And the folks over at Invisible Children have posted a response to some of the concerns that have been raised over their charity. A very good read that addresses a lot of the issues. As I said, before you donate (to any charity), make sure you always collect as much data as possible so that […]
While I think that the Kony 2012 initiative has its heart in the right place, it’s always a good idea to get as complete a view of things when possible, especially when dealing with charities. Not all charities are created equal, after all. In the interest of posting as much information on the subject as […]
This video is a little long, but the message is worth it. When I tweeted it last night, I think it had a few hundred-thousand views. This evening it has seven million. That’s crazy, but it means it’s working. Take a look if you haven’t watched it yet.
When I do a comic or a story arc on Warmachine, I tend to get a handful of emails from people curious about trying it out/switching over, but not sure where to start or what faction they should play. I’m certainly not an expert, but I have been playing WM for about five years, and […]
I’ve got to say, the Rancor frenzy bit actually looks sort of fun (skip to 2:45). The rest of it though…
Over a year ago I posted about a little indie game in development called Overgrowth. It’s the sequel to a little game called Lugaru. Anyway, it’s not done yet, but it’s looking more amazing than ever, and I just want to remind you about it. There’s still no actual “game” per se, in that there […]
Playing League of Legends on the release day of a new champion is an interesting affair. If you’ve bought said new champion, obviously you’re looking to play it, and queuing up becomes a crazy luck-intensive game of whack-a-mole as you race to load in and pick the champion before anyone else. If you didn’t buy […]
Kingdoms of Amalur is fun. It’s not perfect, but it’s fun. Here’s the highlight reel. I love the visual style. Some of the environments are downright stunning. A lot of the armor is really cool, and they have some awesome monsters. The visual style is a little inconsistent though. Some creatures and people just don’t […]
The developers recently announced that a “speed run” of KoA’s main quest and every side quest took roughly 200 hours to complete. And that’s with already knowing exactly where to go, and what to do for every quest. And then they questioned if perhaps they might have gone a little overboard. The main quest alone […]
It’s been over a year since I let him loose, so it was about time I think. I’m gearing up for Kingdoms of Amalur next week, my first hugely anticipated game of 2012. I know a lot of people may be playing the demo just to get their Mass Effect 3 items, but I really […]
The 1000 referral reward for League of Legends is an in-game content element named after you. I hit 1000 referrals early last year, but they warned me that it could take a while. They don’t introduce items into the game too often, and they have to do what they can to keep items within the […]
I hope you’ve all had a great Winter-een-mas so far! This year has been one for the books for me. I had a bunch of friends come stay with me for the weekend. We’re all really spread out around the US and Canada and generally play games together online, so it was really special to […]
Join us on League of Legends for Leaguefest tonight! Just click create/join chatroom, and enter CADLeaguefest!
When I started putting together this year’s Winter-een-mas story arc, I began to envision this huge tournament that would take place to determine who deserved to wear the Winter-een-mas crown. Not just sitting around playing video games, but an ultimate competition in the vein of Battle Royale/The Running Man/The Hunger Games that would push the […]
Happy Winter-een-mas, everyone! I’m still working hard to get today’s Winter-een-mas update ready to post, so unfortunately I’m going to be a little bit late to the WEMas Leaguefest this afternoon. You guys can go ahead and get started without me though, and I’ll join you as soon as I possibly can! All you have […]
I’m in the midst of planning a few GameDays to celebrate Winter-een-mas 2012 this year. I’m having a bunch of friends come stay with me the latter half of the holiday for gaming and general mischief, so I’m trying to cram as much into the opening days of the celebration as possible. I can tell […]
It looks like Wednesday’s protest against SOPA/PIPA has been heard in a lot of the right places. SOPA has been tabled for the time being with the representative from Texas who introduced the bill stating that he agreed it needed to go back to the drawing board. It’s a step in the right direction, but […]
The Razer Headset contest was a really tough one to judge! You guys sent in some amazing photos of weird stuff on your heads, and I wish I could give a headset to everyone. But they only sent me three, so I narrowed down the entries the best I could. I ended up with sixteen […]
I absolutely support the right of companies and individuals to attempt to combat and prevent the theft and piracy of their copyrighted materials. You could argue that SOPA and PIPA won’t even stop all piracy, and you’d be right. But that doesn’t mean that companies aren’t entitled to continue trying to find the solution(s) that […]
The Razer SWTOR headsets showed up at my door a couple of days ago, and of the three SWTOR peripherals I was the least excited about this one. I have a pair of Astro A40s that I absolutely love, so the SWTOR headset had some high standards to live up to. After using this headset […]
Thank you all for voting for the Razer SWTOR mouse finalists over the weekend! The top three entries have been notified and I’ll be sending out their new mice and mousepads this week! So congratulations to Andy kephalidis (#3), Liga Smilskalne (#4), and Bryan Broom (#9)! In other news, Winter-een-mas Season is in full swing now, and a […]
There were a couple of entries that I liked, but couldn’t choose them as finalists because they didn’t fall within the rules of the contest. David Shields’ drawing of a screenshot featuring Darkseid got a laugh out of me. And I really wanted to choose this painting by Roxanne Splitt, but unfortunately she used screenshots […]
There were a ton of great entries, but I’ve managed to select ten finalists that I feel capture the goal of the contest, which was to convey “Light Side” or “Dark Side” though photo-manipulation of a SWTOR screenshot. Now it’s time for you guys to choose the winners! The top three finalists will each receive […]
Just a reminder that tonight at midnight is the deadline to submit your entry for the Razer SWTOR mouse contest. After tonight I’ll be picking my ten favorite submissions, and then I’ll put them up for everyone to vote on them. I’ve hit level 50 in SWTOR, so it’s finally time to see how the […]
