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 (thx kenji)

Half-Life 2 Screenshots
Just like CS:Steam, Half-Life 2 can be supremely entertaining by just shooting random shit and seeing how it reacts in the game’s physics. I’m making myself stop playing for the night, which is easier than it sounds.

CS: Source Beta
CS: Source is out! Counter-Strike on the HL2 engine! So far, only a fraction of the players are actually playing seriously, almost everyone is experimenting with the new physics enabled by this awesome engine. NVG goggles, as pictured here, got a serious power-up, as did flashbangs. No more of the screen just whiting out crap, now you get double/blurry vision and a screeeeching headache when you get flashed as well. If you have a paid copy of Condition Zero, you qualify to beta test CS: Source. A tip: Join servers with a max capacity of 20 or under. If you don’t, prepare for serious lag. Either way, you’ll have lotsa…

Ridding society of guns does not rid it of violence. Man is a killer. Remember that the Japanese were not pacifists until they got nuked and occupied into submission. An example of extreme violence in modern Nippon.

Beef Bowl: The Game
When the ban on American beef imports rang the death knell for gyu-don (beef bowl), the most popular dish served at beloved fast food chain/icon of Japanese culture Yoshinoya, I tapped out a hasty ode to it in this post (gyu-don photos are posted here). I sure miss the emotional comfort that Yoshi-gyu provided; no matter where you were, at any hour, drunk or sober (usually the former), chances were there was a Yoshinoya within driving distance ready to serve you up a steaming bowl of tender sliced beef and onions – for a pittance. Indeed, around 3 AM the local Yoshinoya was like a beacon for night people and…

My aussie pal John is getting serious about Counter-strike; I think he’s hooked. Last time he came over to the house he played for five hours straight and ignored everyone around him, totally absorbed in the game. Yeah, I think I hooked him good. He bought a new PC and a new video card just so he could play… Next thing you know, he’ll stop eating “in real life” and be mean to his wife for trying to talk to him “when he’s defusing.” I’ll get some screen shots of me owning him and post later.

Today’s tip for lonely nerds: Forget the present, it is over by the time you think about it. Instead, relive the past and play a text-based adventure game. Like this: Welcome to Zork. This version created 11-MAR-91 (PHP mod 25-OCT-2001) There are 2 users playing Zork. You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. > open mailbox Opening the mailbox reveals: A leaflet. > read leaflet Taken. Welcome to Zork! Dungeon is a game of adventure, danger, and low cunning. In it you will explore some of the most amazing territory ever seen by mortal…

Condition Zero Review
In 3 words: Disappointing as hell. Description: CS 1.6 with bots. There were a few new maps and minor tweaking of some old maps. Whoopee. Worth 30 bones (at discount price)? HELL NO! But if you are a CS junkie, you will buy it anyway (like I needed to tell you that) Interesting note: If HL2 is this disappointing, I may smash my comp and only play sissy console games from now on.
