Gamer ChowWhen we think about food from around the world, stereotypes immediately kick in. In China, they have dim-sum, the Japanese have sushi, pasta reigns supreme in Italy and Mexicans have burritos. A couple of days ago, at Pod HQ (AKA Clark’s sorry excuse for an apartment), we were arguing about what kind of pizza to have delivered for the marathon gaming session we had ahead. Somehow, someway the argument mutated from pizza to Chinese food. Clark suddenly had a craving for General Tso’s Chicken. Idiotic as sticky food + controller = chaos. Safe to say I won because we got 2 boxes of pizza in less than 30 minutes.

Anyways, the argument got us thinking… What do gamers like to eat during their marathon sessions? Read More ►

When In-Game Advertising Strikes

I’ve been hearing complaints about in-game advertising and how it affects “the essense of gaming”. To that I say: Stop whining and just have fun. In-game advertising is everywhere. Whoever didn’t figure out it was going to happen eventually must be nuts. Is it good or bad? Let’s say both. Every free game on my [...]

The world has lost a great man. Steve Jobs has passed away – way too young, way too soon. He was 56. The world is a better place because of him. You will be missed, Mr. Jobs.

Excited for Diablo 3? Well, here’s something from Blizzard. No, it’s not open beta and no, it’s not a release date. They say its soon, but with Blizzard soon is relative. Relative to the time when man gets to Mars. Blizzard now has skill calculators set-up for you to plan your D3 builds.

While not exactly gaming related, I was compelled to share this because its simply awesome. A couple of overclockers were able to get an AMD FX (Bulldozer) chip to 8.429GHz. No benchmarks were run, the goal was the highest CPUz clock. You can expect to be able to get your hand on a Bulldozer chip [...]

Blizzard remains optimistic on a 2011 release for Diablo 3 but will not commit to a release date, not even a hint on what month it expects the game to ship. A 2011 release is indeed possible, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Diablo 3 beta season starts only at the end of this month, [...]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution was one of the games I was looking forward to in August. It was released 8 August and I got my copy 2 weeks later. Now, being a Final Fantasy, Xenogears, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc nut, its safe to say that I am a bit biased toward Square Enix so I had [...]
