    John Carmack Speaks On Oculus/Facebook Deal

    I'm looking forward to see what they can do with the boatloads of money they got. Yes, they raised $2.5 million on kickstarter-but that's only about a third of what Ouya raised, and I don't think people want something that's about one-third as polished as Ouya. (Never mind the fact that OR is...

    ShinyLoot's Cyber Weekend Sale Brings 100 Games to $1

    I saw a couple that were worth a buck to me-Bridge Construction Set and On a Roll-but I like those types of games. If I get an hour out of them, that's not bad for a buck at all.

    $500,000 Donation Frees Jailed League of Legends Player

    The "eat their still-beating hearts" part may well be what saves him. To me, that's what pushes his statement to the realm of the absurd. (Though Jeffery Dahmer would be an exception to that rule there).

    The Complete Bastard's Guide To Journalism

    It may not be the company's fault. Some countries/provinces have some crazy rules on sweepstakes. Quebec, for example, requires anyone holding a sweepstakes in Quebec to pay a fee equal to 10% of the total prize value, among other things...

    The Last Door Swings Open

    Great game, and surprisingly creepy given the pixel art.

    Designer Leaves Board Game in Desert for Future Players

    Sadly, odds are whoever finds it sells it for scrap value.

    Dino Patti's Indie Speed Run Pick Might Surprise You

    It's well done and nicely polished, though I don't see a whole lot of replay value.

    Cello Fortress Weaponizes String Instruments

    War. War never changes. (glances over shoulder) Oh. I guess it does. Watch out for the tubas bombing Dresden.

    Town Holds Violent Videogame Buyback Program

    I for one consider my copy of Madden 2002 to be extremely violent. How much are they paying now?

    EA DICE Manager: We're Not Just a "Battlefield Factory"

    Unfortunately, there were audio problems with Patrick Soderlund's mic, so parts of his interview were lost. His full statement was: "We don't want to become a Battlefield Factory. After all, this land isn't zoned industrial. We're really aiming for more of a Battlefield co-op, or a sort of...

    Rapper Loses Suit Claiming He Was CJ in GTA: San Andreas

    Out of curiosity, how close to his life would GTA have to be for his suit to have merit? Hmm...GTA: Backup Rapper. Right up there with Farming Simulator 2013 on my to-play list.

    Pick Your Pac-Man

    I think C has the best Pac-Man. B or D for the ghosts.

    Craterhoof on a Budget

    I lean towards Fog. Genesis Wave can help you win the game faster. Fog can keep you from losing. Great deck though!

    Jimquisition: The Definition of Art Games

    "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." Potter Stewart...

    Kindness of America Author Shot Himself for PR

    The driver (who, by the way, should certainly get punished for drunk driving) has a good civil suit here. They should award Danielson all the royalties from this joker's book.
