Gamers With Jobs

If you've taken a look around today you might have noticed a bit of a facelift to the site. We tweaked the theme a little, installed a templating engine and updated the News module. Now that we've got this shiny new templating engine installed, we just have to start changing things, so expect a few minor changes here and there in the coming weeks.

I donÂ't like to travel. IÂ've probably said that before, but it bears repeating. I particularly hate flying on planes, not because IÂ'm afraid of plummeting toward the ground at fiery speeds – because, ya know, if IÂ'm going to go, IÂ'd like to go fast – but because IÂ'm very tall.

Happy Monday corporate drones! I spent a good part of the weekend putting some time into the City of Heroes beta after reading PaladinÂ's glowing impressions. I havenÂ't played enough to fully form an opinion of my own, but here are some screenshots from my adventures.

It's time for a new feature! Starting today and repeating every Friday we will be running a weekly wrap-up. Here we will look at some of the bigger news stories of the week and what the GWJ staff has to say about them. This week we discuss Square and the GBA, Nvidia, D&D and some Tribes for good measure. Have yourselves a good weekend and we'll see you on Monday!

I think the nicest thing about upgrading your system isn't being able to play all of the new releases, but rather being able to go back and show the older games who is boss. I've bought countless new games that were best described as "playable" on my system at the time.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?Painkiller works on one fundamental principle: killing hell-demons is fun. This is known as the Doom Doctrine, and if it isn't then it should be.

With E3 coming up fast we will be running our executive employee profiles so you guys know a bit about the people in the E3 pictures humping John Carmack's leg. The first member to brave my hard hitting questions is a man who is no stranger to fear. Recently, Sway opened The Box and not only did he not pass out, there were no reports of him screaming like a little girl.

It's open, come in. My attorney will be in touch with you about the damage to the door. Otis, take the gentleman's cape, would you? - Lex LuthorOne of great things about the Gamers With Jobs community is that our forums are teeming with gamers who also happen to be excellent writers.

How about that box opening! In case you weren't around for the weekend, Sway opened The Box and everyone in the forums was turned into a zombie for about 24 hours. Elysium claims he did some good deeds to reestablish the balance but I think he just slept with some bi-curious devils.

I really don't have a whole lot to write about here. I've got a lot on my mind, what with The Box and all. Anyhow, I wanted to introduce a new game that I think might just take the grade school crowd by storm. I mean, surely they can't exist solely on sports games, right?
