Okay, both of you

Keep in mind who the other admins are while you judge me...

By our standards, it was unanimous.

Ruffian Games Creative Director Billy Thomson defends his design choices

Crackdown 2: Why's It Got to Be Like That?

Why this? Why that? After playing Crackdown 2 for about an hour, I walked away with all these questions about some of the design decisions that went into this July Xbox 360 release. Why did the developers do this? Why didn't they do that?


Good thing Ruffian Games Creative Director Billy Thomson was on hand to address my queries.

This is just ... um ... wow.

If nothing else, he is random

So yesterday I abused Coxxorz for his help in Call of Duty Zombie Mode and as some pointed out in the comments, I wasn't telling the whole story.

It's almost like I had a followup story planned.

So, on a totally separate note, after our Level 8 Travesty we chose to play one more round of Dir Riese.

Anyone?

So occasional I order things from Amacon.ca. Nothing unusual or illicit. The plain brown wrappers are purely coincidental.

Amazon has this policy of using resellers, which I don't really like, but I admit it is good for finding older and unusual items.

I didn't really look too closely at the name of this provider until the package arrived at my door.

I am guessing they are too small to be sued? Maybe they thought of it independently? Maybe it's just a random coincidence and I am seeing something that isn't there?

I showed it to a gaming co-worker and he had to look at it twice to realize what was wrong. The logo is that similar.

For those of you who care (and this is perhaps the only thing Swag and I agree on), the World Cup starts tomorrow. This is the World Cup, not some slimy impostor like what the IIHF attempts to push on us once a year.

Harmonix has announced the addition of a keyboard in Rockband 3. This means Q-Bert can now participate in RB sessions without having to sing.

Trust me, this is a vital addition.

Thanks. Really.

You all remember our issues with Zombie Block.

Dr. Coxxorz to the rescue!

Well, no, not really.

A turtle story.

Check out the easter egg on Google. Type World Cup in the search, and scroll to the bottom.

I couldn't let this one go by without sharing. That would be cruel.

Normally I would leave the stupid movie clips to Swag, but this one is both entertaining and well done (unlike most of said movie clips (JCVD anyone??)). Enjoy.

Red Dead Redemption HoC Journal entry #2

So we have been playing Red Dead Redemption since it first came out but I haven't really been talking about it since Swag hijacked took over the site. Don't worry, I saved pictures.

So here we go.

You ALL have Red Dead Redemption by now, right?

Wait! It is!
