It's always going to be the same. One party points to the other that is pointing back at them. It's like the only truth about politics is that no matter what we choose we still get dumped on.

what i want to know is ... can you play as a hooker? we had one hell of a conversation about that a while back and still know nothing. but it would be cool to play as a hooker ... great unlockable.

hmmm ... that would add new meaning to that "m" rating.

i am not understanding why more people aren't into online console gaming. most of the games have built-in voice options and you don't have to worry about upgrading and setting up video cards and voice servers and ram requirements. you just turn the game on and go.

xbox live is a wonderful service. although, i would have to say you do get quite a lot of dregs when you play with strangers. make a friends list and keep them close.

ps2 ... i have only played ffxi with this and i have been loving it (i prefer the ps2 verison to the pc version ... see below). still play it at times. no voice though and i hate using a keyboard for talking. i want to play outbreak online ... but the communication for that is horrible. i hear socom is awesome.

pc online ... its fun. when you have your pc tuned to perfection and tweaked for goodness it is fun. but you are sitting in front of a computer which, to me, is a tool of work more than one of play. and i can't seem to get past that. ffxi is great multiplayer on the pc ... but it is still on the pc and played in the work position. i can't have that.

i am wondering if flash games count as indie games? they take quite a while to write, and every now and then you get people like shawn mcgough putting out quality product, such as shawn's dance grooves and melting mitsubishi (a revenge on mitsubishi game).

also, there is a movie called fungicide (trailer) by troubled moon films that would make a great game. when you watch it you feel like you are playing a video game without a controller. it's pretty awesome.

Think about it: The GameCube is the one platform that is mostly geared towards children. It seems no one wants to make games for it anymore which would lead me to believe that children are playing adult games. Or that adults are the majority of video gamers. I wonder what the demographics are for something like this?

Personally, I really like the system. Serious Sam: The Next Encounter will be released for it soon and I will be all over that!

Hey, this could be cool as hell. Let me know when you are ready for beta testers. Todays games, like Final Fantasy XI, are really great ... but the imagination thing can be so much more powerful. Kind of like the old text bases games like Wishbringer. That was awesome!

I hope this thing is as good as the Philly Classic this year. That was a blast.

This new thing sounds like it could be as good as Philly Classic and E3 combined. How may of you are going? I will be there for sure!

Dude, Fungicide is the coolest! Director Dave Wascavage from Troubled Moon Films is a riot ... really great guy. He helped me out with my booth (serious fix) ... and we had a blast.

I can't wait till TMF releases Suburban Sasquatch! Hell, I am in it! There should be a premiere in Philly sometime in April. Email Dave for more information.

The following games are the greatest: Serious Sam, if you like being scared Fatal Frame, if you love hockey NHL Hitz, and if you love to blow away Nazis with tons of weapons Return To Caslte Wolfenstein. Check all of those games out ... those are serious reviews. Oh, yea ... if you love being addicted to a game and not really knowing why ... check out Phantasy Star Online (I call it Phantasy Krack Online). There you go ... a serious fix round-up of serious games for the XBOX. And they all totally own!

If you want to play some great Flash games online check out Shawn's Dance Grooves (online, live dance game ... free) and Melting Mitsubishi (if you liked Missile Command ... you are going to love Melting Mitsubishi). And they are totally free!

Hope that helps.

I recently interviewed an online game maker (interview with Sean McGough ... creater of Shawn's Dance Grooves and Melting Mitsubishi) and it sounds like its a pretty fun job. A lot of work ... but once you get something that works ... he says it's a lot of fun. Especially trying to figure things out. Plus his games, Shawn's Dance Grooves (online dancing game) and Melting Mitsubishi (if you liked Missile Command ... you will love Melting Mitsubishi), are a ton of fun.

Check this out: Bush versus Saddam

In a bad humor kind of vein: Bush vs. Saddam

Zero Wing once again.

I just want the war to be end.

I think this would be great if there were a lot more games like this online. I really, really want to see DOOM online with multiplayer. I know the Infocom games are available online which was posted at serious fix. This, I thought was really cool.

If anyone finds the DOOM online game ... please let us know.
