E74. You sank my Xbox.
After just over a year of dedicated service, last Friday Xbox #2 decided it only wants to display an error screen that features the code E 74. Seems like there may be another heat related failure issue plaguing the Xbox 360. Joystiq has compiled some “less than scientific” evidence as a means of tracking the […]

Rush plays Tom Sawyer on Rock Band
In an attempt to turn this blog into a Rush lovers paradise and to generally annoy Chester with all things Tom Sawyer…
I feel bad for Geddy trying to hit his high notes of old…yikes.

Sporelebrity
I’ve been looking forward to the game Spore for…10 years? I dunno. Seems like the news on it has been around longer than the news on Chinese Democracy. It finally comes out in September and EA is holding a celebrity spore creature contest. It’s not too exciting, but any contest between David Lynch, Curt Schilling, […]
sex v. violence v. social commentary
The upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto IV got me thinking about when certain groups of people protest something controversial, they usually protest the wrong aspect of the controversial item. Case in point is GTAIV. I forgot that what makes the game so rich is its depth of social commentary. Granted, it’s not like Noam […]

He had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm, said his wife, Gail Gygax.

Well you know my name is Simon…
Crayon Physics Deluxe won the Independent Games Festival’s top prize recently. Object is simple, get the circle to touch the star. It looks really, really cool.
I wonder if someone at Crayola has approached this guy with a “branding” deal?

MLG’s Top Ten: Halo 3
The Major League of Gaming (MLG) is North America’s first professional videogame league. USA Network covered some of the Pro Circuit awhile back and now it looks like ESPN is dipping their toes in “competitive video-game” coverage. How long before we see a rundown like this on SC? Granted, with enough playing time any player […]

Purple Hatorade Digest
LISTENING
I just went to iTunes and here’s the last five albums I’ve listened to. Bauhaus: Go Away White. Sounds like Bauhaus. TV on the Radio: Return to Cookie Mountain. Album starts off really strong and by the end gets really week. Van Halen: Van Halen I. Feel Your Love is the worst song on that […]

Shut up and Jam: Gaiden
Skip the first minute and a half. Bad editing. Looks like a great game. I don’t have a mac at home which means I’ll have to sneak it onto a computer at work.

Game dorks out there who are tired of dry, verbose reviews should check out Zero Punctuation. Yahtzee Croshaw puts together an animated “game-review” every week and they are a thing of disgruntled hilarity. While much of the humor draws upon pointing out universal negatives from the collective gaming experience, his delivery and tone is worth […]
More like Mass Hard-on!
I just finished this game and immediately started playing it again. The genius of it is that you can make good conscious decisions in one game, and then decide you want to be a complete jerk in another. I think I’ll start a new character and have him be really really nice all the time […]

Darkon - Where fantasy meets reality
This looks awesome!
“DARKON is a feature documentary that follows the real-life adventures of an unusual group of weekend “warrior knights,” fantasy role-playing gamers whose live action “battleground” is modern-day Baltimore, Maryland, re-imagined as a make-believe medieval world named Darkon. These live action gamers combine the physical drama of historical re-enactments with character-driven storylines inspired […]
