The Beauty of Human Error, Committed by a Computer Umpire
It’s the bottom of the fourth and that SOB Dallas Hodges is squeezing the zone low and away, again. Strike three went by like a freight train and Hodges just stared at it like a cow. This ump’s a disgrace. This ump also isn’t even real. He’s one of 10 in MLB 10: The Show,…

MotorStorm 3 Goes Post-Apocalyptic?
The French site PS3Gen claims to have gotten its hands on “stolen” images of MotorStorm 3, purporting to show the PS3-exclusive racer set in a San Francisco of collapsed buildings and raging fires.

The Week in Review: Promise Keepers
The weeks before E3 see lots of speculation about what it will take for one of the big three to “win” this year’s gathering. Stephen Totilo instead recounted the promises of last year’s showing, to remind everyone someone’s keeping score.

UncategorizedParalyzed Gamer Soldiers On in Modern Warfare 2
Iain Hanson, a 19-year-old from Scotland, broke his neck in a bouncy castle amusement four years ago, losing all function in his fingers. Still he plays Modern Warfare2 on the PS3 – better than I can, for sure. Iain (his account on Twitter) writes that he broke his neck when he was 15, but the…
