Serious Coinage

Now here’s a tutorial that all gamers should try at least once in their lives. That is, if they’re old like me and remember the glory days of the original Nintendo and Super Mario.
I was actually looking for a picture of a question mark or something similar for use in another post, when fate […]

Blizzard Gives the Cold Shoulder to GLBT-Friendly Guild

In a strange, and rather eyebrow-raising bit of community moderation, Blizzard, the company behind World of Warcraft, has cited a guild member under their “Harassment - Sexual Orientation” policy.
Sara Andrews did what all good guildies often do: try to recruit members from general chat areas in a game. What she didn’t expect was […]

Xbox 360 Poll

Finally got around to changing the poll, and even though in the last one it looked as though the PS2 might actually catch up to the SNES, at the end of the day, SNES still beat PS2 15 votes to 12.
So, on to the next!

Xbox 360 Shortages Hurt Microsoft’s Pocket

It looks like the shortage of Xbox 360s is taking a financial toll on Microsoft’s Home & Entertainment division. According to Next Generation, they’ve lost $293 million. At the same time last year, they (and by ‘they’ I am still talking about the H&E division) were at a $55 million profit.

Nintendo DS Lite

I meant to post about this much, much, much earlier before it got all over the place, but alas, the Technology Gods were against me. So I couldn’t. But if you haven’t heard yet: The Nintendo DS has been in intense, intense weight loss training (dunno how, with all that McDonald’s…) and has lost an […]
