I live near the San Andreas fault (and no, not the one in GTA). As such, it’s pretty common around here to feel quakes every now and then.

Remember that James Bond flick where Bond gets roped into playing a video game with the bad guy? I think the video game was called “Domination” or something dumb like that. The game was pretty lame looking, even by 80′s standards.

While it hasn’t gotten to the point where game companies will need a professional
Years and years in the making. Multiple planning sessions, videogame companies, and game engines involved in the effort. And still Duke Nukem: Forever was released half-baked.
