General Discussion

So E3 isn't far off and thats usually where the biggest announcements are made. So i was wondering what you guys are hoping to see? Personally I'm hoping the ubisoft shows off the new splinter cell in development.

So I don't know about you guys but I always look forward to this. I plan on taking the day off work to watch the Microsoft press conference. I can't wait to finally see some information on the new hitman game and bungies next project. What is everyone else looking forward to and what have you heard. Also if anyone has a good source for information please share. I'm gonna be watching the conference for Microsoft live on either Xbox or g4 unless you know of a better way. I'd love to watch it to together if anyone's interested.

With so much going on at E3 this week, I’m going to try and cover as much as I possibly can, which is no small feat. I will miss some things, I’ll guarantee you that. Head over to the forums and post about anything I missed, or to discuss what I’ve listed. I won’t cover everything in depth, but I will hit the major announcements. Let’s get started: Microsoft finally announced the real name for Project Natal, Kinect. They showed Kinect Sports, a few fitness games, a Sonic game, a Forza game and an exclusive Star Wars game. They also detailed Kinect video conferencing, voice controls for movies/music, and the motion controls for video/music as well. The add-on hits…

CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed via conference call yesterday with investors that the new Star Wars: Battlefront title being worked on by DICE is going "very, very well" although admitting that much work remains to be done on the title. During this June's E3 event you can definitely expect to at least see some footage of the new release but it remains to be seen if the game will actually be in a playable state. EA's conference is slated to be on June 9th but the title may be shown during an earlier E3 event. The last time Battlefront has graced the hands of Star Wars lovers has been in 2004 and 2005 and was developed by Pandemic.

So I have two Xboxes. I bought Bulletstorm Epic Edition and my wife is using the big TV to watch movies. So I thought, no biggie, I'll use the 27" LED LCD PC Monitor that the other system is hooked up to. Threw in my copy of Bulletstorm and went to try to play. Nope. Not going to happen. I get prompted to purchase another Online Pass. So I look in the download list, and nope, can't re-download/activate it. Put in my code again. "Invalid". Apparently you cannot play on more than one console EVEN IF IT'S THE SAME F*CKING GAMERTAG. Gah. I blamming hate EA and this crap. I read through the EA Online Pass card's disclosure about 20 times now and NO WHERE does it say …

They want you to start using their Origin service. Expect other games with close releases coming up, to be Origin exclusive. http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/2126/article/ea-pulls-crysis-2-and-alice-from-steam/

EA has announced it will discontinue its Online Pass program. "Yes, we're discontinuing Online Pass," EA's senior director of corporate communications John Reseburg told GamesBeat in an e-mail. "None of our new EA titles will include that feature." Reseburg added that "many players didn't respond to the format," despite EA going on record months after instituting Online Passes, reporting it had not seen a "significant" backlash. "We've listened to the feedback and decided to do away with it moving forward." The Online Pass, a one-time use code required for online play, was first introduced in 2010 with the intent of being exclusive to EA Sports games, though it quickly …

By almost double the votes, EA Games has beat Bank of America in the Consumerist's annual Golden Poo Award for the worst company of 2012. Made me smile a little bit that this publisher who buys out wonderful game companies *cough* Bioware *cough* and turns them into crap with short deadlines and nickle and dime marketing is finally getting the press they deserve. Full article below: Whether it's on a console, a PC, a smartphone or tablet, hundreds of millions of people play video games every day. Yet most mainstream media covers the industry the same way it treats adult dodge ball leagues and cat fashion shows (both noble ventures, but neither of them multi-billion do…

Downloadable Content, otherwise known as DLC, in my opinion is a double-edged sword. It’s additional content that can elicit joyous responses from fanboys across the world who are eager to get their controller handling mitts on new maps for the latest Call of Duty title, while at the same time evoke furious feelings of rage regarding what many consider to be overpriced. This is all in reference however to post-launch content, which in many cases can be a great thing, but one thing in particular bothers me personally. The dreaded PRE-LAUNCH DLC! Pre-launch DLC is becoming more and more common these days, with many games such as Bioware’s Dragon Age 2 even offering DLC th…

Are you interested in EA’s throwdown title MMA? If so, then you better be putting on your fighting robes, because MMA has dropped onto shelves today.

President Mohamed Morsi has been stripped of his power by the Egyptian army and the constitution has been suspended, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said in a statement. Egypt's chief justice of the constitutional court will become the interim president. Morsi has moved to an "undisclosed location," a presidential aide told AP. He stated earlier that he does not recognize the "military coup," and called on Egyptians to stand against it. http://rt.com/news/army-egypt-roadmap-protest-633/ http://rt.com/news/egypt-ultimatum-expires-protest-616/

Hey man! Enjoy your birthday today!!

You be the judge. Reply with what you think. Ellie Ellen Page Polygon's article about it http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/24/4458176/ellen-page-says-the-last-of-us-ripped-off-her-likeness

It's an older game, but it's so good. I don't know about you guys but when I look at a sequel to a game series I've never touched, I get frightened by how much I've missed and whether I will understand what's going on, but with DE:HR, after hearing that it's the prequel to the earlier games, I jumped at the opportunity to pick this up. Knowing how much I love RPG's and how I can spend hours in one room just snooping around, indulging was necessary here. The game's beginning cinematics are conspiracy based, which would make any such theorists' mouth water. There are a few people discussing a prototype which has not been released, but one they are definitely interested in.…

Edward Snowden email host Lavabit shuts down rather than continuing to comply with secret US gag orders. https://lavabit.com/ My Fellow Users, I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit. After significant soul searching, I have decided to suspend operations. I wish that I could legally share with you the events that led to my decision. I cannot. I feel you deserve to know what’s going on--the first amendment is supposed to guarantee me the freedom to speak out in situations like this. Unfortunately, Congress has passed laws that say…

Happy birthday bro!!! Hope you have a fantastic birthday!

I happen to stumble upon this, don't know if any of you guys know about it. But this is the animation they use for games like, Grand Theft Auto IV, Red Dead Redemption etc. You can download the learning edition for free, and it comes with pretty much everything you need to have to start doing cool ****. It's really interesting to mess around with, when you're bored. You can create bullets to come flying at the dummies, and pillars to crush them. Click here to go download it.

What is an Energy Vampire? Intruding on your life, ignoring boundaries and privacy (energy vampires don't think of you). Making big deals out of nothing. Energy vampires are often called "drama queens" because they can turn a broken nail into a Shakespearean tragedy. Complaining constantly about their partners, jobs, children, bad luck, and illnesses. Energy vampires like to vent. Criticizing your hair, appearance, job, children, partner, friends, and pets (energy vampires aren't positive). Not taking "no" for an answer. Energy vampires don't consider your needs. Being unrelentingly negative. Their negative energy is relentless, and energy vampires drain your positive ene…

In what could be the world's first climate-induced migration of modern times, Anote Tong, the Kiribati president, said he was in talks with Fiji's military government to buy up to 5,000 acres of freehold land on which his countrymen could be housed. Some of Kiribati's 32 pancake-flat coral atolls, which straddle the equator over 1,350,000 square miles of ocean, are already disappearing beneath the waves. Most of its 113,000 people are crammed on to Tarawa, the administrative centre, a chain of islets which curve in a horseshoe shape around a lagoon. "This is the last resort, there's no way out of this one," Mr Tong said. "Our people will have to move as the tides have rea…
