GTA IV Movie Making Madness

Grand Theft Auto IV is coming out on the PC in early December, but in the mean time they've given gamers a sneak peek at the game's video editor feature.

Players will be able to use in-game footage, edit them (including effects and music) and then export them to .wmv files.  As if that wasn't enough, they have a website in place to host user-created movies so that gamers can share their masterpieces with the world.  Kudos Rockstar!

Commodore War

My first PC was a Commodore Vic-20.  It had the little tape-deck drive, and I had a blast playing games and tweaking the programs in basic.  You can imagine my delight when I found out that Commodore makes high-end gaming PCs - I had no idea!  Now they are offering PCs with Intel's spankin' new i7 processor.  I just might have to invest in one of these, just for old-time's sake.

Desktop Tower Defense

The guys responsible for Desktop Tower Defense (and for taking a ton of my free time) have formed The Casual Collective.  Along with their shiny new site, they have upgraded Desktop Tower Defense to version 1.9, including a new look and...wait for it...MULTIPLAYER!  So many games...so little time...

 

 

World at War Mod Pack

I think modding is a huge feather in PC gaming's cap.  The fact that there's a huge community of dedicated modders out there churning out all sorts of original content, just to keep our games fresh - that's pretty awesome.  Treyarch released modding tools this week for their recently released Call of Duty: World at War.  If you're ambitious enough, download the tools and get modding!

Chuck Norris Invades Fallout 3

I think the Chuck Norris fad was pretty inexplicable, but I had to chuckle (a-thankyou) at this one:

Have a great weekend!

Good day, Mr. Miller,

Happy to see your new gig - good geeks always land on their feet. Will I ever get to see you at JCI? Let me know, and I'll come with bells on.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey John! Hope WOTC's treating you well. I'm loving the new job (who wouldn't!)

I'm not in any shows coming up, but I've been taking a break. I'll be back in December.
