9-5 Gaming: Hitler in the dish tank in Gaming JoeUser Forums

If I had not seen this I never would have believed it. My good friend works at restaurant as one of managers. I won’t say what one but it sounds a lot like “Mole-Gaas”. If you have never worked in a restaurant in your life then you should be ashamed. Everyone that goes out to eat should have to spend a week serving people food. That gripe aside you meet the most interesting people when you work in a restaurant. I won’t say his name but&helli

Reply to 9-5 Gaming: You will be dead by then Mr. J. Thompson in Gaming Stardock Forums

In this case I prefer to make an example of him. I have nothing against Christians or simple levels of morality in any way. On the other hand I don't like crazy jerks messing with my games or cheating the legal system for the sake of a crusade. We call them crusades these days more often than not because it is a bad idea. Call this attention I am giving him a focus on zealotry. A Zealot is often defined as someone whom redoubles their efforts while losing sight of their goals. Don'

To clarify he is not disbarred yet. I didn't wish death on him, I just don't think he will survive this and I am not sorry to see him go. However you are correct in that wishing death on him proves his point but not in the way he might say so. He might suggest that video games lead me to such violent thoughts. However I speak as someone who has had something dear to him threatened by someone who doesn’t understand it. I urge you to find someone that wouldn't have the fi

9-5 Gaming: You will be dead by then Mr. J. Thompson in Gaming JoeUser Forums

So this is old news as of just before the weekend. Chances are that since I got the message through the Penny Arcade site you might already know about it. You can find the comic on it here . It is said that if you rant hard and long enough that not only will people stop listening to you they will go out of their way to shut you up. In this case the courts just want Miami lawyer Jack Thompson to shut up long enough s

9-5 Gaming: Xbox is a dirty boy. in Gaming JoeUser Forums

I honestly don’t know what my title means so don’t go looking for any justification save for hidden frustration and fear that my own Xbox will randomly die on me someday. You might not have known but the company Alcatel-Lucent has been suing Xbox makers Microsoft for the tune of about 419 million dollars for patent infringement on the DvD components of the Xbox 360. As one would expect not o

9-5 Gaming: Retrospective run in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Last night I couldn’t help myself. I sat down looking around at the games I had to play an in some fast level of frustration I snapped and started playing old classics. I felt a huge sense of relief as I broke out Total Annilation: Kingdoms, Crimson Skys, Starcraft, Diablo 2, and even the original Spy Hunter. I began to think on the classics and what made them so. In most it seemed that the common thread was simplicity. Even in complex games simplicity seems to keep th

9-5 Gaming: Hellgate, tears of blood. in Gaming JoeUser Forums

With patch 1.3 out I once again loaded, patched, and played Hellgate. The child in me refuses to give up on this game but the adult in me really wants to talk about the tears of blood I am getting all over my keyboard. From the very beginning I told all of my friends about this game coming out. The Diablo team was making what was to be Diablo 3. My very favorite 3D company Blur even did a trailer for it that was on constant loop in my PC and brain. However there is a sad fact

9-5 Gaming: Game Stores and their Ilk. in Gaming JoeUser Forums

I don’t know how many gamers rely on game stores these days. EB Games/Game Stop have become a corporate shadowy corpse of once known glory. I for one hope and pray that they drop below the deck on sales thanks to digital distribution. Game Stop makes about 50 cents on the dollar with used games. Employees throw some preprogrammed rigmarole at you as you walk in about trading your games back then they try pushing the used titles. Fair enough in a free market but it is beyond

Well it is an online community. What is the point of comment boxes if you don't want feed back? If you on to movies and you are into them there are tons of stories in the "trends" out there. I would say go to town.

9-5 Gaming: Netflix…F***ing DUH!! in Gaming JoeUser Forums

For nearly a year my wife and I were enrolled into the Blockbuster mail-you-the-movies online crap. Why? Because it was cheaper than cable and we lived behind the bloody store. In case that makes no sense to you when Blockbuster brought in this service for some $16.50 I could have three movies out at a time and take them to the store to rent the next one for free while I waited for th

9-5 Gaming: MMORPG big ticket in Gaming JoeUser Forums

As a “MMO Per Ger” I have had the experience of true addiction to a game in the past. However like so many premed student loan victims I have met I can say “I was young and I didn’t know any better” without actually lying. This was also true of the game industry as a whole. When Ultima Online hit shelves and MUDs now had an actual 3D face to call your own gamers like myself went wild. Even the idea of paying ten buc

9-5 Gaming: Rock Band notation. Recently thanks to people talking to me about Rock Band (and marriage counseling oddly enough) I stumbled upon this. I want to point out fundamental and practical flaws in this product. If you don't know this is the Guitar Hero 4 Drum set. Not to nitpick but the title i

9-5 Gaming: Oblivion: Revisited, Reloaded, Retarded in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Thanks to a lack of funds I have been going over some of the games I have. This would occur even with money available since I like to go back to most games I have played to see if I wasn’t beside myself with stupidity when I got them in the first place. With Oblivion I am still on the fen

Para I am pretty sure you are more than qualified, frankly far more than me. I didn't mean for that to be an elitist rant on how some can mourn and others can't. I apologize to any whom thought that. It's a sad day and a sad week. This Saturday I am drinking and Nerding out just as hard as I can in tribute.

Reply to Video Games Are Anti-Social and Addictive in Gaming JoeUser Forums

EVERYTHING in moderation. Even religion. Abuse and addition can occur in all things. Over zelous sports fans, car guys, artists, and yes faith. Everything can be over done and all consuming. Only when you leave time for other things and many things in your life do you express true joy. Above all else this is most important.

9-5 Gaming: TF2 in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Like any gamer of the FPS genre over the age of 22 I almost always had Team Fortress installed on my old machines. Once I knew Valve was making the next one I frothed at the mouth like a true fanboi would. Now that I have the game I am like a kid in the candy store of “bam heads
