Achievment unlocked: 400,000 Review Hits.
May 20, 2010

Current number is at 400,574. Which is a pretty nice number. Perh0pas adding a slew of new obscure XBLI games will help the number slowly chug away until Masters catches back up. At least, if he wasn't a complete slacker.

XCOMing
April 15, 2010

My thoughts on the next XCOM. Most of you might want to skip to the next paragraph

Obviously, I’m not overly optimistic. I’m not sure how 2K are going to be able to turn what’s probably still the defining TBS into what’s probably going to be a new reworking of the Bioshock engine. I’m not going to write the game off so early though; that would be dumb. The guys bought the license because they think as highly of the original games as me, and that makes me think that they don’t just want to milk it for what its worth. Anyway, even if it does suck, it’s not going to diminish my enjoyment of my favourite game. XCOM Enforcer was god awful, but it did me no harm.

What you all probably wanted to hear:

Where's EmP?
March 11, 2010

I'm sorry I've not been around to try and bully the judges through the tourney quicker. This absensce is going to have to continue for a while while I stop doing almost everything else in my life right now to focus on my health. I should have done so years ago.

I'll be back with new things to complain about at an undisclosed date.

EmP Hates: Vol. 1
March 05, 2010

For three years now, I’ve had this idea in the back of my deliciously inky-black mind that I wanted to do a weekly mini-rant on things I hate. I hate many things, I’m often told, so the source material should be inexhaustible. However THE PLAN often has this one flaw in it; I want to do it so that I get a new one every week and because something always happens at the start of the year, the process is cracked, and I wait for the next cycle to start.

NO MORE! I’m not writing at the pace nor levels that I have been for at least a decade, and so this excuse will hold no water. I have shot the excuse full of holes -- using manly mind bullets, and now excuse is leaking all over my track shoes.

I WILL have 52 of these up by 2011. Mark my words -- for I am EmP.
