Quick Guide to Setting Up a Minecraft Server
I’ve been meaning to write up a guide to setting up a minecraft server ever since I made the walk-through of our Minecraft server last year. It’s finally here so put on your nerd glasses, you know the ones you bought with the thick black frames and no lenses, and lets jump right into it. This will be showing how to set up a vanilla server and believe me, once you figure that out then setting up Bukkit or any other mods won’t be too difficult. Read the rest of this article…
Gas Guzzlers Review: A Competent Combat Racer, Little More
And Boom goes the Dynamite
I don’t know about you guys, but when I hear ‘car combat’, I think of Mad Max films. As far as gaming goes, any title marketed in the genre is really just Mario Kart with realistic cars and chain guns. I’ve played Interstate ’76 and Full Auto and Twisted Metal, and I know how big the audience is for Mario Kart (huge), and I know how big the audience is for mature car combat titles (small). Gamepires wanted us to know that there’s still room for one more game in which we shoot up our foes with rockets and shells and collect power-ups. Thus, Gas Guzzlers was born.

With Sadness, I Ended My Whiskey Media/Giant Bomb Subscription Today
Oh, that Brad Shoemaker. What a character.
It was nearly two years ago that Whiskey Media, hoping to finally become a business, opened up memberships by hosting the Big Live Live Show Live (later, its sequel) and proving to the internet that they could pull off some incredible stuff if people simply voted with their dollars. The idea of paying monthly for a set of web sites seemed pretty gnarly and old school many years after IGN and Gamespot had scaled back their subscriptions, but Whiskey’s fanbase, largely wrapped around flagship site Giant Bomb, was more than happy to give enough of their dollars to justify the experiment. Giant Bomb became my home after most of 1UP.com’s staff was dissolved and the Bombcast is still a regular 3-hour listen every Tuesday evening, so it’s a bitter moment to cancel my Whiskey Media subscription after all that time. But why?
Bullet Run – Tips, Tricks, And Strategy
PEW PEW!!
With the release of Bullet Run looming, there’s a ton of people playing the beta and getting their game on, killing one another for fame, money and glory.
When the game releases, of course, those people will have a leg up in experience and knowledge, which will help them rise to the top of the popularity heap faster than the newbies.
That being said, I have a few hints and tips which will help you in your quest for fame ad riches!
I Hate SimCity Social
I wish there was a way this game could be more despicably evil.
SimCity Social is a vile piece of shit. How dare you, Electronic Arts. You’d let my favored city management sim languish for years before building my hopes up with next year’s big release. Now you seek to tarnish not only SimCity’s reputation, but yours further, Electronic Arts already known as the worst company in America. While Zynga defined these games, Flash-based Facebook titles that forge and perpetuate a dependency on their slow-drip gameplay littered with microtransactions, EA deserves every last lashing for replicating their ruthlessness to the T. With absolutely no shame in their hearts, EA has produced a game on the whims of a meeting room full of Six Sigma-dieting MBAs that vow to sleaze up Facebook gaming to whatever profitable tangent possible. The world, nay, humanity, is worse off for it.
The Nintendo 3DS XL, A Stab In The Dark
I’ve expressed my thoughts on the 3DS during E3 with Nintendo demonstrating they weren’t joyous about the handheld’s future. But the reality is here: the 3DS is Nintendo’s main handheld and Nintendo needs a main handheld to keep their margins thick. Nintendo iterates on their hardware more often than they release flagship Mario titles and this new, gargantuan 3DS that features screens that feature nearly double the real estate as their previous iteration. Is this a stroke of genius?
Bullet Run Beta – First Impressions
Bullet Run. Lots of bodies…Lots and LOTS of bodies.
Well, the beta for Bullet Run is now underway and I’ve had a good change to sink my teeth into it. I’ve played now for several hours, through both the Domination and Team Deathmatch modes and, as you might guess, I have an opinion.
So here it is.
