Sasha Grey wears a cute hat!

I have seen this girl drink her own pee. I am also seeing her wear a cute hat.

If Steam comes to Linux?

If Steam comes to Linux could it signal beginning of the, end for Windows as the gaming computer system?

We are in a time where people own more than one computer. People have net books, and use them for sitting on the couch, and bringing along with them instead of a book. They are bought preloaded with everything you could need from the store for about 300 dollars.

If you are a PC gamer you are buying a system, you are buying hardware, and it is generally expensive. Also it might not be your main computer, it might be in a game computer. Like Marty McFly said, "yeah we actually have two TVs." and they called Marty a liar, but it is true.

Logic dictates, if the OS is free, and the gamer can play the video games they want without the need of a product key from Microsoft by using Ubuntu why would you use Windows? It is a stretch but could happen.

Many years ago there were just as many home computer hardware companies as there were game console manufactures. Texas Instruments, Apple, Commodore, and IBM, were all in competition in making a place in the home PC market. Game publishers would release versions of games for each of these systems, some classic games like, Lode Runner, Oregon Trail, and Ultima. Some games were also released through Atarisoft, "your computer plays the arcade hits." I warn you once you hear this song you can never, "unhear" this song. These were the wild west days of the gaming industry. Maybe Steam can spearhead a revolution, and it will be in the form of a content delivery system.

Didn't care for killing bunnies: 5 sentence review of Red Dead Redemption

This is my five sentence review on playing the first hour or Red Dead Redemption.

Well it sure is a brighter game.

It also answers the question, "Will there be some kind of forced vehicle that will have flight, like Assassins Creed 2 had?"

Where the motorcycles failed, for group riding, horseback riding with a group is a great improvement to the engine.

It is really fun to make your guy look cool while moving, something almost impossible in GTA4.

Didn't care for killing bunnies.

Cake is a lie for Mac users now.

You are a Mac user, and you could care less about games, and more about productivity and style.

You are not known as a gaming system, and that is fine. I am sure there are some people that love playing the few games that are available for Mac, "Virtual Coffee Batista," and "Call of the Conscientious Objector: Modern Recycler."

All terrible jokes aside, big news. Not only is Steam, the god father of game deployment systems now available for Mac, the very Mac styled Portal is available for free right now.

FREE.

All Valve related games are going to be relates for the Mac through Steam. I highly suggest you check it out.

Learning lessons from idiots

I feel as though when video games do not have some sort of auto save, it is done to be spiteful. I do not need to learn lessons from a video game. Lessons can be learned from the subject matter, I don't want to learn any lessons from some game designer claiming his reasons for not including it are it shows some other failure of modern society, "because when we wanted a game saved we had to stop and make a conscious decision."

You know what? Fuck you, and your lesson plan. I don't need to be bullied around by some ass wipe with the best intentions for the final product in mind.

MY intentions! Mine! I am the final user! Not you, your commitment to pure is just unnecessary. You can not bring in so much new and so much that the consumer is just over loaded with everything being wonderful and perfect.

These excuses would never have been tolerated with innovation before.

We are not playing fuckin Rygar here. Enough of your snobbery to the genre. As a collective group we are the ones that brought you here, and be careful because these are the things that will take you off your pedestal. All of this has happened before and will happen again. Because you think no one is able to see the difference, I will tell you you underestimate people. You have no idea what we as consumers are capable of. You are the one I pity in the next life.

Are Achivments killing the "art" in video games?

Games should be about having fun and making a personal experience, and connection. I pose this question. Is the social networking experience and achievements taking away from the artistry of the game?

If you read a book, you don't get a medal for it, you put in on the shelf and talk about it with friends. When you go to a museum and look at a painting you don't get a sticker for it, or a stamp like some kind of passport. No one stands there and tells you what to look at and what to look for. However when I went to the Prado in Spain I got a tour guide and it was very interesting. Critics tell you what you might want to look out for, and look past, at the end of the day the most important critic is you. You decide if the art work is worthy of an award or if it is an achievement.

Keeping track of stats and a win loss ratio is a very understandable records to keep. What is truly the purpose of the achievements, bragging rights? Say what you want about Call of Duty Modern Ware 2, but there are no multiplayer achievements to unlock. All of the achievements can be unlocked in the single player game, or the Spec-Ops game mode. All of the achievements are based how well you can play the game against the game not seeing how many people you can kill in a row with dual shotguns.

All that being said, I wonder if achievements are meant to keep people from lying.

"Did you beat Final Fantasy 7?"
"Yeah I beat that."

Did you really or did you just read the Wikipedia and watch the cut scenes on Youtube?

Oh Lordy what to do when the romance is gone!

If you didn't think the iPad was Apples 500 dollar plus handhold gaming console you are wrong.

Satoru Iwata, the Nintendo president, is understood to have told his senior executives recently to regard the battle with Sony as a victory already won and to treat Apple, and its iPhone and iPad devices, as the “enemy of the future”

I really do love a good console war.
