I've imagined something like this since high school when I sketched out a "Game Isolation Pod" for the purposes of playing Nintendo 64 away from my annoying younger sisters. My version included a sound-dampening powered ventilation system, because cramming yourself into a box filled with electronics just seems like a…

All the best gifs seem to be coming from Nintendo these days.

I started watching the first video. I was listening and though to myself, "This isn't so bad." Then at 0:57.

I shit myself trying to play Doom 3 or Dementia, and I can play this game just fine. You can do it, I believe in you.

Maybe I'm wrong, but is this the first generation where we are seeing re-releases from the previous generation, only with marginally better graphics? I feel like the XBox/PS2/Gamecube to the 360/PS3 generation is the last generational change that truly felt like a quantum leap of improvement.

It's these kinds of things that make me rethink the security situation in my own apartment. Sometimes I think "How would this place hold up in the event of zombie apocalypse?" But in reality I'm thinking more along the lines of "How would this place hold up against assholes?"

I'm balls-deep in some Early Access goodness after purchasing "The Forest" and "Planet Explorers". Both games are completely full of potential, with "Planet Explorers" being a little further along in terms of completeness and playablity.

Let's just say that I'm sure you can find a way to play it anyway, and nobody will ask any questions.

As a fan of JRPGs, and also an notorious JRPG procrastinator, I will attempt this Summer of JRPGs. I'm programming the dates into Google calendar as we speak. This will be interesting, since I've finished none of these, and with some of them I've played very, very little. (I think I put less than an hour into Lufia…

So Sonic lives on the Discworld?

Your first sentence is sort of poetic, like song lyrics.

You've got to start somewhere. Even the most die-hard anime fan once had no idea what anime was. I suggest just setting aside an evening and watching some. If it's not something you enjoy after that, it's no big deal.

Is the "Mary-O" thing an Eastern United States phenomenon? I have never heard anyone call him that in California.

The Bring! guys just emailed me to inform me that the app is not available outside of Switzerland/Germany/Austria/Italy after I emailed them wondering why it was not available on the Galaxy S4.

I make a very nice cold-brewed coffee by steeping fresh ground coffee in cold water in the fridge overnight, then filtering out the grounds using a french press the next morning. It's wonderfully strong, yet doesn't have the acidity you typically find in coffee so it's easier on the stomach. I usually drink it with…

I'm a member of a group that plays a game called Dagorhir. (It's sort of like LARP, but it eliminates all the stupid stuff and focuses on the fighting, then elevates it to full contact status.) A couple of weeks ago a fighter knocked my beanbag up into my abdomen with what basically amounts to a foam version of…

Fuck yeah. That fucking book would improve the fuck out of my fucking bookshelf. And when fuckers who come over ask me what the fuck it is, I would tell them that's it's my fucking "fuck" book, and if they would like to fucking take a look or some shit like that.

So scarfed Sonic get's the thumbs down, but scarfed Link get's the thumbs up?

Previous comments from Bethesda and Zenimax seemed to hint that they did not care for 3d or VR, and had no intention of pursuing these technologies for implementation into any of their games such as The Elder Scrolls or Fallout. I remember hearing about Bethesda's Todd Howard trying out an Oculus demo, and leaving…

Not to mention astronauts. Astronauts are totally nerds. Nerds are awesome at dealing with g-forces and whatnot.
