John Carmack decided to say a few words on the upcoming Doom 4 at QuakeCon. Which thus far is just being called “the next Doom”. Couldn’t they just give us the name of it already?

Seriously, a built-in kegerator, this arcade machine offers several nice speccs, but nothing can quite top the fact that is has a kegerator. Not only that but there is a tap right next to the steering wheel and then one the back as well.

I have to say, Stan Lee is definitely the coolest guy on the planet. I lost the slightest bit of faith in them after that really horrible TV series. Actually, I thought he’d finally gone completely nuts. However, he has officially redeemed himself by making a quick statement about video games.

When you talk about games evolving over the years and becoming more like movies, in many ways, they’ve gone beyond movies. To do a movie is difficult, but it’s linear. There’s a beginning, a middle and an end, and that’s it – you write a story. In a videogame, you’re writing many stories within the story. It’s a totally different structure and a totally different philosophy of writing and, I think, a much, much more difficult one. I get the feeling more work goes into these videogames than even goes into the movies I marvel at the fact the games look as good, and in some cases better, as the most expensive movies . . . Now you watch one of these games and it’s like watching the greatest superhero movie, except you’re part of it. It’s indescribable. And you know it takes a lot to impress me.

There you have it, proof that Stan Lee is indeed still badass. This quote is from an interview he did at ComicCon. It’s nice to know Stan Lee has a love for all things geeky and doesn’t just stick to his love for comics.

Back in March Paramount movie studios announced that they were going to be breaking into the gaming business. Now they’ve just announced their first three titles and I have to say I’m quite underwhelmed.

They announced that they will be releasing Mean Girls, Clueless and Pretty in Pink. Although I very much liked the movies they listed (well except Pretty in Pink), there isn’t a chance in hell I’d play a game based off of them. I am a bit of a girl, so I do like girly things.

However, unless I’m lobbing off some teen zombie’s head I’m really not going to be into these games. Although the movies were entertaining to watch, I really don’t have high hopes for these games.

Merriam-Webster is doing its best to be up-to-date with all of the latest in popular words. It’s probably best that they continue doing so, since they make dictionaries. They recently decided to add around 100 new words to their Collegiate Dictionary, one of which being ‘fanboy.’
