Swag's blog

His cape seems a shade bluer than I remember....

If he still checks this site:

That's right.

Hysterically funny or morbidly disturbing? You decide!

Ever wondered how Aku would fight, in a real fight? Wonder no more!

In this Gamasutra feature, moral choices in games, in this case Bioshock 1+2 and Fallout 3, are examined to see if any moral ambiguity or clarity can be achieved.

From the article:

"While the original BioShock was a critical smash for Irrational Games, critics did realize that the moral choices that were so central to the game were black and white -- either a player would choose to be good or evil. Kill a little sister or let her live. But game designers are realizing that there is a grey area that resides in between good and evil." Read more

I figured that I'd have to post at least one wrestling related classic clip. Even though maybe only two people on here will get this, it's still funny. And let's face it, you guys don't have a choice.

This is a sad entry in swag's classic™ clip today. As some of you may know, Ronnie James Dio passed away this past Sunday from stomach cancer at 67. He was the former singer of Rainbow, Black Sabbath (after Ozzy), Dio, and the newly formed Heaven and Hell. In fact just last month Dio had just won an award for best metal vocalist.

I was debating even posting this as I suspect that at most one person on here even knows who Dio is, but I figured that I'd do it anyway. He was one of the ugliest dudes in metal, but also had the most consistantly powerful voice around.

Take a guess.

Posted by Kotaku (not Gamasutra, yet), Nintendo takes the top spot this year from Blizzard (who are way down the list at 80).

On a Canadian note, the #3 spot belonged to EA Canada, and number 4, Ubisoft Montreal (and 7 more Canadian companies in the top 100).

Yes, since it is in fact Mother's day, why not show it the proper way?

This video, last posted here by Coxxorz, has just been certified Classic™.

This is the second best video that I've ever posted!

This classic clip was submitted by a certain (unnamed) member of HoC! Remember you can all submit classic clips to swag! Although I won't put my email here, so good luck trying to get it to me.

Not really sure if this is really classic (even if it technically is), but here you go:

Yes that's right, Blackwalt isn't the only one who promotes games that only he himself plays.

Normally I wouldn't post a technical article like this, but Steve Jobs' recent comments on why Apple isn't supporting Flash on the iphone/ipad/ipod are just too ridiculous to ignore.

From the article:

"Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true."

Ah, I don't know how this hasn't ended up on this site. This has been certified classic for a long time!

"Not a fan of the ladies, eh Trebek?"

It's real, I swear.
