That means you should check it out, its pretty BAMF.

Right now we're just streaming youtube and other videos we can find. If YOU (YES YOU!) want to stream something let us know what it is, why you want to do it, and what are you doing to that small child you sick person. You know who you are. Cut that out Vic.

Anyway, I WAS going to stream some awesomesauce stuff I pirated I own legally and don't distribute online. Anyway, that didn't work out, so we'll restart that idea when I fix my computer

Make sure you join IRC too. Especially if you have requests etc. Chances are if the stream's up, there are people in IRC, so get on that shit mangz.

It’s been said--by Emerson, as it happens--that if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door. This was probably the general idea that High Voltage software had in mind when they began designing their much-vaunted new shooter, The Conduit. When I picked up the game on its release date a few days ago, I wasn’t really expecting it to live up to the hype. Not because it didn’t look good, but because the game was set up like the Jesus figure for the Wii: once and forever saving it from its gimmicky sins and providing the hope for a heaven of  serious FPS gaming.* It’s really too bad that the game couldn’t have been judged by a more realistic standard, because it’s a solid shooter with well-refined controls; but a messiah it’s not. But enough introduction. Let’s crucify this thing.

Okay, first and foremost: I am fully reviewing the multiplayer aspect of The Conduit only. Why? Because the single player mode gives me aneurysms. It’s… really difficult.  Do...

I turned five years old in 1996. I was a talkative little bastard, which may be why I have a relatively good memory of my early childhood. There's apparently some suggested correlation between vocabulary and memory.

Another fairly momentous event occurred in 1996. Late in the year, Pokemon Blue was released in America. Hundreds of thousands picked up copies, and suddenly the game turned into a roaring fad. My brother was among these people, and while I wouldn't own my own Red version until some time later, I became engrossed in the Pokemon madness.

I had a problem, though: unlike other kids my age, I couldn't read very well. Sure, I could put words together, but I was incapable of making it through anything that wasn't specifically designed to be read by particularly stupid young children. Pokemon wasn't written for idiots; I was forced to overcome my reading difficulties to play the game. In a certain capacity, Pokemon taught me how to read.
