Dillon wrote this for us as part of Gamercide contributing to his Kickstarter awhile back. He only needed to make us one song, but he gave us two. One is an instrumental. I'll link to both songs so you can download them. We'll be using them for our broadcasts on Twitch.tv. Huge thanks go out to Dillon and his wife, Elise. Both are wonderful people and I'm glad I've met them.

If you picked up Nintendo’s latest console offering the Wii U and are a fan of the Metro series, don’t expect to see a Metro game on the console…ever. Metro: Last Light developer 4A Games slapped Nintendo right across their already chapped butt cheeks, by calling the console’s CPU “horrible”. Speaking to NowGamer, 4A Games Chief Technical Officer Oles Shishkovtsov, shared his very blatant thoughts about Nintendo’s newest console by stating, “‘The Wii U has a horrible, slow CPU”. Fellow 4A games employee Huw Benyon echoed the same response saying that they had hoped to work something out with the console, but the impact on the overall quality “wasn’t worth pursuing”. The…

In your Thursday edition of “I could give two shits about something containing Call of Duty in it”, I present to you the latest rumor regarding 2013′s release of the next installment in a series that others call unique and innovative, however I refer to it as a once great thing turned into a huge steaming cow patty. Siliconera is reporting that Activision is already recording voice overs for the 2013 release of the next Call of Duty which will continue the Modern Warfare story if you want to call it that after Modern Warfare 3. Supposedly there is also a flashback with the now dead “Soap” MacTavish. Anybody remember his death scene? Most un-climatic piece of story tell…

Playstation 3 users have been barking up Activision and Treyarch’s tree shortly after the release of Black Ops 2, due to growing issues of in game freezing and server problems.

Gamers have been reporting repeated issues of freezing in both single player and multiplayer modes and also not being able to connect to a server when trying to play online. Activision has released a statement over Twitter stating that they are actively working on a fix to the growing number of complaints. So far there have been no reports of these issues with the Xbox 360 or PC versions of t…

Rockstar’s Dan Houser released a major spoiler regarding their upcoming spring 2013 release of GTA V. Out of the three main stories that you play through, one of them is the antagonist. Houser made the statement during an interview with The New York Times when asked about the three character story line. “Just at the conceptual level, the idea was three separate stories that you play in one game. he next bit was, let’s not have the stories intersect once or twice but have them completely interwoven. It felt like it was going to be a real narrative strength: you get to play the protagonist and the antagonist in the same story.” Houser also said that Americans do not und…

What’s the story behind your gamertag Well, back in the day when I was a wee lad, I used to go by xStArDoMx. Can you just feel the teenaged angst? The story behind it isn’t very remarkable. I went through some old gamertags for clans with lots of x’s and alternating caps back when I used to play Halo 2 on the OBox. Once I got a 360, I decided I needed something better. I originally just wanted Stardom but, alas, it was taken. So I used my awesome workaround skills and came up with xStArDoMx. I’ve since moved on to bigger and better names such as Nick. Other aliases I go by are FeversMirrors (based off of an album by Bright Eyes) and Taters (my Steam name if I remember c…
