It’s been over a month since the last post and over two and a half months since anyone other than me has posted. Normally, this is the time of year when EMB gets the most action with our annual Winter Games. Is this the end of eatmybomb.com? (Read on …)
I’ve had the worst cold of my life for the last 4 weeks. Being too sick to do much of anything, I was all but forced to finish Act V of Diablo 2. Here’s how it went:
“You know it’s gonna be a long, long time”
Episode 2 is in the books. I’ll have more screenshots another time. For now, I’m taking a gaming sabbatical until Spring so I can work on some recording projects. I’ll still see some of you once a week for some multiplayer action, but now that I’ve tied up my loose ends it’s time to close the gaming cabinet for a while.
Yar! It is I, the dread pirate Dondongo Sweetcheeks!
Many of us have been playing the shit out of Pirates of the Caribbean Online. Some of us who live on the east coast have been losing considerable amounts of sleep. I for one, may be sleeping more soundly soon.
As a prelude to what you’re about to hear, you should know that I am swearing at the top of my lungs and waving my arms wildly.
Spoliers and intense swearing ahead. Be warned.

If you haven’t seen Discovery Channel’s “Rise of the Video Game” series, you’ll want to catch part 5 of 5 on tonight (Wednesday) at 8pm CST. I’ve seen parts 1-3, and have part 4 waiting for me on the DVR. So far it’s covered the beginning of electronic gaming (part 1 was a treat) and the harsh gaming business. It’s also talked about the cultural significance of the games, including how some major events in history (such as the Cold War) factored into game creation–and how games can also change war itself.
If you’ve missed parts 1-4, don’t fret. I’m sure Discovery will re-run the series. Or you could fire up bittorrent, but you didn’t hear that from me.
Edit: Oops, I meant 7pm CST. Bah. If you missed it, it’ll be on again later tonight and later in the week.
