Please stop by and show our channel and caster some support. 24 marathons are not easy and he's helping us by doing one. Thanks everyone. P.S. Starts in about an hour. Right now, though, Kevin is streaming Batman: Arkham City.

A "super Moon" will light up Saturday's night sky in a once-a-year cosmic show, overshadowing a meteor shower from remnants of Halley's Comet, the U.S. space agency NASA said. The Moon will seem especially big and bright since it will reach its closest spot to Earth at the same time it is in its full phase, NASA said. The Moon "is a 'super Moon,' as much as 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than other full Moons of 2012," it said in a statement. The scientific term for the phenomenon is "perigee moon." The Moon follows an elliptical path around Earth with one side, or perigee, about 31,000 miles closer than the other, or apogee. The Moon will reach perigee at 11:3…

sup - what's everyone been up to the last month or so? i see pk still playing diablo 3, but not much else happening. any particular time dat or the others are streaming during the summer? i know this heat wave has kept me out of the computer room for a few weeks now. just too damn hot to be pumping gpu heat into this small room . Other than the heat, hope everyone is enjoying the summer. stay cool and safe! edit - hey kev, still looking to do the 4-pack when torchlight 2 releases?

Sorry if I missed a post about it. I tried to do a forum search and couldn't find anything. Anyone going to PAX Prime 2012 this year?

So this is a bit of a humble brag but I am going to be gone next week on a 7 day Caribbean cruise with my wife, not that I post alot any way but I am real excited to go, we just signed up for the cruise last week so its pretty short notice. I will post some pics when we get back

Now I have to go.

I was an iPad hater for awhile but now I sort of want one. Not to feed into the Apple hype or to look like a trendy D-bag on the train .. but after reading most of Stephen Fry's review and seeing that Marvel Comics demo I think I could get a lot of use out of this thing. I already subscribe to Marvel's Digital comic library, and I think I heard that Hulu will be available on this thing eventually .. so yeah .. I'll likely invest in either the 2nd or 3rd gen of this thing. Any one else?

Like I told PK privately, I had an awful day yesterday. I had Jury Duty and the flu at the same time. On top of that I was forced to watch Rachael Ray on TV. Also my HDTV broke! lol. It's at Best Buy being repaired, no Xbox for me for a while. So basically it ain't a good week. When I got back I had a little package in my mailbox. Pink Panther cartoons from my ATC family. Woot! It made me feel great. Since I'm having a baby boy in Sept, I'm going to save these and watch them with him! You guys are awesome! Thanks to all who were involved in this little treat. PK said there were lots of people chipping in. That was very cool. I had no idea it was on TV from 1964 to 1980

http://gamercide.org/?p=1414 Spread the word. Feel free to Twitter it, message it to your friends, whatever. Just share the love peoples.

So I was going through some gaming forums and found numerous threads pointing out that they found the game offensive. The main complaint was the death sequences of the main character, which appears to be a small boy. There are also images of what appear to be other children hung by their necks. Now, I don't agree that the game is offensive, per se, but I could see where some could be offended by the imagery. I want to get your thoughts. What do you think, offensive or no? {This should go without saying, but don't start any arguments or I'll kill the thread. Be nice!!}

Just a friendly reminder that you only have until this Saturday to get your entries in to win Plants vs. Zombies for the PC.

It's article time! I'm going to be doing an article on Gamer Stereotypes and would like some opinions from all of you. Remember, your gamertag will be tied to your opinions in the internet forever! So, what do you guys think? Are stereotypes correct, are they a big deal to you, do you think fall under a gamer stereotype, etc.... Spanks in advance for you input!

I figured this was the most appropriate place to post an older game review, depanding on the reception I'll probably write some more. Either way, enjoy my review of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, for the Gamecube For years I had played the Need for Speed series, waiting for the day that the good ol’ people at EA would create (in my opinion) a better Need for Speed than the 2nd on the original Playstation. Well that day almost came in the form of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. While I’m sure many will say my view of Most Wanted is jaded by the graphical short coming on the cube, I really couldn't have cared much about how the game looked compared to other systems of it's time…
