Thank you Rob Delaney
I don’t *want* there to be global nuclear holocaust, but at least then I wouldn’t have to see pictures of “cosplay” online.

Skyrim Nick Cage Style →
So I FINALLY got my hands on Skyrim, and I was doing the Liam Neeson thing (fist fighting wolves on snowy mountaintops) I then kicked myself, because I realized I could have made my guy look like Nick Cage.
So I wanted to know if I was the only one who thought of something that brilliant.
Nope, and someone one upped me.

Bungie Reveals Destiny
Jezum Crow, there’s a lot of info here… Bungie style. So that means a lot of platitudes and very little on anything else.
So here’s what I gleaned
It’s an MMO but not, that you can play it solo but have friends help you out along the way. Or meet people that’ll join in your fight.
It’s an always on persistent world, that you’ll be able to interact...

A trip into madness: A terrible fan base. →
i-e-madness:
I was until very recently a subscriber on YouTube to xboxahoy. He does weapon guides for COD. I hate his gameplay because it is terrible, with drop shotting and jumping.
I left a message telling him that I hate his play style and that he has lost a subscriber. I wished him well because he has never done me wrong.
The backlash from his fans has been horrendous, you would swear that...

So I FINALLY got ME3, I know I know, but I’m broke and I had to wait for a friend to beat it first.
Anyway, I can’t wait to get home and play the shit out of it…. naked.

Draw Something is being turned into a reality show...
iheartchaos:
Just when I think that reality TV shows have been wrung absolutely bone dry, networks just keep coming up with more stupid fucking ideas. Like Draw Something. It’s a fun app, it’s sold a zillion copies, but a reality show? CBS thinks it’s worth pursuing, but CBS has a lot of dumb ideas. They thought turning a Twitter feed (Shit My Dad Says) would make a good show, too.

I love it when I make them cough blood.
Up until April, the hit mobile doodling game Draw Something, which first debuted in February, was growing at an unprecedented rate — amassing 20 million daily active users at one point. In late March, the game’s parent company, OMGPOP, was snatched up by online gaming giant Zynga for an eyebrow-raising $200 million, and usership has declined since. In April, the title lost a third of its...

Frances Bean Cobain Has Controlled Kurt Cobain's...
While Love was in charge of Kurt’s likeness in 2009, his avatar appeared in Guitar Hero 5 singing Bon Jovi and Bush songs. Although she loudly claimed she’d sue, the people behind the game made it clear that Love’s signature made it perfectly legal.
I worked on that game and when I first saw it my first thought was what did Courtney Love buy with that sweet Activision cash?

Some new Black Ops II info
The Black Ops II story will be branching—it will feature choices and variable outcomes. Wait, what? Yep.
At one point, players had an option to either grab a sniper rifle and cover their squad, or rappel down to join up with them. Presumably that choice leads to a slightly different gameplay experience—this looks like one of the smaller of the choices offered in the game.
A large part of the...

Woman attacks cop with dildo, GTA style

Nintendo just posted their first annual losses...
iheartchaos:
In its long history, Nintendo has never posted an annual profit loss as a public company. Until this year, when a combination of poor Wii sales, a strong Japanese yen and a rather rocky 3DS launch caused the game company to suffer a half billion dollar loss. Yes, Nintendo is fallible after all.

Gamer Food
Find me a more irritating “subculture” than gamers, I dare you. Yeah, furries and diapermen are weird and gross and all that, but at least those dudes aren’t constantly griping about how their expensive toys aren’t considered art. Gamers seem insistent on constantly reminding the public that their toys are serious toys, deserving of respect, blah blah, goodbye Aeris, my...

I know that I don’t really have too much of a chance compared to other girls, but it’s still a nice way to get more...
