I guess that means that since he was the innovative brains of the company, the under-development id Tech 6 engine has now officially been shot in the head. Shame. Say what you will about the games themselves, but Carmack made the best engines. Their physics were by far the best. Looks like it's Unreal Engine and…

If you want good pizza in California, go to San Francisco and hit Uncle Vito's in Lower Nob Hill. In principle, though, I agree with the denigration of "California pizza" in general. They have fucked it up with all kinds of weird toppings and cheeses that were never meant to be on a pie. In the Chicago vs. New York…

Hell awaits.

This is so strong, it should be bronzed.

Considering the God-awful embarrassing way that NFL players and coaching staff bitch and whine after every single play that takes place on the field, I have absolutely no problem believing that this happened. Get a lot, give a little.

My Alienware M17x is the perfect size. Nice-size keyboard, a 10-key pad built in and an excellent high-resolution screen for gaming and movies. I don't mind the less-portable factor; I've got a very nice carrying bag to transport it in, so everything works out fine.

Sad. I'm a dedicated FPS player, and was really looking forward to an open-world format for a really interesting AAA title in that genre. Destiny totally fit the bill. There's only so many times you can play the single-player campaign mode before going, "Meh, I know what's hiding behind that boulder. I've killed…

I'm sure this statement is going to be retratcted via Twitter later today and Meriweather will say "the media misquoted me" or some other tripe, but for now, good for him.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who loved that game. However, I'm also slavishly waiting for Doom 4 as well. The id Tech 5 engine had some of the most amazing transitional lighting effects I've ever seen on a computer screen. My wife said, "It looks like a watercolor painting that moves in real-time."

No alcohol? Booo. Give the kitteh a White Russian and consider the job done.

Can I get a cheer for boxed, aka geometric wine?

Next time, on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo...

This is the greatest argument against self-publishing I have ever seen.

Experiences like this is exactly why I watch virtually all movies I really want to see on Netflix. I broke that rule with World War Z, and ended up seating two seats down from a family who had two kids aged roughly seven and eleven with them. I didn't know whether to be delighted or revolted by their idiot parents…

For some reason, though, it had DE Sterling Palmer listed as the most dominant defensive player in the game and QB Tony Banks developed into an absolute stallion over time. The option where you could redraw the entire league using completely new players was great for career mode games between human players. Each…

I remember having this happen when playing Front Page Sports Football '97. If you turned the option off that had CEI's (career-ending injuries) and just left them on the active list, they would be listed as O-20, for out 20 weeks (for say a fractured vertebrae), and never get any better throughout the season instead…

F.E.A.R. 3

As a long-suffering Oakland Raiders fan locked in an abusive relationship with my team, if it wasn't for the NFL Red Zone, I probably wouldn't be watching very much football at all. You can only "fall down some stairs" on Sunday so many times until you start to think yard work is an attractive alternative.
