Ostensibly intended for those of us who are so fed up with the daily grind that suicide is the most appetizing alternative, the goal of Karosi Suicide Salaryman is to kill yourself.

Thoughts on Fallout 3

I’ve got to say, overall I’m a bit disappointed in Fallout 3. What I’d wanted was a game much closer to Fallout 1 and 2. That is to say, a role playing game with turn-based strategy elements. What I got instead was something much closer to Oblivion, which is of course not a bit surprising […]

Free Game Friday: Maniac Mansion Deluxe

When I first had the idea for a Free Game Friday segment, the first two games that came to mind were Wasteland and Maniac Mansion Deluxe. I first played Maniac Mansion years ago on my Commodore 64. It was a wonderfully nonlinear adventure game with multiple solutions to its problems, excellent humor, and a lot […]

The Perils of Linearity

With my time in Stilwater officially at an end, I started up Gears of War 2 and have been progressing through the campaign all co-op style with my partner in crime from Saints Row 2. GoW2 is a great looking game with plenty of action, tons of goofy dialog and many, many, many pitched, frantic […]

My Avoision

Yes I’m still here despite not, you know, being here. Like Greg, I find myself assaulted by a rich library of games this season, many of which I can not play.  Well, that’s entirely not true.  I choose not to play them because I can’t spend enough time with them.  Well, that’s also not true.  […]
