IT'S ROSE'S BIRTHDAY! Happy Birthday, Rose!!!

I know most, if not everyone, likes the Reaper design and would like to keep it as it. I don't, however, have a good version of the file that I can use for some of the ideas and projects that I want to do. With that said, I have lined up a graphics artist that works in the industry and is willing to do a redesign/update for us. They guys at Hyperduck recommended him and he worked with X10 Studios on A.R.E.S. I think he will do a great job for us. Now I need your assistance. I'd like a few ideas and maybe a few donations to cover some of the cost for the redesign. I'd like to get something done that all of us like and that we can use for special gifts/prizes. I thi…

http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-xbox-labels-autistic-child-01252011,0,5767271.story FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate sensationalist stories like this. The kid cheated. Even Stepto had to get involved and confirm that there were illegally obtained achievements, but the above news story makes it seem like Microsoft is TEH DEVIL!

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…

An attack on Sony’s PSN has not only angered Playstation owners at the thought of their credit card information being comprimised, but also Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal who sent a letter to Sony’s CEO, Jack Tretton demanding to know why Sony failed to report to users on April 20 when the attack happened instead of waiting for a week to pass by before users were notified of the data privacy breach. “April 26, 2011 Mr. Jack Tretton President and CEO Sony Computer Entertainment America 919 East Hillsdale Boulevard Foster City, CA USA 94404 Dear Mr. Tretton: I am writing regarding a recent data breach of Sony’s PlayStation Network service.

So the whole Osama is dead topic is quite frankly a downer for me So I said I'd start this one since I think it is more positive. So the thing I have always admired about America is NASA TBH. I watch pretty much any documentary to do with NASA I also love the research into new technologies the military does but not its ultimate use in combat. But so much good tech comes from that research that I love looking it up from time to time So whats your favorite thing about America?

Congress is voting today on SOPA. If you have a moment, you should take five minutes and call your Congressional representative now! Here is a VERY easy way which practically does everything for you. http://engineadvocacy.com/voice/ Enter your name, phone number and zip code and the site will automatically call you and connect you directly to the Congressional switchboard. When the operator answers, ask to speak to your local representative. They will ask for your zip code and connect you. You will probably get a secretary, but if you're lucky you may get to speak directly to your representative. Tell them to VOTE NO TO SOPA! Tell them to take a look at the Occupy Mov…

It looks like some specs from both new consoles from Sony and Microsoft are hitting the net. Xbox State of the art 16-core IBM Power PC CPU with a graphics processor on par with AMD's Radeon HD 7000-series graphics cards Playstation Custom chips based on AMD's A8-3850 APU and Radeon HD 7670 GPU With those in mind, what exactly are your thoughts on a new console? Are you ready to jump right in, or have you contemplated switching to PC gaming? Do you think this current cycle is ready to be over? Do you think the games for these new consoles will go up in price? [Source of specs - CVG]

Here's a story for Springsteen's next ballad: A roofer in New Jersey took a dangerous dive into a vat of acid to save a coworker who had just fallen through a roof into the tank 40 feet below Read more here Absolutely incredible, It's amazing what some people will still do to save the life of another. I hope they eventually identify the man and give him the recognition he deserves.

So I noticed right under my name it said I had 0 warning points. What the hell is a warning point? Is it a spanking?

Thank you gamercide members and especially PK for helping me learn internet and computers. I thank him especially for teaching me to download more RAM.

I also learned to pause your game, just press Alt and F4!! Awessommeee. Pk also taught me that a nickname for my video cards is rusty trombone! How funny of a nickname! Anyway thanks for everyone being so nice!!! <3 Awwwww cute!!!!!!!

Representatives from Subway have confirmed in a response to an online petition that they will "eventually" stop using azodicarbonamide, a chemical found in yoga mats and shoe rubber, as an ingredient to make its signature breads. Without going into further detail Subway released the following statement, "The complete conversion to have this product out of the bread will be done soon," Vani Hari, an activist who rallies against the use of chemical ingredients in the hopes of forcing companies to use healthier choices, began the petition which currently sits around 60,000 signatures. The chemical is also currently used only in the American markets with European and A…

Simply put... Deadly Premonition >>>> Heavy Rain!!! It's the truth!

All pitched in and bought me a 360! I had to use gift cards and all but the purchase went smoothly enough. So I am now back online! Consider this your advance warning! lol

Play.com is reporting on the specifications of the Kinect, and that "this information is based on specifications supplied by manufacturers...". So yeah, it's probably real. Here is the kicker though. In the specifications is says that the Kinect can recognize and track up to 6 people, including 2 active players. WHAAA!?!? Really? So all those videos of families dancing around stupidly in front of their television are bogus because ALL of them aren't playing the games? Only two of them at a time? And the Kinect also only has the ability to map those two active players to Live Avatars? Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame! http://www.gamespot.com/news/6267556.html?tag=latestheadlines…
