Qaddafi: Now in Your Grocer's Freezer!
Talk about rubbing in a victory! Shortly after deposed dictator Muammar Qaddafi was captured and killed by Libyans rebels, his body was transferred not to a morgue, or the insides of an urn, but rather a freezer in a Tripoli shopping center. Libyans have been lining up to take pictures of themselves next to the once fearsome, but now frostbitten ( Read more... ) -
They twist the pixels, Capcom twists the knife
There's almost an amusing irony to this. Twisted Pixel approached Capcom to distribute their game, Splosion Man, on the iPhone, only to be rejected. Later, Capcom releases its own game, called MaXplosion, for the format. You'll see why this is significant when you watch a clip of the game in action.
MaXplosion is so similar to Splosion Man that ( Read more... ) -
Lessons from 2010
A long time ago, I made a New Year's resolution not to make New Year's resolutions, because they're quickly forgotten and easily broken. Instead of making promises for the coming year, it makes more sense to examine the past year and learn from those experiences. Here now are some lessons taken from 2010...
EMBRACE YOUR FRIENDS. These were the ( Read more... ) -

Fuckin' Xbox 360, how does it work?
Not very well. My system is broken, and attempts to revive it have only make it more broken-er. Did I mention that most of my modern game collection is Xbox 360-dependent, and that I just received two games from GameFly that I'll never be able to play? All righty then. -
Escape
I just can't deal with this situation anymore. I'm living with a woman on a perpetual power trip, who takes everything she can from me, is never satisfied with what she gets, and is determined to destroy any pleasure I could hope to enjoy with her mad hysterics. The minute I got back from the Conan O'Brien performance, she is right on my ass, ( Read more... ) -
Melancholy Elephants
Popular BitTorrent site ISOhunt was recently hobbled by the US government. Technically, it still exists, but all semblance of usefulness has been stripped away, replaced with a generic search engine that makes finding content nearly impossible.
Media industry lobbyists like the MPAA and the ever-popular RIAA argue that the measure was necessary ( Read more... ) -

Yeesh... people, I swear.
I'm a little amazed by how resistant internet users have become to the offer of free stuff. It's like the fact that EVERYTHING is free on the internet has resulted in them treating their time as a precious commodity. Josh Lesnick (aka superhappy) has complained about this in the past with his comics, and after releasing my latest homebrew game to ( Read more... ) -
One month later, DTV still sucks.
Come on, television stations. The signals might be pretty good if you're living next door to the broadcast tower, but if you're out in the boonies or have transmission interference issues (ie humidity, sunlight, a friggin' butterfly getting squashed in Tokyo), they're completely terrible. Put some of that advertising money to good use and BUILD ( Read more... )
