I plan on spending this weekend pretty much like last weekend, so posting may be light, or (more likely) inclohernet. So, if you see something here that looks like I typed it with my face, that’s why.
The Death of Half-Life

Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
The Game That Ruined Me

Be careful what you learn with your muscle-memory, because it will be very hard to un-learn it.
Mass Effect Retrospective

A novel-sized analysis of the Mass Effect series that explains where it all went wrong. Spoiler: It was long before the ending.
PC Gaming Golden Age

It's not a legend. It was real. There was a time before DLC. Before DRM. Before crappy ports. It was glorious.
Best. Plot Twist. Ever.

Few people remember BioWare's Jade Empire, but it had a unique setting and a really well-executed plot twist.
This is exactly the kind of thing that “World of Narue” is for: light fluff that’s enjoyable to watch but which won’t challenge you too seriously.
Just do what you have to do and get better.
Best wishes,

I hope it helped you. How are you feeling today?
Thanks for asking. I hate to indulge in any more bellyaching, as everyone has been pretty patient already. Things did not go my way this weekend (which explains the gap in posting) but at least I’m better off than Ben Roethlisberger.
