    Pandaren Join World Of Warcraft In Next Expansion

    :> I love how people are drawing the line at Pandaren monks. Gnome (who had less lore than pandaren in vanilla WoW) no problem. Cows that walk upright, hey that's normal. Holy cows, well ofcourse. Keal'thas's return, yeah that happens more often. WoW in Space!, yeah sure. Murlocs, Gurlocs and...

    Of all the ´´big´´ publishers which one do you like/love/tolerate the most?

    Rereleasing Mario, Zelda and Metroid is not what i call a wide variety of games. I thinking of a game released by Valve that isn't a must play, and having a hard time. The only thing they done that makes me kind of "not amused" was releasing L4D2 as a game instead of an addon for L4D. And...

    Jimquisition: Fight in the Name of Childishness

    Fox "news" and the bible thumping christians won't be convinced anyway, so why not use them to vent you fustration. Not to insult, but how can you agrue with someone that uses the argument: "The sky wizard told me so". They will flat out refuse clear facts and arguments just to keep their point...

    The Big Picture: Americana

    This always gets to me, is reading so hard for americans? As a dutch person i'm more or less forced to read subtitles on any movie i watch. And if i'm lucky the subtitles are dutch, but i have no issues with english subtitles. German oned are a bit trickier, but germans dub everything and spoken...

    Why do we still call the Midwest the Midwest.

    one pound is around 450 grams, or 0.450 kg. Now how many inches in a foot? 12 How many foot in a mile? 5280. Now how many inches are there in a mile, don't use a calculator or google. Let's do the same for the right system (better know as the SI standard) 1000 mm in a meter, 1000 meter in a...

    Extra Punctuation: An Invisible Protagonist

    It might make the game a bit too slow, but i would love to mess with the character you're stealing intel from. First start subtile, like stealing his key only to place in a very obvious place he looked a 100 times already. And ramp it up, leaving empty liquor bottle around him to make him look...

    Jimquisition: Videogames Are Not Movies, Get Over It

    Yet would make a bicycle like you would make a chair? The problem is that different media require different methods. A book can spent a chapter about how scary a hallway is. In a film you might show the hallway with sound effects. In a game you drop the player in the hallway and let find him/her...

    Laser Enthusiast Builds Super-Dangerous Homemade Pistol

    Control != create. It's reasonably easy to create plasma. Light a match and put in a microwave: Plasma! (do not do this at home). The "only" thing yo have to do to create plasma is knock some electrons of the gas moleculs. The easiest way is with a high power energy beams, like say a laser beam.

    Trailers: Magicka Release Trailer

    ASF spacebar = sprint And from what i've played so far you don't have to walk long before something happens. Haven't had the chance to play co-op yet but my guess it's will be hilarous chaos. Because of all the magick beams etc flying around. The controls do take sometime to get used to...

    Shamus Plays WoW #1: It's An Imp's Life

    The guards unions, you gotta love it. We can't even kill lazy gaurds anymore, something about workers safety. And what i don't get it took troll 6 years to retake their isle. Send Surfang sr their before break and nothing would be standing there. Same for the gnome, a lvl 28 is stopping the...

    Games you regret buying

    Overlord II for the pc, it's the first game that made me rage quit a game (and i pug a lot in WoW). I really tried my best to like it (it being made by dutch people and all) but a man can only take so much crappy controls before snapping.

    Poll: What do you do with no internet?

    Find my cantenne and see what i can pick up. Having set up the routers for most of my neighbors, it's easy to get a connection. Of course i won't do anything with uses a lot of bandwidth, and my neighbors don't mind.
