I’m wasting time with these videos today, more so than usual. This is the video that convinced me to buy Team Fortress 2.

Quake Live Beta works now
They’ve solved the queue problem and I’ve just logged onto Quake Live beta. I had zero wait time. The game play was good.
New life for old games
Quake Live beta is a nice idea. It’s the old Quake III Arena family of games but via a web browser. This version rates you and attempts to pair you up with people with similar skill levels. It’s also popular: wait times to login are around 30 minutes! I like the idea but I re-purchased [...]
Don't walk around in the dark at home
I’m playing more FEAR2. It’s a creepy, but really fun game. After playing it for a while, walking around the house in the dark is freaking me out. My character just escaped from the not-hospital and the streets are filled with bad guys and remenants of dead people. It’s a good game but the original [...]
Games for Windows?
The moniker “Games for Windows” always makes me laugh. When I first started playing FPS like Castle Wolfenstien and the original DOOM series it was on a 386SX PC my brother had. Windows was not even on that PC and Windows was just a shell for running DOS apps. Games for Windows? What was that, [...]
High score on Bejeweled 2
I just got a 152,152 point high score on Bejeweled 2 classic mode on my iPhone. There’s something disturbing about my playing a game on my phone that long…
Monolith purchased the F.E.A.R. name from Activision
Sometimes I don’t get just spam in my e-mail. Monolith purchased the rights to the F.E.A.R. name from Activision. Check out the sequel web site. The first F.E.A.R. was meant to be played late at night and in the dark. When I played it, it scared the crap out of me. This real sequel is [...]
Old ID software games
I’m a sucker for the old games. For me the id super pack was too much to pass. It comes with virtually every id game up to and including DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil. When Steam came out, the idea of downloading games from the Internet was just plain silly. Now I can get games [...]
Gears of War for Windows
The other day I was in Best Buy getting some Nintendo DS Lite games for the kids. The Windows version of Gears of War was on sale for $30 so I got it. I always get last year’s games. After the nightmare known as Halo 2 for Windows I was worried that the game would [...]
Finished Valve's Portal and the Cake is a Lie
Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said ‘Goodbye’ and you were like ‘NO WAY!’ and then I was all ‘We pretended we were going to murder you’? That was great! I usually don’t play current games on my PC so I just got and completed Valve’s Portal. It’s a [...]
