I mean, Fox was as big a star as you could be in those days. But, admittedly, the movie is dumb. I mean, really dumb. If you want to see ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/08/19/teen-wolf-gets-lampooned/ So, I just finished playing through the Too Human demo, and I've got to say, I'm not entirely sure I want to redeem my pre-order of the game. Early reviews of the full title aren't looking so good, and my personal experience with the demo mirrors the criticisms on 1UP. Even ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/08/18/demo-too-human/ The nice thing about going a while in between posts, there's a lot to talk about when I do finally get around to it. First off, there were a couple more disturbed individuals who blamed their criminal behavior directly on video games. A 18/19 year-old (stories differ on his age) man in ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/08/12/major-summer-update/ So, there are a lot of you out there who DON'T read Penny Arcade, for different reasons. But they're the reason I found this video. Anyone who's ever played Halo can appreciate this. I'll let Tycho's words speak for me: What really sets the presentation apart, though, is his frame by ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/07/18/i-guess-thats-er-neat/ Forget Food Service workers spitting in your food. Worry more about a pissed off sys admin locking out all other administrators of your city government's network. Personally, I think it's kinda awesome. In some strange, nerdy way, it feels like a win for the little guy. Even if win = a couple decades in PMITA prison. Orignally ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/07/15/dont-fuck-with-the-sys-admin/ So, this morning I was reading over the reviews of all the cool new apps you can get for the iPhone once you've upgraded to the latest version of the software. This got me all excited. "Finally," I thought to myself. "The functionality I've always wanted from this beautiful piece of ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/07/11/apple-why-have-you-forsaken-me/ I've always found the image of law enforcement officers riding around on Segways far more amusing than intimidating. That is, until I saw this photo over on Daily Mail Website... I don't care who you are, if you see a bunch of armed men on Segways, you do NOT resist. Can you imagine ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/07/03/no-words-can-describe-the-terror/ Seriously, State Legislatures, stop wasting my and other taxpayers’ money with futile lawsuits. The video game industry can self-regulate just like the music and movie industries. We have a ratings system. Those ratings are clearly marked on the box, and are no more or less vague than the movie ratings. ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/07/03/news-minnesota-owes-games-industry-65000-in-legal-fees/ Tick. Tick. Tick. First heard about this over on Ctrl+Alt+Del. I'm very excited. In other news, Blizzard officially announced Diablo III yesterday, which is also pretty exciting. I played the original Diablo pretty much non-stop for 6 months. I never finished Diablo II, but I was impressed with it. The Diablo formula seems ... http://pure-drivel.com/2008/07/02/squee-omfg-yes-yes-y-e-s/
