Happy 4th of July everyone! Thanks especially to all those who have served and are serving in our military. Everything isn't going as well in this lovely country of ours as we may wish, but all we can do is stand up together to make it as it should be. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend with family and friends.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Kyle Orland. Kyle writes for popular gaming website like Gamasutra and Joystiq. Kyle thought it was necessary to write a help book about the hugely successful Zynga social game, Farmville. Speaking with Ars Technica, Orland describes why he feels that the world needs a “Farmville for Dummies” book. According to Orland, people who play Farmville do not play many video games and therefore need a book detailing how to a play a game that already practically changes your diapers, puts a bottle in your mouth, and teaches you how eat. “Sure, Farmville isn’t a particularly difficult game—it practically holds your hand in telling you how to play, and…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEALTHY!!!

http://www.thedutycalls.com/download.html Yes, Bulletstorm is officially taking on Activision with their release of "The Duty Calls". How long before Activision requests/forces them to remove it?

Happy New Year from the East Coast! Hope everyone has a great year!

Got a Visio 65 inch 4K tv watched a movie on netflix that was 4K and it was awesome, also picked up an Xbox one Master Chief collection and pre-ordered Star wars battle front, I mostly got the One because they are moving World Of Tanks to it this year, but now that Fallout 4 has been announced and Halo 5, I would have probably gotten one later this year anyway.

Happy birthday

That's right, HyperDuck performed magic once again. That's two years in a row, that our two friends won big at Dream. Build. Play. First place, two years running! That's $20,000 AND the game they did the music for, will be on an XBLA title! I'm especially proud of them and Extend Studios, since the field was ripe with talent. There was a nice group of contenders for sure. That's not a sleight on last years entries, either. They were good, too. Dean Dodrill, though, is a master craftsman. Dust: An Elysian Tale was an early favorite of mine, so maybe I'm a bit biased. Congratulations to our friends Chris and Dan, and also Extend Studios. Bravo, gentlemen. We all look forwar…

Was sent this by a fellow gamer, found it to be very interesting

Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys. May the day be great.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-23-rumour-project-milo-cancelled No surprise here since it's been rumored for a while now.. but it's clear that this entire project was vaporware from the get-go. Kind of sucks since I've never played Fable before. Was looking forward to an innovative new IP. Instead we get the same old crap.

What was speculation has now been confirmed by Major Nelson. Hulu Plus will launch tomorrow on Xbox 360 and for one week (Through May 6th), it will be free for all US Xbox Live users. That’s right, thanks to Jack’s Links beef jerky, everyone (Gold and Silver) will get to try it out for free. Now go mess with Sasquatch while watching SNL and The Simpsons.

Well, you've heard of the recent disaster with the flooding and the death (well no death) and the no room. Well, I hooked up the gaming PC and I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is it works! The bad news is I'm in the middle of the living room on a poker table with a plant in front of me. Oh well. It works! =]

Came across a tidbit of America's early history last night. Something that I had never heard of, and was never taught in school. This is why I'm making this post. I want to see if any of us, no matter what age (wider the range the better), knew about it before reading this thread. Please reply in this thread, if you have heard of the "Culper Ring" or were taught about it in school. Don't google it beforehand. If you were taught this in school, it'd more than likely still be in your memory. It's that bad ass. Thank you.

Developed by: Klei Entertainment Published by: Electronic Arts Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PC Players: 1, with 2 player local co-op Rated M (Mature) by the ESRB We gamers love violence. It’s a well known fact. So a game about a dude running around shanking fools and cutting them up with a chainsaw already has enough to appeal to the average hardcore gamer. But is it just an overindulgent cash in, or is it a finely crafted outlet for your murderous rage? As it turns out, it’s both. It’s a delightfully overindulgent outlet for your murderous rage. And it has a fairly good story as well. Sure it was published by EA and released for the usual $15, but the design behi…

Ubisoft has took to Facebook to announce the newest game in the Assassin’s Creed lineup. However it is up to you if you want to look at the reveal. Ubisoft teases the reveal on the offical Facebook page for Assassin’s Creed and only offers to show it if you hit the “like” button. Upon hitting the like button you are shown images that appear to be a very familiar assassin’s blade. Tweet This Post View the full article

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 …

Last week, RIAA CEO Cary Sherman confirmed that the country's largest ISPs will voluntarily roll out by July 1 a "graduated response" program aimed at discouraging unauthorized downloading. A Memorandum of Understanding published last summer outlines the program, which was developed without user feedback. Under the new system, a rightsholder accusing an ISP subscriber of infringment will trigger a series of ever-increasing consequences. The responses are graduated in the sense that they escalate after each accusation, beginning with steps aimed at educating users about copyright and culminating in the Orwellian-sounding "mitigation measures" -- bandwidth throttling or acc…

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

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
