ok, the dude that killed all those folks at that beer plant......they're arresting people. one lady is charged with sixth degree larson for taking beer off his truck, but he gave it to her. in fact, that's why he was fired and shot the place up. this other guy is arrested for undermining the peace or something. he said he understands why the guy did what he did. true, that's a messed up thing to say, but arresting him? i'm confused.... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/08/06/police-man-arrested-conn-company-saying-understood-mindset-shooter-killed/?test=latestnews

Hey guys haven't really been around much but I'm working on being more active with the forums and such. I have been dealing with a lot real life stuff so I'll jump back into gaming soon. At the moment I don't really have a console and its a hard choice for me deciding on the Xbox one or the PlayStation 4. If you guys could give me some closure that would really help me out. I can say I saw that the witcher 3 wild hunt has been released and I'm really interested. Been watching some streams but I do not wanna spoil it too much . I normally don't look at a games trailers, gameplay , or any of the such. I just pop it in and judge it from there. The big problem with a lot of p…

Exciting news for all of you Monday Night Combat fans out there! As promised, Uber Entertainment has detailed the upcoming free “Spunky Cola Special” DLC for their Xbox Live Arcade smash hit which will be made available sometime “in November“. In addition to a couple new maps, Uber is tweaking classes, re-arranging existing maps, adding more voice comments for the hilarious announcer Mickey Cantor, added clan tag support, took cues from Modern Warfare’s Prestige options by adding the all-new “All Star” feature, dangled a super tasty new pickup under our collective noses and much, much more! I have to admit, it’s a ridiculous amount of changes for an already amazing game, …

It seems like every new game I've played recently has had several game breaking bugs that happen to enough people that they should clearly have been caught during testing. These games for me include Super Meat Boy (can sometimes get duplicate bandages, resulting in the game no longer saving until you reload, which could make you lose entire chapters. Not that bad of a bug if you know to make sure the autosave logo is still popping up, though), Fallout New Vegas (I haven't even tried it yet from all of the horrible bugs I've heard of) and Fable 3 (Jasper the butler no longer talks, which takes away about 40% of the humor and prevents me from hearing any important informa…

Come on guys!

“Unfortunately, the circumstances didn’t allow us to make a 360 exclusive,” stated Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon in a statement to Eurogamer regarding the question that left many wondering why the Xbox 360 did not get an exclusive character like the Playstation 3 version did with one of Sony’s most recognizable characters, Kratos from the God of War series. With the tight lippedness that is going on around NetherRealm Studios many are speculating that NetherRealm wanted to include Master Chief or Marcus Fenix however their contract with Sony regarding the exclusive Kratos has some underlying terms about what the term “exclusive” meant or that Microsoft wants to add an ico…

Today was a wonderful day to be a Mage, and to make me seem less crazy. I woke up and decided it was time to play some Morrowind. After a couple hours and a few bowls of Cookie Crisp, I thought I'd play Oblivion. Both great games, both great stories. However, Morrowind had so much more to do than Oblivion. When I ask my neighbor which he prefers, he says Oblivion and laughs when I tell him I think Morrowind is better. So I decided I was going to make a list of the differences in both games. Morrowind: More Join able Factions (The Morag Tong, House Hlaalu, House Redoran, House Telvanni, East Empire Company, Tribunal Temple, and the Vampire Clans, Aundae Clan, Berne Clan,…

Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died.

California scientists have found a way to see through another person's eyes. Researchers from UC Berkeley were able to reconstruct YouTube videos from viewers' brain activity -- a feat that might one day offer a glimpse into our dreams, memories and even fantasies. "This is a major leap toward reconstructing internal imagery," said Jack Gallant, professor of psychology and coauthor of a study published today in Current Biology. "We are opening a window into the movies in our minds." Read the rest in the link below http://abcnews.go.com/Health/MindMoodNews/scientists-youtube-videos-mind/story?id=14573442

During the Conan O ‘Brien fiasco, Microsoft made an attempt to get the late night comedian to do shows for Xbox Live, however Executive Producer Jeff Ross revealed that Microsoft really did not show any plans for what they planned to do with Conan and instead signed with TBS. “A lot of the conversations were ‘well, it’s a show, but it’s not a show and there are no breaks, but maybe there are breaks and it’s not 60 minutes, it’s this’ and nobody really knew what it was,” Ross told Morris. “So it was really going to be a leap of faith to jump in with these guys and figure something out which we didn’t know. Plus there were 100 people of jobs and that didn’t bode well f…

Have an awesome birthday weekend, Avahra! Love ya xoxo

So I'm used to seeing Google. I've seen Alexa hanging out. Heck, once or twice I even saw Ask Jeeves (LoL). But today I see that "Facebook" is now checking out our site.

I found this fascinating. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-09-11/why-obama-doesnt-give-speeches-from-the-oval-office We have been trained so well.

We should. I'm dying to see if cable or network news will soon be airing similar segments. Doubtful, though!

It's an open platform free of any paywall restrictions *xbox live - PSN*.

A 36-year-old man who had tracheal cancer has received a new lab-made windpipe seeded with his own stem cells in a procedure in Sweden they call the first successful attempt of its kind, officials said Thursday.
