Videogames

There's some guy in the computer lab I'm in, three rows over, practically screaming at the computer he's on while playing some FPS.

"OH MY GOD YOU FUCKING IDIOT"

Video games do awful things to people.

^^ like how that korean couple starved their baby so they can raise a virtual one online?

^^ like how that korean couple starved their baby so they can raise a virtual one online?

Kim Yoo-chul, 41, and Choi Mi-sun, 25, would feed their three-month-old baby only when not at 12-hour-online sessions in a local internet café. The pair were obsessed with raising their internet child, called Anima, resulting in the neglect of their unnamed real daughter.

I don't know what makes me feel worse about that, the fact that they starved her, or didn't even name her.

Good lord. I still play the first Deus Ex on occasion. Practically every time somebody mentions it I have this weird desire to re-install it.

You're wearing those sunglasses on a night mission? - My vision is augmented.
I wanted orange and it gave me lemon-lime.
Oh my god J.C. a bomb! - A bomb?

After these all-time classic video game quotes, can you really resist?

Parts of Deus Ex are really flawed (most of Paris is really boring, the ship yard is really boring, and the ship itself is even worse), but it's still one of the greatest games.

Have you played Nameless Mod? It's probably the best piece of user created content I've ever seen.

A LAM? Not a good choice for close combat.

Do you know what a philanthropist is? - Yeah, like Nietzsche - No, a philanthropist, like giving to charity - Oh.

Interesting link up on Kotaku today from a young author chronicling his cocaine and video game binging (yes I know) however does have some insight into what the medium can provide.

Video games: the addiction

^ even after reading the article I am surprised that he of all people would write a book in favor of video games.

However, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are supposed to be re-released in HD for PS3 Spring 2011.

In other news, Fallout: New Vegas hits stores October 19th. A good reason not to leave the house this winter. :)
