E3 Faces Eradication

Hot potato on the gaming news scene this morning, and understandibly so! Who wouldn’t be shocked and mildly concerned to hear that the industry’s largest, flashiest show is staring down the barrel of a rather large gun?
Next Generation popped up a post yesterday with the WTF-worthy title of ““Exclusive: E3 Cancelled” (now revised to […]

MS Points Currency Converter

To keep with the bling theme of Ingrid’s last post, I’d like to take a quick step over to the console scene and lend a hand to the mathematically uninclined.
Love them or hate them, microtransactions run rampant in the happy land of the Xbox. Spend real money to get virtual money to […]

WoW Guide: Making Money In-Game

On Saturday, as my “Thinks-She’s-A-Tank” Mage was dying mercilessly at the hands of evil spiders in Duskwood, I got a nice surprise: Amber Loe, The Adventuress herself, had started playing WoW again and had rolled a cute little Gnomish Mage on my beloved Elune server.

And Cast Frost Shock!

Every once in a while a particularly clever piece of machinima crosses my desk and either leaves me in awe that people have that much time on their hands, or leaves me in a fit of laughter. This one is a bit of both.

Behold: Guild Wars Nightfall PvP Preview is coming to a computer (with Internet access) near you on July 28th, 29th, and 30th.

SingStar Is Coming to America

Allow me to just say: FINALLY!!!
Not that it affects me, since I’m in France and have had access to its wonderfulness for going on a year now, but it did pain my little sympathetic heart to think of all my American friends missing out on the grandiosity of SingStar.

Xbox Live Hits 60% Mark

Looks like Microsoft’s predictions came true after all. Back in September, the company revealed their predictions that Xbox Live users on the Xbox 360 would reach 50%. At the time, only 10% of original Xbox users were taking advantage of the online service, so it comes as a surprise that Xbox (360) Live subscribers have […]

Nintendo DS Lite: Free Crack Repair

Due to various reports of hinge damage and cracks on Nintendo DS Lites, Nintendo has spoken up on the issue and assured the public that the number of damaged systems is a tiny, insignificant number.
