  • 9 Songs From 9 Games You Haven’t Played In At Least 5 Years

    I thought I’d change up my every-once-in-a-blue-moon-updated series ever so slightly and offer some sweet remixes of video game music that “proper” videogame geeks ought to recall with fondness. Here goes…!

  • Team Fortress 2, Wahoo!

    We’ve spoken before as to the wonders of the forthcoming Team Fortress 2 (part of Valve’s “Orange Box” add-on to Half-Life 2). I submit the Engineer’s intro movie as further proof of the wonderfulness that is on its way: Awesome.

  • Don’t Call It A Condiment

    …Cause I’m only playing catch-up. See, because it’s a homonym with… Bah, never mind. On with the Friday Link Dump! Hollywood is definitely out to retroactively destroy my childhood. How else can one explain their insistence on changing G.I. Joe from hard-charging defenders of America into a namby-pamby “international” strike force under the auspices of…

  • Achtung! Fans Von Den Old Skool Gamengruppen

    Metaphorically run, do not walk, over to the official Command & Conquer site, where EA is now offering free downloads of the original Command & Conquer.

A Flash-based game involving bouncing projectiles, each with weight, speed, etc. used to protect your end of the “field” from wave after wave of…

  • Your Daily Dose Of W00t!

    Can it be true? Can Peter Jackson really be set to direct The Hobbit after all? Victor Borge + piano = teh funny: Flight of the Conchords: A Texas Odyssey. Must all Christian-themed videogames suck forevermore? I’d really like a game with positive messages and engaging, non-craptastic gameplay, but apparently that’s too much to ask.

  • For All You GuitarBanjo Hero Fans Out There

    Apparently there’s a way, using a modded PlayStation 2 and a bunch of freeware programs, to add custom tracks to Guitar Hero 2. And lo!, we have evidence that the Internet knows no lower bounds, for here we have a GH2 version of “Dueling Banjos”: (There’s another video here, for all you doubters.)

  • Meagre Offerings
