PC Gaming and Piracy
Friday, March 28th, 2008A good article on PC game piracy: Anyone who keeps track of how many PCs the "Gamer PC" vendors sell each year could tell you that it's insane to develop a game explicitly for hard core gamers. Insane. I think people would be shocked to find out how few ...

Linux Gaming.
Monday, March 10th, 2008Slashdot got this article from MadPenguin.org on why more Linux users aren't gamers. Here, of course, is my wisdom. There are two kinds of Linux users.

John Welch has a Wii
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007Nice knowing ya John. And do buy the Rayman game. It's just really stupid. I got mine a month ago and it's changed my life. I no longer need human companionship. It'll be even better when they sort out the obvious thing and make the Mii have any relation to ...
