“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Triple-A gaming deserves to die

Triple-A gaming deserves to die

The latest triple-A game to launch and faceplant, HARD, has been, of course, Gears of War: E-Day. The independent media has been full of news about just how bad things have gotten for that game – and, weirdly enough, this is one game where the backlash is, at first...
We deserve better psyops

We deserve better psyops

Over the past few days, we have all been subjected to a veritable barrage of FEAR-PR0N. It started with stories about an Omani pilot suddenly going all JIHAAAAAAAAD and suffering a premature detonation (of sorts) on a Flydubai flight to Izzrael. To be slightly more...
When boredom is your friend

When boredom is your friend

By random chance, a video from a trainer and coach in his mid-forties, with three small kids, crossed into my EWCHOOB feed the other day, in which the guy talked with refreshing candour and directness about the need to stop dicking around and wasting time in the gym:...

Tolkien is F***ING METAL

A few days before I went on vacation, Gary from Nerdrotic released a video explaining why the latest season of DEM RANGZ O’ POWAH!!! has completely failed to make any kind of impression among the viewers and the fanbase. The analysis was very good, as you would expect...

HALO: Campaign DEvolved

HALO: Campaign DEvolved

So I sat down yesterday and started playing HALO: Campaign Evolved, and, having played through “The Pillar of Autumn” and about a third of the way into “HALO”, plus the first bonus mission, I have to say… what a bloody disappointment. (Yes, MrUNIVAC, I did buy the...

WE WUZ GREEKZ ‘N’ SHIET!!!

The latest Hollyweird controversy from Paedowood is all about a new Christopher Nolan film – apparently, the famously spergy director wants to bring The Odyssey to the big screen. Now, normally, the words, “A Christopher Nolan Film”, translate to, “GUARAN-DAMN-TEED...
Is this what they died for?

Is this what they died for?

It is something of a tradition around here to celebrate the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944, when the Allied forces landed on the beaches at Normandy and stormed the cliffs overlooking the four landing sites. No one can question the bravery, tenacity, and heroism...
