Its finally happened.
I have become disillusioned with videogames. I can hear the gasps now.
God, I feel rotten.
No I haven’t suddenly developed a belief in a deity, nor Is this a prayer informing said deity of my current state of health. This is just how I feel at the moment. The God bit is merely an exclamation.
ISPs are not your friends
Internet Service Providers are great, or so you might think. Piping all the wonders of the web into your home for you to peruse at your leisure, allowing you to interact with friends and family all around the world. I’ve just found out (from my wife who has spent the morning researching these things for [...]
Gamer Lays It Down
With industry luminaries bemoaning the state of the PC games market and prophets of doom proclaiming the death of PC gaming around the web, its nice to see someone who cares enough to tell the devs and publishers how it should be. I’m not going to add anymore to this, Mark says it all.

John Reid, Someone Please Slap Him
Comment is free: Security is on the cards How stupid does this man think we are? I mean, really, its insulting.
