if done correctly, quitting your job can be the absolute coolest thing you could ever do. When else do you get to air out hostilities you've harbored for countless years, impress cohorts with theatrical gesticulations and possibly, depending on the awfulness of your workplace environment, relieve yourself in a coffee pot?

One Mr. Jarrad recently took a less disgusting route to resignation from his position at 2K Australia -- he programmed a short (but sweet) Flash game, one which informs his employers that he's putting in his two week notice with grace and politeness. Also, with Mario.

 This video is just amusing, and of course it tells the truth, the dark side of the internet. Please enjoy! And tell me what do you think, haha...

When it comes to adult games (or really just any form of sexual content), J-land does it like no other. H-game developer Teatime (which is under the same branch of company as Illusion, the folks behind the highly controversial title "Rapelay") had put up a rather interesting article about the technology involved in their new title, "Tech48".

Teatime states that Tech 48 will be the first adult PC game (and quite possibly the first game in general) to simultaneously deliver both face recognition, and head-tracking technology. T-Cam, a camera designed exclusively for the game, will interactively serve as both your eyes and "your girl"'s eyes. The interesting thing about the device is that the in-game camera angle changes according to where you're physically at. A video demo of the device is available below so check it out. If you want to see how the head-tracking system works right away, jump to 1:27. It's worth a look.

これまで、ゲーム中の女の子は、プレイヤー(主人公)が実際には見えているわけではなく、脚本の中で演じているにすぎませんでした。Tech48(T-CAM・眼)によって、ゲーム中の女の子(キャラクター)は、全世界のゲーム市場で初めて視覚情報を得る事ができるようになりました。物を見てから行動する…

Day of Darkness II from Dire Lauthris on Vimeo.

Based on EVE the Chronicle The Breakout, this video is no doubt the epic one that you can watch as a short film. The author Dire Lauthris explains a little about the background to his masterpiece:

This film covers a bit from the Caldari-Gallente war, based on the Chronicle The Breakout. It’s set 200 years ago, before any of the 4 races had pod technology. I tried to use ships that may have been around back then, though sadly there’s not a huge amount of information that I could find.

Initially I tried making this in 3DS Max with hilariously bad results. (I might post up some of the initial shots for a laugh one day). I was about to go back to the old Sisi + alts method when I thought I’d ask CCP if they could help out with the locations of some complexes to use on Sisi. Instead they invited me over to their offices and let me have a tinker with the software they use for making their own vids.

I was able to bring a cut-down version of this away and set about making the film - so without CCP this probably wouldn’t have turned out anything like it has. A big thank you to CCP for being an awesomely open company to

I have no idea about the percentage of females but It makes sense to males in my opinion since we have so many choices to play whatever video games or MMORPGs, good games cause addiction, it doesn't matter with "get a life or what" What do you think? Here is the article.

1 in 3 British men would prefer to play video games than sleep with their partner, with 72% claiming they'd shun their missus for the night to play a new release.

From a study of 1130 British men, of those in relationships, 32% that said they would prefer to play video games gave reasons ranging from their "partner being hard to please" to the prospect being "not as much fun" as gaming.

Further cementing the sad truth about video game addiction in the British male, 41% said if they were given £50, they'd spend it on a video game.

The research was carried out by PlayStation3 site, www.PS3pricecompare.co.uk, a specialist independent price comparison website that claims it can help find the cheapest new consoles and games.

One sure-fire way to make a good or great game better is to add a Zombie mode. This would probably also apply to bad games, where adding a Zombie mode would make them at least alright.  Call of Duty: World at War would have already been a successful game with the standard multiplayer games and single player campaign experience. Adding the fan favorite Nazi Zombie mode gives gamers another experience to spend hours enjoying.  They have even since added a second map, Verruckt (Zombie Asylum) to take the experience to the next level.

With that idea in mind PWN or DIE thought of 8 new and old games that would benefit by adding zombies to them

Mario Kart

Mario Kart allows you to race against your friends and the lovable characters in the Mario universe in mostly happy and fun environments.  We would love to see the game get a handful of courses like Banshee Boardwalk that are raced at night and filled with Zombies.  In this Zombie mode the racers would have to not only manage the course but also maneuver around hundreds of Zombies.  New power-ups could be added to wipe the Zombies off the map or send them after the other racers.

Malcolm Palmer, 62, turned on the mother of his three children after she became hooked on the violent Grand Theft Auto driving game. He was forced to sleep on a sofa in their conservatory as Carol Cannom, 46, stayed up all night with the 37-inch plasma television screen she brought into their room for her all-night gaming sessions

The couple from Long Sutton, Lincolnshire. had been together for 30 years but their relationship soured after they bought the console for their 10-year-old son James.

He would play on the computer until midnight, after which Ms Cannom would take over, regularly staying up until five or six in the morning, Lincoln Crown Court was told.

"Carol quickly became hooked. He was very unhappy about the amount of time she was playing on the PlayStation," said John Pini QC for the prosecution.

The court yesterday (Monday) heard how Palmer had also become convinced that she was having an affair, and went into a violent rage when she told him she wanted him to move out in November last year, threatening that he would never get to see their children again.

That evening he attacked her with two knives, inflicting 20 separate wounds to her upper chest. The murder wa
