This is Snuffy D making a surprise appearance on the site

This is an image caught from my office webcam. I think he knew it was there.

Bunch of whiney, wacko, conspiricists

And it's not us!

These guys are boycotting Left 4 Dead 2 under the "theory" that it isn't a true sequel.

Sadly, they have a manifesto and, apparently way too much free time. And, worse, it's their second manifesto and it's been translated to multiple languages.

What's even odder to me is their protest site is hosted on a Valve owned community site! Really if you are going to protest something have the courtesy not to make the "victim" pay for your hosting.

I am going to be a Coxxorz for a minute.

Our trusty friends at whateveryouwant.ca have used copies COD4
($30)
and COD4 GOTY Edition ($35) they may only have one of each though.

This plan was a lot of work...

By Blackwalt - Posted on 06 June 2009

...but should be worth it

This may seem like a convoluted plan for revenge, but really, by our standards it's pretty tame.

It took me two and a half hours to disable all the Ambulances in the region but I did it! Now all I have to do is arrange a horrible accident for Stormblade. HAHAHA! Not fatal of course because I left all the coroner's gear working but requiring immediate medical attention. HAHAHAHA, try to get that now my friend!!! Just try! HAHAHA!

Minions riding wolves and killing gay elves. What else would you want?

K, so, downloaded the demo for Overlord 2 yesterday and finished it in 15 minutes. No, not much of a demo, but it gave a feel for what the game will be like.

Which is pretty much more of the same, but much prettier. Read more

Future Shop dumping some Xbox 360 games at $9.99

By Blackwalt - Posted on 05 June 2009

One of them is even good, maybe two

This is usually Coxxorz's thing but I suspect he is still asleep.

Today's Future Shop flyer has quite a few Xbox 360 games priced down to $9.99. While most of them are old, quite a few review in the 70% range. One in the 90's (Mass Effect), one in the 80's (Dead Space), and one in the 60's that I would recommend at the $9.99 price (Too Human).

The complete list that I could gather off the Future Shop website is after the jump along with the average review score from GameRankings.

So if you are interesting in any of these or just looking to pad your collection it might be worth a trip to Future Shop today. Moricerevek is already in his car, he didn't make it past the first paragraph.

Fine! Draw your own damn logo then!

By Blackwalt - Posted on 05 June 2009

Don't like it? You do it!

*UPDATE* All previous entries page available here. *UPDATE*

Unsatisfied with the new design? Pining for the days of old? (Last Friday) Who cares?

Time to take it into your own hands and put your money where your mouse is!

Design and draw your own Herd of Cats logo and submit it to the ultimate judge. Email your submissions to Half-pint at Halfpint{stupidemailsymbol}herdofcats.ca and prepare to be harshly judged. Cat litter or cat-nip? Only Half-pint knows.

It's back!

Back to the old (new?) time slot. I'm thinking something we haven't played in a while. Rainbow Six Vegas? CoD4? CoD3? Arrive early and you can decide.

Moricerevek brings it on himself.

By Blackwalt - Posted on 04 June 2009

It's like he has an aura

Clearly, it's a car.Clearly, it's a car.Now I don't bad mouth my friends or mock them openly around Rolly. Except Stormblade obviously. I prefer for Rolly to form his own opinions.

So earlier this week Moricerevek came to visit. Everything was fine. Rolly was insistent on showing off every toy he had within reach. And Revek was taking it well and politely.

One of the last toys Rolly showed Revek was a Hot Wheels vehicle. Revek pronounced that it was nice and took it from Rolly's hands.

Rolly looked him in the face and enunciating very clearly and very slowly said "It's ... a ... car."

Only 10 reasons?

By Blackwalt - Posted on 04 June 2009

Didn't notice #5 at all. Nope... nope... nope...

Viva Piñata?

This write up works much better here...

While originally inspired by Stormblade's purchase of Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, this comic truely came about from reading a Garfield cartoon. Sad but true.

It also under went significant changes and revisions due to the site outage. I think it's better for the delay but who really knows.

Oh My God! Absolutely classic.
