Herd of Cats

...well, for fun

Ouch: How long has that been there?

So this weekend I played the new Red Dead redemption coop missions.

I thought it would be an interesting change to play with different people than I normally do. You know, not you.

So instead, Ice and Huge.

After running around for half of a mission with a knife stuck in my back I realized that it was just like playing with you guys. Almost identical.

Meet the new guys, same as the old guys.

But it is so funny because it is true!

Yes, it's the 80's all over again.

I hope this one makes it in the HoC games :-)

Play it here

For those who haven't watched the series, I *highly* recommend it. A 5 minutes extract that I showed Revek had him pissing his pants.

... Not that it's particularly difficult to do so...

I know, I know.

But they appear in Twitter anyways when you push them in.

I have two more, so I will stagger those...

Well, it's as likely to not suffer from the RROD...

... except that Microsoft being who they are, rebranded the RROD:

Much nicer, no ?

In order to prevent a hardware failure for the console, a pop up message will appear on the television sets which will warn the user that the Xbox 360 slim is heating up and will enter in to shut down mode.

My new rig: jealous ?
One of the most impressive demonstrations at E3 2010 wasn't a game, and wasn't the 3DS (though that was pretty neat.) It was actually a little tech demo tucked away in the back of one of the halls that could completely change the way we see characters in games.

Does this one look like a G-string ?

Great artist has the patience of a saint. Check it here.

It's 30 minutes long... I don't even have the time to watch it completely, but the first 10 minutes are of great quality.

Ummm.... duh?

Not really sure if anyone is surprised by this but Ripten reports that Zombies are rumoured for Call of Duty: Black Ops based on an IMDB.com update.

the common collective just wanted Zombies back in the game. There has been no official word, but...

So some Clan Members phone me often. Some… do not

So when a certain clan member's name showed up on my call waiting my first thought was, "why the hell is he calling me?"

This made the lack of response on the phone more confusing.

My repeated "Hello?"s were ignored as was my piercing whistle. I heard nothing but a distant murmured conversation about amphibians? Maybe?

So I hung up. Something I am used to doing to certain clan members but it felt wrong here.

continuing to give some of you false hope

This is a parody of Kate Perry's I kissed a girl. I do know who Kate Perry is but I don't know the song so I have no idea how good the parody is. But it's still funny.

I'll borrow it from Moricerevek sometime.

...

Nevermind, Ice just offered me the opportunity to listen to it on his iPod.

What the? I only own 2 of these.

Yes, I know that Stormblade is not worth playing

22 games that didn't get great review scores, but are still worth playing.

They might not have bagged themselves scores from the higher end of the review scale, but all these games have something to offer. Especially as a rent or bargain-bin purchase.

It gets confusing, try to follow along

So if you follow the COXXORZ RANDOM DEAL OF THE DAY you will have noted Assassin's Creed 2 for $20 until Canada Day at Best Buy.

Now I had played Assassin's Creed 1 and kind of enjoyed it. But not enough to buy the game. Assassin's Creed 2 got stellar reviews and reportedly fixed all the issues with Assassin's Creed 1. This intrigued me, but not enough to pay the $69.99 price. Or even Future Shop's current price of $39.99.

I think you can learn a few things from this chimp

Seeing as tomorrow is Canada Day, it seems like a good opportunity for some kind of tie-in with a good Canadian video game or one made by a Canadian developer, or a game featuring a war Canada was involved in. Read more
