Ironically, normal checkers programs on 'Hard' are probably unbeatable for most of us, anyway.

Pimp your Wiimote. Because you love accessorizing and spending money on weird stuff.

Most disturbing images in a game
A horrific gallery of video game scare moments. Probably NSFW because of gore. You don't want your co-workers to think you strange, do you?

Horrible name, but lots of machinima. Not quite as much as machinima.com, though.

CLICK: Game Fonts Database

Currently contains 140 logo fonts for games. Useful for the Photoshop wizards out there. Another clicky link of interest is the MMORPG Lexicon, which contains definitions of all the intense MMORPG lingo you can think of. Funny how words can mean different things in different sub-cultures. Twink, for example. If only they knew!

CLICK: Little People

After discovering Slinkachu's Little People blog via Boing Boing, I knew it was something I wanted to post here. My problem, though, was that it wasn't game related in the slightest.

But it could be. For the following text to make any sense you need to have clicked the link above and had a look. Go on. I'll wait.

Had a look? Good. Anyone else think this kind of thing would be a great premise for a game? I'll write my idea in the comments thread below, because I'm interested to see what others think of the overall concept.

CLICK: New and inventive ways to show off #24

I'm pretty sure that if you participate on any kind of Xbox 360 devoted forum or website having an online Gamercard to display is a prerequisite to earning credibility and respect. Without it, you're suspected of being a bad gamer, not owning that many Xbox 360 games, or worse: being Phil Harrison.

CLICK: File Front latest game demos

There are plenty of sites around offering downloads of PC game demos. What makes this File Front page special is that it's updated as soon as a new demo is added to File Front and allows you to follow download links for each new demo as it is added. In other words: you don't need to spend time worming your way through a convoluted site to get at the fresh content you want.

CLICK: Blogging Zelda

Following in the footsteps of Blogging Ultima and Blogging Dragon Quest comes Blogging Zelda, a journal dedicated to sharing one gamer's experiences playing through the entire Zelda series. The blog, written by Grownup Gamer, is some of the way through Zelda II. Plenty of games and lots of Zelda goodness to go.

Here's a hot tip: start Blogging Final Fantasy before someone else does. Go on. Get cracking.

CLICK: GeeVee

GeeVee is a new service which provides free hosting and viewing of gameplay videos. A YouTube for gameplay, in other words, but it seems to have a few advantages over its mega-popular counterpart: videos are larger and higher-res, video comments aren't full of spam and there's a digg-style ratings system (cool / lame) which adds an extra element of democracy to whether a video gets popular or not.

If you're looking for a place to host your gameplay videos with a bigger display and higher resolution than YouTube, GeeVee might be worth a look.

CLICK: BethBlog

It's almost as if the people at Bethesda Game Studios just want to be liked. Their efforts began on the Fallout 3 forums, and they've now colonized a little speck of the blogsphere. I predict we'll be hitting up Todd Howard's MySpace in a week or two.

Pete Hines is apparently responsible for the newest iteration of Bethesda's quest to be loved by all. Not that he'd admit it:

This (blog) is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now, but I didn’t have the time to do it on my own with everything else going on (that “Oblivion” thing, for one).

Yeah, now you've only got that "Fallout 3" thing going, so you have a lot more free time? Way to win over the skeptics, Pete!

Let's face it: Todd Howard and co. are treating disgruntled fans like the new kid at school who just wants to be your friend. I think it's sweet. I don't think it's going to work. I think a lot of fans will be saying that time spent making affable blog posts could be better spent, ahem, elsewhere.
