I discovered while playing Oblivion (what else?) with my level 8 dude that not all Zombies are created equal. A pack of dread zombies == bad. But also fun.

Raq, I find Superstruct a fascinating concept but I fear how much time it would suck up.

not your mom's socks.

Don't know much about this game, except that it involves pie and time travel. And so deserved to be posted here. [link]

I fibbed. I had to share this, x-posted with Movies...

For those of you sitting on the fence about Blu-Ray, Amazon is offering a $100 off Blu-Ray players when you buy a player plus 4 Warner Bros Blu-Rays. That's a damn good deal, especially since Amazon is one of the cheapest places to buy Blu-Ray discs.

The sweeter thing? The selection of Blu-Ray players includes the Playstation 3.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

OMG fallout 3 comes in a lunchbox!

Report from a non-player of video games: Little Big Planet is, indeed, cute. It is not compelling me to pick up a controller and play, but it's awfully charming. And the music is relentlessly earwormy. As in, I suspect that all of the music was written as a side project of The Gorillaz -insanely catchy.
