There are a serious lack of pirate themed video games. There really is. If Bungie ever follow through on their famous joke to produce a call called “Pimps at Sea,” I will be in rapture. Dirty dirty rapture.
But that’s not what this is about. Cliff ‘Cliffski’ Harris, owner of Positech Games (a small indie games [...]

CNET UK has a well funny article on the 30 dumbest videogames ever made.
Enjoy.
In at least 3 ways.
1. Back in Finland. Toronto was great, got a lot of good work done, hung out with *almost* everyone I wanted to, and generally had a productive and fun time. Brought 2 suitcases back of belongings for Maija and I (go Monopoly and Risk!)
2. I foolishly left the power adapter for [...]
The US army has recently received a fully functional rail gun. RAIL GUN!
Instead of relying on chemical propellants — such as gunpowder — a rail gun uses magnetic “rails” to launch a solid, nonexplosive projectile at incredible speed. Theoretically, rail guns would be able to precisely strike targets at extreme ranges, and would negate the [...]

First reaction… I’m nervous. Haven’t we all seen EA put out identical sports title year after year after year? Obviously they do a lot of other games, but I’m still worried about this.

I suppose it’s not so different from when Microsoft purchased Bungie, and that seemed to work out in the long run.

Congresspedia and video game laws
Published October 12th, 2007 in News, Recommended Reading and Video Games. 0 CommentsLittle bit for the politicos.
Congresspedia is a US congress related wiki. They recently launched a project called “Wiki the Vote” where you can read, add, and edit the profiles of all US congressional candidates. I think is absolutely superb.

Holy wow. This is everywhere.
Without reading these articles, I’m speculating:
1. Bungie wants to move on from Halo. They’ve had a great time, but they know Microsoft’s tendency to beat a dead horse. So they’re out.
2. Related to point 1, they want to try something new. If you look at Bungie’s history, they used to develop [...]
I found this article quite interesting. It’s about Bioware, the company who makes Knights of the Old Republic, among other games. Knights is an RPG game, with a load of conversation. How a game with this much conversation and changeable morality based plot lines is actually planned out and written, is something that has intrigued [...]
I finished reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula last night. What a truly excellent book. I encourage you to read it. So many great elements and things going on. It’s told from the perspective of 5 different people, so the diction and world-view is constantly changing. Remember it’s set in the 19th century, so there’s a lot [...]
