I’m currently using the awesome Duck Hunt desktop.

Debut article. Easy subject matter. Stuff about great free PC games that aren’t Cave Story. I’ve been awake for 36 hours straight.

Let’s do this.

Ragdoll Masters is a sort of freeform, floaty fighting game. You and your opponent(s) are a white stick figure and black stick figure(s), stuck in a square room with no gravity. To win, whack your opponent until they explode in a shower of dots. Not one for graphics or a premise, this. The (only) focus is on the battling, which is a real winner thanks to the brilliant physics engine.

Unfortunately, I can’t be arsed to explain any of it. Just watch this to get the basic idea, then go here to download it. That will be all.

Well, anyone who has any interest at all in World of Warcraft will know that it is getting its latest major content patch this week after weekly maintenance.

This has been highly anticipated, the last two major patches to be added into the game, shockingly 2.1 and 2.2, were major disappointments. Voice Chat added in 2.2 is almost completely useless, since any guild who wants to use VC just uses Vent anyway and several months since its introduction into the game in patch 2.1, the Black Temple has remained mostly untouched by most realms. It is not uncommon for realms to only have two guilds progressing as far as MH/BT. This shows Blizzards major failure in relation to end-game content that was seen preBC(Burning Crusade, WoW’s first expansion for those of you not in the know), in which only a handful of hardcore raiding guilds will ever see the “real” end-game. Very few guilds hit Naxxramas(And many that did never saw past the first five bosses) and even fewer have seen BT. This is like a master painter spending years on his masterpiece and then only letting 1 in 25 people who want, in to see it.

Just doesn’t look right, does it? Valve has released this image of the new Weighted Companion Cube plushie and set of fuzzy dice, but has caused mass dissapointment within the community about it’s less than cubic nature.

If you ask me, what we really need is a weighted companion cube Mini-Fridge.

The Battle for Wesnoth is a free turn based strategy game with simplistic graphics and minimalistic rules. Read more

So as you don’t know/care. I had dissembled my desk because it was shit. So now I shall try to rebuild my desk into a “racing cockpit” for my pleasure of racing in Simulators. This shall consist of my old desk, wet 2×4s, and nails.

Sam and Max are back! Again! Thus showing that it’s possible to churn out quality gaming on a regular basis, unlike, say, that other supposedly episodic series that recently only achieved Episode 2 in the time it’s taken for Telltale to get their seventh game out. Gamers who have played any of the first season will know exactly what they’re dealing with, apart from a few new features and changes, whilst the rest of you are lazy gits, seeing as Telltale are offering one of the best episodes of the first Season ‘Abe Lincoln must Die’ completely free at the moment. Well, why are you still reading this? Go! Download! Play! It’s funnier than the rest of this review, I thoroughly assure you!
