Sexy win. Kinect fail.
Microsoft always has a challenge when it tries to demo a new product in public. Give the company credit, though. They do learn. This time rather than a boring suit to demo the product they had a pair of sexy girls so we could be distracted if the motion sensor suddenly stopped working during a […]
First DLC for Alan Wake: The Signal
Remedy Games have every reason to be pleased with Alan Wake. It looks so good. Okay; I’ve not bought it… but that’s only because I’m forcing myself to play through Final Fantasy XIII. It feels more like a “not bought it yet”. A sign that a game is doing well is that the DLC starts […]

There is certainly a model called Tahiticora and she certainly seems to make an asset out of her ass. She’s also on Twitter. As well as publishing this video […]
DnD 4e played on Microsoft’s Surface. The future today.
