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.

Heh, Pierre does the newspost for me one day and I’m already out of the routine. Go figure. News recently broke that the World of Warcraft expansion, Burning Crusade, will give Paladins and Shaman (the only two classes unique to each side) to the opposing faction (though only to the new races). Now I haven’t […]

Hey folks! My name is Pierre. You might remember me as “The ZeStuff guy” or “The guy that coded this beautiful website”. I’m stealing Tim’s spotlight today because I have an important announcement to make. The ZeStuff team is looking for a web graphic designer. That person will be the lead designer for ZeStuff.com and […]

You know, not a day goes by that I’m not thankful that I get to do this for a living. I consider myself very fortunate to be in the situation I’m in. But there are some days that that feeling is nearly overwhelming, when it really hits me. So for your part in making all […]

Let’s see… interesting tidbits… hmmm… Dead Rising has been banned in Germany. Man, I really feel sorry for you folks. Dead Rising is my the next biggest game on my “Oh my god I’ve gotta have it, I’m drooling all over myself” list of anticipated games. Only a few weeks left to wait, too! City […]

A Scanner Darkly was awesome. If it’s playing near you, I highly recommend it. And have you seen the graphical style that Teamfortress 2 will be using? I love it. Everyone is so focused on making games realistic nowadays, it’s nice to see we can still use our ever-increasing processing power to create something with […]

I loved Dead Man’s Chest. A couple of things bothered me though. Ending on a cliffhanger of sorts- Ugh. Why go The Matrix route? They get a smash first film, and when they decide to go “trilogy”, they say “Hey! I know! We can make the last two films one long film!”. At least the […]

Going to see A Scanner Darkly tonight, and I’m psyched. There’s a 24 minute preview (ie, the first 24 minutes of the film) available at IGN, which was outstanding. I’m not going to link it directly, because it contains nudity, and while I don’t run a site for children, the last thing I feel like […]

A Scanner Darkly is a limited release (it’s not going to be in every theater), but thankfully a small indie theater up the street will be showing it this Friday, so I’m pretty psyched. Richard Linklater’s previous film, A Waking Life, is done in the same art over film style, and it’s really fun to […]

Even if the movie ends up sucking, it looks fucking gorgeous.

So my newspost on Friday caused a little bit of turmoil, you might say. I want to thank everyone who emailed me. It was interesting to read all the different points of view on the topic. It’s kind of funny, because originally I had only planned to use the controversy over the ad to set […]

Emails regarding this subject, on both sides of the fence and from dozens of different points of view and backgrounds, are coming in faster than I can keep up with them. Agree with me or not, I just want to thank everyone for writing in to express your particular opinion, and though I may not […]

Here’s a different take on my view. No one is offended that the billboard suggests a precursor to violence. No one is offended that it’s two women involved in violence. If it had been two white women, one in a white suit, one in a black suit, nobody would say a thing. Furthermore, nobody has […]
