If you’re playing BioShock, I discovered a “fool proof” way to take down a BigDaddy very quickly without any risk;
Highlight spoiler text below for solution:

DirectX 10
ooooohhh…. in-game screen-caps from Crysis, a DirectX 10 game built for Windows Vista. Almost looks real…
Hellgate: London, Videos and more
Hellgate: London looks like it will be ready for an October release based on the rumors going out. The forums have a wonderful post with a lot of in-game footage videos. According to an interviewwith Flagship CEO (the developer of H:L), there will be significant “free online content,” which could mean anything, but there will [...]
BioShock
A recent article on joystiq regarding the moral choices of BioShock has been published. In BioShock, you are a survivor of an airplane crash in the mid-Atlantic (read this MSNBC article for a full review). You submerge to an underwater city (a la Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand) of objectivist engineers, businessmen, artists, etc. But… Not all [...]

Paycheck Showdown
A topic near and dear to my heart, my Paycheck.

The summary of the episode is this boy [...]
