RINCON! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

News has broke this morning that the possible first case of credit card theft from the Playstation Network security breach that happened last week may have been reported. Rory Spreckley from Australia told ABC News that he logged in to check his bank account and noticed that there were $2,000 worth of new charges billed to his account that he did not make. “I logged into my bank account just to check everything was OK and I found out there was some just over $2,000 in charges which I didn’t personally accrue,” Sony has not made an official comment regarding this or another report that Playstation hacking site PSX-Scene is claiming that an underground website is trying …

Joystiq claims that they discovered that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier may be Kinect enabled. Joystiq is claiming that an image appeared late lastnight on Xbox.com that showed the cover of the game sporting a “Better With Kinect Sensor” purple logo. That image has since been taken down and replaced with regular looking cover art. If you pay attention to the differences in both covers you will see that Ubisoft logo has also been moved and both versions of the cover are extremely different. What do you think Ghost Recon fans? Would a Kinect enabled experience enhance or destroy your gaming experience with Future Soldier? via Joystiq View the full article

It has been claimed Ms Ramage severed her hand on the jagged edge of a hand basin after it broke while the pair was having sex. But family member said Ms Ramage "would never put herself in that sort of a predicament''. "She's a good Christian girl. I've known her all her life and she has strong principles ... I just can't believe it. It doesn't sound like Amy at all,'' she told Fairfax Media. Croatian authorities were still searching for the Englishman, who reportedly fled after the accident, the woman said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIOMETRIC!!! Have a great day, Bio! Thanks for making new members feel welcomed when they join, too. We appreciate that very much.

Hey, Bethesda! Let’s settle this! I am back, and I am excited. Marriage has been wonderful so far, and nobody sabotaged my computer while I was gone. The only negative thing going on at this moment is the Scrolls trademark lawsuit nonsense, and I think I came up with the perfect solution: Remember that scene in Game of Thrones where Tyrion chose a trial by battle in the Eyrie? Well, let’s do that instead! I challenge Bethesda to a game of Quake 3. Three of our best warriors against three of your best warriors. We select one level, you select the other, we randomize the order. 20 minute matches, highest total frag count per team across both levels wins. If we win, you drop…

This is an alleged video of one of the people who was either there at the times of the rapes, or actively took part in. It is beyond disturbing, so please don't watch it if you don't think you're up to it. Trigger warning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22UsHZXPi7Q This little monster... I just want to make him feel all the pain and humiliation he and his monster friends put that girl through. There isn't an ounce of compassion in him.

What's wrong with my gamertag it just says the site is down, it has been that way the past 3 days. I figured it would go back to normal but when I went to the site and typed in my name it says it's a new name and I have to wait.

But it's only available at the moment to Playstation Plus subscribers. It will roll out "in the next few months" to the rest of the PS3 population. I'mma going to wait. I'm not signing up for Playstation Plus. 360 won't get Hulu+ till "sometime in 2011"

Hey all With the announcement of the Halo Reach console bundle, I decided to work on an article about whether or not video game themed console bundles sway your mind in either buying the game or upgrading your system or both. Please be opinionated as possible and feel free to make comparisons with the different video game themed consoles that have come out. Remember your opinions/gamertag will be included in the article like when I did the RE series article. Spanks!

Tam and I are adopting two kittens today from Cause 4 Paws .. oh I'm so excited!!

http://kotaku.com/5621221/capcom-promises-no-more-racist-games Wha!? Really? This is stupid. I can't believe that they actually are taking the claims of racism in RE5 to heart. It makes me a sad panda. This world/society is going to hell in a handbasket quickly.

Bye.

<br> <br> If you’re like myself and millions of other legitimate users of Microsoft’s Xbox Live service, when you need Microsoft Points to purchase some new downloadable content you do the normal thing. <br> <br> You buy them. With your own money. On your console or from a store. <br> <br> Unfortunately for Microsoft however a small group of hackers have recently cracked the algorithm used to generate those familiar 25 character codes in order to obtain literally millions of dollars worth of space bucks in a less than legal fashion. A website devoted to hacking, modding, cheating and other irritating things most of us loathe threw up…

All this week Sega has been teasing about “big news” coming to Sonic the Hedgehog’s Facebook page. Fans of Sega’s favorite blue chili dog eating hero start tapping your feet, because Sonic is back in a new game coming to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 later this year. The colorful 3D teaser trailer which you can view checking out Sonic’s very own Facebook page, shows Sonic speeding along, leaping from platform to platform only to make one big jump and another blue Sonic appears beside him. Does this mean the new game will be co-op or has Sonic gotten a speedy doppleganger? via Sonic the Hedgehog’s Facebook Tweet This Post View the full article
