The MP4-12C GT3 marries Formula 1 and innovative road car technology with GT3 specification performance enhancements to create a new [...]

LOTR Online Closed Beta

No comments

A few weeks back I wrote that I signed up for the upcoming Lord of the Rings Online (LOTR) Siege of Mirkwood beta.  Earlier today I received my invite to join the closed beta.  Downloading now. According to the T&Cs I am not allowed to post any commentary on the game, but I suppose I [...]

Just for shits and giggles I signed up for the Lord of the Rings Online beta to see if I can get in on some of the relaunch fun before the actual free to play relaunch this fall. According to Eurogamer: You’ll be able to play up to level 50 – the level cap of [...]

I may going into a more detailed off topic (“Stuffs”) post over the weekend discussing what I have been up to and how I spent my time during my recent sabbatical … er Spring Break. The PS3 has not been on except for some Blu-ray goodness, and the PSP has been stowed away since my [...]

OOTP 11 – Preorder Special

No comments

I decided to preorder Out of the Park Baseball 11 (OOTP 11) while it was $15 off. Getting OOTP 11 for $24.99 is actually $5 cheaper than I paid for OOTP 10 back in November! It has been my experience that OOTP typically goes on sale for $10 off throughout the year, and maybe drops [...]

A Long Race …

No comments

I have been posting and posting and posting, for a long time. Maybe too long; maybe not long enough. For better or worse, I have thrown up daily content for something akin to 7+ months, which is a pretty nice achievement, but I am going to have to end this run sooner or later. But [...]

If you have been sitting on the fence thinking about purchasing OOTP X, now is the perfect time as the game is $15 off to close out 2009. It’s a perfect time to buy OOTP Developments games, because from now through December 31st, we’re offering discounts on THREE different OOTP Dev games: $15 off of [...]

I have been attempting to get into OOTP Baseball 10, which I purchased on sale for $29.99 a few hours after the 2009 World Series ended. I say attempting, because the game in damn complicated. Maybe insanely in-depth is a better description. I skipped the last couple of iterations of OOTP. Going back a few [...]

OOTP 10 – Hot Stove Style

No comments

Before game six of last night’s World Series I was torn between spending $29.99 on OOTP 10 (or OOTP X) or waiting for a while (i.e. until the next installment in 2010). I finally decided to download the game, went to order a license, and then pulled the plug. I figured if the Phillies pushed [...]

Today is a slow news day; nothing new, exciting, or interesting to report from the various happening across the interwebs. I didn’t get to any of the topics that I wanted to address last weekend, so I have some catching up to do over the next few days. I do have a couple of PC [...]

Over the weekend I decided to close down my WoW account. To be fair, WoW is a fun game, but I just do not get $14.95/month out of it. Around Thanksgiving or Christmas when I have a few days off I will probably reactivate the account, but for now I will move on to other [...]

Painful return to WoW

No comments

After 18 months, last night on a complete whim, I decide to return to World of WarCraft. After finding my finding my boxed version game – the older version with 5 painstakingly slow loading CDs – I installed the game. This took a good hour. At least it felt that way, but I was not [...]

Another day, another game of spin the numbers. This time MCV (via N4G) shows us that the PS3 outperforms Xbox 360 for EA. Wii revenues lead the charge at $161m, up from $109m in the same quarter last year. Next up was PC, which courtesy of The Sims 3, bought in a considerable $124m. Next [...]

I think it is pretty damn impressive that the World of Warcraft (WoW) subscriber base is currently at 11.5 million. Meanwhile, Activision Blizzard’s most recent World of Warcraft subscriber figures revealed 11.5 million users are signed up to the game, with those located in the US paying USD 15 a month to play online. That [...]
