If you play R63, and my friends list is full of people that do, you might be interested in this tournament they're having. Looks like 2v2 Team Survival, and it starts this Friday.

I was so consumed with Child's Play and personal holiday garbage that I neglected to thank our sponsors, which were kind enough to pay my rent. Could you stop by these links today? None of them are stupid, in fact, they're all pretty good.

And now, the winners of the We're Right Awards.

I just don't have the mechanisms to interface with normal people, and every family visit just emphasizes the fact. I just referred to my mother-in-law as "The beast spoken of in Revelations." This stuff just comes out, and I don't know how to get it back in.

With seventy five years of history, the We're Right Awards is the definitive ceremony of its kind. Let's look in.

I don't know why it isn't working, I uploaded it, no matter what that stupid server says. Here's a direct link to the file, I'll have to screw around with it when I get back from the toy thing.

Anyone wondering whether we're right or not will be silenced forever by the 75th Annual We're Right Awards. The games that made the most profound impressions on us will be paraded before you, barring a few anomalies like Crystal Chronicles which hasn't had a domestic release. Without further ado...

BLUE SPARKS!

Check out the awesome Christmas present Lesley made for her boyfriend Dave!

1. You guys are incredible!

Yes.

I think he meant "now available".

The fourth page is not available for your persual and (potential) enjoyment.

That I am routinely made to suffer at the hands of Brenna and her college friends will hopefully provide some amusement for you. The facts of the case are quite accurate, I'm afraid. Also, apparently I said that she liked Samwise Gamgee when she actually likes Boromir, the eldest son of Steward Denethor II. I really can't be blamed for not keeping abreast of the fluctuations in her fictional man-harem.

I don't know anything about GameDreamz or their magical sources, who may or may not be hamlet of loquacious munchkins. It's quite possible that they're just repeating what they heard, and aren't a bunch of fucking liars after all - I'm just sensitive about my Shenmue, I suppose. I'm not sure why, as it is a game where you must literally get a job, and learn not to spend all your money of toys and videogames. It produces a genuinely profound mental state, with its rows of ironies which hum like subterranean machinery.

A long while ago, almost a year to the day in fact, I discussed what a danger I felt The Sims Online could become given geeky predilections for romantic drama. As it turns out, strange things do happen there - and my original assessment, submitting to you that perhaps a boy and a girl would meet and like each other, turns out to have been on the tame side.
