Fabjectory

Simply can’t get enough of your Second Life avatar? So attracted to your online self that you wish you had a physical approximation of your very own to hug and squeeze and call George? Not put off by the extraordinarily creepy nature of dolls made out of some sort of curious plaster powder? […]

Yup, I’m Joining In: Bring Back the Belfs

I’ve spent the past few days trying to get over my initial disappointment at learning that my pretty boy Blood Elves were put on a steroid-only diet to pump them up a bit. Now, instead of the skinny pretty boys I’d so fallen in love with, I’ll be stuck rolling Fabio-wannabes with pointy ears.

PS3 Sixaxis: No Battery Replacement, but Controller Replacement

So a few days ago, it came out that the Sixaxis’ batteries would not be exchangeable, which is natural cause for OMGWTF rantings. You shell out $50 for your hard-to-pronounce-more-than-once-in-a-row controller, and then it dies on you and you have to go buy another? Hellz no.
