I take a look at the third iteration on the Serious Sam franchise.

I take a look at the Humble Indie Bundle V's Linux version of Psychonauts. How has this much loved game aged, and how does it run on Linux?
Linux has a few gaming stores now, and Steam is actually only the most recent. I attempt to take a quick look at which ones are better and which ones need improving.
I don't mean fail in a financial sense. You'll probably all still buy it. What I mean is that it'll fail in the fundamental sense, to deliver on the promise of doing what they say it can do.
Ideas in gaming: Games as fundamental truth
In what I'm trying to make a "thing", I explore the idea that video games are, at their most fundamental level, truth. This, by way of contrast to cinema, which is at its most fundamental level, lies.
Linux for Gamers 4: The Desktop Manager
This is it, the end of the road, the final boss. Will it be challenging and rewarding like old school games, or will you just spam attacks for a long time and / or be underwhelmed by how easy it is like newer games? All signs point to "yes".
Linux for Gamers 3: Processes and Services
As gamers, it is incumbent upon us to know exactly what's running on our systems and why, so that we may run games at their peak efficiency.
Linux for Gamers 2: Distribution
Let us continue on our path to Linux Mountain, atop which Linux Fairies make Linux Cookies. Or something.
A lot of exciting stuff is happening for gamers in Linux, and many Windows gamers are probably looking to make the leap to Linux, but aren't familiar enough with the platform to actually make the jump.
Ideas in Gaming: The Null Speedrun
I come up with an idea that might satisfy all sides in the hardcore vs casual wars.
The Sonic the Hedgehog series of games have had varying degrees of success, with many at the worse end of the scale, but why is this so?
I ponder music in games
I review a rather old game by EA DICE
I had some thoughts on the nature of revolutions
I play and review Brink, the latest game by Splash Damage.
Gamers laugh at things in different ways.
Does video game pay-for-stuff service Steam measure up against buying a physical copy? The answer might surprise you.
You can't say "Gamer" without saying "gay". It says so right there. I think if you're playing games in a heterosexual way you're probably doing it wrong.
I review a small game about a small creature hopping about in a small-ish world
It appears not many people have been able to download the Dragon Age 2 demo, so I thought I'd perform a public service by talking about it.
On republican violent rhetoric
I talk a little on the shooting of a US congresswoman, and the wisdom of the republican party's rhetoric.
Also, white people.
Are video games a shadow of their former selves? Why are we so willing to go along with this kind of thing?
I discover that hardware tessellation isn't really a feature, but isn't not a feature either.
Mommy I made a hypothesis in my pants.
Dear Game Designers: I'm not your precious little child. Let me go blow your carefully crafted sandcastle to smithereens.
I review a movie game tie in which isn't really great but it ticks all the right boxes.
Obscure pop culture references
Can you still call them pop culture references if nobody in popular culture would understand them?
Cooking Mama and Yakitate Japan
Gamers, despite their best effort, think guns are cool, like moviegoers think smoking is cool.
I refer to someone who refers to someone.
Pushing forward white, blonde, attractive women to normalise gaming doesn't help anyone.
Is that the question? And if so... who answers?
Women are more badass than men
Sometimes you want to write a god of war review and sometimes you want to do something else.
Did you know different consoles are different? You will hear these tautological statements and possibly more in this exciting episode of spot the difference.
I propose we buy no media for three months, and we also don't pirate them either. See what happens...
The real impact of video games
I find it really difficult to understand Michael Atkinson. He seems to not care one iota about understanding something he wishes to control.
No, wait. Saying that would merely be poetic, but not technically accurate... I'm like 80% water and stuff.
Are you like Indiana Jones saying "It belongs in a museum" or are you like ze Germans?
I'm using the title of a popular song to describe how Virtual Reality is, among other things, a stupid idea. I think that's called an Allegory.
Another dimension on the cheap
Here I talk about going 3D with no money and very little sense
That sounds like a good title for a book or something. Like the sequel to "Catcher in the Rye". Seriously though this is about video games.
... for people who don't really want a Braid walkthrough but really some hints instead.
See what I did there? Because her name is Stephanie...
For someone who's supposed to be really smart, Baroness Susan Greenfield sure doesn't understand the modern world. More like barren-ess, eh?
Or you could do something else
Perhaps instead of trying to change games to make them less about interactivity or decision making, you could... you know... watch a movie, or read a book?
The Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer is creepy because it de-creepifies something that's creepy.
My mortality finally reaches me, through gaming.
While micro management shows that you don't trust the autonomy of your team members, understanding your doods is t3h pwn.
Help me help you? That'll never work!
Some people think they're so great, but they're merely OK

Good luck with your new guild

The movie "Moon" paints a pretty dystopian future until you consider our present.
Women are more badass than men
Sometimes you want to write a god of war review and sometimes you want to do something else.
Sharing a genre with Modern Warfare would probably put this game in fairly decent company. I would also say that Dice have been a pretty solid company. Regardless, I compare bad company to it's close cousin...
Time to drop that zero and get yourself a hero
If you think about her as a happy emo, it really changes the whole experience: "Welcome to my life... It's a pretty good life. Enjoy your time and call me if you need anything."
Criminals make terrible bedfellows. Don't have sex with criminals is the one key point I want you to take away from all this...
I take up a lethal habit so you don't have to?

Apocalypto may not be the worst movie ever made, but it's close
I want to praise you like a shoe...
Review: Logitech MX Revolution
If you're thinking of buying one, read this review first
This is why cool people are cool, because they see our ridiculous machinations and say "yeah fuck that I'm going surfing".
Getting drunk in the future isn't what it's cracked up to be. I wonder if I could submit this to 365 tomorrows?
Looking forward to something no one is looking forward to
It was Friday and we were headed to the Opera.
Good luck with your new guild
A train journey through the looking glass
Watching me, watching you
Almost like a reality show about ninjas
First it was Australian Idol, then the Biggest Loser, Dancing on Ice, and now it's So you think you can Dance...
Simple events can give you a lot of confidence. Only people can take it away.
How we ended a game of Bartog based on the core rules
I talk about prototypes and agile design in film making.
My name is tim and I am a jealous prick!
I've recently made a few movies of some things in World of Warcraft. These movies are short so Nathan should't get hooked by watching them.
You'd never guess who i met at the train station the other day
That's right, it was nathan! I walked up to him but he didn't notice me. He looked right at me but he still didn't notice me! I realised that l would need to be more forceful.
A while back I decided to dive headfirst into Javascript with node.js, knockoutjs, and couchdb. I reflect on my experience.
Dynamic languages vs static languages

I try and translate the value of monads from the wild and crazy world of Functional Programming to the rough and tumble world of Java programming.
I talk about what Linux really means in the modern day.
I talk about the age old battle between vim and emacs, and specifically where vim loses out, and how to help.

You are my white whale, OSGi! I'd do my captain Ahab yell as I pierced thee with a polearm of some sort but I haven't actually read the book.
I was particularly incensed by a talk about software architecture, and how to do it right, and I've been mulling over in my head the best way to explain why thinking about software architecture in that way is wrong. Here's my take on it.
While everyone else is yammering on about the new iPhone, I bought a HTC One Mini at around half the price. I take a look at it here.
The unfortunate fact of Teller's important insight into magic is that eventually gets turned into hipster wisdom.
The ignorance is astounding.
I talk a little about what it means to be "Gnome" and the way Free GUI apps should be designed.
I talk about how the surface pro is the true incarnation of "post PC" compared to, say, the iPad.

I explain how inkjet printers work so people can better understand the "razor and blades" model.
I want to like cloud9 IDE, so I decided to give it a realistic test for a few weeks. However, for various reasons have decided to leave it.

I review my first ever apple device
Take a close look at who Apple Fanboys target, and you can see Apple's greatest and strengths and weaknesses
My web provider updated my server, which meant re-deploying my website, which in the case of rails is such a massive (and growing) pain that I decided I'd be better off writing a whole new site in Django.
In the end, the main thing I got out of the Android pictures in 2007 isn't how much has changed, it's how little.
The PC is dead. Long live the PC
We can look at death as the end, or we can look at it as a transition.
I read a phrase like "Technology: Trading the best for good enough". I can't find it now, but it's apt.
The road to ICS is paved with iPhone copied features that may help user friendliness, but ultimately destroys a lot of what I really liked about Android in the first place. BONUS ICE CREAM SANDWICH REVIEW... or a link to one...
The Truth Bomb regarding Android Lag
Android users drive like this, and iPhone users drive like this.
I don't know if you iPhone users understand this, but an iPhone is not a phone. An iMac (or whatever they're called these days) are not computers.
John Gruber is such a mac fanboi I'd almost call him a troll. If he'd just think through what he was saying he'd realise he was talking shit
The correct answer is "yes", because it doesn't let you log in using twitter or facebook, and you need an account to do anything. It's old timey like television or email.
I paranoia out about my security
Sometimes I'll talk about "rocking". I mean this in both the "rock and roll" as well as "rocking a cradle" OK?
Most people think of the Twitters as a "news" service. Computer scientists know better.

The solutions to all our problems
OK People, if after the release of VP8 you're not all happy, I have a way to solve that for you. And it's friggin' awesome.
Yeah I thought about putting this on the bug request database, but seriously an idea this good getting prioritised out is not a good idea.
Problem Solving and Estimations
What the hell is wrong with our industry when we pretend to contort ourselves into strange shapes to do things we've already done when we really want to do things we haven't done.
Questions confound me like a song stuck in your head. Luckily, there's a great way to forget them.
Computers have increasingly become servitors of our convenience, but in doing this they take far too long to get anything done.
This is why cool people are cool, because they see our ridiculous machinations and say "yeah fuck that I'm going surfing".
The crapification of engineers
I take a guess that Engineers are crappy now. Am I right? Only time will tell...
I'm using the title of a popular song to describe how Virtual Reality is, among other things, a stupid idea. I think that's called an Allegory.

When someone asks you to build a better mousetrap, and you find yourself trapped inside it, building a worse mousetrap is not necessarily the solution.
If you're trying to make sense of the title, you won't make sense of the title...
It's true. If you try and calculate the entropy of the universe you get "WTF" back as the answer. The universe is so stupid.
I like the fact that idiots are getting in on the act of <em>making operating systems</em> at OSNews, but they really need to have a little more respect for their elders.
Right then, switch to camera two... and... action!
Oh where oh where can my baby be? The lord took her away from me! She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good, so I can see my baby when I leave this world. Alternately: Oh where oh where can my baby be? Oh look here's a URL!
Problems with Agile software development
Is it just the capital "a"? Time will tell... sooner or later... time will tell.
While micro management shows that you don't trust the autonomy of your team members, understanding your doods is t3h pwn.
Even though it might seem like it, I am not advocating the return of clippy.
The next train on platform 2...
So there's this really cool app that integrates the Cityrail time table and even has an awesome scrolling tv mode much like the tvs at train stations.

I talk about the new Flickr model and how it isn't quite how Flickr advertise it, nor is it quite how people are perceiving it.
I talk about caring for a random person on the internet.
When plastic was invented it was seen as a miracle material. A huge amount of the ideology of the day, like Socialism, used plastic as part of its defining element -- plastic was the great equaliser. It came in many different colours, was strong and could be made into intricate shapes using little labour.
Responsive Internet: Not just for mobile!
I talk about some thoughts I had about how the internet should work several years ago, and how things worked out (hint: pretty great guys!)
I take a look at IPv6 and whether getting it for your home network will be a security threat.

The only thing deep about your thinking is the depth of the irony that you think reading a book will make you smarter.
There's something peculiar about the way you pay to save your soul and forfeit your dreams.

Man if Clay Shirky can do it, we can all do it!
