http://www.curmudgeongamer.com/2010/11/two-knock-down-drag-out-freeciv-replay.html
Curmudgeoning all games equally. Two knock-down, drag-out FreeCiv replay maps. Ah, there was never anything quite as rewarding as watching a Civ reply map after you'd won. Just ran into these two, the second from The Huffington Post. There used to be a YouTube video here:. Http:/ www.youtube.com/v/DrZvn1qckIs? Here's a link to the video on their site. And here's a very hastily constructed picture to tide you over. Comments on this post:. Second one got taken down, unfortunately. At 24 November, 2010 22:12.

Curmudgeoning all games equally. Platform Shootout: Sega Saturn Quake vs. Quake 64. Like a lot of geeks my age, id Software. The first image below is the N64 menu screen. The other three images are from the Saturn. In this shot, the N64 is actually looking pretty well. Then, when you compare to the Saturn version you notice that the Saturn version actually seems to have better. Texture quality. It may not be smoothed, as the N64 is able to do, but it definitely has less of that same-texture-tiled-wil...

Curmudgeoning all games equally. The ASUS XG Station Finally Arrives! But, um, it's Sony, not Asus, that delivers. I've been posting about the ASUS XG station. Anyhow, remember when I said that since we have MacBooks with "Thunderbolt" - Can I get my Asus XG Station now? The notebook itself only contains an Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU, while the external dock contains an AMD Radeon HD 6650M with 1GB of Video RAM. Comments on this post:. To front page ➠.

Curmudgeon Gamer: Madden 12 for PS2 "Review" -- First Impressions
http://www.curmudgeongamer.com/2011/08/madden-12-for-ps2-first-impressions.html
Curmudgeoning all games equally. Madden 12 for PS2 "Review" - First Impressions. It's been nearly impossible to learn anything about Madden 12 on the PS2 other than it was going to be released and would cost $49.99. I mean, heck, ps2.ign.com had nothing on it, no preview, nothing. Most 'coverage' you did find was links to current gen console stuff, and the Wii hasn't been getting much press either. Copy of Madden 12 PS2 in hand, I believe I now know why. Oh, and 2005 had online gameplay, didn't it? So yo...

Curmudgeon Gamer: Finally game on your laptop
http://www.curmudgeongamer.com/2007/01/finally-game-on-your-laptop.html
Curmudgeoning all games equally. Finally game on your laptop. So Engadget reports that ASUS has stolen my idea. Nevermind that anyone with a laptop and a copy of Doom 3 has probably thought the same thing. It looks neat. For some reason I always envisioned doing it through a fast ethernet port, but this more intelligently uses. Still, a pretty neat device. I hope it does well. Updatex2: Even better, Tech Digest. Says it's essentially adding a standard external PCI-E slot to your laptop. To be fair, a lot...

Curmudgeon Gamer: No Wii Madden 11 Reviews?
http://www.curmudgeongamer.com/2010/08/no-wii-madden-11-reviews.html
Curmudgeoning all games equally. No Wii Madden 11 Reviews? Why can't I find a review of Madden 11 for the Wii? And, on the other hand, why can. I find a review for HoopWorld. Whatever that is, with nearly top billing when I check out Wii at IGN? Nothing at their PS2 site on Madden either. What gives? Comments on this post:. Its a niche. Fill it. :). At 11 August, 2010 13:00. Tending towards PS2 this year. No PC versions anymore. Good times. At 11 August, 2010 13:34. To front page ➠.

Curmudgeoning all games equally. Devil May Cry finished. I forgot to mention, since I'm catching up on old gaming stuff, that I finally finished Devil May Cry. I'll try to put down some thoughts on how it turned out, for me, next time I'm on. Handle on the fighting interface, this game can be enjoyable. Matt Matthews at 01:12.

Curmudgeoning all games equally. JohnH's finished games for 2013. Yaawn, is the blog waking up again? Jvm posted his games finished, I suppose I should do the same. Unfortunately I've played rather little this year, despite (because of? Getting a Wii U. But I have played and completed (or at least played significant amounts of) these:. Spelunky HD. I have played a good deal of this, indeed it's one of the few games I can stand playing right now. It gets so many things just right. The game of Pac-Man....

Curmudgeoning all games equally. Jvm's finished games for 2013. Well, been a long time since I've been here. Sorry for being away, not that you cared. I was thinking about what I'd played and finished this year, and wanted to write it all down. Boom:. Bioshock 2 (PS3) - Had this at release, couldn't finish it. Picked it back up late in 2012 and finished it in January, right before Bioshock Infinite. Definitely the best Bioshock game. Plants vs. Zombies (PSV) - I played this to completion before, but ...

Curmudgeoning all games equally. MacBooks with "Thunderbolt" - Can I get my Asus XG Station now? From Apple's propaganda page about "Thunderbolt". Performance and expansion never seen on a notebook before. So, I can finally stop waiting. On the Asus XG Station. If this isn't enough throughput, I don't know when we're going to get it.
