And NOOOOO one has a thread wishing Siren Happy Birthday, so here it is, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIREN. Have a great day.

Friend did it today, what a way to end it. I've been with this kid almost day in and day out for two years, until the pass few months. Sadly, the most recent time I saw him was a gamestop and all we did was glare at each other, no words spoken. The last thing I said to him was "Are you still interested in buying my Nintendo Wii?" I got a response later on saying "I can't afford it thanks for the offer though." He jumped 48feet from a 4 or 5 story parking garage at the college we go too. Broke both ankles, both legs, and pelvic bone. Died from internal bleeding. Only 19 years old, less than a month older than me. RIP - Matt.

Mandyyyyyyyy, Maaaaaaaaaaandy! Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Go get some more work done on your Tat and have a great day!!!

Ended up picking this up, and i have to say it's definitely one of the better entries in many years now. Anyone else playing this right now? And videogame Kevin Spacey is totally creepy real looking in some of the cutscenes. I'm kind of blown away by the mocap.

Been a while so I don't know who's active or not. I know some have a discord server. How is everyone what games is everyone active on? Start a topic below , be great to hear from some of the Og's I came in contact with.

Happy birthday, mija.

One thing I can't do is forget about gamercide. I'm still here just dealing with ups and downs in life. How is everyone , hopefully well. Not too many games been catching my eye as I have been out for a while. Looking forward to jumping back on the wagon with Forza 7 . Let me know what you guys have been up to. I dwell for the conversation .

Mortal Kombat fans everywhere might not be saying “Finish Him” with their favorite characters from the fatality happy game, Mortal Kombat. Warner Bros. announced today that Best Buy, GameStop, and Amazon will be getting their own special editions of the upcoming Mortal Kombat. Both stores will have their own exclusive fatalities that you will not be able to get anywhere else, in game or at another store and the characters that it will effect are some of the most popular out of the Mortal Kombat series.. One of the fatalities that will only be available with Best Buy’s version is Sub Zero’s Spine Rip. You will also be able to get Sub Zero’s “Klassic Sub Zero” skin from B…

... don't let me down Sony .. I'm still a fanboy:D:D

So I picked the game up when it came out last Tuesday and have been playing through it on my PS4. While it's not a terrible game whatsoever, I just feel that the title absolutely does not live up to the expectations and hype that surrounded its prerelease. The game world does not feel very alive to me, in the same manner that titles like GTA felt very "organic" and living. It's hard to describe, but it feels stilted and shallow I guess? I'm also not a huge fan of the driving at all. It feels off to me. I have been enjoying the minigames myself. Spider tank is a real joy to play. The jumping flower psychadelic thing though is weird and difficult, and Cash Run f…

So I've been reading lately that Gamestop has been in talks about their pre-order business plans that would make this whole "exclusive content" shenanigans incredibly worse. Pretty much the idea is that Gamestop wants to move further into this territory by entering into talks with developers before the game even releases so that whole parts of the game are only available to people who pre-order and purchase through them. So we're talking much more than a weapon or character skin here. Oh wow! That new game-mode looks fantastic! Only available if you buy it at Gamestop. Etc, etc. Thoughts?

My roommate and friends have exams tomorrow so we are celebrating at home this year. Any of ya'll doing anything?

In a striking find, archaeologists in Guatemala report the discovery of a small building whose walls display not only a stunningly preserved mural of a brightly adorned Mayan king, but also calendars that destroy any notion that the Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012.

lol one look at the forum and I'm sure you've already come to this conclusion. http://www.mygamercard.net/ Wow, that really sucks. Definitely a service I took for granted.

Yay. I'm back in

happy birthday, America!

http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77&Lang=en Pretty interesting. They say that 1 out of 255 women, and 1 out of 12 men, have some sort of color deficiency in being able to determine colors. The test is simple. You are presented with a few lines of color blocks. You must arrange those color blocks in order so they fade and blend seamlessly into one another. Once you are finished, click the Score button to see how you did. A PERFECT score is 0, and the score will increase depending on how poorly you do. Considering the person who linked to this on MentalFloss.com, who claimed to be a "former Art student", scored a 38 on their first try I think I did pret…

So my neighbor's house got broken into and they have a boy who's 9 years old and who has issues. The thiefs took his DS and all of his games and he's been really upset since they've been stolen. He played his DS so much and it meant a lot to him. Part of the problem is solved, I gave him my DS but I only had one game because I never really played it that much. So, if any one has any extra DS games, that they were possibly thinking of trading in or something like that, that would be appropriate for a 9 year old boy, would you please be willing to donate them to this kid. Sorry I don't have anything to offer you in return but if I get something I'll be sure to send it your …

Okay. I know that I have been MIA for the longest amount of time. I've been working really hard with some friends about some business ventures. I can't really go into too much specifics since it's still a work-in-progress. All I can ask is that you imagine a lounge/bar with an eatery and has gaming consoles and computers for entertainment. I need the community's help in this. This is not a joke. This is a friend's dream on the line. I would like to know what everyone, specifically, would like to see in that place that would make them continue to be a frequent customer. Right now, the general consensus is that people would want: in-depth game coverages of tournaments, tou…

Woooooooo! Happy fucking birthday dude, for reals! Go have a kickass day!

This is what's going to happen to most of us, as Cloud features become more prominent, and Netflix usage increases. We will effectively be cut-off from the internet, with no recourse and zero alternatives for cable access, thanks to the Comcast monopoly. Read this article and start getting mad. The more people who are informed and tired of this, the better for us all. http://bit.ly/qKGjAs Fuck you, Comcast.

Did you guys hear about the Apple employee who was "field testing" the prototype for the new iPhone 4? It was even disguised as an iPhone 3GS to avoid any publicity. He was at a bar. Drinking. And left the bar, forgetting the super-secret iPhone he left on his barstool. Who was he unknowingly sitting next to? The dudes from Gizmodo. If you want to, you can check out the article on their site. But really, this dude is pretty much screwed. He'll probably get banned for life from Apple. /facepalm
