I remember way back in the Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar book, there was a page about all of the face models used to create the NPCs. It turns out that not only has the Combine Overwiki compiled this page, but added more photos ( Read more... )

I would love to see a gaming news blog without the snark of Kotaku ( Read more... )

How does a shipment originating in Kansas, destined for Seattle, somehow get to Texas and then four days later show up in New York?

In traditional newspapers, there is a concept called "above the fold." Since many newspapers are shoved into dispensers, the top half of the front page is prominently featured.

I'm sure Mega Man 9 cost peanuts to make and did well for itself, so a sequel seemed inevitable ( Read more... )

And now I broke my Rock Band guitar's whammy bar. XD

It's too bad the Guitar Hero 2 360 bundle on Amazon isn't $24 anymore. Really should have bought that when I had the chance. Though, it's not like the whammy bar is completely broken. If I jostle it a bit, it will register as a constant whammy and I don't even need to wobble it. XD
