ZOMG 04/01/08: Blizzard reveals stuff

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Look, I don’t care about World of Warcraft. It’s a waste of time and money and clearly far below my standards for gaming. However, I do care about Guitar Hero, the defining gaming experience of our generation. But now that Blizzard has announced a new Hero Class for its colossal failure of a videogame, maybe […]

Tetroid 2012: how all Tetris will be played in the future

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Despite the best efforts of highly paid futurists, most depictions of the future are often completely off base. For example, did you know that Back to the Future Part II takes place in 2015? That means we have only 7 more years to do the following: invent hoverboards and hovercars, manufacture self tying shoe laces […]

Linerider draws a line straight into heart, Wii, and DS.

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Linerider, the “it” flash game of 2 years ago, is making its way onto the Wii and DS. While this bit of information isn’t new perse, the accompanying video certainly is. Described as the “debut” trailer, this version of Linerider certainly looks like a major visual upgrade from previous incarnations. It is still unclear whether […]

Dude, WolfQuest is out.

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

The new year is upon us. Well, unless you’re living in China. But honestly, what are the odds of that? Hm…

People deserve unfettered access to information.

There, thanks to the efforts of hardworking American corporations like Cisco, the Great Chinese Firewall should block this site in no-time. Now none of us will have to worry […]

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Alexey Pajitnov must sleep terribly at night. While his products are much loved by their users, ultimately, he has ruined countless lives.
