I’ve recently had the pleasure of playing through Bioshock a second time, and, well, I’m more blown away than I was the first time. The first time through I largely missed the story, simple following instructions and playing through. On the second I sat and listened more closely, and enjoyed it quite a bit more.
Allegedly [...]

I’m Still Trying to Come Up With a Title for My Book
I just thought of another good one, “Philosophy is an Action.”
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I’ve already written down some predictions of what people will think of it, and I want to check my work.
Joel, you first.
The 1st Book Is Going to Be 50,000 Words Long
I like the number 50.
A comment on Facebook is 1000 characters long, so I’ve been training my ability to be efficient.
So, 50 comments is about a book, right? [UPDATE: C'mon, I need somebody to check my math. My book isn't going to be 50,000 characters long (it went past that in the first week) [...]
Fallout 3 and Fable 2 End-scene Mash-up (*Spoilers*)
I put together this video the other day to compare and contrast the ending sequences of Fallout 3 and Fable 2.
Both these games are pretty amazing in their own respects, I did a longer compare and contrast post here.
They also employ the same end-game-sequence creator theory, in that the final cut scenese (as shown below) [...]
The XBox 360 3.0 Legal Experience
This is a short video of the very fun time I had playing the new game that comes with every XBox 360 upgrade, “Legal Agreement”.
Its a pretty basic down-scroller, build old-school text-only style. I liked a lot of games like Zork and Hithchikers Guide to the Galaxy back in the day, but I figured with [...]
Fallout 3: Inside the Heads of Raiders (bonus: Fable 2 and Fallout 3 Comparison)

FALLOUT FROM… FALLOUT
comic updated November 14, 2008
And today we venture back — back, through time, to continue the classic (old, actually) tale called forth from the hoary mists: The Otters in “True Crime Stories!”
So — not to brag, but guess who got featured on the front page of the Bethesda Blog yesterday? HMM? [...]
Fake World Sales Skyrocket As Real World Goes to Shit
October/November 2008 was an absolute WATERSHED in gaming.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – U.S. sales of videogame hardware and software rose 18 percent in October from a year earlier, after falling 7 percent in September, as Nintendo Co Ltd’s Wii console sold over 800,000 units, market researcher NPD reported on Thursday.
Video machine makers said the results boded [...]
Fallout 3 : Final Battle (SPOILERS)
Note: If you are playing Fallout 3 and don’t want to see the amazingly awesome epic finale as done by a fully realized, alien-pistol-toting, V.A.T.S.-abusing, tesla-armor wearing Wanderer…don’t watch this video.
If instead, you want to see it, or don’t plan on playing the game and wonder what all the fuss is about….watch the first video I put [...]
Fallout 3 : Bear vs. Teddy Bear
This is a video of one of the tasks I wanted to complete in the game. You don’t get any achievement points for it, but saying that one is lethal with teddy bears is not such a common thing.
Fallout 3 Review Part 3 : Predatoring
I’m having far too much fun with this game…
Fallout 3 Review Part 2 (Flaming Swords and Mini-Nukes)
I started doing a bit of my Fallout 3 review back here. In that post there’s a short video with some of the combat.
I’ve added another one, focusing a bit more on one of the custom weapons you can craft in the game, the shishkebob.
As you can see, it is crafted from a scavenged lawnmower [...]
