    E3 Preview: Grateful Undead in San Francisco

    By Posted on 5.15.2008 2 Comments

    I arrived yesterday in San Francisco, a city where my evening's entertainment has often taken a turn for the unusual. I certainly wasn't disappointed on this trip, as I joined three friends on a stroll through devastated buildings and wasted streets, blasting hordes of aggressive subhuman attackers into chunks of lifeless meat. Hey, if the local government won't do something about the aggressive panhandler problem in this city….

    Um, I'm pretty sure Left 4 Dead is made by Turtle Rock Studios (part of Valve) and just the physical copies are distributed by EA. (I say physical because a lot of Valve's sales are online through STEAM.) But Valve's the company who brought us Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and many other innovative and famous PC titles and so it's not surprising that their Left 4 Dead "stands above the rest"

    The World's Spookiest Weapons

    By Posted on 5.14.2008 20 Comments

    Atom bombs are just the beginning. In the last half-century, the greatest military minds on Earth have developed an arsenal of weapons to make mutually assured destruction seem tame. Whether these masterpieces of destruction come from miles above Earth or millimeters below the skin, they have one thing in common: they're spooky as hell.

    Some of these are downright terrifying, whilst some are even funny (dolphins with darts) Anyways @wrieken, kill a few hundred thousand at most? There's 8 million people in New York City. If an atomic bomb or Rod of God (Anyone else find that name somewhat funny?) hit NYC, the death toll would most definitely be above a couple hundred thousand. And yeah, I wouldn't even mind dying by a Rod of God..I could be like yeah, I just couldn't take God's Rod....xD
