I didn’t know what The Escapist was before Zero Punctuation came into being. But now they’ve got Jason Rohrer, the author of Passage, writing a monthly column/game for them. If they hang onto these guys they’ll be the video game webzine that IGN never was.

Our competition is not so much other television shows as it is Guitar Hero.

NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman recently said that the cancellation of the Golden Globes (as a by-product of the writers’ strike) felt like “the nerdiest, ugliest, meanest kids in the high school are trying to cancel the prom.” So United Hollywood is staging a prom at NBC Studios next week. Formal dress and picket signs. I love sarcastic protests.

We would like to return to work with our writers. If we cannot, we would like to express our ambivalence, but without our writers we are unable to express something as nuanced as ambivalence.

Six months in the jungle with Sean Penn [filming Casualties of War] is tricky, but he’s a real talented guy. I sent him a note at the end of it saying, “I can’t say that it was a pleasure, but it was a privilege.”

This is perhaps the most gorgeous game I’ve ever played. More than half of the credit goes to stellar art direction; the game projected a 1980s EPCOT view of the distant future, complete and meticulous. It gave me chills. I’ve played through it once, but will have to postpone a second play-through because there are too many other excellent games in my queue.
I am so in love with this game that I don’t even mind how my bass pedal is ready to snap in half. I’ll avail myself of the RMA process eventually, but for now some duct tape and a couple pencils will do the trick.

I want the WGA to set up a website and on that website we can all post stories about every no-talent, idiotic, amoral producer and executive we have ever dealt with. Just like they do to us on shows like Extra and sites like TMZ (owned by Warner Brothers.) Set up a website and tell the entire world, via the internet, your own anecdote about some of the witless boobs you have endured in Hollywood and beyond. The strike will end in a week.

Just in case anybody needs instructions, contact the NCAA and its Division I-FCS, Division II and III football teams. They’ve had an actual playoff system for decades.

Their rookie kicker looked Kathy Ireland-level shaky in the preseason, although he’s definitely the best left-footed African-American kicker in NFL history.
