    DayZ Beta Not Coming Until End of 2014

    Not surprising. This looks like a huge undertaking. I am just glad they are allowing people to experience and even have a voice to shape the game as it is being created. That is a stellar privilege in my mind.

    Fake Fallout 4 Teaser Site Was Created to Make You Freak Out

    I had a great time speculating and hoping about the next iteration in the fallout series. I for one thank this self proclaimed asshole for setting my imagination turning. I also think he had a wonderfully designed teaser site and would not be surprised if Bethesda used something similar for its...

    So I just installed Steam once again.

    Hundreds of dollars spent on steam. The Library says I own 157 titles and I can say that Steam, for the most part, has been a total gaming blessing. I look at it as a gaming butler that, even though it has its own priorities and life (taking metrics and encouraging me to buy stuff)will for the...

    The Big Picture: Memorium

    Won't lie. I got a little watery eyed at the end. Nice send off Bob.

    Hubble Spots Another Moon Orbiting Neptune

    Neptunian News Network. "Earth still has one moon." "Chumps." OT; Its good to know that even our own solar system is so vast that even now we can be surprised. It gives me hope that in an even more expansive galaxy, greater surprises await us.

    Escapists, what are your deep dark gaming secrets?

    Same. And I am looking forward to Saints 4 I think FFX was the best. I enjoy The Sims from time to time. I stare longingly at the EA BF3 soon to be BF4 purchase page wondering if letting my standards for a content delivery service slip would be worth it. I have an unhealthy attachment to...

    Deus Ex: The Fall Disables Weapons on Jailbroken Devices

    Yeah. I am still unhappy with the fact that The Fall is mobile exclusive. Then I hear about this bushleague BS. Perhaps its time to write off my desire to try this one.

    Microsoft defends $500 pricetag for XBox One

    ... But they just "removed" all the extra functionality they thought people would pay for. Sorry MS I just don't see any value in buying a system where I know, at any moment you could flip the d-bad switch and ruin things. At least in the last gen few if anyone saw the douchbagery...

    Can you leave a book/game or series unfinished?

    I have the other problem where more often then not I just don't finish games. Books are not a problem but I can get to the last level/mission or a major story arc point and I just stop playing. Not sure why.

    Fanfiction - Your thoughts

    Porkins Lives Not sure if I am a fan of Fanfiction (I have read little) but I do find some of the ideas and humor that is derived from it appealing. http://25.media.tumblr.com/d8310c71a62b88049a63a79859966f2a/tumblr_mleyyeqtvs1r1c2gxo1_500.jpg

    Your favorite book/book series?

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Black Company series by Glen Cook. Its what I believe to be the perfect meshing of military and fantasy. At this time, I am finally reading I Jedi and dig it for the most part. I am also a huge fan and am eagerly waiting for the series release of Gladstones School...

    Mojang's Scrolls Charges Into Beta Next Month

    I still have mad respect for GW2. Have not played it in a while but its nice to know that its around all free and stuff just waiting for me to come back and get a little value out of it. But yeah. I have actually been anticipating scrolls for some time. Upon seeing what it looks like now...

    Mojang's Scrolls Charges Into Beta Next Month

    Have to pick this one up just based on the massive amount of enjoyment I got out of minecraft. I really feel like I got more then the price-tags worth of enjoyment out of that so in my mind, soar or flop scrolls is a reputation buy.

    Square Enix hd upgrading Final Fantasy X and X-2 for PS3 and Vita

    I may not need this. But I do want it. I also appreciate that they are doing something simple and quick to turn a buck in an HD hungry market. Will be really hard to screw this up. While earlier being brought up to day would be awesome. I am sure one little mistake on FF7 would send hoards...
