He's a gonzo journalist! I often think of what that means exactly. I kinda want to be one too.
Another book about biker gangs on my list that came out this year is Charles Falco's Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws. It's about the darker side to these gangs and his infiltration of them to solve a murder.
I have dreams of designing a cool game room. Shelving where you can see everything for easy access is key. Good job.
Dan Amrich of the One of Swords podcast (ex Gamepro. Official Xbox Magazine writer) did a great rant on this exact subject with many of the same arguments you made. Hilarious that people have opinions even about things they know nothing about. LOL
What a coincidence because I just started to read Hunter Thompson's Hell's Angels today! Also, my first thought in reading your blog was the Motorhead song Iron Horse. I was going to link it here, but you've already done it!
My favorite motorcycle gaming experience was Road Rash on the PS1. Someone needs to release a current gen version of that game pronto! I wonder, does Lost and the Damned have any bike on bike fighting like Road Rash?
Good luck btw!
Steam is so awesome! I've got to get into these games. I've got to get my old PCs up and running again and call them new Steam consoles!
Oh man, Resistance has been sitting in my collection for years. I've played some of it but not all and I still need to pick up 2 and 3.
I want to get into Kane and Lynch to play some co-op with a buddy of mine. I think I have Dead Men in my collection.
Good advice, thanks.
Preorders have bitten me in the butt a few times like with Risen 2 and Epic Mickey. I think my new system of waiting a few months is going to be much better.
What annoys me most is the way that they train them now to chat you up and then insert a suggestive sell into the conversation. I feel like I'm being seduced by a pimp. It's very insulting to me and I avoid all those people like a plague.
The old days of opinionated gamers at Gamestop seem to be gone in favor of the used car salesman. I can barely stand the place now. Here and there though, a real gem of a person emerges and makes me like going there again.
