose that I wasn't particularly clear, which I guess just goes to show why me and early morning posting aren't friends... What seems strange isn't the fact that there isn't going to be a demo (though I think their stated reasons for not releasing one sound particularly hollow) but the fact that...

I actually went through the trouble of creating a snide tirade in which Earthworm Jim represented the Fallout license but it was obvious and not worth typing out fully.

Instead, I shall say this: Earthworm Jim? Seriously, Interplay? After ten years? Jesus!

For me, this completely underlines how lazy Bethesda is... How hard is it to make a demo, really? I mean, you've got an area, you've got some content. I'm assuming that since they're designing a damn video game that they at least have those things in some form. You take the content and you put it in...

Eh, the stuff is pretty neat I guess. By no means is any of it a deal-maker, though if I did end up buying the game it'd probably be in that form... If only because I collect art books.

I'd volunteer, but eventually I'd start linking to apocalypse themed articles (which didn't go over well the last time it was a news trend) and before too long I'd begin to just make shit up.

Make more enemies. It won't stop next week's attack, but eventually we'll have so many that they'll start to trip over each other.

We had a brush with a tornado here yesterday. Ended up getting about six inches of hail in fifteen to twenty minutes. The neat part was that the storm only hit half of the apartment complex and when it cleared there was a near-perfect line of piled ice and debris running down the center of the parki...

That'd make for a nice change.
