Heroes Of The Pacific Demo: Review

No, I'm not sick of World War II games - to be honest, I don't think I ever could be. As long as they keep varying the game type, I'm good. I think we can all agree the WWII FPS market is a little flooded, but there aren't many (any?) really good aerial combat games. I was totally looking forward to Secret Weapons Over Normandy, especially since Michael Giacchino was announced as being the composer months before it's release. I should have known when the soundtrack was getting more hype than the game. The flying just wasn't that good. I loved the flying engine in Battlefield 1942, and everything else just doesn't seem to cut it. Until now!

There’s A New FPS In Town

I guess we can bid a fond farewell to the Doom engine… and might as well say our goodbyes to Source and maybe even Unreal while we’re at it. 3 dudes working out of an apartment on their own money are working on a game codenamed Project Offset, which is looking pretty incredible at an […]

Podcasts – I’ve Seen The Light

If you don’t know what Podcasts are, you must have been living under a rock for the past few months. It’s all the rage! All the cool kids are doing it – which is part of the reason I’ve kept my distance. I’m not a fan of the hype machine. But I must admit, Podcasting […]

Upgrades In Progress Pt. 2

When I left off, I still had some significant PC hardware to pick up. I’ve since upgraded to a 520 W PSU and a P4 3.2 GHZ processor. Battlefield 2 is running pretty smooth now. I could still use some more ram, but that’ll come in time. I love getting new hardware because it always […]

IE 7 Beta First Impressions

Microsoft announced the first stage of their beta testing for Internet Explorer 7 today – which is a closed beta, intended for developers. How did I get it? There’s this wonderful thing called BitTorrent – you might have heard of it. Anyway, things didn’t start out so good for my testing experience. I didn’t listen […]

‘Hot Coffee’ Stirs Up Bullshit

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the infamous sex minigame in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, dubbed ‘Hot Coffee‘, so I’ll spare you the details. The whole re-rating of the game to make an adults only title is completely ridiculous! It should have been rated AO to begin with. The thing that makes it so […]

More Time Equals Less Time

I’m at the end of my second week with Participatory Culture Foundation and so far, it’s been great and I’m really enjoying the change. I made sure to come up with a schedule for myself to keep organized and on task. It really hasn’t been hard to adjust to working from home. PCF are pretty […]

Transformers Movie Announced

I remember hearing a mention of a live action Transformers movie some time last year – but nothing ever came of it… until now! At Comic-Con this weekend, Dreamworks officially announced the movie by parking a life-sized Optimus Prime in the convention centre. Not too much is known about the movie just yet, except that […]

Record Breaking Idiots

It’s not news that it’s been insanely hot the past few weeks. There was a period of a few days that we were actually able to open up all the windows and enjoy the cool breeze as it made it’s way through our apartment, but for the most part, we’ve had the AC on since […]

So, here I go!

Remember this? It’s been just over two weeks and every aspect of my ‘professional life’ has changed. On Wednesday, June 29 I accepted a job offer to act as Site Manager for Participatory Culture Foundation. PCF was founded by the dudes behind Downhill Battle. Between DHB and their current focus – an opensource internet tv […]

Upgrades In Progress

It’s been a slow month around these parts. Mainly do the madness that is the MMVAs. I’ve had a hard time keeping motivated as it seemed like the day job was sucking every last drop of life out of me. But that’s over and done with for another year, so it’s time to get back […]

Keep Plugging Away

Man, am I ever [fucking] drained! The past few weeks have been so busy and there’s been so much going on in all aspects of my life, that I feel that I just can’t keep up, but I have to keep plugging away. Not because I want to – I would definitely love to just […]
