Think edgy Six Million Dollar Man and you’ll get Adam Jensen, the protagonist in Deus Ex: Human Revolution by Square Enix. He’s fashionable, dark, gravelly-voiced, a little dangerous, very capable, part man, part machine, and he’s got a cool beard. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is sexy cyberpunk, which is kind of a tautology, because to be cyberpunk, it must be sexy.…
Board shorts, washboard abs, men up all night and hungry for flesh and an island paradise are what make Dead Island a riveting play (you thought I was talking about a West Hollywood pool party, didn’t you?). Banoi has white sand beaches, four-star accommodations and a zombie infection. You are one of the few somehow immune to the whole mess, so, of course, survivors…
It’s like shoving rainbows and bear cubs into your eyeholes, if doing that sort of thing were something one would enjoy doing. Penny Arcade Expo, or PAX, as it is known to the video game set, takes place at the end of August in green and crunchy Seattle. PAX is soaked in video games, geeks and various (and usually inflatable) swag. In short, it’s nirvana for gamers.…
The fallen angels in El Shaddai: The Ascension of the Metatron have corrupted Earth, and God wants to flood the place to clean it up a little. Enoch is given a chance to save the planet and its inhabitants by recovering the angels, which requires a bunch of fighting, lots of running and a good amount of jumping. And Lucifel, your probable boyfriend, follows you around…
Outside there is sun, and it is hot and burny. I can see nature through my window, but I’m going to stay here where it is comfortable and there are snacks. I’m parched for a refreshing beverage, and I’m stuck in the gaming desert where new games are sparse and lame. Scary how I can read your mind, isn’t it? Have no fear; I am here to help with some…
I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts, mainly because listening to other people’s podcasts makes me feel guilty and inadequate for not doing more of my own. But one podcast that I do listen to (and covet to an unhealthy degree) is produced by Daniel, Dean and Dan, also known as…the Silly Frags! A trio of gaymers representing an impressive collective knowledge…
I’m very pleased to introduce you to the latest member of Team FBOTU. Longtime site member Jason (formerly known as Rolltideguy77) is a charming and dashing Southerner and fanboy. He admits to a severe fetish for men who look like Clark Kent (and he doesn’t look so bad in a Superman suit himself). His favorite heroes are Spider-Man and Superman, and his dream…
I always get a little depressed just after the holidays, mainly because I’d like every day to be like a K-Mart Christmas commercial from 1980. Or this. Instead, the warm glow of the holidays is quickly replaced by a world where everything is hard and bright and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch. January sucks and no amount of expired egg nog is going…
Oh. My. Gods. This looks super cool. Considering I haven’t even made it to The Burning Crusade yet, I probably won’t reach Cataclysm for another 10-15 years. Of course, I could just stay home and play WoW between now and the December 7 release date. Also an option. Thanks to September FBOTM Hadrian for the link.
They said it couldn’t be done. They doubted my resolve. My skills. And especially my wardrobe. But I did it. After 18 months of play and over $250 in subscription fees, I have reached Level 50 in World of Warcraft. Look, here’s my heroic warrior stud now. He looks very happy, doesn’t he? Since this is a momentous occasion, I should like to take a moment…
I met a handsome fellow at a convention recently and instead of falling back on the tired old “do you come here often” sort of conversation starter, I brought up World of Warcraft. Yes, that’s how I roll. And it worked, because he immediately asked me my class and level. “Warrior, 45,” I replied as ruggedly as possible. Thank the fates I told…
It’s killing me that I missed this. My hunky warrior toon would have been a perfect addition to Proudmoore Pride 2009, an in-game pride festival held on June 20 for gay and gay-friendly fans of World of Warcraft. I had the perfect little outfit he could have worn, too. Grrrr. I’ll know better next year and will get it on my calendar sooner. For anyone else…
I just don’t know if I’m ready for this. Maybe it’s because I’m kind of lazy. I don’t have the desire to be fully immersed in a video game. I like swiping at Stormtroopers with my lightsaber from a safe distance, preferable on my couch. But Xbox 360’s Project Natal would have me jumping around and waving my arms like a crazy person,…
I…um…yeah. Must have it. Muscle Koushinkyoku (Muscle March) is coming May 26 to Wii for 800 Wii points.
World of Warcraft’s Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Guest Review by London, the sexiest WoW babe in all of Azeroth With the release of Blizzard’s new World of Warcraft expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King, they’ve increased the level cap to 80, and given you a whole new continent to do it in. Northrend is now the place to be with 10 new zones, two of which…
I’ve been so swept up in my World of Warcraft questing that it’s easy to forget the old days, before MMORPGs, back when you had to use your…what was it…hold on, let me look it up on Google—imagination! You had to use your imagination and a couple of dice and maybe some graph paper. I had pretty much forgotten my foray into the world of Dungeons…
