    I was thinking of embedding the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey into this page, too, but, you know, some could see that as overkill....

  • … of the Month: Celebrity Gamelists

    Columns Columns by Matt Gardner on

    Since we are now getting into the latest Web pop stuff (that actually gained popularity years ago) with the new GC Blog, I figured it’d be appropriate to come up with another original idea: Celebrity Gamelists. You know celebrity podcasts? Those things in the iTunes music store that tell you what Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson likes listening to (Eric Clapton and Elvis, incidentally). If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll explain in a minute. First I need (want, actually; this doesn’t add anything to my article) to give some back-story.

  • Gamer Girlfriend: Living with “The Other Woman”

    Columns Columns by Vangie Ridgaway on Comments5

    Imagine a world where the guy you love brings home a new woman, announces that she will be living with him for at least a week or two, and proceeds to spend every waking, non-work moment with her. He kindly indicates that it’s cool if you hang out, too. However, he would prefer it if you didn’t get in the way too much.

We don’t share our men with others of our kind.

    PoCoN: Guess what? I’m not leaving! I’m the best narrator this story has, and the best writer of TGoL clearly agrees with me and is going to keep putting me in the story no matter how many times that other writer tries to puff me back to backstage.

    Hey GameCola readers. I bet you were really impressed by Carl's review of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.* I bet you said, "Wow, how topical Carl is! Writing about Indiana Jones shortly after the

  • Low-Rent Adventures in Japan: Of of Oves

    Columns Columns by Richo Rosai on

    When I was a young boy spending all my time in the back of the room in Christian math class painstakingly translating books and song lyrics, I assumed that my perception of Japanese as being less expressive, less beautiful and poetic than English would slowly fade away with time as I was able to more fully grasp and appreciate the subtleties of the language. As of today this hasn’t been the case.

    Columns Columns by Elizabeth Medina-Gray on

    So how about some testgame.exe: Making the Adventure?  Well, as it just so happens, it's about that time again—time for me to ramble for a little while about some of the things I've been working on
