  1. Wuhuuu Grid Wars!!!

    I seem to remember that this might have been mentioned here before? But anyways this game is so great that it is hard to believe - pure old-school arcade-joy. It is basically a better version of geometry wars - but for pc and it's free! A very nice article about it analyzing it's gaming origins, it's relation to geometry wars and a bit of strategy. Aaaaand download
  2. Wuhuuu Grid Wars!!!

    yeah sure its a clone. I didn't mean to imply it wasn't. Well, just don't play it then.... About the article - I think it is very nice. You might say he is not paying enough respect to the original creator of geometry wars ... but still...
  3. Actually I think it spells Lallam. Not sure though.
  4. Lois Lane? More like Lois LAME

    (thank you loonyboy - this discussion was getting way out of hand)
  5. Firefox 2.0

    yeah I really hate commercials taking cpu-time AND making my scrolling fidgety. Why doesn't these bastards realize that it doesn't work - it is just pissing the potential customer off... seriously it seems odd to me that google-type adds hasn't been used elsewhere much more....
  6. Firefox 2.0

    well well well, actually there isn't really a problem with memory leaks on firefox - and hasn't been for quite some versions. Most of peoples problems with memory-leaks comes from badly coded extensions. I recently cleaned out in my extensions and halved the memory use of firefox. Not all extensions does this - but some are notorious. I remember one of the early versions of tab-browser-extension was especially terrible in this sense.. So try to clean out in your extensions - and see what happens....
  7. Sam and Max

    And yes, I really liked the game. And I thought sam's voice was very well done. The only thing I could complain about is that the case with brady culture was rather hmm uninteresting - the execution of it was very nice - but the case itself ... anyways - what do you think? Am I crazy?
  8. Sam and Max

    I was wondering when the sam and max project was cancelled by lucas-arts? Was it 03-03-2004? There is a file box above the file-cabinet with this date, and when clicking it Sam says: "That was a particularly gruesome case"....
  9. PS3 launch units drop a further 20%

    HAHAHaaa - supercomputer indeed... it seems they have made a bottleneck there which actually makes the enormous amounts of data a game can be due to the blueray - stupid ... (it will probably not be a real problem, but its stupid none the less considering the ravings of the xXxtreme power of PS3)...
  10. Wiigion Locking

    I'm sorry - while I don't really understand your tv - it sounds like a really stupid tv for gaming

  12. Girls and Games: Some Statitsics

    I don't think ... and who wants a swatch anyway - you might as well just tell the time by beating yourself once every hour .. HAh

  18. Interview Etiquette

    Don't send a thank you note. At least in scandinavia this is desperate and signals that they really did you a favor interviewing you - making you seem like someone who nobody normally would interview.

  20. "How to Become a Better Videogame Journalist"

    And who the fuck uses Michael Crichton as an example of great literature. I mean seriously ... That says much of the authors literary dispositions...
  21. I just hope Syria wont get directly involved - and for purely egoistic reasons, I'm going there for a 1½ month dig. Well either we'll see some kind of cease fire and things will get better until it goes down in flames again in a couple of years. Else - all hell will break loose and there will be a regional war.
