I can has real ending plz?

Posted on March 29, 2008 by baudattitude

OK, OK, it could have been much worse. The cliffhanger at the end of Half Life 2 wasn’t as bad of an ending as, say, Halo 2, and it probably won’t be TOO long until they get Episode 3 out … Continue reading →

The Maid Uniform and Machinegun

Posted on March 20, 2008 by baudattitude

I usually try to come up with clever post titles, but how on earth do I out-clever a game title like that? Anyway: The Maid Uniform and Machinegun, #105 in the “Simple 2000” series. Do I NEED to say this … Continue reading →

Dumb luck.

Posted on March 19, 2008 by baudattitude

So, I’ve been looking for Planescape: Torment for a while now. This is the Infinity Engine RPG that always seems to come up when people start talking about Really Good RPGs.  It’s got enough of a Reputation that I’m willing … Continue reading →
