Never mind the CG, check the live hover test...

This article brought a smile to my face this morning, and I thought I would share it:

PS3 is a piece of crap

I thought of one of our pseudo clan members when I read this.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I am sure this doesn't effect any of us here. Well maybe Revek, Noir and Swag.

I am shocked!

Well, no, not really. I suspect making a profit was more important on Microsoft's list of things to do.

Apparently Microsoft knew about the Xbox 360's disc scratching problems well before the console was launched.

There are also allegations that the company considered and rejected three possible solutions to this issue before the console was released: the first solution would have increased the magnetic force of the disc holder was rejected because, "it would allegedly interfere with the mechanism that opened and closed the disc tray,"; the second would have required slowing disc rotation speed to 8x, but was ruled against because it would have apparently increased loading times; the final solution would have involved installing soft patches called "bumpers" (routinely used in other consumer optical disc drives), but was deemed too costly to implement at $0.50 per console.

Good News: Swag and Noir are right: Nintendo is the most successful console of the latest generation.

Bad News: There is money to be made on the system, but Nintendo seems to be taking the lion's share;... leaving other developers wondering how to cash in. Apparently, only Nintendo games are really selling.
Check it out.

Seriously, cancel the order

I know you guys love me and I appreciate that you were going to order me one. But no, it's too much.

And let's face it. Rolly is going to be pretty upset when I move it into his bedroom and double him up with Half-pint. Kids these days. They have it too easy.

...the APEX SC830 is designed for the training of professional racers and offers three degrees of freedom (roll 40°/pitch 25°/yaw 40°)

Well it has been a awhile since we have talked Heroes on this site. So here is the latest review for eps. 12.

Spoilers Alert, of course. Read more

Playing as 'Scourge of Humanity' (evil character) is loads of fun.
I now have a price on my head and everywhere I go there is some bounty hunter(s) trying to kill me.
People run away from me, or give up their loot begging for their lives of course I kill them anyway.
My favorite thing to do is when I 'rescue' someone take their crap and when they walk away thanking me I shoot them in the back of the head. Which BTW the 'Bloody Mess Perk' is well worth it.
And some of the speech dialog options are pretty amusing.

Thought that this might be interesting to some people on here.

On Coxxorz!...
On Stormblade!...
On Graybush!...
MUURRAHH!!!!

We should get together over the holidays for some sipping of eggnog, eating of treats, and fragging of Cliffside.

Such festive events like "be the meat shield" and the "one legged dance with Betty" are not to be missed.

Of course other than the craptacular COD5, we have gears 2 and left4dead so it won't be hard to find a game or 2 to play.

While it is a busy time for family etc., it would be cool to get in at least a night of gaming together - especially if stormblade will be "home for the holidays"... Read more

I heard this on the Radio last night...very cleverly done and written.

Not sure how long it's on sale, but Dell has the 12-month Xbox Live subscription card for $49.99, free shipping.

This should carry Snuffy through until the next time he plays online.

Funny that the "shittiest" console seemed to have DOUBLED it's sales during, yes it's true, black friday last month.

Over 2 Million sold. See for yourself

Oh and the DS sold 1.5 million.

It just doesn't have it

I can't help but agree with this Loot-Ninja column.

The overall online experience felt bland. It was just lacking something. I, personally, thought that the maps were either too congested or extremely over-sized; perks were a little too familiar (except those fucking dogs and the flamethrower, just to name a few); and the game play was a just a slower-paced CoD4.
