Herd of Cats

I cannot believe that I'm the first one to post this one here:

I use a Nyko Gameface 360 to personalize my Xbox 360. And it works pretty well although I don't use any of their software to create my faceplates.

Here is the new one:

You'll have to guess what game its themed after.

So, I am reduced to this: agreeing with Stormblade. Read more

I purchased a Logitech "S530 Mac wireless keyboard and mouse" roughly 2 years ago.

At that time, one would just install the Logitech Control Center and things would pretty much work. I was happy.

I come across this ad, which does nothing but confirm that Nintendo still milks the most tired and boring gaming franchise in history to sell their inferior products.

And since we are regularly informed by the non-gamers on this site how the Wii outsells other consoles, it just confirms for me once again my long-term belief that the world is full of stupid people.

It took me a while to track this story back to the original posting.

Here's a excerpt:

在新世代遊戲機市場方面，由於HD（高解析度）DVD即將停產，原支持HD DVD陣營的微軟，除宣布停產Xbox 360外接的HD DVD，內部也亟思新款機種的調整，除日前調降Xbox 360主機售價，並將目標放在下半年推出新的藍光機，與新力PS3對決。新機種對Xbox 360後續市占率具指標意義；但因市場仍有庫存，新機種的出貨數量，將視市場反應逐步增加。

And yes, it is big, thank you. Thank you for finding it Blackwalt and thank you for letting us know. Read more

i thought that this site was going to be used for something cool, other than making fun of people. Can't we all just put down our crak...controllers and go see a summer movie?

This man is coming to town:

Father narrowly escapes

Young boy trapped in play structure: Wild birds lured in by food discarded by squirrels (note the bird feeder)Well, in my defense, I had to sneak away to get the camera so that I could blog this...

Yes as Rolly and I were playing in his new play structure we heard a tremendously loud flurry, a thundering flutter of seemingly thousands of wings as we were descended upon by a flock of wild birds in a scene not unlike Alfred Hitchcock's Birds. "AIIIIEEEEE" screamed Rolly jumping the rest of the way up ladder into the safety of his father's arms. His father gasped in surprise at the nearness of this bird encounter and slowly peered around his son to see what visions of horror had invaded his backyard.

Better than the paper version

Yes google maps now covers Liberty City. So now you can get your directions and information about GTA4 online.

Seriously, where next?

Rockstar has a quick response to whether we should return our PS3 copy of the game for an Xbox 360 version

Random PS3 pic: Cause if I'm putting a PS3 pic on the site there has to be something else involved to justify it. -Thx blizzmaxVideogamer has a story on Rockstar working "around the clock" on PS3 GTA 4 fix.

You noticed that part about it being the PS3 version, didn't you?

Videogamer was also given some tips on how to combat the freezing experienced on the PS3 version of the game, including:
• Completely remove the game from the system but leave saves behind. [Reinstall, reinstall, reinstall]

I was sent this clip by Karloff today, and just had to share it with you guys. The quality isn't the greatest, as it's an amateur video, but I have to warn you, it's still plenty disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.

And only a little blood spilled

Some judicious applicantion of my claws, a bite here and there, and some screaming like a little girl, "ow, ow, ow, let go, let go! Not there... noooo! I'll fix it, I'll fix it!!!"

Not my screaming of course.

And while I can't guarantee the lessening of GTA4 coverage, at least we aren't slapped in the face each time the site reloads.

Let me know if we got it all. My claws are still sharp.

Since this is our evening plans

Backwards Compatible is warning us about back to back Iron Man viewing/Grand Theft Auto Playing causing an excess of "teh awsumm."

No idea what this means but I am assuming it's bad.

Since this is exactly what Coxxorz, Hardw00d and Blackwalt are doing this evening, I am not looking forward to the consequences.

Addendum to Pilot manual: these things explode!

As we discovered last night. Playing GTA4 in a multiplayer mode called Hangman's NOOSE. Btw, N.O.O.S.E. is the acronym for Liberty City's S.W.A.T. There are a lot of them and they are well armed.

In Hangman's NOOSE you have to rescue a mafia boss from an airplane surrounded by N.O.O.S.E. A lot of N.O.O.S.E. We came up with a basic strategy. Get a chopper, fly chopper back to plane (where the other 3 team members are holding off the N.O.O.S.E. team), load AI boss into chopper, load team into chopper, fly away, fly away, fly. Oh, and dodge the N.O.O.S.E. choppers trying to shoot you out of the air. Simple no?

Another example of how GTA IV emulates real life, British style.
