Schill, Spawn & Drizzt Daddy Onto MMOs

There’s going to be a new MMO. It’s going to be fantasy themed. Excited? I thought not, and normally I wouldn’t bother you with the announcement of YAEG (yet another elf game), but the creative crew behind this one is downright bizarre in a potentially cool way.
Take Curt Schilling, yes, the Major […]

Clean Up The Gaming Clutter

Interesting, if obvious de-cluttering solutions for gamers over at Unclutterer. I think we all suffer from gaming related messes at one time or another, from bulky SNES cartridges strewn all over the floor to the tangled web of wires that friends and family have to navigate to get to the couch.
On some points, it’s […]

Origami Star Wars, Crochet Wicket

This is a very quick nod to geeks who express their love not through game, but through paper art. It takes some serious talent to fold an entire Jedi knight out of a single square of paper…ever tried to make one of those blasted cranes?

Halo 360 Design Flops

Was anyone excited about the new Halo version of the Xbox 360? Considering that the new announcement, which Microsoft seemed to think was the cat’s meow, was greeted with chirping crickets and throat-clearing when it was unveiled to, let’s face it, some of the more rabid gaming fans in existence at E3, it looks […]
