Nook Color Running Ice Cream Sandwich!
I had been meaning to do this since we got it for him, but I put a ‘real’ version of Android on my son’s Nook Color last night. After checking to see what was currently available for it, I decided to try Android 4.0 – ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’. I followed the instructions at NookDevs for…

GamesRadar’s 100 Best Games of All Time – OH REALLY
The folks at GamesRadar threw down their list of the top 100 games of all time, and while I’m not going to comment on every game (I haven’t played all of them), I’d like to point out what I think they got right and what they missed. 99. Ducktales – Excellent pull here, actually, as…

Diablo 3 Open Beta Weekend
I said on my forums that I might be more excited for Torchlight 2 than Diablo 3. Considering my reaction this morning to news of an open beta weekend for D3, I might have to adjust that a tiny bit. Heh. I’ve kept myself out of the loop as far as development goes, hoping that…

Book Preview – Redshirts
I’ve had some Scalzi on my to-read list at Goodreads for a while, but just hadn’t gotten to it. When I saw this pop up, though, I was thoroughly intrigued. As a Star Trek fan, the references to the Original Series are obvious and numerous – we’re just seeing it from the ‘redshirts’ side of…

Continuing Game Review: Dragon Age 2
Note: Continuing means I will revisit this as I get farther in. Of course I couldn’t avoid Dragon Age 2 for very long, considering how much I loved Dragon Age: Originsand all the related DLC/expansion content. So here I am, almost through with Kirkwall (pre-Deep Roads expedition), and enjoying it quite a bit. I’ll put the…

gROM on my LG Optimus S
I got tired of running out of room for apps on my phone, especially with some of the sweet games I wanted to play. So I figured I’d go for a custom ROM finally, that gets rid of the pre-loaded Sprint junk and otherwise just works fine. gROM fits that bill nicely, while adding some nice…

Dragon Age 3 Speculation, Part 2
Part 1 of this series looked at the story of Dragon Age 3, and what potential plot hooks are available for the next game in the series. Part 2, here, will deal with other aspects of the new game, such as technical or gameplay changes. Combat changed in feel quite a bit between the two…

Kinect Star Wars Suggestions
Kinect Star Wars was just released for the XBox360, and has drawn quite a bit of attention. Not all of it was good, as there was quite a bit of negative buzz yesterday for the Han Solo ‘dance party’ song “I’m Han Solo”. Complete with dancing Han rising up out of the carbonite chamber. A…

Trying Again – Mass Effect 2
I’ve had my troubles getting into the original Mass Effect, most specifically the inventory management interface being sucktactular, among other things. I read about the differences (which many didn’t like) between ME1 and ME2, and I decided these differences might actually make this a better game for me. So, I’m starting with Mass Effect 2. …

Dragon Age 3 Speculation, Part 1
So Dragon Age 3 is happening, while future content for DA2 is shelved. Bioware is looking for feedback on the future of the Dragon Age franchise, and the first thing I thought of is, where can the story go? There are a ton of plot hooks out there, and any number of them could make…

Vintage Gaming – Diablo
Ah, Diablo. A game that I came to quite late – after it’s own sequel came out. In case you are a young punk, or simply have lived under the gaming equivalent of a rock, Diablo tells the story of a town under assault by the forces of Hell itself. Unbeknownst to the towns folk,…

Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition – What We Know
The site is getting hammered, but here’s what’s been gleaned from various sources (most notably Trent Oster’s Twitter account) about the now-official Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition (BGEE): Both BG1 and BG2 will be getting the ‘Enhanced’ treatment – though what that is exactly hasn’t been laid out. Improved graphics, bug fixes, and Trent says it…
