Video Game Music Link Dump


I’ve downloaded over 700 video game remix songs from OverClocked ReMix. Once the last batch is finished downloading, it will put my video game music mp3 collection at well over 1 000 songs. I can’t say that I know all the music/games very well, but it is nice to have something playing in the background.

OverClocked […]

Naked Time!


Last night, in a quiet corner of Ascalon City, I decided to take all my (character’s) clothes off. I was curious, all right? Don’t tell me that you wouldn’t be curious to see if your game character had any undergarments on! How would you know if you didn’t look, right? I wasn’t actually paying attention […]

Madness! Madness, I Say!


Politicians are insane. They get in an uproar over non-pornographic depictions of consentual sex between adults, and yet they don’t react with as much fervour to depictions of violent crime in all sorts of media.
Game Girl Advance puts the Hot Coffee scandal (and now the brewing Sims hoopla — no pun intended!) into perspective (N.B. […]

Guild Wars Bits and Bobs


We finally crossed over to Post-Searing in Guild Wars. In other words, we left the massive tutorial area, and emerged into the game world proper. The change in landscape was incredible. Everything in Ascalon is in ruins. The skyline is a red, hazy blur from all the fires that the Charr had set. Moderately powerful […]

Guilded


Dyannamika and I formed a guild! It was either going to be named the “Legion of Dynamic Discord” or the “Callers of Cthulhu“. Neither is relevant to the world of Tyria, but I think they are much better options than a dumb name like “Wheres the Dice” [WTD], which is the guild that my friend […]

Virtual Book Signing and “Non-Game” Games


I posted earlier about beginning my foray into Second Life. When I arrived in the Second Life world, there were free copies of this book floating above a decorative column near the welcome areas. Free book, so I took one. I didn’t know it at the time, but apparently the virtual copy of the book […]

T0JO: lol
Roosevelt: o this fockin sucks i got a depression!
benny-tow: haha america sux
Stalin: hey hitler you dont […]

Lipstick Gamers


Mike at Game Girl Advance has some interesting observations and comparisons in regards to women gamers.
Firstly, he states that there is an idealised notion of a girl gamer perpetuated by the media and by marketing campaigns. This creation is the “lipstick gamer”. She is extremely attractive, skilled, and a hardcore gamer. She wants guys to […]

Preachers and Haters


Christian evangelical types are making video games to spread their message, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before white supremacist groups decided to make games as well. National Alliance’s Resistance Records produces the game, entitled Ethnic Cleansing.
From the Review section on their site, comes this gem:
“…I believe this game is going […]

Angseth’s Arrival


I am just posting this so that all the relevant entries are easily accessible in case, for some reason, I need to reach them in a convenient fashion.
Guild Wars, Soon — I’m getting a new computer, and my friend is going to build it for me. W00t.
Parts Shipped — My computer parts are shipping.
