Tom Chick posted this video on his blog. It's by some guy named Patrick Jean, and very well-made. Well worth watching, in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugV6cLgwomo&feature=player_embedded

In all fairness, though, there probably isn't a right gig for him, so he has to take what he can get.

This is a collection of interviews with some of the voice actors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuH9kNc-MNs&feature=related Notice how they all deny any previous knowledge of Warhammer 40k, with the exception of a few who claim that they only know of it because of their sons. :D

Wtf are people thinking? This seems like almost as bad a move as Beastmaster 2. I suspect there is too much substance abuse in the movie business. link

Damn. He'll be missed (edit: when he dies). http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=55908 edit 2: apparantly he died shortly after debunking the rumor of his death: http://www.ronniejamesdio.com/. He'll be missed. :(

Since I know that a few of the members here are strategy gamers, I thought I'd mention this title. It was just released yesterday, and I've been playing it for a little while now. It's a real time strategy game, where you have to take control of ancient Greece as Philip of Macedon. I'm not...

It's more like gamersgate, really. Once you make an account, you can access a page that shows all the games you own on GOG. From there you can download the games as often as you want, but you'll have to download the GOG downloader first. When the game is downloaded you install it to any...

It's funny that this comes from Ebert, considering that movies weren't considered art for many years. That said, I kind of agree with him. Although I think games could conceivably be art, I don't think I've played one yet that I'd seriously call a piece of art. He's also right that some...

Actually, it's because GOG made a deal with Atari (in this particular case) to sell the game. I'm assuming Atari is getting paid. I agree that current copyright laws are flawed and dysfunctional, though.

Yeah, and Master of Magic on thursday. :)

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum." [spoiler:86f256f11c]"Massive Attack also gum color and kukitafuna"[/spoiler:86f256f11c] I don't even know what that last word means...

With regards to MoM2, you might be interested in Elemental, if you haven't already heard about it. It's not excactly MoM2, but it really wants to be, and it certainly looks interesting. Anyway, as far as I can remember, part of the reason why MoO3 turned out the way it did, was that they...

Master of Orion 3 is definitely one of the worst games I remember playing. Usually I stop playing pretty fast if I'm not enjoying a game, but I really wanted MoO3 to be good, so I kept playing, hoping it would get better, but no luck. I guess a big part of whether a game is perceived as good...

This one is actually pretty good.

Luckily, real geeks still make games. I find that the best games these days are usually made by tiny independent studios.
