The Pando Pandemic: Why You Might Already Be Infected

Does your internet feel tired?  Run down?  Does it pop out of parties?  Is it unpoopular?  Well, you probably have Pando Media Booster to blame for your poor internet performance as of late.  But what exactly is Pando Media Booster? 

Lo-Ping @ Comic-Con 2011- The Darkness II Demo Impressions

Be still, my beating heart!  Lucky ol’ me got to latch onto the show-floor demo of Darkess II at comic-con.  Unfortunately for you, no images/video could be taken outside of this here booth-shot.  So, without further ado, let’s get right to the blood-and-guts of the game, shall we?

Catherine Demo Impressions

Last week, the Catherine demo was finally released, and I finally got around to playing it.

Listen to Your Supreme Court Justices Make This Guy Sweat About Videogames

The Supreme Court recently ruled that the California violent videogames law was indeed unconstitutional.  A step in the right direction for videogames to be treated in the eyes of the law as an equal to film and televison, yes.  But how exactly did the proceedings go?

For the uninitiated, Supreme Court hearings are the hottest of the hotseats, where the Justices will relentlessly grill your stance on the constitutionality of the issue you’re representing.  In this case, Zachary Morazzini was asked to state his case why the California videogames ban was NOT unconstitutional.  If you listen carefully at around the one minute mark, you can hear Attorney General Morazzini’s Law degree crying.

“Greed is Good” – The Phrase That Spurred the EVE Online Riots

When it comes to MMOs, the word Microtransaction has been sacrilege to the average gamer; it’s definitely been the cause of angry gamers since Bethesda and the horse armor debacle. Couple this with the fact that MMOs have been a pretty good cash crop for the last few years, and you have a recipe for success, right?
