“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Updated
I updated Wordpress today as a result of what happened to my friends. I figured it was better safe than sorry, especially if it was the XML injection Chip mentioned. I was already up to date with 2.3.3 but now we're running the hot out of the oven 2.5. For those of...
Haxor
I had my good buddy Matt call me up last night. He's the one I had set up a Wordpress install for a couple months ago. It seems that someone hacked his hosting account/WP install and inserted hundreds of hidden porn links all over his site. For some reason, surfing...
Armée De Deux
Now that I've finished it, it's safe to talk about it. That's my rule. That's why you haven't seen a review of half the games from this winter (see previous post for aforementioned rule breaking). Army of Two isn't a bad game. At least not in the same way that...
Street Date Bullshit
What good is a street date if I can't walk into a store and buy a game ON that date? What good is it if the stores themselves don't physically get the game until days later? Why the fuck would every major retailer state that the "release date" for R6V2 is 3/18/08 when...
Nearly There
I've been trying to finish Army of Two for damn near a week now and just haven't been able to do it simply for lack of time. Yesterday, my day off, I tried at least a dozen times to play, each on being interrupted by power outages (storms yesterday). I'm trying to...
Footage
I know it's not necessarily news worthy, but it's not something I do every day so I felt the need to mention it. I actually bought new shoes on Sunday. This is astonishing because A) I don't spend money on myself for anything other than video games and B) I hadn't...
Flogging Molly
Tuesday night I had the pleasure of seeing one of my favorite bands on the planet. Flogging Molly stopped in Houston as part of their Green 17 Tour. I first saw Flogging Molly shortly after their first album release back in college. They were in Savannah and played...
Extra Super Bonus Achivement
Let's talk achievement points for a second because there's something I need to get off my chest. This is aimed directly at game developers and whoever is the liason for said developers and the XBL team. What the hell is up with achievement point being 100% fucking...
2007 Game of the Year
So what if it's the middle of February, that's how long it's taken me to wrap my head around the gaming that was 2007. It was a big year for gaming, well, console gaming at least. PC games had their share of excellence, just unfortunately not as numerous as the...
Laborious Task
I need a laptop. The 30 steps it takes to walk from my couch to my computer is simply too much. I could easily be writing this from the comfort of my living room, enjoying the Firefly marathon going on in my DVD player but nooooo, I have to have a "desktop" computer...
