I know this is all backward because you usually watch a trailer before a game is released or you actually play it (and I know I found about about all this so late), but Fallout 3 is so good… The last time I felt even close to this way about a game is when BF1942 was first released.

Intergalactic Power Punch
NES otaku headline: There was an unreleased sequel developed for Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!
It was never officially released due to licensing and quality problems.
It contained super-strong aliens and Don King…

There seems to be an occasional bug that creates an infinite loop of opening dialog boxes. If this happens to you, don’t panic. Hold down the Enter key on your keyboard and it should reset the page for you shortly.
Between this bug and the autoplay nature of the home page, it makes it impossible to keep the site open in your browser, tho.
Crude/Elegant S-Video connector hack for solving B&W output on Nvidia graphic cards
The title basically sums it up. I think it’s really stupid that Nvidia hasn’t fixed the TV output issues for several years, through tens of driver upgrades. Anyway, I tore my hair out screwing around with the Nvidia Control Panel after upgrading to the newest GeForce drivers (175.16) completely killed my TV output. Downgrading to version 169.21 drivers restored output, but it was – you guessed it! – frustratingly devoid of any color.
I tried so many things to fix this, I don’t even want to remember it, so to make a long story short, if you have similar problems, try the hack described on these pages:
GTA4
The first page is 200% funnier than the second one: 25 Rejected Ideas From Grand Theft Auto IV
Creepiest Gaming Hardware, EVER
An electronic sculpture that spurts fake blood when someone dies on the attached Counter-Strike server.
Looks like it needs a super-gusher feature for head shots.

Pretty cool: Filler

If you don’t have an interest in games or recent game reviews, skip this post. I’ve already posted too many nerdy videos today; this may send you to the store in search of a GPS-enabled pocket protector for your Wii controller.
Basically, these two videos from the Escapist describe why I preferred Medal of Honor Airborne over Bioshock (and Hitler riding a robot tarantula would have made it even better):
“If you are experiencing difficulty viewing this video, please disable NoScript or AdBlock add-ons, or ensure that your browser’s security settings are set to enable JavaScript for videoegg.”
Yo, Grig.
Since it can’t get much nerdier around here than posting theremin videos, I might as well put this one out there as well: Has there ever been a game released based on the (awesome) 80’s movie, “The Last Starfighter?“
Long answer: There were plans to release an arcade version with vector graphics like the Star Wars arcade game but this never got beyond early stages… (link to full history)
Short answer: Go download it
