BOTB Series: The Best Open Source Native Linux Games

BOTB Series: Music in Video Game Trailers
There have been rare instances where music is used so beautifully and so brilliantly in the most unlikely places that you have to stop and pay respect.

An oldschool tour through the original Id Software Studio
Such a classic piece of our culture. The importance of what these men did changed the world forever, definitely something that should be watched and appreciated.

BBC does a radio show on the emerging E-Sport movement in the EU

Obviously this is a mainstream style broadcast so don’t expect it to go into too much depth into much but it is still nice to listen to something spreading more authenticity and validity in [...]
Gears of War trailer released: Ashes to Ashes
I make no secret that 3rd person console shooters are easily in my top 5 most detested genres of games in the world and could write pages and pages about why they should all be abolished but one thing I don’t hate is the zillions and zillions of dollars pumped into that market to make [...]
