I’ll admit, I hold a bit of a grudge with the gaming community over Psychonauts. A game which, by many critical accounts and personal opinions (my own included), is a masterpiece of fun, and yet was largely neglected at the time when it counted the most. It’s gained more notoriety now, sure, but mostly as […]

We’re now offering Console Skins in our online store. These are high-quality vinyl prints with a light adhesive, so they can easily be removed and swapped at a later date without mucking up your system. We’ve already received some great feedback on these, so expect to see additional designs and systems (the DSi) in the […]

I’m pretty psyched about The Saboteur. The videos look great, and I think that Tom French and his hair will deliver us a really fun game come December. I get the feeling that even if the game looked like crap, I’d want it anyway, just because Tom’s hair told me to. Don’t agree with me? […]

So last week I was talking about how little I cared for the Halo franchise anymore, the newest edition included. I received a lot of emails from readers, some agreeing with me, some suggesting that the game is still worth playing. My best friend came up to visit this past weekend, and we were looking […]

As we near our one-month anniversary, ZeGuild has now opened recruitment to new members. With over a few hundred active members, you can rest assured you’ll always have someone to chat with. If you’re interested in joining, check out the guild rules and ideology. If you think it sounds like a good fit, message one […]

     Video Games | Splinter Cell: Conviction | TGS 09: Release Date Trailer HD XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii Ubisoft has finally announced a solid release date for Sam’s next adventure, and while it’s still a little ways off, it’s nice to have an actual time frame to look forward to. […]

Despite a general dislike of Korean MMOs that I’ve cultivated over many years, I still feel like I gave Aion a very fair shot over multiple occasions. There was a part of me that really wanted to enjoy it, that really wanted it to be an MMO I could get into long-term. The extra effort […]

So this is the week that expansion-turned-full-game Halo ODST comes out. Frankly my interest in the Halo franchise flickered and died after a couple of weeks with Halo 3, so my excitement level for ODST is pretty nonexistent. However, I will admit that there are a couple of points that have my curiosity peaked. If […]

For the record, the comic is not derived from any personal feelings on the subject. I avoid playing the “Waaah, X Class is overpowered/Learn2Play, nub” wheel-of-fortune. While I’m certainly under no impression that every class is perfectly balanced with every other class across every situation, I do subscribe to the notion that if you are […]

The Ghosthunt contest sponsored by Funimation ended today. The number I was thinking of was 771. Interestingly, I received 6,228 entries, and there was only one correct guess out of the bunch. So if you’re THE guy that guessed 771, check your email!

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 drops this week. Loved X-Men Legends and the first MUA, so I’m looking forward to sitting down with some MUA2 co-op in the coming weeks. It’s a new developer at the helm, so I’m expecting a short adjustment period, but everything I’ve seen of the title so far points to lots […]

We’ve closed guild invites for the time being. We grew incredibly large, incredibly fast (over 400 active members at the moment) and we want to take some time let the guild ‘gel’, figure out who will remain active, and find a happy medium for managing a guild this size. We’ll post an announcement down the […]

I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 1000. If you guess correctly, and email said guess in the subject line to cad.contest (at) gmail.com, you’ll win a copy of Ghosthunt: The Complete Series boxed set on DVD and Ghosthunting Texas: America’s Haunted Road Trip, a book on the investigation of paranormal activities, all courtesy […]

If you haven’t been keeping up on EA’s marketing campaign for Dante’s Inferno (what do you mean you have better things to do?), they’ve been working their way through the circles of hell in some clever, less-than-clever, and downright horrible ways. In what I guess would be ‘Limbo’, at E3 earlier this year they hired […]

Yyeeeeep. I’m not surprised. Thanks to Nick and his friends for the screenshot! Also, if you were at Dragoncon last weekend, you may have seen these guys walking around! A big thank you to Chris and his friends for sending this picture in. Great costumes!

I understand the irony that talking about gold farming in the newspost causes the Google ads below to fish for gold farming ads.

Huge awesome space sim EVE online (still waiting for that Walking In Stations update, guys) recently unleashed ‘Unholy Rage’, a massive calculated attack on over 6200 accounts related to the farming and selling of in-game currency. Now while that is nothing new, we see all MMOs announcing that they’ve taken sweeping strikes against the farmers, […]

So I guess it’s no secret that I’m playing WoW currently. Pierre’s got a great little guild on Sentinels, just tearing up the server like a band of misfits. And we’re not the only ones… gold farmers are present as they ever were (and honestly always will be, I imagine), despite Blizzard’s best efforts to […]

I just wanted to once again thank you for doing such a wonderful thing for Christian and his family by voting for them in the vacation contest. The local news did a spot on the contest and family, and you all were a part of making this happen for them.

A couple more notes. Someone mentioned (quoting a comment by Gabe Newell) to me that idling wasn’t cheating the system because, as the drops were completely random, they weren’t gaining an unfair advantage over other people. If they weren’t gaining an advantage, why did they need to use the program? Of course they were gaining […]

With over than 200 members by now (most of them being CAD fans), ZeGuild is rocking the Sentinels server pretty hard :). If you want to know why our WoW guild is different, head over to our Guild Ideology and Rules page. It’s not too late to join the party! Wanna how know? We even […]
