No regrets in canceling my MW2 pre-order

By spamfest | Published: November 9, 2009
Since I did wind up enjoying CoD4 more than I ever expected to, there is a part of me that remains disappointed in how MW2 turned out. The other day there was a live chat sponsored by Best Buy on IRC where people could ask Infinity Ward some questions, and in addition to what [...]

An Online Social Experiment

By spamfest | Published: March 22, 2009
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.

By spamfest | Published: March 20, 2009
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 Cleavage Conundrum

By spamfest | Published: January 22, 2009
A week or two ago I became aware of a sinister plot against me. Actually, it was originally for me, but I was never aware of it, so it wound up being against me after all. “Details?” you say? Why, of course! Back at school I had this friend. We’ll call her [...]

This is a post about poop.

By spamfest | Published: January 7, 2009
I don’t think any website is complete without a post dedicated to poop, so here’s one now. Half the people in my house have caught the stomach flu that’s been going around recently. It’s the kind that makes you spew liquidy things at high velocity from both ends with enough frequency to dehydrate in a [...]

Gamer Resolutions 2009

By spamfest | Published: January 1, 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 [...]

Cousin marriage is a-okay.

By spamfest | Published: December 24, 2008
I guess we can file this one under “things I didn’t expect to learn on Christmas Eve.” As it turns out, marrying your first cousin has been declared just peachy. Yup, Science said so. Apparently, reports of birth defects have been greatly exaggerated. In reality, the odds of them coming about are no [...]

Top Gear does it right.

By spamfest | Published: December 10, 2008
I’ve always liked Top Gear for their insight and sense of humor, but they’ve seriously outdone themselves now. Their recent review of the Euro-only Ford Fiesta is fucking fantastic. You won’t believe the things they do with this little car. While becoming an overused term, “epic” is probably the best way to [...]

ASCII Wars

By spamfest | Published: December 6, 2008
Fresh off the back of posting that last bit about the ever-present possibility of being unjustly banned from a server, it actually happened. No, seriously. Not even 48 hours after posting, me and my totally awesome in-game alias of S P A M F E S T found ourselves perma-banned from a CoD4 server I’d [...]

Because 60 FPS is never enough.

By spamfest | Published: November 22, 2008
A few days ago I noticed this post on Gizmodo highlighting that Falcon Northwest is now selling a gaming PC capable of running Crysis on its highest settings at 60 FPS. That’s cool, I guess, because it’s apparently the first ever to manage this, but it should come as no surprise how they pulled it off [...]
