Halo: Reach? No Thanks.

28 September 2010
A 9.5 rating from IGN.com for any video game is pretty spectacular, that's what makes my decision so difficult to stick to. Even my wife keeps hinting at the fact that I should go out and pick up Halo: Reach for myself.

27 August 2010
In an apparent attempt to ruin every aspect of my life, Blizzard released Starcraft 2 on July 27th, 2010. Considering the game has targeted and affected me, and me alone, there can only be one logical conclusion: Blizzard developed Starcraft 2 for the destruction of my personal life and emotional well being. Anyone that thinks differently is highly confused and obviously has a severe logic deficiency.
The Stigma of Gamers

01 July 2010
I hate and am sick of the stigma gamers carry in that we're socially awkward and void of sexual skill. I continually see comics online showing gamers as embarassed to speak with girls, fumbling over words, and living a life of unwanted virginity. Through a bit of research, I have compiled a list of people who consider themselves to be gamers and, well, you tell me if you think they're socially inept and void of vagina or declined of dick.

One of my favorite writers, Mike Maddox of Maddox.com, had a submission contest a few years back for his upcoming comic book series looking for writers. I don't remember all of the contest rules but I do remember that it had to have pirate Maddox in it and bonus points for including lumberjack or Paul Bunyan and his Ox, Blue. I thought it was funny when I rediscovered it a few days ago buried in my emails, so why not share?(click the image to view the entire strip)
TOOL? Yes, you are.

At CreateDebate.com, someone asked the question "What makes TOOL the best band ever?"
The best reply I saw throughout the entire debate was "Nothing." I couldn't agree more. Joecavalry seems to have a great argument against that by saying, "Their music playing abilities." Is that really the case?

Your Live gamer score is six digits.
Bored with mere button press, you've moved on to
Nintendo's Wii.
You've beaten all the games you own, mastered the most expert of levels. You experience the glory as the game cuts to the credits.
But it may be taking a turn for the worse… Add a comment
John Cri

Great Attitude, Great Sound
We meet in a small, suburban apartment complex. The instant I walk into John's pad he offers me a drink, of course I agree to one. Bass is rumbling through the ceiling but John doesn't seem to be bothered too bad by it. He informs me that we're waiting for his drummer, Charles, to show up. Until then, he's going to play around on his acoustic for me to get a better feel of how he plays. He lays down a few recognizable songs and then cuts quickly to an improvised classical spanish solo that lasts ten minutes. This guy has some obvious raw talent.
Charles finally shows up with a bag full of McDonald's double cheeseburgers and quickly offers me one, of course I agree to one.
These guys, who currently call themselves John Cri, don't have the normal, cocky, personas of what you would imagine a band to have. They truly are a couple of normal guys with talent far beyond normal. With pleasure, I offer you this look into their world:

The Man, the Myth, the Sex God
Browsing through little known artists, I recently found one of the sickest guitarist/composers I've had the pleasure of listening to in a while. This guy, single handedly, revitalized my faith in metal. Through sexual persuasion, Morbid Optimist landed an interview with this underground metal enigma: Locrian Mist. Add a comment
