the first paradox of gaming

Source: (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/30/picture-it-the-first-paradox-of-gaming/)

it's true. as age and ability to buy games increases, the amount of free time to play decreases. it's pretty sad. i'm going through this now. :'(

halo rts for xbox360

Source: (http://halowars.com/)

the trailer made me pee myself a little bit.

and it's the age of empires people. if anybody can make a good and solid rts, it's them. my only concern is how to actually play a rts on a console. i don't think any console rts game figured that part out perfectly yet.


update: just watched it again. spartan group omega? oh please fuck yes.

free mmo zombie game

Source: (http://urbandead.com/)


Urban Dead is a free-to-play browser-based multi-player game where you play the survivor or victim of a zombie outbreak in a quarantined city centre, alongside tens of thousands of others.

In death, the city stirs. Its borders still locked down after a sudden government quarantine last year, Malton's trapped civilians make their way through the derelict buildings, surviving the winter to rebuild their fragmented society from the rubble upwards. Military cleanup squads patrol the empty streets, stationed in the city for the long haul, while embedded scientific groups continue the experiments that brought them here.

And the dead rise up and thrive, trailing through the ruined streets of the city, milling between buildings and clawing through makeshift barricades and diversions, reclaiming the city as their own.

Ausiello: What's this I hear about David Cross coming on as his Arrested Development character?
Braff: That's what I'm trying to broker. I'm a huge fan of his and so is Bill, and our idea was that he would play Tobias in an episode. Obviously, we have to get that cleared by a lot of people, like [Arrested creator] Mitch [Hurwitz] and Fox, but that was my pitch. David wants to do it.

Ausiello: Is it your goal to get the entire Arrested Development cast on Scrubs?
Braff: [Laughs] Yeah, one by one. I was such a fan.

hell yes

wii and nintendo, best summarized by penny arcade

Source: (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2001/12/14)

from a gaming forum...


Well, the PS3 entry model is $500, not $600. 600 for the upgraded HD. But that is beside the point. My point is - look at those Tennis players heads - OMG! They are spheres! Vic20, Apple IIe sprites? Come on...my PS3 Tennis players will have grimmaces, sweat running down their faces, and strands of hair moving to real physics. Why? Because I AM a gamer. Not a pre-teen. I am not after bouncing dwarfs, discs, trading card games. Please do not confuse the two of us under the one term of "Gamer." The Wii is an alternative to the PS3. Yes. There are hundreds of alternatives to Ferarri, too. But given a choice, and within my reach...

high def home entertainment media centers

these are awfully tempting.

AVeL LinkPlayer2 for Consumer

Eureka LX350 HD High Definition Wireless Media Center with DVI

i'm still kinda content with my pc media center though. although it's a pain in the ass sometimes, it's still more flexible overall than one of these things.

an old bed closes and a new bed opens

Source: (http://www.simmons.com/products/brands/beautyrest/worldClass.html)

got my new bed delivered today and got rid of the one that i've been using for decades. decades. it's something that i've been putting off for about a year but finally did this weekend.

i suppose that old bed was a part of me and it's a strange feeling to replace something so familiar that my parents bought a long time ago. it's that same feeling that i had when i bought my own travel luggage earlier this year instead of borrowing my parent's. it's my bed now. that thought is bewildering and exhilerating at the same time.

so the details of this bed is that it's a simmons wilshire of the beautyrest world class mattress family. i consider it a 15-20 year investment. it's got 2 inches of "pillow top" foam or something that makes it plush. it's queen sized so it's omg xbox huge lol. it takes up like a third of my bedroom. and it's so tall i may need a stepladder to get on and off. and god help me if i fall of it, i'll probably need to be treated for wind and atmosphere burns.
