“Portal”: Best Multiplayer Game In Years…?
Yes, you read that title correctly. Is Portal one of the best multiplayer games to come out in years? I know, I know. Portal is a single-player game. There is no “versus” mode and there is no co-operative campaign. How exactly is the game “multiplayer”, then? Let me explain how I played through the game,…

Prince of Persia: PC, DRM, DLC, ROFL
You may have heard on the podcast several times that Andrew and I… well, we like easy games. We’re busy people, and hard games take up too much time in our crazy adult lives! To be fair, I don’t think either of us actually want complete cake-walks for games; rather, we want a gaming experience…

Problem Solved: Main Rig Working
This was a happy weekend. You can review the situation for yourself in the blog post from last week, but long story short, I accidentally flipped the surge protector off with my main computer hooked up to it, and it wouldn’t boot after that.

More Reflections On… Well… People (And Being Online)

Nor have I been able to help coordinate the forum transfer over to the new server. Nor have I been chilling in the IRC channel like I…

Number-One Rankings On Google
I saw in my search engine referrals the phrase “dragonball fansite” the other day (for Daizenshuu EX), so I figured I’d take a look and see where we placed with that. Whoa! Number one…?! Awesome! Out of curiosity, I tried a bunch of additional search terms/phrases to see which also brought us up as the…

Problem Not-Yet-Solved: Wireless Podcast Downloads
I had originally typed this up on my iPhone and was planning on posting it via the WordPress application, but I ran into a little snag: the dreaded “invalid post id” error. Now I’m re-typing it on a standard ol’ computer while looking down at the draft on my phone to make sure it’s all…
