Allods of Trepidation

Published 21 minutes ago by Scott at Pumping Irony

Horrible pun. HORRIBLE! But it’s staying anyway. gPotato has their new F2P MMORPG, Allods Online , entering Phase 2 of Closed Beta. Graphically, it looks appealing enough though I’m wary of gPotato’s item shops from past experience but I’m willing to install the full ...

This month’s GameInformer magazine has an interview with Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller fame, where he talks a bit about videogame violence. My favorite snippet (since Syp already has dibs on “Quote of the Day”) is: The truth of the matter is there have been so many ...

Crossroads

Published 46 hours ago by Scott at Pumping Irony

Sorry, this is not a post discussing the life-lessons of the 1986 Ralph Machio movie of the same name, although I will freely admit to owning the MP3 of the “Head-cuttin’ Duel” by Steve Vai and Ry Cooder from the movie. Good stuff there! No, my lease is nearly up at ...

Happy Thanksgiving ‘09

Published 5 days ago by Scott at Pumping Irony

It’s been years and years since I’ve liked this holiday in the slightest, mostly because of getting sick from eating too many olives and chocolate-covered raisins as a kid one Thanksgiving. But still, being thankful for various people and aspects in your life is a good notion. I ...

Facebook

Published 7 days ago by Scott at Pumping Irony

I finally broke down and signed up for Facebook a few days ago after a friend and co-worker Tiffany kept harassing me about it. I’d seen (never joined) many a MySpace page and never saw one that look any better than the average Geocities or Tripod page from last decade and just figured ...

Types of Romance in Fiction [NSFW]

Published 12 days ago by Scott at Pumping Irony

I recently added Twilight to my Netflix queue and it happened to arrive right around the Halloween / Samhain holidays this year, which Halloween-wise is perfect for watching vampire movies. I’ve never read any of the Twilight Saga novels, and the movie left me wondering why exactly this ...

Bon Appétit
