Living proof Linux is evil

By Stormblade - Posted on 15 January 2009

We all knew it, especially with Noir's constant ramblings, extolling its virtues, but now there is actual proof of the evil that is Linux.

It is now obvious that there is only one operating system available to those of us looking for freedom and enlightenment - OS X.

In an Xbox 360 kind of way

So as previously discussed I ordered an Xbox live membership card.

It arrived Tuesday and I went to install it Tuesday evening. Simple enough. Turn on my Xbox 360, go into my account, redeem code. Read more

Swag's cool movie: The Wrestler

By Swag - Posted on 14 January 2009

Yes, it is that time again. While only a select few of you were smart enough to see JCVD, I now present a movie that will probably appeal to more people. Some of you may have heard of this movie already, like how Mickey Rourke just won a Golden Globe award for best actor.

The Wrestler

No, it's not a sports movie.

It's also by one of my favorite directors, Darren Aronofsky!

Request: Burnout Paradise

By Swag - Posted on 14 January 2009

We needs it. We wants it!

I have looked at Future shop (they don't have it), best buy (30$, but out of stock), amazon (don't have it), and ebay (this looks best, but right now there isn't anything good).

If anyone wants to sell their copy, let me borrow it, know of a good deal, etc, then please let me know.

Sad News: Ricardo Montalban dead at 88

By Swag - Posted on 14 January 2009

Yes, we all know him as the actor on "Fantasy Island" and especially "Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan" (one of my favorite movies of all time).

I'm somewhat surprised that this hasn't been posted yet.

Rest in Peace.

What game should I choose to PWN y'all in?

Frankly, Halo 3 is starting to wear a little thin... and after only 2 years of continuous play!

I need a new game. Tea-bagging MUST be allowed. It's expected of me.

You suck so much I typed it twice!

Play guitar!

Side by side Rock Band 2 guitars: Replacement, left and original, rightSide by side Rock Band 2 guitars: Replacement, left and original, rightNow complete with working fret buttons

Let me give you some good advice young man
You better learn to play
[Rock Band] guitar

– John (Cougar) Mellencamp

Okay so this may come as a shock to all of you but my Rock Band 2 guitar came without a working fret button. The first one, the green one, the "A" button. It made most of my songs a little sparse as virtual musicians appear to rely on it heavily.

Fortunately Rock Band 2 guitars have a second set of frets lower down on the handle, stick part. Solo frets is what they are called (during solos you can just press these frets and you don't have to strum).

Nintendo Saved Christmas

By Swag - Posted on 12 January 2009

Yeah, that's right.

It's been a while since I posted any good Nintendo news, hopefully I don't sound like too much of a hypocrite (I have a Nintendo DS too btw).

"Nintendo Wii and DS software unit and dollar sales will account for over 50 percent of all games sold in December," Divnich says. "Without these sales, the industry would have likely felt the full wrath of the recession."

Review: Atlantic Inc.'s JamStand

By Blackwalt - Posted on 12 January 2009

A Rock Band storage device that does exactly as advertised

Manufacturer photoManufacturer photoProduct: GameKeeper JamStand (2 guitar stands, 1 mic clip for Rock Band)
Manufacturer: Atlantic, Inc.
Cost: $49.99
Purchased from: Zellers

And yes, I used my official Sputnik camera again.

I wasn't really planning on assigning a high review score to a gaming storage unit. It seemed weird to give a high rating to a stand but I was impressed by one thing about the JamStand. It does exactly what it says it will.
