What the hell is wrong with Microsoft?
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Gadgets, Games, Misc., Rants
I’ve never really understood the devotion of die-hard Apple fanatics. You know the type: the ones who have owned all four versions of the iPhone, the ones who think the Apple TV was a good idea, the ones who will argue with a straight face that Aperture can be just as good as Photoshop.

I no longer fear hell, for I have dealt with Xbox support
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Games, Rants
I recently purchased an Xbox 360 Elite, partially to relieve the burden of my first-gen 360′s crowded hard drive, and partially to serve as a Media Center extender for my impending conversion to a Media Center DVR.

It actually serves as an example of everything that can be wrong with a movie: straying too far from the original source material, lazy and cliched writing, terrible acting, poor special effects, and inappropriate [...]

If I were in charge of everything (and I should be), these are the rules that I would impose upon this joyous season that is upon us.
A video game has never made you cry…but neither has a film or book
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Games, Rants
Video game blog Kotaku linked to an argument-provoking article on ihobo this weekend that makes the bold claim that a game has never made anyone cry. Well, not in and of itself. The author writes: This is the nub of the issue here: a story can make you cry by empathising with the protagonist (or [...]
