Bioshock 2 – Rapture of Protection

Just a quick note to say I’m voting with my wallet on this one and refusing to buy Bioshock 2.  Three different DRM systems are installed to get this thing to work properly.  I’m appalled. Until I get the stupidity to set up a game machine that’s JUST a game machine that I can reghost …

Left 4 Dead Custom Map – Exodus Streets

Tomato, tomahto

This a dev map of an idea for a Left 4 Dead ‘movie’ I’m doodling with.  A movie as defined in L4D terms is simply a number of levels loosely tied together with a fitting climax at the end of a horde or three of infected (they’re not undead so zombies isn’t a great term …

1967 Mustang Coupe

Well I’ve got nothing to offer you other than random musings and ramblings. Â  The forums have dried up on me, there’s very little activity on Enworld and very few posts worth reading on Gleemax (official forums) much less actually recording for posterity here.

Left 4 Dead

Flanders was a zombie?

Well the demo has been short but very sweet.  Single player it’s marginally better than similar games, the frenetic, frantic times when a zombie horde is rushing you in some ways feels a lot like certain levels of Serious Sam, especially the one where you get locked in a large football stadium sized walled courtyard …

Gaming Table Mods

Not me or mine.

Well with the new system, the new changes and the new newness of it all I’ve decided to come up with some changes to my gaming table. I stopped by Lowe’s this morning and picked up a sheet of Lexan plastic 3′ x 6′ and then brought it home to find it’s roughly 1/2″ too …

Age of Conan

Well I picked up Age of Conan over the weekend and started playing that. The good, the combat is different although ‘twitchy’ and requires the dexerity of a three armed monkey, the graphics are good, it has naked boobs in it along with decaptitations an in general so far has had a very smooth launch.  …
