Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (PC)

Today was my day off so I dedicated an unhealthy chunk of time to Space Marine. Results! 7-8 Hours to beat single player on Normal. 1-2 hours to get to level 10 in multiplayer. Totally stable the entire time, never got stuck, but a few odd glitches (you move into chaos marines when you execute […]

Melted Brain: Star Wars Galaxies #4

Editor’s note: The year is 2003. Web comic creator Roop Dirnup developed Melted Brain, a MMORPG-based strip that used, for the most part, actual posts by prospective MMORPG fans as comic dialogue. Thought lost in time, Caltrops will be posting a Melted Brain strip every Friday for the rest of the year. Click for the […]

Day of Sex: Humid ReLOVEution

A lot of us are enjoying Deus Ex: Human Revolution on our IBM PC personal computers and 100% compatibles. The Cable Bruddas believe it to be a better game than the original Deus Ex (and I am going to assume Deus Ex 2 as well, although that is not specifically stated). Find out exactly why […]

Video Review: River City Ransom by the Cable Bruddas

I never bought River City Ransom for the Nintendo Entertainment System because I thought it took place in Venice, and I was raised xenophobe. Hung over and barfing, I am literally the perfect target audience for the Cable Brothers, who are answering the question “Does River City Ransom pass the test of time?” Comments? Join […]

Video Review: Deus Ex by the Cable Bruddas

Does Deus Ex stand the test of time? It’s an honest question. Some would say “no” because they never cared for it in the first place. Others might say no just because of the dated graphics, but there’s a high definition texture pack for Deus Ex. The Cable Bruddas started a thread last summer where […]

Feeding Frenzy (Movie)

If you’re purchasing a copy of Feeding Frenzy (2010, Red Letter Media) you’re doing so to support one of the funniest people on the Internet, not because you’re getting a great film. I am going to assume that co-director Mike Stoklasa wouldn’t want anyone to soften their impression of his movie, unless he’s just a […]

Fireworks Celebration Kit (C64)

While both video game consoles and home computers allowed their owners to play videogames, home computers also gave people the ability to create their own. Through BASIC and other languages, home computer owners were able to create their own games. Unfortunately, many young programmers found out the hard way that creating a game from scratch […]

Angry Birds Chrome (PC)

Admitting to fellow gamers that you play (much less enjoy playing) Angry Birds is similar to letting your old headbanging friends from high school know that you actually enjoyed Metallica’s self-titled “Black” album. The last Metallica album fans are officially allowed to like is 1988’s bassless “…And Justice For All.” Period. Likewise, no retro or […]
