GameStop Tournament Center
I was a little annoyed to read about this new ultra-GameStop, and not know where it was besides “San Jose”, or actually see it. Then I heard about it on the Cheap Ass Gamer podcast again today and was motivated to find it and take pictures. Overall, this is the least dingy corporate game store …
The “Mysterious Wall In An Otherwise Normal City” Problem
Last night while playing Bioshock I was reminded of something that is rather annoying in linear games that should be easier to get around with modern consoles: corridors that go nowhere and mysterious barriers preventing your passage because games aren’t designed for it Single player games tend to just have the barrier, while multiplayer games …

Re: Rom’s Rants: Sweeney Off On Live
Michael Russell reckons that GFW live isn’t so bad.. Normally I’m loathe to disagree, however in this I must. GFW Live is a pox upon PC gaming’s free and diverse online multiplayer gaming realms. Sure some parts of GFW might seem nice now, but when you end up paying $50 a year to get called …
