02.18.10Random Character Death: The Problem with Mass Effect 2
If you listen to our podcast (GolgoCast, listen, srsly) then you know that I have wanted to talk about Mass Effect 2 for a few weeks. Much to my chagrin though, Cory hasn’t played it yet, and probably won’t in the near future. Since I can’t talk about the game on GolgoCast, I decided to write a little ditty about a disappointing part of the game. Note that THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS. And it’s also not for Corys.
If you know anything about Mass Effect 2 then you probably know that the whole game builds up to a major “suicide mission”. Most of the game is spent recruiting and gaining the loyalty squad members in hopes that you will survive the mission of the suicide. If you don’t recruit all the squad members, or gain their loyalty, there is an increased chance that members of your squad may die during the mission… including Shepard. Continue Reading…

10.10.09Rich’s Rants: Dragon Age: Origins to have DLC on Day One… Fuck Me!
First of all, let me point out that I am very excited for Dragon Age and can’t wait to play it. Secondly, let me tell you that this is the most ridiculous news that I have heard in a while. BioWare has decided to have not one, not two, but three different DLC packs available on day one.
The first DLC is titled Warden’s Keep and will sell for 560 Microsoft Points ($7) which will add a new quest, several new abilities and items as well as a market area. The second DLC is titled The Stone Prisoner and will be free to players that purchase the game new but will cost 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) to anybody else. The Stone Prisoner is a character that will be unlocked at the beginning of the game as a party member. The last piece of DLC is also free and only available with new copies of the game which provides you with some really kick-ass Blood Dragon Armor in both Dragon Age as well as Mass Effect 2.

07.31.09SDCC 09 Cosplay Picture Special
So Josh has been yelling at me for 3 days to write an article that includes a bunch of pictures of cosplayers from this year’s San Diego ComicCon, both good and bad. I went through a bunch of pictures on a few different sites and found some of my favorite and will now share them with you.

07.28.09Halo Legends Posters Look Amazing
There really isn’t a whole lot to say here other than that these posters look superb and I want them on my wall right now. We have seen very little on Halo Legends but so far I am fucking loving the anime vibe in the Halo world, this art makes me feel all good inside. Seriously, just check out the gallery already.

07.28.09Fallout 3: User Interface Mods
As you may have already read, I wrote up a beginner’s guide to modding Fallout 3 last week and am just now getting around to writing the second in the series. This week I tested out a whole bunch of user interface modifications and came up with 4 mods that I now find essential to playing the game. Before I get into the details of the different mods I am just going to rehash a couple of main points on modding. Continue Reading…

07.22.09Gamestop Doesn’t Hurt New Game Sales: Now Shut Up
Last week, on a whim, I decided to read a couple articles about David Jones, the creator of Crackdown (the videogame, for realz). Apparently he found used games in his vagina and is now contributing their sale to the lack of new games sold. In particular, his game. This also reminded me of when I read about how Dead Space sold 1.5 million copies while 3 million people have played it. This may sound alarming, but I assure you it is not. What is alarming though, is how much publishers and developers are bitching about the used game market.
To them I have one thing to say; suck my fucking cock. Continue Reading…

07.15.09Fallout 3: A Beginner’s Guide to Modding
So I recently installed Fallout 3 and started playing it again on my PC. I never actually beat the game before because I started doing a whole bunch of side quests and wandering around. Anyways, I decided that I wanted to check out some of the mods for the game to see if any of them were any good. When I first started looking for mods I came across several websites, only two of which that are actually decent: Fallout 3 Nexus and No Mutants Allowed. NMA had fewer mods and were easy to sort while Nexus has what seems to be every Fallout 3 mod in existence. Continue Reading…

07.14.09UFC President Solidifies His Stance Against EA
Last week on the podcast Josh brought up some news about Dana White and his position towards EA during our podcast. Basically, White had stated that anybody who appears in EA’s MMA game will be banned from fighting in the UFC. This seemed a little extreme and the best reason that I could think of was that it might conflict with some sort of contract that the UFC had with THQ. As it turns out, Dana White just hates EA. Continue Reading…

07.09.09Media Update – Dragon Age Origins
You should know by now that I am going to post pretty much any and all Dragon Age Origins screenshots and videos. We got three new videos and 15 new screenshots today so take a gander. Not a whole lot to say about them, the screenshots look pretty and shows some crazy giant creature. The three videos drag on a bit but they are just showing some action fighting some crazy shape-shifting beast. Continue Reading…

07.09.09Gaikai – Initial Impressions on Streaming Video Games
By now, you have probably heard all about OnLive, but I doubt you’ve heard of Gaikai. Gaikai was actually the first interactive-game-streaming nonsense to be announced, Onlive came later. Now I have certain choice words for both products, both good and bad, but before I elaborate watch this awesome video: Continue Reading…
