Ten Dollars for Equality
As you may or may not have heard, Activision wants to price the next entry-level CoD at $60. Yes, fellow PC gamers, they want us to pay what consolers shell out without question for no reason other than the fact that they want us to. Naturally, it seems many are up in arms [...]

Bored and Whatnot
Oh. That’s right. I have a website or something. Okay, I’m lying. I didn’t forget about it, but there have been a couple things getting in the way of updates.
First, I moved circa mid-April. I went from a house in the woods to the lower floor of a duplex in [...]
Ignoring Necessary Changes: Good for Business
If you’ve been following stuff, you’ll already know that the next game in the CoD series is slated to come out November 11th. They’re calling it “Modern Warfare 2″ — apparently dropping the “Call of Duty” bit entirely — in order to distance themselves away from Treyarch and their inability to make a decent [...]

An Online Social Experiment
I’ve been getting accused of hacking a lot recently. It’s not that I’ve gotten any better over the past few months — at least not that I’m aware. What’s more apparent is that the average skill level of the players on pubs has dropped as the game has aged. Whatever it is [...]

Don’t let noobs admin your server.
I just got vote-kicked from a CoD4 server because one terrible player decided I was hacking. He went on a crusade of accusations, brought in some of his butt-buddy clan members, and eventually, after about fifteen failed votes, got me kicked.
I’ve mentioned this kind of thing before, and it will probably always ring true. [...]

The Hardcore Fallacy
If you’ve been around CoD4 long enough, odds are you’ve noticed the trend in public server setups. While there used to be a healthy balance between normal mode and so-called “hardcore” mode, at some point the scales became annoyingly tipped toward the latter.
It’s now somewhat difficult to find a decent normal-mode server without mods [...]

You’re Not Helping
You know what I’m tired of? Seeing my teammates snipe in CoD4’s “hardcore” mode. Every time I see someone on my team doing it I feel like I should rip on them via text chat, but then I realize I’d have a pointless argument to push myself through, so I never do it. [...]

An Exercise in Spawn Rape
It’s been awhile, I know.
Let me apologize for this semi-great span of silence and offer a bit of an explanation. You see, when you meet a little hottie (literally; she’s 4′11″), talk to her, hang out with her, get drunk with her, and, um, do things with her, suddenly playing video games doesn’t seem [...]

Gamer Resolutions 2009
So, I saw this list of resolutions written for/about game developers and the industry, and in the comments someone said it ought to be done for gamers themselves. I decided to give it a little thought (seriously, not that much), and this is what I came up with!
I will expand my vocabulary. Not [...]
