Thanks to GamerDork podcast #038 (with Leigh Alexander weighing-in as guest), I was seriously convinced into giving Sleep is Death a spin.
In a nutshell, Sleep is Death is a two player ONLY game by Jason Rohrer. It’s kinda like the game is actually just an interface for an old school narrative role-playing-game (think DnD without [...]
Valve just released an update to Team Fortress 2 that, among other bugfixes, allows the item unlocks via Sniper/Spy achievements. This doesn’t mean that the random item drops were removed (though they did do some back-end tweaking recently), but now you have a more deterministic method of getting your weapon unlocks… for the Sniper and [...]
[update 3]
Looks like they put back Achievement based unlocks for the Sniper/Spy!
[update 2]
Erik Johnson from the Official TF2 Blog made a post regarding their intentions on the new system. The system is intended to be time based, which should give more items for players who play more. Items are to be made tradable, which explains [...]
We already know that the PC release of Street Fighter IV is early July (July 2 for Japan, July 7 for US). It’s been around two weeks since the release date announcement was made, and details on the release have slowly been trickling-in. For a guy who has no console, this is a must-buy. Unfortunately, [...]
Not total darkness, mind you, but dark enough to notice. When you walk outside, it’s almost like it’s really late and the stores are closed, but they’re not, the lights (if any) are just dim. I finished dinner with some old colleagues when Earth Hour struck, and I decided to spend some quality time with [...]
If the only thing stopping you from getting this wonderful wonderful game is the price, then Steam is giving you no excuses this weekend.
World of Goo is only five bucks (US$4.99) in this weekend’s Steam sale. If you’re really stingy, check-out the demo 1st and find out if it’s worth it (yes it is!).
I’m telling [...]
She’s nice and elegant, but she can dish it out, and she’s got 4gig RAM!
She showed me Windows 7, and it was is good.
She let me play Left4Dead, and it was is good.
My old PC lived a good life, she was there for many memorable times. A soldier, that one, just kept on chugging. But [...]
The last game I bought in 2008 was The Orange Box, and I must say that for Team Fortress 2 alone, the price was worth it. I’ll probably love the whole package more after I get my new PC, as The Orange Box proves (even if it was released last 2007!) that my current rig [...]
Steam is having a holiday sale! From now until 2009.01/02, there are discounts on everything! The discounts range from 10%-75%, so there be bargains here and there. Portal and Team Fortress 2 are definitely steals at 5 and 10 bucks (though why not just get both and more for 27 bucks?).
I wasn’t [...]
The Orange Box was released on 2007, so getting it just now (as mentioned in my previous post) makes me a bit late in the game. My system can barely run Portal, and I’ve even run out of virtual memory (a problem I rarely encounter).
Still, in my bone-headed desire to fill the time until I [...]
