World War Whatever
I’m a Starcraft player that plays on ladder (no eSports for me). One of the biggest advantages these machines have is that they can select as many attack pathways as they want in a single Hz, whereas a human player… Read more…
The Intergalactic Secret Police

See The World, They Said…
Between computer simulations and virtualizations, didactery, action movie funding, advertising, dragnets, hallucinations, air strikes, and product abuse, some strange society has easily spent over $1 Billion trying to kill me. Good thing I’m infinite and mass produced. I don’t give… Read more…
Diablo 3 LAN
My partner is camera shy, but I’m plastered to every wall playing Diablo 3, and watching a video I made of myself playing Diablo 3 while making a video of myself. Videos on all four squares of the wall. Only… Read more…

Investigating My Own Modern Day Death
I am certain that my death was in some regard a punishment for deforming geometric pixels in software simulators. I have always lamented the shift from software simulators away from cheap, simple edutainment, and towards violence. These simulators are highly addictive,… Read more…

Abdullah Hamad recommends Warcraft III: Reforged. Introduction Warcraft is the reason I’m so in love with the RTS genre. I’m so happy to hear there is going to be a remaster, and I hope everything goes smoothly over at Blizzard… Read more…
The Gods Of Thieves
I hate it when a product breaks, and I am given a refurbished model after sending it in for a repair. The refurbished model is NEVER as good as the original. I’ve even traded for a refurb of a refurb,… Read more…
Back to the Frat with a Baseball Hat
Is there a Sigma [Pi Kappa] (Σ[πκ]) frat for PC gamers and mathematicians focusing on microcosmal software virtualization investigations for realism and physical fidelity?

Nerd Baller Secure Computer for Predicting the Future
I think my next nest PC is going to be a media live production, network cloud working, and streaming box. It will have an under-powered sound channel card, graphics card, and tv tuner for export of selective media to others…. Read more…
The Art of The Videogame of War

Improvised Music Addenda To Sapient Organism Samorost 3
Helluva ride. The game music is very accepting of horn overlay, perhaps as an “in” to the main character listening and playing on his own horn throughout the game!… Read more…
Banging on Heaven’s Doorstep

Post DigitoCoital Letdown
Summation of the Steam video game presentation hellhole as follows is why I’m not particularly interested in Steam Machines or SteamVR or Steam Controllers. What a waste of time. iTunes is pretty shit, too. All these builds are bad. At… Read more…

Now doing decent damage in Torment II difficulty. After I found that KKK-looking helm, called Crown of the Primus, with all runes unlocked for the wizard’s slow time ability, and transmuted it to look more acceptable (Immortal King helm rules),… Read more…
Bringing it All Together
New game idea: “Neverborn: Brush with Death”. Game is realistic as opposed to cartoony. The setting is dystopian, high-tech transhuman, body-mod Cyberpunk, mashed up with hipster beards and brown-suits gothic Steampunk. Character skills include Computer Science and Hacking, Technology Modding and… Read more…
Gibs and Greif!
What if recent intimations in society regarding the holographic nature of the universe, and the idea that life is a virtualization are merely outgrowths of the 3D video game industry’s success in mastering the nature of reality into mechanical simile?… Read more…
