In the demo watch an Old Lady. In the full version she may die.

The Graveyard is a somewhat misunderstood game.  Anyone looking for something that would be fun at a party, look elsewhere. Anyone who doesn’t like the idea of games as art, this won’t change your mind.

This is an interactive medium to show the story of this old lady’s visit to a local graveyard. In black and white. Available for free, today only. PC and Mac.

Best played pretending you are standing at a kiosk in an art museum.

Halo Waypoint is meta-achievements, Avatar Awards, and News

If you follow Halo, you probably know about the upcoming Halo Waypoint channel coming to Xbox Live.  It functions very similarly to the Netflix, Facebook, and Twitter channels; it is an extra box on the interface that you download and launch.

Halo Waypoint will be available to all gold memebers (and for a limited time available to silver members).  It is otherwise free and currently in beta testing.  If you are apart of the Dashboard Preview beta (Facebook, Twitter, Last.FM), then you now have Halo Waypoint, too.

Halo Waypoint is a News channel with videos, which is handy but also kind of lame.  But, as a bonus, it is also a meta-game itself.

I finally beat: The Secret of Monkey Island

monkey_island

Hello audience.

I’m a gamer. And I hadn’t beaten The Secret of Monkey Island.

That is, until it was released as a special edition on the PC, XBLA, and the iPhone. I picked it up for the xbox (because I’m an achievement whore), and I had not beaten one of the classics in both adventuring gaming, and gaming as a whole.

L4D2 leaked trailer. F* Yes!

The trailer is poorly directed and piece-mealed together.  Especially when compared to the original trailer for the first game.  Still, I think I’ll loop it a few times. It looks like it’ll be amazing fun.

Is Verizon finally going on the offensive?

I was a loyal Verizon customer for years.  They always get the best ratings for network, customer service, and have the best Network Maps.  However, their phone selection has always been incredibly poor.  My Razr was one of the best phones they offered and it was locked down.  I couldn’t set a custom Ringtone unless I bought it through the Verizon Store, unlike other carrier’s Razrs.  I couldn’t run .jre apps, only the limited Verizon proprietary game store. I couldn’t customize any of the options other carriers let their Razrs change.  VERIZON WIRELESS was plastered over every screen.

AT&T is their main competitor and the only reason anyone goes with AT&T is the iPhone.  Their Cellular and Customer Service are generally ranked as either low or poor in comparison.  When my Verizon contract expired a year and a half ago, I wanted to stay with the Verizon network; I went to the store and asked: “What do you have that competes with the iPhone?”
