Jay Barnson on anti-videogame legislation:
Note to baby-boomers: You guys had Woodstock — we have Mario. Get over it. It’s a different world now.
What he said.
I’ll take Lara Croft over Janice Joplin any day. (And I don’t even LIKE Tomb Raider.)

C++ is a wonderful language for making horrible code.
Overused Words in Game Titles
I scoured the Steam database to figure out what words were the most commonly used in game titles.
Push the Button!
Scenes from Half-Life 2:Episode 2, showing Gordon Freeman being a jerk.
Raytracing
Raytracing is coming. Slowly. Eventually. What is it and what will it mean for game development?
Dead Island
A stream-of-gameplay review of Dead Island. This game is a cavalcade of bugs and bad design choices.
Well I can see his point. Janice Joplin can scare even the manliest of men.
On the other hand, I really do treasure her recording of “Oh, Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?”
Doesn’t she spell it Janis? Or was that just a “70’s thing?” Stupid music radicals, don’t even know how to spell their own names… Oh well, misspelled names are better than what we got in the 90’s:
“The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.”
She doesn’t spell it any way at all anymore; she died of a heroin overdose before you were born.
I may be ignorant of no-talent musicians (for reasons I won’t go into now, I’m much more familiar with Motown during that era), but 1970 was well after I was born. Since I was thinking she was still active a few years ago, I probably had her mixed up with Joan Baez.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend,
Do it in the name of heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
But on the bloody morning after….
One tin soldier rides away.
And that’s memory, not Google. Just don’t ask me what I had for dinner last Wednesday…no idea.
I utterly, utterly loathed “One Tin Soldier.” Thanks for dredging up the memory. That wasn’t Joan Baez, though, but some abomination called “Coven.” (Baez might well have covered it; it’s stridently preachy enough to appeal to a certain kind of flake.)
What amuses me most of this post is that you didn’t even spell “Lara Croft” right. Shows just how much you care about it. xD
Spelling error fixed.
Shamus I come from the future to let you know that you do end up liking Tomb Raider! Spooky fade out.
