UT3 Expansion in the Works

It seems that Epic recently dropping licenses left and right hasn’t affected the sales of Unreal Tournament 3 (over a million sold-through, apparently) nor its future. In the words of Epic‘s Mark Rein (the guy who’s blaming piracy for everything): Our arrangement with Midway isn’t a license but rather a straight publishing agreement and Midway [...]

Left 4 Dead Pre-Order Open

I just got mine today. Left 4 Dead is coming in roughly four weeks, I’m sure you heard about it. It’s the upcoming post-apocalyptic zombie shooter by Valve, the makers of the awesome Team Fortress 2 and the Half Life series, with raving previews (an extensive preview is here) – everyobdy who played it loves [...]

Review: World of Goo

I’m glad to report that despite playing Warhammer Online now, it’s not all I do – I must’ve learned something form my WoW excesses. Or not, who knows. Anyway – I’ll stick with my review structure here, fasten your seatbelts. It’s another awesome game (just like TF2, albeit in a completely different way), reviewing those [...]

Help! Terrorists in World of Warcraft!

Avast, me hearties! I played me fair share o’ World o’ Warcraft, enough t’ know ‘t’s incredibly addictive, an’ enough t’ know ‘t’s nay good fer me when I do. Which, I guess, won’t avast me from tryin’ ou’ Wrath o’ th’ Lich King an’ th’ new Davy Jones’ locker Knight class anyway when ‘t [...]

Stack Overflow: Solutions for Coders

If you’re a programmer, you know the problem of solution googlability. It’s particularly prominent in mainstream languages (and one of the things I decried in my What’s Wrong with VBA series, as VBA is particularly bad in that respect); you have a problem, you google for it, unless you’re coding in a good awesome well-designed [...]

Alcohol Ramadan

This actually doesn’t even have anything to do with my wife and her family being Muslims – it was on Rouge’s blog that I found fitting inspiration. How about, we alter Ramadan a bit and make it, instead of an “eat only while the sun isn’t up”, a “drink no alcohol” month? Well, good plan [...]
