Loot gatherers rejoice. Diablo III will allow you to sell it online. For real cash, for a fee. http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/index/~3/ZHkZ0PH1bRY/

Just got an email from Humble Bundle. Because of their success, they're giving everyone who bought the 2nd bundle ALL of the games included in the original Humble Bundle! SWEEEET!

Click here to see some of the devastation http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8691651/London-riots-before-and-after-the-destruction-in-Croydon-Hackney-and-Enfield.html Looks like this was well planned out, too. Why? Because an officer shot a civilian? Boo at you, sheep. You're doing exactly what these planners wanted you to do. They'll be miles away when the police arrive and start to arrest you. You, the local idiots, scarring your own hometowns and neighbors. This sickens me as well. How could you mug a little kid who is injured!? You despicable animals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gex_ya4-Oo

Star Wars Episode 7 targeted for release in 2015. Seriously. http://thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-news/press-releases/2012/10/disney-acquire-lucasfilm-ltd

The House of Mouse has officially killed LucasArts and cancelled Star Wars 1313 and all other projects that were in development. I would say this is a sad day, but in all honesty Star Wars Kinect was the last game they developed and released and we all know how that turned out. “After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games," LucasArts parent company LucasFilm said in a statement. "As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud …

Evidence that would have exonerated a husband of murder charges over his wife. He spent a quarter of a decade in prison because some asshole DA wanted to further his career. He also has to pay out a whopping $500 and can never practice law again. Please read this. This is what's up with our criminal courts in America right now. The so called defenders of law get away with slaps on the wrists while everyday citizens get the full force of the law. http://www.statesman.com/news/news/ken-anderson-to-serve-10-days-in-jail/nbmsH/

Type those words exactly into Google. Video says only Chrome but it also works in Firefox.

It's crap like this that bugs me... I have Dragon Age Ultimate with all the DLC on my PC. Right now me and the thousands of others with the game cannot play it because EA's servers are down for the game. Now what the hell is the point of buying DLC if I cannot play the damn game when the servers are down? If I own the crap I should be able to play it when I want, regardless of the servers. Now that my little rant is over, what is your opinion on EA's digital content and do you feel that you rightfully own it if EA prettymuch has the ability to pull it from you if they shut down their servers?

Weigh in.

are you guys coming tomorrow for Nintendo and Sony .. I don't have anything to do tomorrow so I plan on drinking a few extra Labatt's for these guys than I did today .. hope to talk to you guys then!

SALE GOES LIVE AT 2:30 PM EASTERN TIME, TODAY NOVEMBER 4TH This is going to sell out I'm guessing in less than 3 minutes. www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaigns/hp/touchpad_available.asp?SRCCODE=WEM2874TT&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2874-_-tigeremail I got an email yesterday from Tiger Direct (since I signed up to be notified) that they received a new shipment of HP Touchpads. I've wanted one for a while now, at the "firesale" price of course, but I don't know if I'll jump on this. I pre-ordered a Kindle Fire for Coy and I to use already but I know that Cyanogen is working on porting AndroidOS over to the Touchpad which would make it much more appealing. Anyways, the b…

Would you like to know more?

Don't know who I'm more upset with. The police, or the wireless providers. Glad I don't use or own a cell phone. The documents paint a picture of a surveillance free-for-all. While departments seem to have avoided warrantless access to phone calls themselves—which would likely run afoul of wiretapping laws—police departments have sought access to a wide variety of other user information. The legal standards used for cell phone tracking requests vary widely by police department. Some law enforcement agencies do not track cell phones, or have concluded that the Fourth Amendment requires them to obtain a warrant in order to track user locations. But many more reported obtai…

The fate of Clayton Carmine in Gears of War 3 was in the hands of Gears fans during the “Fate of Carmine” campaign. Will he meet a horrific end like the Carmine’s before him or will he live on and support his fellow Gears? We will have to wait until the game releases in 2011 to find out, but in the meantime check out the thank you message from Epic below. They raised over $150,000 for Child’s Play charity with the help of gamers like you. Xbox 360 Games – E3 2011 – Gears of War 3G4tv View the full article

A rumor has gone viral in the physics community that the world's largest atom smasher may have detected a long-sought subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, also known as the "God particle," http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2011/04/newsflash-rumor-in-worlds-physicis-community-that-cerns-lhc-has-detected-the-higgs-boson-the-god-par.html

http://www.vcstar.co...g-homicides-at/ Mr. Barnes had his life taken from him apparently trying to come to the aid of someone during an argument between a man and a woman on the evening of January. A game artist, he has been active in the industry since 1996 and has worked with Activision, EA, Tiburon Studios and on properties such as Transformers and Kung Fu Panda. He is survived by a 17 year old daughter and 8 year old son. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ziffdavis/extremetech/~3/erPTpnIHlfk/0,2845,2371136,00.asp This is a pretty awesome thing to come to DOSBox. This should allow some of the older late 90s games to stay alive. I love technology that keeps us playing our games. Classics and all!

What's up with this game? I know it has something to do with Valve, but other than lots of people talking about it I have not a clue (clueless). I'm assuming the people that are playing it is in some kind of beta; thanks.

In a rather odd announcement, Double Fine which has brought such games as Brutal Legend and the recently released title Stacking to a living room near you, has announced that they are working on a new title. A family friendly title if you will. Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is being developed by Double Fine for the Kinect and is aimed at getting the children and family gaming together in a fun, friendly, and educational environment. According to The Escapist, the game will feature all of the children’s beloved Sesame Street characters including Elmo and will teach children about their emotions and making friends. This family friendly Kinect title will be releasing …

Incinerated partial remains of at least 274 troops were reportedly dumped at landfill between 2004-08 by the largest military mortuary in the US. The Washington Post report was based on data from Dover Air Force Base, the main entry port for US war dead. The newspaper first broke the story last month, but it was not known how many remains were dumped at landfill. Families, who had agreed for the remains to be disposed of respectfully, were unaware of the practice. Pentagon officials did not authorise the procedure, which was reported by whistleblowers. Air Force officials, who have denied a cover-up, said last month they could not estimate the precise number of casualties…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMXvpWoHzeE Don't like how she brings up the wars in Irag and Afghanistan. Also don't like what she says about mens brains. However, if what she says is real, it might be good to listen to her and watch how we do things.

http://youtu.be/3fDrMal-qes CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta cuts through the smoke and travels around the world to uncover the highs and lows of cannabis. This is an important documentary, since it'll open other doctors and researcher's eyes. Cannabis has a stigma that blinds even professional people in the medical field.
