DirectionalPad’s E3 2006 Coverage wrap-up
Posted by inpheaux on May 21st, 2006 at 2:18 amI know, I know . . "So inpheaux what's the deal? You get back from E3 and then don't post anything for a week?" I've been busy, ok? 12,300 words of coverage and editorial insight don't write themselves. Even if they did write themselves it wouldn't be an incredibly fast process. It took me a [...]
E3 2006 Pictures are all up
Posted by inpheaux on May 14th, 2006 at 3:31 pmSeveral days late, but it's finally all up. 313 pictures spread over four days. All these sets can be seen over in our stylish image gallery, but in case you're lazy, here's a nice descriptive list of what we've got to offer: inpheaux's E3 Galleries Day 0 - Scouting the lobbies on Tuesday afternoon Day [...]
E3 Pictures / Wrapup / Impressions / etc – SOON
Posted by inpheaux on May 13th, 2006 at 7:38 amWell, I just got back home from my week in LA. While boarding my flight out of LAX, a guy next to me was having some guarded conversation with his wife. They kept looking at me intently and going back to their conversation. As I had just finished three incredibly exhausting days, and was not [...]
E3 Day One Pictures
Posted by inpheaux on May 11th, 2006 at 9:37 amI promised I'd find time to do a proper E3 Daily recap, but yesterday afternoon I quickly found that I had seriously over-exerted myself and was accordingly the most exhausted I've been in years. So while I don't have a ton of time to say everything I want to at the moment, as we're getting [...]
Thismorning’s unscheduled downtime
Posted by inpheaux on May 8th, 2006 at 11:30 amJust wanted to update everyone about our couple hours of downtime. It looks like someone got excited and pressed the wrong button on our datacenter's DHCP server around 0300 EDT, and no one knew there was a problem until we told them. No big deal, though, all we lost was our sweet year and a [...]
Directional Pad Game Review Megapost
Posted by inpheaux on March 24th, 2006 at 1:59 amYou want reviews? Seriously? Great, because reviews are what I have to give. Six of them, in fact. Some of them were slightly delayed, but hey, we have games to play. With such a great lineup of stuff to play, it's fully understandable that we might get sidetracked. So here's what we've got: Guitar Hero [...]
New Year’s Accomplishments
Posted by inpheaux on January 2nd, 2006 at 4:28 amSo far this year I've beaten two games, finished reading one book, rewrote a ridiculously complex WordPress plugin and upgraded the WordPress installation on a certain semi-major videogame news site which you happen to be reading. What have you done so far this year? As I mentioned in the previous post, I've got us all [...]
On Upgrading and Low Post Volumes
Posted by inpheaux on December 31st, 2005 at 3:35 amWell, it looks like I'm going to be spending my New Year's Eve getting our slightly modded WordPress installation upgraded to the new release. As such, I'm going to hold off on posting much new stuff untill I can get everything upgraded. Kinda sad, too, as we've got two new reviews just about ready to [...]
New People, Reviews and Previews
Posted by inpheaux on December 12th, 2005 at 2:25 amI've been promising that we've been busy around here for weeks, and well, we have. Seriously. And now I have proof. First, check out these reviews from our new writers here at DPad: F.E.A.R., as reviewed by Apex F.E.A.R. [again], as reviewed by Qwertyasher Gun, as reviewed by vinnie1023 Yes, we have two reviews of [...]
3 New Reviews: War, Giants and Strogg
Posted by inpheaux on November 4th, 2005 at 6:36 amWe've got three new reviews for you today. I don't have anything amazing to say about them, apart from the fact that this is the widest variety of reviews we've posted so far. Three platforms, and games which range from "horrible" to "mediocre" to "unquestionable game of the year candidate". Guessing which is which will [...]
