If you’re like me then there’s not much you like more than a strong dose of caffeinated soda pop while watching a geek retro mashup of what made gaming great. Being a geek born in the eighties means I had the best of both worlds. I was alive for the beginning, and yet old enough to get the best out of gaming. Born a few years earlier and I may well have missed the industry in its prime. However being a geek these day’s is hard work. COmpeting with the new generation is a somewhat tiring experience. Competing with the hard-core gamers and the Geek Chic makes me wonder about all the years I spent as a social outcast. Geek is in, and sport is just another aspect of the geek lifestyle.
So for your viewing pleasure ten minutes and over 200 retro games available free right now. Bring back a little nostalgia and enjoy.
Its been a long time – GLaDOS
Portal was one of the best puzzle games in 2009. Possibly the perfect mix of game for the acerage geek. Puzzle action and humour, add a dash of geek referance and geek nostalgia and there you have it. It looks like the developers are taking the sequel to a whole new level.
Just have a look you will be amazed on how valve have put this teaser together.
Pushing music to the speed of geek, ArcAttack is using Tesla Coils to produce the Doctor Who Theme. If that’s not a geek wet dream I don’t know what is. Of course a few traditional instruments are needed, and obviously a guy dressed in a faraday suit for all those moments of visual geekotica.
During the Makers Fair in San Mateo, California, ArcAttack played the popular Doctor Who theme staring two singing tesla coils. In addition to there already considerably geeky setup a man wearing a Faraday Suit stood between the two coils and manipulated the electrical arcs. This is something worth seeing, I highly recomend the youtube clip embed. Read the rest of this entry »
This amused me, not as much as getting smashed with friends and streaming ourselves singing bohemian rhapsody from our share house kitchen . But we can’t have it all can we.
Bohemian Rhapsody spoof of Battlestar Galactica starring Gandalf the White and Xena Warrior Princess, kinda.
Well Mass Effect 2 is coming out halfway through next month, so I thought I’d give you as thorough a review as possible so you’ll consider preordering it in time. Now I’m a Mass Effect fan, played it extensively on XBox 360, and PC. Yes, there were issues with the first game, but personally I believed those issues to be worth putting up with for a new type of RPG. It was really the first decent Sci-Fi third person RPG/FPS game ever made, and with games that revolutionise both the nature of those two genre’s, usually you’ll either find a very awesome game. Or you’ll find a game that could have been awesome but is let down by some issues with execution. ME was sadly in the second category. But Mass Effect 2 looks to be of the first category, and I’ll go into some detail why.
