Left 4 Dead Sprays

Pretty much what the title says; the movie spoof posters seen in the loading screen campaigns turned into sprays. I pulled them from the Left 4 Dead Steam folder using programs over at Nem’s Tools. Desaturated versions have a more “used universe” look and do not stand out as...

Editorial: Becoming an “Older Gam3r”

I have a history of gaming. It started with Pac-Man in a Crystal’s restaurant. Then a Pong unit hooked up to our 12-inch black and white TV. Which was then followed up by an Atari 2600 and pile of games. Up until that point, I was still too young...

Really Slick Screensavers

I can’t remember the last time I thought “Wow” for a screen saver. But in searching for dual monitor programs, I came across this page: reallyslick.com is a website by Terry Welsh who created OpenGL screen savers as a hobby. It looks like he hasn’t done any in years...

A Falling Down Bug

Warhammer Online is a relatively newer game with (shocking!) relatively few bugs. Here is a short video though showing one of the funnier ones.
