Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Oh boy am I excited for Portal. But also a little… concerned. See, my brain’s a fragile thing, doesn’t really like crazy puzzles. And looking at how the whole portal gun thing works, my noggin hurts just thinking about how I’m supposed to be thinking while playing the game. Down is up, left is down, up is not really, up… oh, it’s all so confusing. Luckily, Wired have stepped up with a handy, graphic guide to the game, which I’m printing, cutting out and sticking on my fridge door right now.

The October issue of Wired mag has a nice succinct nerd encyclopedia that does a fine job of defining things in a single sentence. Game-wise, this is what they’ve got on the seventh generation consoles:
Wii. A motion-sensing controller, simple games, and a low price make this the top 7th-genner.
Xbox 360. Brilliantly conceived online-community features give this box sizzle.
PS3. Stellar specs can’t make up for the high price and late release — a missed opportunity.

After reading Chris Kohler’s review of Postal, Uwe Bowl was less than happy. So after their brief email flirtation, Kohler asked for a follow-up wrestling match interview and Bowl obliged. Wired:…you want people to accept that this is what you’re doing with this movie, that you’re going to take taboo subjects and satirise them, but when I sort of take a subject like your movie and end up making a satirical or a funny article about that, I don’t have the right to do that? Only you have the right…
Ooh, good point! How will the fired up Bowl respond?
Uwe Boll, it seems was not as taken with Wired’s Chris Kohler’s take on Postal as we were. In fact the German-born director emailed Chris to, among other things, suggest he go have sex with his own mother. chris your review shows me only that you dont understand anything about movies and that you are a untalented wanna bee filmmaker with no balls and no understanding what POSTAL is. you dont see courage because you are nothing. and no go to your mum and fuck her..because she cooks for you now since 30 years…so she deserves it. people like you are the reason that independent movies have no chance anymore. uwe boll PS: POSTAL is R RATED . The MPAA understood the satire – you not – you dumb fuck
