General Discussion

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?

I haven't seen you in FOREVER but

WOW! If this turns out to be true, I think some heads will be rolling at Acti/Blizz. That is just uncalled for. [source - DiabloIncGamers]

It recently came to my attention that Sony recently shut down Psygnosis studios (which was currently known as Sony Liverpool). This REALLY gives me a huge case of teh sads. So many games from my past (many of which a bunch of you young-ins have probably never even heard of) came out of this place. They had been making games for almost thirty years now. They were also responsible for creating one of the HARDEST games I've ever played. Shadow of the Beast. More specifically the NA Genesis version. (due to some sort of issues with the normal refresh rates of televisions between Europe and NA, the NA version ran almost 17% FASTER than normal. Combine that with NO cont…

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

Hey man! Enjoy your birthday today!!

The new Resident Evil 6 is getting frigging SLAMMED in the reviews today. I don't mean "Oooo, it got an 8 so it must be bad" sort of slammed which is the norm for supposed AAA titles. I'm talking like ~69 average on Metacritic, with "popular" sites like Joystiq and such giving it a 50/100. Even Gamespot gave it a 4.5. Yeah, the game sucks, and I knew it was going to happen. Call me a purist for the series if you want, but back when I was "reviewing" games I absolutely destroyed Resident Evil 5 when I wrote it up. I hated almost everything about it, I loathed the direction the series was taking, and I gave it an equally shitty score to reflect that sentiment. For a gen…

Haven't seen you in a while but happy birthday nonetheless!

Happy b-day man I will nuke something in your honor today. Have a great day!

Worth a read, even in its amended form. If anyone can find the original article, uncensored, please post it here. http://www.eurogamer...able-of-doritos *correction* Writer wasn't fired. He stepped down due to his writing being edited/censored.

G4's two longest-running and defining series, Attack of the Show! and X-Play, will be ending their run at the end of 2012. Both shows will include original episodes through the end of the year, and will look back at theirmost memorable moments as we lead up to their final episodes. A rotating lineup of guest co-hosts including John Barrowman, Michael Ian Black, Josh Myers, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel and Horatio Sanz will join AOTS hosts Candace Bailey and Sara Underwood, and X-Play hosts Morgan Webb and Blair Herter as part of the farewell shows. With well over a thousand episodes each, Attack of the Show! and X-Play have defined gamer culture for a generation, serving as th…

Riots, fires, etc. I remember when I lived in the East Bay and the A's swept the SF Giants. There weren't any riots. Just parades with broomsticks (swept the series). Now we have dumbasses stacking recycling bins, couches, cars, etc and lighting them on fire in the streets. Retarded. Your team won, which is a good thing, and you go and show your support by doing terrible things. Makes so much sense.

Also check out this collection of images from Sandy http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2012/10/hurricane-sandy-after-landfall/100396/ I hope everyone's staying safe on the East coast. Let us know you're doing okay, please.

Bringing back an oldie

Came across this on Twitter and the person who tweeted it, was proud his daughter had failed it. I know more than a few females who enjoy military FPS' and LEGO. Why are we limiting our children, or teaching them that they shouldn't be liking something? I like to cook. Guess that makes me a girl. Good job, American Education. P.S. Kudos to his daughter for making extras spaces to include both girls and boys for so many categories.

I love Dark Souls, and now I love the game and it's director Hidetaka Miyazaki even more. I just read an article about something that definitely made me laugh. When the game was first coming out Miyazaki gave an interview to Famitsu magazine. In the article they were discussing some of the "starting items" you can select when you create a character. Most of these have clear descriptions of what they offer as a bonus, but one mysterious item listed was a subject of discussion for a long time now. The Pendant. Miyazaki in the interview commented that for him personally he'd take "the pendant or nothing at all". This sent the internet into a frenzy for quite a while. Wh…

Microsoft filed for, and was approved, Patent #20120278904. What is this patent? It's titled "Content Distribution Regulation By Viewing User", and it wants to turn you Kinect against you. Short form is this. Your Kinect is a camera. Microsoft wants to be able to use that camera to be able to analyze how many people are present in your room, how old they are, and possibly other info to be able to take "remedial action" for whatever reason. I imagine this may be with the intention of good things, like say recognizing a 7 year old boy and not allowing them to watch the unrated version of Hot Tub Time Machine on Netflix, but the scope of description within the patent see…

Camacho, 50, was gravely injured in a drive-by shooting in Puerto Rico on Tuesday night. Torres said Camacho suffered a heart attack early Wednesday, worsening his condition, and at one point his heart had stopped. Torres said an initial test showed Camacho had a low level of brain activity and two more tests were being carried out. "We are keeping him alive with medicine. He is a strong guy," he said. "We can maintain him several days like this to see if there is an improvement. Macho's situation is very delicate. The prognosis is very poor," Torres added. The boxer's mother, Maria Matias, arrived in Puerto Rico and was discussing Camacho's medical condition with doctors…
