Man, it appears we're in for one boring gaming summer. Apart from The Last of Us, which is PS3-only, there's really not a lot on the horizon to get us through the approaching trimester of laziness and sweat. Once again, we'll be rummaging through our own game archives, simultaneously trying to dig up something via those Steam discounts just to get that much needed gaming fix...

There's a very good reason why I get sucked into games like XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Fez, SimCity, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Portal 2. Not just because they're damn-good games, but because each and every one of them feels like a labor of love in ever aspect. That's about it. Everything else sucks at the moment. Well, apart from FC 3: BD...and The Walking Dead. If mainstream gaming is home cooking, I'm gonna fucking order out!

Okay, here's a choice for ya:  A Freelancer-type game set in the Star Wars universe A Fallout-type game set in a Tolstoy universe (a weird-ass idea that spawned thanks to a discusion on AT Facebook this morning) A gory FPS set in a Sense & Sensibility universe Feel free to add something else you'd like to see on the gaming scene.  

I'm utterly disgusted with what current mainstream gaming scene has to offer and the same bloody thing goes for movies, especially the crap that was released in the last few years or so. After the news that EVE Online will be made into a TV series, well, that certainly made me realize just how pathetically unoriginal the entertainment industry has become...

I want to be immersed in a game as much as I was when I played Dragon Age: Origins. Or Neverwinter Nights and all of its expansion packs. Or Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Or Red Dead Redemption. Or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Or Half-Life 2. That's clearly too much to ask these days.

Well, call me a cock-slapping member of the pessimist boat crew, April is going to be an utterly lousy month for us gamers. I mean, Injustice: Gods Among Us and Kinect Star Wars - how pathetic is that? Makes me vomit just to think of it. Also, Kinect Star Wars? Well, okay, I've seen actual gameplay footage of this thing and it's not all bad, I guess...

Never gonna spare the rod from now on... Game wise.

The industry is just fine the way it is. Well, apart from all the retarded casual games for mobile devices and touch pads... ... and the generic shooters. ... and countless cloned 3rd-person action adventures. ... and all the stupid 3D platform for kiddies...

Someone asked me the other day, what's the best game I've ever played in my entire life. To this person I replied with one short and unbelievably simple answer: "you're a Goddamn retard!" Then I burped and fell asleep.

Glorious, I say, oh glorious Friday is upon us, which means that the weekend is one step closer and that means it's soon time to get sloshed out of our skulls. Oh c'mon, what else is there to do during the weekend but play games, get drunk with friends, have weekend sex and watch movies or read a good book...

Well now, let's have a look at what February has in store for us. First up is Hitman Trilogy HD, for anyone keen on relive 47's earlier endeavors. After that, on February 5, Visceral is up with their third installment in the Dead Space series - this time complete with a...

Jazz and classical seem to be the only music genres I can listen to and concentrate, while working or studying. Everything else just makes me drift into thought and lose the thread of what I was doing in the first place. That's one of the main reasons why masturbation proves rather difficult when I'm just using my imagination...

In this morning post I'm not going to yap on and on about irrelevant shit as I usually do. Instead, I'm going to offer a selection of leftover news stories - ya know, I few scoops you may have missed (or, to put it another way, stories I have missed): - Razer Hoping...

Likable and interesting characters - that's what's really important for a good game (and a good movie for that matter) and yet we see so little of those lately. Think back to the last game you played where the characters were interesting enough to make you actually care about what's going to happen to them...

Okay, I'm writing the news and for some reason my right hand is freezing and my left hand is warm. Now before you start getting ideas, no, I use my right hand to masturbate so it's not that. I'm trying the solve the riddle why half my body seems to be cold while the other half is warm...
