Quick update. It’s no secret that Steam is the most successful digital distribution network for the PC. Since the launch of Half-Life 2, Steam has done wonders in the field of digital distribution. Digital distribution should be the way of the future: you are no longer tied to a physical medium, updates are pushed by …

Mad World
A quick bite. You probably know this song very well. It’s “Mad World” by Gary Jules. I was just watching a trailer for “The Crazies” that used this song as theme. For me, this song is linked to the awesome “Gears of War” game. I can watch this for a while…
Ubisoft Must Be Getting Desperate
Issue: Stupid Ubisoft DRM Scheme Are your sales low? Fearing bankruptcy? Games not selling well? NO? Then WTF ? Just feel like punishing those who still play PC games and send them to a console ? You lost big respect points on this one, Ubi. And I don’t think you are going to make all …
Spaced
The game everybody is talking about this year is, well, Mass Effect 2. I loved the first Mass Effect but I admit I didn’t get much from the DLC which they offered after registering your game with a Bioware account. But DLC has come a long way since the first Mass Effect. For me, the …
The Departed
We keep in our minds many people who, in different ways, have left our lives either through the front door, maybe storming out, or silently, they just slipped away. They have left us willingly or we have forced them out. Some have left us unwillingly, by dying. This is the hard truth. We are not …
Target Me
Hello. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t feel special at all in the vast and somewhat uncontrollable mass that is the Internet. However… I use a small router with OpenWrt as a home gateway and for a while now I have been seeing in my logs that I receive ssh login attempts from all over …
Thank You, J.K. Rowling
I came across a wonderful speech by J.K. Rowling today. I cannot help admiring her. According to the Forbes magazine she is the only person to become a billionaire in dollars from writing books. We need more people like her (and not because she’s rich and stuff). What can I say, I am impressed. J.K. …
/Played
After a nice 10 month absence from the World of Warcraft universe I reactivated my account in December 2009 on a whim. Of course, I got a bit hooked over the holidays (maybe a little more) and brought my druid from level 44 to 60 in a week or so. As /played reports, it seems …
The Last Days
I am not a pre-order kind of person. I have never pre-ordered anything…until now. It seems I got caught up in the hype for a game called Darksiders. No, it is not the greatest game ever but somehow I couldn’t help clicking that pre-order button. Oh, well. Things however look good as game publications everywhere …
Antivirus Protection And You
Happy New Year everyone! It’s time to give up the dreams of a prolonged vacation and get cracking. I was thinking the other day that a lot of people overestimate the importance of an anti-virus program(let’s call it AV for short). Don’t get me wrong, security is extremely important, for many reasons, no matter who …
