    IBM Breakthrough Exponentially Expands Data Storage

    Yes, this is cool, and all, but... If this is the future, where's my god-damned flying car?

    "Have you paid your memory bill?"

    Thanks for the comments, guys :) Constructive criticism definitely helps; I did kind of find myself thinking of Morpheus' voice when I was writing about the sketchy theories, and I'm not sure there's any way to get around that, sadly :P Come to that, now Equilibrium's been...

    "Have you paid your memory bill?"

    . . . . . Perhaps a bit of context would be nice at this point :P I've been up since a ludicrous hour this morning, and this idea for a short story came to me in the shower. It only took a few hours to get it all down, and I'm sure it'll show. For the record, this was *not*...

    Saved game deleted, Rage Insues,

    Happened to me with The Saboteur. Tried to load an older game, loaded one waaaaay older than I intended, and accidentally overwrote the new one. Oddly enough, the only thought that went through my head was "Oops... Ah well, at least I get to do those first missions again anyway"

    The Big Picture: Feeding Edge

    I doubt I'll be the first person to say this, but no. NO! We do NOT send thousands of volts through people to bring them back to life. That's not what defibrillators are for or how they work. You've been watching too many movies. Obviously.

    Test Your Mental Might With The Escapist's First-Ever Puzzle Adventure!

    Okay, I have almost all of this figured out (Actually, I already know the name of the last game thanks to Havass' bigass spoiler... Dude that's not a hint it's the f***ing answer) but I'm a bit stumped over the last step.

    Looking for a good FPS with RPG elements.

    It's almost depressing, really... I spotted this thread and joined hoping someone would recommend an awesome game I'd never heard of. Now it seems like I've already played every half-way decent FPS/RPG Hybrid :/ Anyway, if you want a few more unusual recommendations, try Thief: Deadly...

    Red Dead Redemption

    With any luck (read: with some seriously unbelievable luck and altruism on Rockstar's part), when the game gets its inevitable crappy port to the PC, they'll add mod support and let people add that sort of thing by themselves. I gotta admit, it would be fantastic, especially seeing as that's the...

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Does Not Have Co-op Campaign

    I did initially think "Well crap, there goes that idea", but on balance, I suspect this might be a good thing. The whole way through CoD5, I kept getting killed constantly due to things that would have easily been avoidable if I was playing co-op. The whole way through, I suspected the campaign...

    Random Gaming Tips by...........You!

    In Star Wars: Jedi Knight III - Jedi Academy, *always* get three ranks in force healing before any other skill. Then take force grip and force lightning. Force grip lets you toss enemy sith over the edges of cliffs, saving you from having to duel them, and lightning lets you carve through...

    Do you "own" your username?

    I own my username completely. Googling it only ever returns stuff about me specifically. However, the reason I chose it was that my last username, "The Duke", was in use constantly. I was in a Halo game at one point with, I kid you not, seven other people called variations on a theme of "Duke"...

    Stolen Pixels #142:Mario Interview Part 1

    Considering Gordon Freeman kicked Mario's ass in that massive Gamespot poll, wouldn't there be considerable tension in the room already?
