    Battlefield 3 Beta - Your Thoughts?

    I find it fun, though I can see why a few people reckon it's similar to Medal of Honor. I reckon the Metro map doesn't do this game (sorry, beta) justice, and was hoping that DICE would make Caspian Border available to all when the open beta started. I've had no real problems with it so far, but...

    CD Projekt Does Witcher 2 DLC Right, Makes It All Free

    CD Projekt has been around longer than Bioware (and was one of the largest european development studios back in the 90's). Quite an interesting history. [http://www.cdprojekt.com/company.asp?id=g_history]

    Woman Suing Chuck E. Cheese's for Promoting Childhood Gambling

    Ah yes, pure greed... Sorry, but that's all I can think of when I read stuff like this. If she thought this was so important, she wouldn't be asking for $5 million. Take your case to court, hope you win, ask for enough cash to cover court expenses and bring about change that will also...

    Rumor: EA Planning Shooter Showdown for Battlefield 3

    I think the same. I've always preferred the BF franchise, but CoD is king of the hill when it comes to singleplayer. Some of the more recent CoD storylines can at times be a bit OTT, but I guess that's what attracts the mainstream audience. I have no doubt that MW3 will sell more due to CoD's...

    Escape to the Movies: Troll Hunter

    I have yet to see this movie. I work as a sound engineer/designer for the movie and TV ad industry in Norway, and I've got to admit the funding for movie projects is getting better. There are quite a few independent studios around the country, but they lack funding and rely on grants from the...

    Vader Wants You to Know: Obi-Wan is Dead

    Indeed, that should be the next big scoop. "Wait, these only show 'behind the scenes' footage. Bummer..."

    The Ultimate Greatspade of +1 damage! ...oh, and a megapack of Mentos. :)

    Amusing nick names,

    People have been calling me Cosmo since 91', which I find intriguing as I share the same surname as one of the characters in Seinfeld (Kramer). He wasn't called Cosmo Kramer until the fifth or sixth season (I believe, which was in '94 or '95), so that's quite a coincidence (or maybe not? Doo doo...

    Friday the 13th, have any bad luck today?

    Been stuck doing a thesis for uni this whole week, and it all came to me this afternoon, so I'm happy. Got an oral exam on Wednesday though, so I just hope 18 is a lucky number...

    Eurovision 2011 - Any Escapists watching?`

    Hehe, that's what I keep telling people (especially my mom when I come over to visit). As a sound engineer with varying music tastes (the only stuff I really hate being boy/girl groups created solely for the purpose to rake in cash), I try to have an open mind. By all means, some of the stuff is...

    Why Is Graffiti Illegal?

    ...because 91.9% of graffiti is tagging (tags) and 99.9% of those are sprayed on private or state owned property. Got someone to "brighten up" one of the walls in the kindergarten I worked in before going back to uni. 'Twas really a work of art, and the kids loved it. :)

    Ubisoft Cancels a Bunch of Games, Gets PC-Centric

    They're going to release... Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Online! Nah, j/k, but I'm sure I remember them mentioning that they would be starting development on a new MMO (and I think they said based on an existing franchise). I dunno...

    Vader Wants You to Know: Obi-Wan is Dead

    I smell Imperial conspiracy! Oh yeah... ...and good luck in finding Obi-Wans body in space. Ashes thrown out of the Deathstar's airlock, my a**... EDIT: Ahaha! Didn't read the original article before posting. They do indeed claim to have thrown his remains out of an airlock. :D

    Game Lets You Kill Bin Laden Again and Again (and Again...)

    I agree. (They could've at least made this free...) As to whether this Kuma mission is a good thing or just adds fuel to the fire, I don't care either way.

    Games you regret to have bought ?

    Medal of Honour on the PC. I don't know why I bought it, since the previews weren't exactly raving. The multiplayer felt ok, but lacking in the awards/levelling up department. Felt as though DICE did that deliberately so as not to drag people away from their own games (mostly BFBC2). Other...
