• Star Trek: The Video Game (A Cooperative Review)
  After the amount of yammering on I’ve done about Star Trek games, I would be remiss to not review Star Trek: The Video Game, based on JJ Abrams’s version of the franchise and bridging (some of) the gap between the 2009 movie and this year’s Star Trek Into Darkness. The game was described at E3 as a “bro-op,” alluding to the highly cooperative nature of the K […]
• Trekabout Episode 38: Kissy Stuff
  It seems that Spock is getting restless. In “Requiem for Methuselah”, he surprises everyone by expressing a desire to get drunk while listening to some sick Brahms’ sonatas. Later, in “The Way to Eden”, he drops out, turns on, and tunes in with the cast of a 23rd Century traveling production of Hair. Plus! Richard […]
• Xbox One: A flawed plan, well executed
  There is a famous (unfortunately apocryphal) psychological experiment involving ten monkeys, a banana and ice cold water. Five of the monkeys were placed in a cage with a banana at the top of some steps in a corner. One monkey heads for the banana and gets soused with ice cold water. So do the other monkeys. The next time a monkey goes for the banana, the ot […]
• Nick Trujillo Presents: Skyward Collapse Comic (Complete Collection)
  The entire collection of Nick Trujillo's comic is here for your enjoyment!  Skyward Collapse comes out later today on Steam, Green Man Gaming, GamersGate, and our own site. About The Collaboration I became aware of Nick Trujillo through the Strip Search reality show that Penny Arcade has been running.  Nick was my personal favorite to win, so I was surp […]
• This is the neeeeeeeeeeews
  Hello! I’ve always wanted to type that so… HELLO! Yes, we had a very nice chat with Sony yesterday. And by “we” I mean the absolutely lovely Andy White who rolled up in person to Sony HQ to talk to the equally lovely Shahid about bringing videogames and lasers to Sony. Because everyone needs more […]
• Nick Trujillo Presents: Skyward Collapse Comic Page 4
  The fourth page of Nick Trujillo's comic is now up!  Here are page one, page two and page 3 if you missed them.  One more page is in the works and will be available shortly. The release of Skyward Collapse is on the 23rd -- that's tomorrow!  Enjoy! […]
• [Gamesbriefers] Should you go free-to-play with big name ip?
  Question: You run a big games company. You have the Star Wars licence to release a game on tablets and phones to coincide with the next movie. The game will definitely have IAP to provide variable pricing over time, but what is your initial price point for the game? This is Star Wars. There will be more marketing out there than you can possibly imagine. Fans […]
• Skyward Collapse Official Trailer
  How do you balance -- and indeed encourage -- a war between factions without letting either side obliterate the other?  How do you rule over gods, creatures, and men who refuse to obey you?  How do you build a landscape of villages when bandits and mythology are conspiring to tear it down?  Skyward Collapse places you into the role of The Creator, and frees […]
• Forget that Norton guy; it's The Laffer Utilities Ver. 4.01!
  Nowadays nobody seems to remember neither them PC Tools nor those over-priced Norton Utilities we  all used to install in order to have our PCs actually come close to doing stuff, and I frankly do not particularly miss this part of the era. On the other hand, you can't really complain when you are 14, even if the only Sierra product you can afford are t […]
• The Oculus Rift is (probably) here to stay
  Some quick thoughts. A little over a year ago I wrote a short, half-baked thing for Infinite Lives, Why “virtual reality” will never catch on. Now, fewer than 400 days later, my little treatise already seems outdated and quaint. Oh, sure, the crux of my argument remains true: there is virtually (hah! Virtually) no way […]
