More Physics, More Skyrim
After doing some further gameplay to explicitly test the physics of Skyrim, I felt the need to do some background on the physics engine at hand. The engine, which many of you have probably heard of before, is the Havok physics engine. This is a collision-based physics engine that focuses on the dynamic interaction between […]

The room is dark, musty, and strangely cold. You can’t quite figure out what it is that chills you, but the source must be here. As you reach out to feel the walls, you are startled by low-hanging moss. There is water in the air, meaning a source of water must be nearby. With a […]

I’ve started listening to the Weekend Confirmed podcast which is run by the folks at Shack News, a gaming news site / blog from back before blogging was even a noun/verb. The podcast is run by game reviewer/illuminati Garnett Lee, and I began listening after the Totally Rad Show’s Jeff Cannata mentioned it as another […]

Interesting game-play that seems to have evolved over the series based on fan feedback? Check. Awesome pop-synth score? Check. Characters with motivations, conflicts, and weaknesses that make you care for […]

The emergency room is at once both a fascinating and terrifying place. It is an exercise in balance and limitations, boiling down to either chaos or controlled chaos. This was my observation at a fully staffed, well stocked 400 bed regional referral center in west Texas. It tests the limits of my imagination to fathom […]

A few days ago, we woke up to the sound of concern. It seemed to be permeating from our comments board. In particular, this one: You folks are businessfolks, right? You’re interested in selling as much stuff as possible, right? I read about Healingblade in The Scientist, immediately thought of how much fun it would […]

We’ve made a ripple on the gentle wave of counter-culture that is Nerdcore HipHop. A few days ago we got a shoutout from BlakLotus, the bassist for one particular MCFrontalot, seen by many as the group of individuals that pioneered the Nerdcore movement. How epic is that?

Ok, so while tripping along the intertubes today, we heard about this dude who somehow managed to snag a lifetime ban from Apple, because he chose to grab a few iPads for his mates outside of the US. Hmmm, sounds a lot like the time I grabbed a few gen one playstations for friends of […]
