I’m the resident PC gamer around here, mainly because I’m too broke for a console. I grew up on a healthy blend of PC and console gaming, so I don’t really favor one over the other. As for a “special” on the physics engines, I’ll have to look into it. I admit, I know little to nothing about them, which makes me perfectly qualified to talk about them on the Internet.

On “open source” gaming, I must make a plug. For something far better than myself on the independent gaming scene, check out Bytejacker on Revision3. Other than having a pretty darn cool show name, Anthony and the crew do fantastically well-written reviews on downloadable and/or smaller developer games for pretty much anything that could even remotely be considered a platform. (He also sent me a very nice message and reply on YouTube, to which I linked this site for him to view and blubbered on about how much I love Revision3. So….HI ANTHONY! *frantic waving*). A mod article, on the other hand, is a mighty fine idea. I’m not big in the modding community, but I do know the ones I like, especially for games I actually own, like the Source engine games (the HL2 mods using TF2 and L4D - boy, that's a lot of letters). It can be total conversion, like the AWESOME Goldeneye Source mod or very simple audio mods. They’re simple, but nothing is scarier than seeing a Tank run at you in L4D, screaming a Randy Savage “OH YEAH!"

P.S. Shotgunning Aliens? Can’t go wrong with those two words.

HA! I get this question all the friggin' time. I DO have my own gamertag, BUT. You know the guy on this site named Joel? I share his gamertag, and we only approve requests from close friends. Sorry. =(

HOWEVER... on MARCH 3RD from 6-7:30 PST (9-10:30 ET) Xbox LIVE is doing a "Game With Fame" event with me! We'll be playing Bioshock 2 multiplayer and my gamertag will be Lisa GwF. So, there ya go! Come play with me on March 3rd.
