Acid for Blood

The US military is planning to win the hearts of young people in the Middle East by publishing a new comic.
It says that they want someone who is familiar with law enforcement, small unit military operations, and Arab culture and languages. There might be loads of talented artists in the military who’d be willing to […]

Yesterday was a happy day because I found out that my local Barnes & Noble now stocks my favourite games magazine (and quite possibly my favourite magazine, full stop), Edge. I haven’t read it in at least three years, so I don’t know whether I agree with critics’ views that the quality of Edge has […]

Sony has been told to pay $90.7m (£48m) in damages and stop selling PlayStation consoles in the United States after losing a patent infringement lawsuit.
Tsk tsk tsk, Sony. Didn’t anyone ever tell you that you need to ask permission before using someone else’s invention/intellectual property?
Sony are appealing, and apparently whilst the appeal is being heard, […]

My reflexes are shit. God, I’m old. Good game, though. Makes me nostalgic about the Gradius games for the SNES. The fact that Treasure’s development team created this is awesome. I love Ikaruga. Of course, this does mean that Gradius V is pretty fucking hard, though I don’t think it’s as hard as Ikaruga. Five […]

I have no time to play video games. It’s horrible. I have too many interests and priorities to be spending them playing games. And yet, I buy loads of them, and the backlog pile continues to rise.
I worked an 8-hour shift today at The G. This is unusual as they generally give me short shifts, […]

God, what an annoying site. It is populated with immature people who just want to rack up as many ‘Friends’ on their list as possible, without a second thought to who they’re adding. They also seem to use it as a place to, as one says in the vernacular, “hook-up” with others. And another thing, […]

I find it funny that I’m the only one on GameSpot who is Now Playing Yourself!Fitness. I also find it funny that I’m (as of today) one of only six people who own the game, or at least admit to owning it.

Apparently I’m a member of a special gaming forum now, in which you have to prove your 1337-ness by writing 100 words on why they should accept you as a member. Also, you have to be invited in by an existing member of the forum. I was headhunted, though I daresay it might not be […]

I might make this a blog about gaming. And media? Gaming, films, TV, books, comics, music? Seems broad, but my tastes are broad.
What could I possibly write about? It’s not as if my posts to Girl Gamers are filled with scintillating insight. I mostly post interesting links. In the past, I have engaged in intelligent […]

We were hurting for subs and reserves today at the store, so I pre-ordered Killer 7. Having read up on it recently, I’m quite intrigued by the game. Considering the fact that I do tend to like so-called “arty” films, I’m interested in a game that people are calling the very “first video game art […]
