Aaaahhh, nude Uno. I had the pleasure of owning one of those awful cameras, and my mates and I spent more than a few drunken hours playing this little gem online. The games always got more interesting when a fourth “Rando” would turn up with his junk out. Happy times. Read more

The IRS will accept this as the reason my taxes are screwy, right?
“I jumped on a cloud when I should have stomped on the koopa. But otherwise they’re totally right! When can I expect my mushroom to be deposited into my account?” Read more

I actually didn't know about the lack of game pad support! That's weird and slightly a bummer. I feel much more like a badass general when at my mouse and keyboard, but it is sweet to lean back, take a moment and ponder moves while in my arm chair Read more

That’s really kind of unfortunate as the only thing that would bring me back to GTA V is single player content. Then again, I don’t appear to be their target market any more. Read more

Did you say Sasquatch with mouth for stomach?

I wasn’t 100% sold on this episode until the Guy reveal. After that point, I could not stop laughing. This is Jose Chung / Bad Blood level of classic X-Files. Read more

Damn. I can’t do this. I guess another solution would be people go buy Twisted Metal for PS3 and play it with me. COME ON GUYS IT WAS A GOOD GAME!!!! PLEASE??? I’ll pay you in hugs.

I really wish someone would do a post mortem with the developers to find out what the feck happened with that game. There was literally a point in the game where I could shimmy across the ledge and the float upwards and disappear from the game world. Read more

I haven’t been able to get online all morning. Read more

This is the Great Game Collapse of 1983 all over again, except more granulated. Read more

The story from the Guardian is just horrible. That poor boy. That poor family. I do think there’s a big discrepancy between how we teach young women to be safe online, and how we teach boys the same. I can remember my mother being VERY adamant about my younger sister being safe, knowing who she was talking to, not Read more
