If any members of the Steel Potatoes read this… you probably already know, but Tarakia got smoked in this war. I’m thinking we should seek asylum with Sal Kar. I’ll be on later tonight.

So I had a pretty average day today. I spent some time placing a frying pan on a gas stove until it was red hot, and then I went around pressing said pan into the faces of nearby zombies, which would sear them into a charred, unrecognizable mess. Then I would take funny pictures as […]

I just woke up about two minutes ago, but according to the hundreds of emails in my inbox, the Dead Rising demo has hit the XBL marketplace already. So uhhh…. screw this post, I’m going to play.

After a successful and mutually beneficial year and a half arrangement, ZeStuff will no longer be the official store for Ctrl+Alt+Del. Though they have provided us a good service these past eighteen months, I need to make sure that I’m offering the best and most affordable merchandise for my readers. One of the primary concerns, […]

So I’ve heard a rumor that the Dead Rising demo will hit XBL on the 12th of August, exactly four days too late for me to give a shit about it. It’s already been hard enough waiting for this to come out since seeing it at E3. Come Tuesday the 8th, it’s zombie slaughterin’ time. […]

Randy over at Blind Ferret is 28 today. We threw a little birthday bash for him. Happy Birthday, pal! You don’t look a day over 27!

I think the Steel Potatoes Chromehounds Squad is full. It’s a shame they cap it at twenty people. I guess I understand the reasoning though. Street Fighter 2 hit XBL last night. I only played it for a moment, but hot damn that brought back some memories. I still love that ridiculous punch in the […]

After a couple hours of fun (read: I rather die than do that again) networking work, we have finally solved an important routing problem with the server that hosts ZeStuff. This problem affected a lot of people in Europe (France, UK, etc…) so if you’ve been unable to check ZeStuff in the last couple of […]

I just want to go on record and say I’m glad to hear that they’ve cast Heath Ledger as the Joker in the next Batman film. Sam Rockwell, Jude Law, Paul Bettany and Robin Williams were all rumored to be up for the part, but really I feel like I’ve already seen this character from […]

So Chromehounds. Yeah. I really disliked the single-player. Not that the story is particularly bad; it isn’t. It’s just executed really poorly. However, in a moment of boredom, I decided to sit down and actually play a bit of it, with the intent of earning some mech parts to go online with. And once I […]

Apparently Joystiq has the inside word. We’re expected to hear in the next couple of days that E3 will no longer be held. At least not the over-the-top, extravagant, bright shiny lights and enormous fancy booths E3 as it’s come to be in the recent past. I can’t say I’m surprised- having attended the past […]

So I got into Chromehounds online this past weekend. I suck terribly at it, but I’m strangely addicted. I started out with Morskoj, but soon realized they were in the lead. So I switched to Tarakia, which was slightly behind. I made a squad for the hell of it. If anyone out there wants to […]

There are some pretty cool new demos floating around. For 360 owners, you can hop on XBL and grab the Ninety-Nine Nights demo. I’ve heard this game received lukewarm response in Japan, which is where the game was targeted (to help move 360’s in a culture that just isn’t buying them). The gameplay is pretty […]

My puppy went in for surgery last week to get spayed. When I dropped her off, they asked me if I wanted to get her microchipped as well. I told them she’d been microchipped already when she was a baby. If she ever gets lost, all animal services has to do is pass a scanner […]

It’s not a game, it’s a “tech demo”. Lucasarts showing off what they can do on next gen systems. I’m out of town for a couple of days, be back on Wednesday.
