Here's an interesting and telling picture I've stumbled on:

Let me tell you, those two do not combine well. Well, unless you're writing fic about The Sims 3, which is another thing entirely. I have two fics that I'm working on at the moment. One isn't technically due (it's for the amnesty round over at queer_fest, so it's more of a, "Huh, these prompts intrigue me and I'd like to write for them," than "OMG gotta get ( Read more... )

GamePro magazine is doing a cover feature of the Star Trek game, slated for a Summer 2012 release. The issue comes out in the U.S. on July 1st, and I'm definitely picking it up. Here's what the cover is going to look like:

Space husbands kicking ass and taking names (and lugging each other around when they're wounded). Yay! The trailer features pre-alpha footage, but it still looks great. It's the PS3 version, but the game is for XBox 360 and PC, as well.

Peace, y'all!

Last night I had a strange dream. Well, all my dreams are strange, but this one was cool/strange. I was part of some elite soldier team, and we all wore awesome black combat armor.

I am not renewing my subscription to that magazine (Playstation: The Official Magazine), and once this one runs out, I will never pick up another issue. Why?

Normally, I can "deal with it" (not that I enjoy doing that, nor do I think I should have to) and just read the ( Read more... )

So. Minecraft. A sandbox style, exploration/adventure game where you can craft just about anything. It's more of a creative tool than a game really, and I am very interested in it. I still need to get a PC that's capable of doing more than laughing in my face when I try to play games on it, and when I do I'll be getting that game and downloading ( Read more... )

Okay, I need to rant for a bit. I'm watching ssskinner's Let's Play (LP) of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on YouTube, and I'm pissed. Now, this is a Silent Hill game; I didn't expect bunnies and rainbows. But I also didn't expect them to take the storyline of the first Silent Hill and fuck it up as much as they did in Shattered Memories (herein ( Read more... )

I have mixed feelings about the newest Tomb Raider game, which is aiming to reinvent Lara Croft. Now, I'm happy that Crystal Dynamics is willing to take the risk and make Lara more than just a pair of tits. They want to give her a strong backstory and all that jazz, plus the gameplay is looking to be really great. One thing that bugs me about all ( Read more... )
