This ad for Gunnar’s Retweet to Win-This Giveaway has me wondering if Gunnar’s gaming eyewear comes in an opaque variant. I’d rather not see anything anymore. That Sessler is a far braver man than I. More »
505 Games is creating a game based on Olympic swimmer extraodinaire Michael Phelps, but can swimming carry a video game? Probably not. That’s where the pure action comes in.
In the latest edition of Sessler’s Soupbox Soapbox, Adam addresses a problem that I’ve been noticing more and more myself lately, PC recommended specs that still won’t allow you to max out your settings. Required specs are supposed to where you need to play the game with the bells and whistles turned off. Recommended specs should reflect the system you need to run the game at a silky smooth frame rate. Do we need to start adding in a third set of specifications like optimal specs? Perhaps they can just list the system they were playing the game on when they started making trailers that look nothing like what I wind up playing on my PC?

X-Play co-host Adam Sessler joined Neal Conan on the NPR radio show Talk of the Nation earlier today to talk about the recent release of Grand Theft Auto IV. While the majority of the segment seemed to focus on relating GTA IV player experiences and informing the NPR audience on the realities, less so the media fantasies, of all things Grand Theft Auto, it took a dive about seven minutes in. That’s when John “Jack” Thompson phoned in to drop his special brand of disinformation.
We’ve touched on the subject before and have even come to the same conclusion, but there’s something charming about X-Play’s Adam Sessler delivery of the material in this instalment of Sessler’s Soapbox. Perhaps the best thing about these segments is that this is exactly how a conversation with Sessler goes in real life, only with varying degrees of slurring depending on how late at night it is. I still remember the first time I met him, when he put his arm across my shoulders and said…um. Well I couldn’t quite make it out. The point here is Sessler kicks arse, regardless of whether you can make out what he’s saying or not. More »
G4 host Adam Sessler gives his opinion on the whole Fox News/Mass Effect imbroglio in this clip from a recent episode of X-Play. He presents the facts with much more aplomb and fairness than Fox did, but in the end turns the tables to give the network and author Cooper Lawrence a taste of their own medicine. Although Lawrence has since apologised for her missteps, it’s still fun to watch Sessler take her and the dubious Fox News to task.
