Is that a metaphor, Peach?
Brow Sweat from Ryan Industries (Bioshock homebrew beer)
Is a man not entitled to the beer in his fridge? Homebrewer Calum whipped up a batch of Bioshock themed beer he dubbed “Brow Sweat”. The beer, an American pale ale, was made for a dystopian and post apocalyptic themed party.
Calum, would you kindly please ship me a case of Brow Sweat?
Nards! No Blizzcon 2012
Due to a packed schedule, Blizzardcon will not be held this year! We Blizzard fans will have to hang up our helms and wait it out til 2013. The decision was announced via Battle.net, citing ongoing work on Diablo III, Titan, a new WoW expansion, and StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm updates, as well as a tournament at the end of the yea, as cause to hold off on the event (attended by 10,000 in 2011).
It’s disappointing, yes, but all the same comforting to know they’re hard at work getting Diablo III out. Are you bummed by the lack of Blizzcon this year?
Always remember the handy, little leafy item from Wind Waker with these earrings.

Last Sunday I fell and kinda broke my ankle. It’s not that bad but it’s still messed up. Good thing is that I have a full week off work (paid, thanks to the Mexican social health care for government workers, like yours truly). Needless to say I’ve been playing through my recovery, a lot (about 20 hours in the last 3 days). Mostly Fallout 3. Some of my friends know this, and that lately I’ve been much more involved in this satan gaming thing, and so they like to send me links to gaming stuff they see online, mostly Portal and Fallout.
Anyway, today a good friend sent me this link to this cool Fallout 3 tattoo. I consider myself a Fallout fan, and I definitely will get a Fallout-related tattoo of my own someday. Probably not as big and Power Armor-ish.
I tell you what though, if I ever use Instagram or some related app or filter to photograph that some-day-to-be tattoo, you have my complete permission to kick my ass.

Go Threadless, Now On XBLA
Need some new Avatar duds? Threadless has got you digitally covered! The Xbox Live Arcade now has Threadless T-shirts and sweatshirts, 16 for your male Avatar, and 8 for female.
Unlike the real Threadless, the male and female markings are set in stone; you won’t be able to use a shirt that’s designated for the opposite sex. I guess it’s difficult for pixel T-shirts to make room for pixel boobs. Or something. But whatever your gender, the T-shirts go for 80 Microsoft Points, sweatshirts for 160, and all are available now on Xbox Live Arcade.

Alan Wake’s PC Version Gets A Box, Too!
Whee! This is good news for people who like having boxes to put on shelves. Alan Wake’s upcoming PC release is not just a digital one. The option to buy a physical copy is available too. Says Lars Wingefors, CEO of Nordic Games GmbH:
“It goes without saying that we are very happy and proud to work together with some of the greatest talents and artists of the games industry. We are really looking forward to the PC version of Alan Wake, especially as we are talking about a fantastic PC adaptation thereof, rather than a mere porting of the code. We will talk about this in more detail in the upcoming weeks.”
Oh, and if you were wondering (I was!), both the digital and physical copies will contain the two DLC chapters “The Signal” and “The Writer”, making this not just an exciting release but a bit of a bargain too.
A new item has entered the Holly Green Geekcraft store, exclusively for Valentine’s Day! The “I’m DOVAHKEEN On You!” card is a cute and cheap option for that special day with your Skyrim sweetie—only $0.99 and you get a zip file containing the high resolution files needed to print out this design for your own. All you need are a color printer, paper, and scissors!
(Item is a collaborative effort between myself and Kaija Thorson aka Pixlberry. Check out her Etsy for more Valentine’s Day geeky goodness!)

“dear zombie,
when do zombies like to hunt for brain, and do people ever run and scream when you are trying to steal their brains?

Dear Jackie-baby,
Let Zombie answer your question with question: Why you not know how to use shift key? You expect to get into college with typing like that? Pfft. Maybe clown college.
