I suppose it shouldn’t be a total shock, but come ON!
GOG says they were just kidding.
Good Old Games has decided that their shutdown was just a joke, and will be up and running and out of beta soon. “We are working hard to provide users with much fun, so do expect some great surprises until Christmas.” What’s their next joke going to be, installing a trojan that fries my motherboard? No thanks!
In(sert) Soviet Russia(n coin) …
A fascinating and lengthy blog post (made in January but it’s making the rounds now) about a visit to a museum of Soviet-era arcade games. There are many pictures. And I am very glad I was not a child of the Soviet 80s.

Living First Person
It’s 1977. I’m 12 years old. It’s a gorgeous Northern BC summer day, one of those glorious fleeting perfect days that are all the sweeter in the frozen north, because the memories of mud and slush barely fade before the leaves have already begun to turn again. Utterly pure blue sky, sun warm on the skin, grass a deep impatient green, a light breeze off the lake that is so invigoratingly packed with oxygen and piney perfume it might as well be cocaine. I’m playing third base, it’s what we’d call little league if we called it that in Canada back then, I’m just beginning to feel the awkwardness of adolescence, but the sheer pleasure of being alive and standing on that dirt under that gigantic bowl of sky on that day is more than enough to let me ignore my self-consciousness. I’m a big, strong kid, and even if I’m more bookworm than jock, I enjoy sports.

We return after holidays, work, and the inevitable technical breakdowns, but we persevere to bring you another podcast!

E3 By Proxy: Portal 2 Demonstration
When the average gamer allow himself (or herself, thank you shifting demographics) the heated imaginings of attending E3, she thinks of a magical all-access pass that really only belongs to the seriously industrious or the top shelf of the gaming press. Many of the games that I came to E3 to see lie locked away [...]

Should Duke Nukem Forever Objectify Men Too?
The Devil Tesla’s post about Duke Nukem Forever started me thinking about how people have been reacting to the various announcements about the game. I started wondering what exactly the reaction would be if the game let you choose between having men, women, or both as the objectified characters. I realize that this is very [...]
