If I told you that a team somewhere was working on a new way to display graphics with unlimited detail on even the most limited hardware, you’d think I was crazy. Right? Actually, wrong. This will blow your mind. Hit the jump and let’s commence the mind blowing.
…actually, it has been for eight days now. TAGJ’s very own form, The Astringent Gaming Community, is right here! Or you can just click “Forums” at the top of this very page! We have sections dedicated to BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, Monster Hunter, Starcraft, Starcraft II, Super Smash Brothers, Super Street Fighter IV, and Team Fortress 2 already.
Got a group or clan, but want more people to play with? Just start a thread!
If you play a game we don’t currently have support for, just ask for it!
We’re doing this so everyone can have more fun, so hop on over to the forum and get to posting! The community is small, but we’re all having a great time so far. We look forward to meeting you!
I’ve been wanting to write an article for some time now about why I have such enormous respect for Valve. It’s more the quality of their games. More than the fact that Steam is in my startup folder. Valve is recognizable as a force of good in the universe. So let’s discuss, shall we?
This is huge news for computer gaming! Over the last few years, quite an enormous number of people have made the transition over to Mac. I’m all about PC, but Mac is certainly a viable platform. That is, unless you’re a gamer. With the release of Portal 2, it looks like that dynamic will shift considerably. Read on for all the juicy details!

That’s right! Behind the scenes, slaving away, (but having the time of my life) there’s been me, playing the Starcraft II beta. This is my grand contribution to the 11,111th view celebration. I might even call it an extravasplosion. (crtl + f, extravasplosion)
I beseech you, everyone: hit the jump the read this post in its entirety, and check out both the post from Mr. Wirefly and the post from Mr. Origami. Let’s get started.

Hungry for brains? I know I am… all the time. Kick back, get out your best zuit-suit, call some of your undead friends over, and get ready for a rompin’ good 1950’s time with Stubbs the Zombie.
Yep. This guy. Activision Blizzard lifted their nondisclosure agreement, so I can tell you guys absolutely everything. For now, though, I just need to play it more. If you got into the beta, add me as a friend! I could use some dedicated training partners. You’ve got my info right there in the picture.
Oh, and post any questions you might have in the comments. I’ll do my best to answer as many of them as possible.
Dan “Artosis” Stemkoski, a very big name in the United States Starcraft scene, recently sat down for a chat with GameReplays.org. Read on, my RTS brethren.

While “Exactly how much of it?” and “What would I be paying for?” are unanswered questions, what is clear is this: Activision Blizzard wants more of your money funneling into World of Warcraft.

Have you ever finished a game wondering if you’ll ever play anything better? No? Get a copy of Deus Ex. This is a game that rests comfortably on the same lofty echelon as Starcraft, Metroid Prime, Half-Life, and the like. You can not enjoy games like that. But you have to respect their quality. Deus Ex is a testament to storytelling through video games. Read on, and I’ll tell you why.
I’ll be reviewing (surprise!) the PC version.
