IGN: Black Ops, Loadout of the Pros
I don't think we'll ever be good at Black Ops but IGN is trying to help
- ...there's definitely a learning curve when it comes to online multiplayer. That's where the pros come in. These guys are arguably the Top 5 players in the world and they use a very specific loadout to win matches on a global scale.

Why was I banned - 2
Saw this gem on the site. Seems pretty innocuous enough, gamer logs into his buddies account to complain about being banned..... until you look at the gamer tag of the buddy that he used to log in.
So ...
When is HoC Movie Night?
Why Was I Banned?
The site Why Was I Banned? was recently pointed out to me by an HoC member, and I'm enjoying it so much, I think it should be a regular feature here.
Basically, it's excerpts from the Account Suspensions and Bans forum on Xbox.com, where the idiots come to beg or plead innocence of their various Code of Conduct infractions that got them suspended or banned. But more often than not, it's the Microsoft staff responses that contain the real gold.
So without further ado, here is the idiot of the week:
Delayed again – Duke Nukem still taking Forever
Just a six week delay this time but it's still funny
- After 15 years (and six short weeks) the King is almost back!
"I'm very sorry for the added delay. We've all been working extremely hard and are very eager to deliver the game to you," added Pitchford. "I've been thinking of these lyrics from the great country song, 'He's The Duke' - 'He told us if we waited we could Come Get Some, but I never knew Forever was going to be so long.' If you're like me, June cannot come quickly enough."
Official Take Two Press Release.
It's worth watching Randy Pitchford's statement through YouTube. Available after the jump.

Our thoughts are with you and your family, buddy, and we dedicate this night to you all.
Rebecca Black - Friday (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
I apologize in advance
So the latest (one of) the internet Memes going around is Rebecca Black's cover of Friday. It is criticized as being autotuned and as being one of the worst performance's ever.
Admittedly it isn't good but it is better than any of mine and Stormblade's Polka Duet's (all evidence destroyed by popular demand).

Kinect For the Blind
I agree pretty damn cool. Though they should probably reduce the size slightly, not that blind person could see what they look like. Maybe they would care.

What We've Learned From Zombie Movies
"Shotguns used in 75% of all outbreaks." I keep telling you guys that shotguns are the anti-zombie weapon. Except for Graybush whose accuracy deteriorates drastically as soon as he gets one in his hands. Headshot with a pistol from 100 ft away? No problem. 10 ft away with a shotgun? That's one safe zombie.
