Thanks Hassknecht, I'll finish the Gibson books. Actually I'm trying to do my 'essential reading' with these. :D After finishing the listed books I'll go and try to get the Thrawn-trilogy (the only SW books that seem to worth reading) and then come the heavyweight, Les Misérables. And yeah, I...

Finished Neuromancer yesterday (finally), and yeah, it was a very good book, though the translation I read wasn't perfect in my opinion, maybe I'll re-read it in English sometime. So I am at a junction here, should I (a) continue reading the Sprawl-trilogy with 'Count Zero' (b) get 'Snow...

You might want to try Wing Commander: Privateer, the original Elite series and/or the X series.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ6APKIjFQY&feature=player_embedded Really nice video of death sequences from the golden age of gaming. The featured 8-bit version of 'Mad World' makes it very nostalgic. On a side does anyone know the games at 1:45 and 2:05?

Even though regrettably Oblivion was the greatest influence on FO3, Bethesda got Daggerfall and Morrowind in their pedigree, which is something. I didn't read anything about what the current Eidos Montreal team worked on previously, the work they do can be anything between utter shit and epic...

Why don't people come up with new franchises, why do most of them put the name of an old classic on their newest AAA title with which they have not much in common? This helps advertisement?

Ripped-off Jin-Roh/10 Though it looks cool indeed.

Is there going to be a 'Butthurt Edition' with a dragon harlot blow up doll?

I consider naming something "x of y" very blank. Try to be more creative with that, people. Everything in the video looks great, but the music feels empty and generic. And what's up with the semi-automatic carbine crossbows? :S Anyway, I am hyped too.

A Ghost Island called Hashima Lots of interesting pictures here about the ghost town of Hashima. According to the wiki there was a coal mine operating there and after it shut down in the 70s the island/city became deserted. It looks very post-apoc in the same vein as Pripyat (minus the...

BDSM Chuck Norris/10

Not only JFK was foolish enough to go in an open car with all the danger involved. Remember Franz Ferdinand in 1914, that mofo ordered to remove the roof of the car after a failed bombing attempt just to show who was badass.

Yes, it sure is. He's ten times more awesome than this ending.

Pretty old, I played the downloadable version a few years back but never got into it really, got stuck somewhere. Always loved the atmosphere though, glad to see that it has some worldwide coverage now. It was pretty much inspired by the stuff people like around here. (wasteland, fallout, old...
