Favorite Rare Pet?
09/03/2008 by Frank Shump @ got2wow.com
I've always had a soft spot for vanity pets. I think it helps flesh out and develop the personality of your character and also helps to spark conversations with your fellow players. While I may have a soft spot, I don't have a death wish. Grinding...

Dungeons and Dragons on Facebook
08/30/2008 by Paul @ 1pstart.com
If you're a nerd then there's a good change that you have at least a semi-appreciation for Dungeons and Dragons. Unfortunatly for me, I was never really able to get into the game because I never had enough friends who were interested in it enough to...

My XBox 360 Broke Part III (For Sure)
08/29/2008 by Paul @ 1pstart.com
I might as well just devote 1pstart in its entirety to my Xbox 360 breaking, since it seems to happen enough to make it worthwhile. So as you can probably tell from the title, the thing finally errored out. It finally seized up a couple of times on...

08/26/2008 by Paul @ 1pstart.com
I know you really don't care, but I do. After having my Xbox 360 RRoD on me once and then having the hard drive fail shortly thereafter, I might be having problems with the unit once again. This time I'm trying to play through Lego Star Wars: The...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed; Unleashed Demo Impressions
08/25/2008 by Paul @ 1pstart.com
I hope you're prepared, because my impressions of Star Was: The Force Unleashed are so unleashed that they make Toby Keith's Unleashed album look so leashed in comparison. So my thoughts are pretty favorable after being tempered by the fact that...

Overlord II Screenshots Ahoy
08/18/2008 by Paul @ 1pstart.com
Overlord was the rare game that was fun, funny, and pretty good. Sure the thing had it's faults, but it was damn fun being a bad guy controlling a mob of hilariously devoted minions. While never having beaten the game*, I enjoyed myself thoroughly...
