Conan Obrien Hits His Head.

Wow. He really smashes his head.



Remember people if you fall back learn to turtle up and tuck your head forward.

Any basic class or book on Judo is a great way to learn how to fall.

Randomness in Games

Nice little collection of slides that go along with a presentation about randomness in gameplay.

Pulled from RPS.

Plants VS Zombies. Green Thumbs Up!

So I saw that this game was in stores now. Target had it on sale $14.99 compared to the regular $20 price. So I had to bite.

This is a great game.

I have only played "Tower Defense" mingames in the past but this is really more in depth.

Also the level of humor in the game is amazing. There are a lot of great touches.

Easy to play but the games gets more depth quickly. This is not your average casual gamer game.

If you can find a deal on this game BUY it.

L…l…look at you, hacker: a p-pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone

I just finished System Shock 2.

It's an amazing game! I really thought that it might suffer from having a great start but little substance during the ending levels but I was VERY wrong. Shodan has to be one of the best characters I have seen in a video game yet. If you have not read the following article than please read it.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to run this game on my newer computer but a bunch of patches, fixes and some manual typing to get my video card to work with the game later I was running it.

What can I say, it's ten years old and it's still GREAT. I can fully see myself replaying this game again in the winter playing as a Psi-class character.
