Max Payne trailer: Leak or marketing gimmick?

I just want to share two videos I found about the impending release of Diablo III. Whew! It’s shaping up nicely … very nicely.

Stupid Mario Brothers? Fanfic makes them look more stupid

I’m starting to feel sorry for Mario and Luigi. So much fan fiction, most of which on YouTube, and a majority of them plays up the plumber brothers’ negative traits to the point of absurdity.
Take, for example, this video series, dubbed Stupid Mario Brothers, by Rich Alvarez. They portray Mario and Luigi in the worst […]

Karateka: The dude gets his revenge

In my last post I talked about Karateka, giving a little background about the video game (for those who don’t know about it) and lavishing my praise on, in my humble opinion, one of the best fighting games.

Venting out aggression in video games

I used to co-own an Internet gaming cafe with a group of friends, and before it was called that, the small shop had been a simple network gaming cafe, where we congregated for serious slugfests after work (yes, we had day jobs).
And by “serious slugfests,” I meant SERIOUS because every member of our eight-man barkada […]

The History Of Gaming, Part Seven: What Really Happened To Krypton

Thrust was a classy game. Simple, elegant, relying on simulated gravity - which had been around since that early Space War game - to create dazzlingly difficult puzzles that tested your skill and your nerves to the utmost, right up until it ran out of levels and just turned the screen upside down.
It looked like […]

Seven Days Of Elite, Day Three: Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You

No, not THE 733T OF ELITE. Honestly, what do you think I am?
Anyway, It occurred to me while I was spending an hour playing the mini-Elite I linked to yesterday - thus negating any benefit that posting it up in the first place had given to my schedule - that Elite is almost certainly contains […]

The Strange Case Of Mr. F, Part Two: The Horror At 17 Stabbington Close

In which Tom Baker, broadcasting through the power of the imagination, reads the next chapter in the hideous saga of Mr. F, who turned his home into a charnel house in pursuit of wealth and power.
But first, here’s something from ‘AngelLover89′ - another instructional video on how the Sims is, and always has been played, […]

The Strange Case Of Mr. F, Part One: I Am My Own Special Creation

Or: This wierd quirk (for simulated murder) I’ve tried to suppress and hide is a talent that could help me meet The Wizard…
Today’s YouTube comes from ‘audreanaisawesome’, who kindly demonstrates how to play the original Sims game, way back at the turn of the Millennium.

Some might turn around and say that this is needlessly cruel […]
