One of our readers - who would prefer to remain nameless - installs PC rigs for a living. He helped install this one, in a government office, then proceeded to do what anyone confronted by twenty-seven 67" HD monitors would do - he played a ton of BioShock and WoW on it. For reference, 27 panels equates to a display that's 40 feet wide and 15 feet high, with a desktop resolution of, oh, 12600 ...

Innovation, we want innovation! That's the clarion call every year, isn't it? Reviewers often levy harsh criticisms on sequels and expansions that don't sufficiently change the standards set by their predecessors, and games that seem too obviously to be imitating the successful mechanics of other titles can get dragged through the mud. World of Warcraft game director Jeff Kaplan has a different perspective, though. When we spoke to him today, he said, "I don't want ...

When it comes to keeping PC gamers in the loop on their console games, Capcom have long been one of the good guys. And how do PC gamers repay the favour?

This is downright odd. Just two days after word hit that Activision was taking inventory of future Sierra titles, including Ghostbusters The Video Game and Brutal Legend, and trying to decide which to publish and which to mothball, I received this in the mail.

Blizzard's team doesn't care for the term "killer app," used to describe a program or product — in this case, a certain MMO — that single-handedly shaped the market around its platform. In fact, when we asked about World of Warcraft's unshakable hold on the massively multiplayer biz, game director Jeffrey Kaplan was humble. "I don't believe that WoW is untouchable," he said. "I completely believe that a game could come out and be more ...

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Newspaper Man Offers Beer (Again!) They used to sell a subscription for a penny, but than the newspaper auditors said it couldn't be counted toward official circulation numbers (which are what ad rates are based on) so now they don't really do anything. Also, they're in a JOA with the Denver Post so it's all strange now. So I'll be going to Penny Arcade Expo this year. I decided to ...
