Onion AV Club To Cover Video Games

An anonymous reader writes "The Onion AV Club, the entertainment section of the satirical periodical The Onion, has expanded its coverage of movies, music and books to include reviews of video games. Also, they will host a game history column by Wil Wheaton: "Each week, [Wheaton] will take a look back to games past with his Games Of Our Lives column, reaching beyond Pac-Man and Donkey Kong to find the dusty arcade games and worn-out cartridges that paved the way for the games of today." The first expanded issue posted yesterday, featuring an interview with industry legends Will Wright (The Sims, SimCity) and Howard Scott Warshaw (Atari)."

Good ol Will Wheaton

Good ol Will Wheaton, the 2nd most unbearable character of "ST:TNG". We should have taken him as a warning sign: by the time of "Voyager", all of Star Trek would be full of unbearable characters.

The ad

Did anyone else get the BSA ad on the Onion AV article? It's unbelievably offensive:

"Parting gift idea for your old employer:

$150,000 fine for Unlicensed Software

Report software piracy NOW."

Yes, so because you were fired you should immediately start getting your employer in trouble. Even if they don't have pirated software, what the hell, report them to BSA. What an immoral organization.
