There goes my Vegas virginity
I’d been to Las Vegas before on business but rarely done anything cool or vaguely scandalous. Some years back I played a little blackjack at the Showboat (so off the strip, you might not know the strip existed) and was … Continue reading

Wii to the RSScue
I have been seeking a Wii since launch; didn’t line up, didn’t preorder. Figured if I was patient they would eventually come into stock and maybe one younger kid would have happier holiday since I hadn’t bought the one they … Continue reading

OMG WoW L2P QQ

Condemned at last
My pal Greg gave me a spare copy of Condemned: Criminal Origins when the Xbox 360 came out. I just finished it. I may have soiled myself. I’ll have to check. Short version: Think about Seven or the big ending … Continue reading

Psycho 360…and puglilism!
Microsoft released a new backward compatibility update today, adding support for a boatload of excellent Xbox games that will now run on Xbox 360. Three of my favorite fighting games–DOA Ultimate, Soul Calibur II, and MK Armageddon–and the oft-cited Psychonauts … Continue reading
