Press tour update – so far so good. Aside from the moment where someone (not sure if it was the French or the British) lost my luggage for three days, the tour has been going great. This was my first time to visit Paris, and even though I was mostly a “taxi-cab tourist”, the city…

Leaving tonight on a midnight flight from Hong Kong to Paris. Looks like I’ll be spending the 4th of July amongst those wussy, traitorous Frenchies. Man did we ever show them, running off to Iraq and kicking some major terrorist ass. I’ll be sure to rub their faces in how NOT bogged-down, costly, and pointless…

One of the things I like about Google News is that I can register topics which I’m interested in and get personalized news related to these topics delivered to my inbox each day. I enjoy watching the trends in reporting and comparing perceived importance of “threats” as reported in the news. For instance, it’s always…

I’ve asked this question before, I’ll ask it again: does anyone have proof of an instance where a video game was actually linked to a murder?

It is my belief that these things are destroying the moral fabric of our world and must be banned from existence if we expect to…

In celebration of 6-6-6 day I thought I’d make mention of several new apocolyptic Bad Day LA videos which can be downloaded here. The one titled “Traffic” shows the cataclysmic opening scene from the game. “Subway” and “Hospital” are also pre-rendered cinematics from later in the game. These videos serve to tie together the action…

So it turns out that last week’s news report on Islamists using US video games to recruit and train new terrorists was complete bunk. The supposed recruiting tool was in fact a video made by a US game player using existing voice over from the movie “Team America – World Police”, among other things. The…

No. Really. At this very moment, terrorists all over the world, are modifying video games into murder training simulators, and conditioning themselves to attack you. Islamists using US video games in youth appeal SAIC executive Eric Michael said researchers suspect Islamic militants are using video games to train recruits and condition youth to attack U.S.-led…
