You Say PC, I Say Console Let’s Just Play Something Fun

Last week I wrote some articles about PC vs Console Gaming. The best part of that series was hearing that everyone basically had the same goal.

Game Companies Must Be The Spawn of Sauron

One System to Play them all, One System to Load them, One System to Join them all and in the darkness Entertain them.   I know, I know, Prof. Tolkien is rolling over in his grave right now.  But that said, this is basically what this series on Console vs PC Gaming is all about. [...]

Myth Busted: PCs Are Not Better Than Consoles

While researching answers to some of the typical myths about console gaming I thought of a movie about misconceptions.  One that reminded me that often times people rely too much on the “New is Better” philosophy. Oh sure, Real Steel is suppose to be a Father/Son buddy movie. But as a gamer I also can see [...]

Do You Still Walk Your Dinosaur? Then Why Play PC Games?

It’s a funny thought really, isn’t it? Walking a Dinosaur I mean. It sounds ludicrous doesn’t it? Who in their right mind would even think of walking such a beast? (Well, okay besides Fred Flinstone or our little friend in the picture above that is.)  But if such a concept is ludicrous, then why do we [...]

It’s Simple, SOPA and PIPA Will Put Everyone At Risk

Not much else to say  really.  I’ve done my research have read both bills.  And have to agree. SOPA and PIPA will put everyone at risk of going to jail. Let’s face it.  We all link to copyrighted material at one time or another.  And if you think you’re above that sort of thing.  And kid [...]

Star Wars: The Old Republic Is The MMO For…

Star Wars: The Old Republic is the MMO for RPG Gamers who are more concerned about their own character than the adventure.

There I said it. And even though I have only had a very limited time playing the Beta. I have read a ton of reviews and player diaries. And I can’t tell you how many YouTube videos I’ve watched. All of this trying to find a something to spark an interest in playing this game.

Brig Ponders There Are Only Three Truths In Life: Death, Taxes And Everyone Cheats

Have you ever thought about how much everyone cheats now-a-days? Long gone are the days of, “If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you?” Today’s you’re more apt to find someone asking, “How is it cheating if everyone else does it?” It used to be there are only two certainties in life, Death and Taxes. But I think now we have three, Death, Taxes and Everyone Cheats.

Brig Ponders: What Makes The Bad Guys Bad And The Good Guys Good?

If we change our views so that the role of the antagonist is no longer evil but good, and that of the protagonist is no longer good but evil. How much of our own world view change? What about those we think of being criminals? And of course what about those who’s beliefs are so very different from ours.

Makes you ponder doesn’t it? How such a simple shift in something so simple can have now really wondering, “What makes the bad guy bad and what makes the good guy, good?” (And people wonder why I prefer independent television and movies!)
