I got the fever for the flava...

Plus, Mrs. Coxxorz returns tomorrow.

Haven't you always secretly (or not so secretly) wished that "Crotch Shots" were worth extra points? Or even worthy of an achievement? I mean why should Head Shots get all the glory? Look at the size of the average terrorist head, compared to their nads. It's huge! Much harder to send Mendoza's men packing with a surgical strike to their nether regions. Not to mention far more painful.

MoriceRevek and Blackwalt are positively giddy!

Read the full press release at Namco Bandai Games.

But for now... "players will be able to control six unique armies – the Empire, Chaos, Skaven, High Elves as well as the all-new Dark Elf and Orcs & Goblins forces."

Orcs and Goblins and Skaven! Giddy, I tell you, Giddy!

"What's the hurry?"
"This is supposed to work!?!?"
"Gawddam, this is hard!"
"The clients keep interrupting."
"I'm not paid enough for this!"
"Just a few more seconds, what's the hurry?"
"Bathroom break, be back in 30 minutes."
waaaaahmbulance, I swear ....

OK, when you invoke Image Assist, and you select an image, make sure you keep "Not a URL" and then select a size to display. It will select thumbnail by default, which might not be what you wish.

All this together will permit you to display an inline image in your post/blog.

... must suck.

"Hurry!"
"Why doesn't this work?!?!"
"Gawddam, how hard could it possibly be?"
"My clients are calling!"
"I pay you too much!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"I will be in the bathroom if you need me..."
waaaaahmbulance, I swear ....

Rainbow Six Vegas.

Co-op Terrorist hunt. Look for Coxxorz and Blackwalt online around 10:00 tonight. I'll stop before midnight, Coxxorz will being fighting until sunrise. What can I say? He's more dedicated than I am. And also his wife is out of town...

Ok, so maybe that's overly dramatic, but my XBOX 360 replacement shipped today! (insert little girl screech). I will laugh as I step over your charred remains in the near future. (here Patrick ... come out and play!)

I know, I know, not hard.

But its previews were off the charts, its demo had everyone raving. Bill f***ing Harris said "I was looking forward to this game very much until I played the demo. Now, it's gone from "very much" to "fevered."" Fevered! As Snuffy D and Coxxorz know, I usually listen to Bill F***ing Harris.

BUT... and its a pretty big BUT... it breaks the cardinal rule of Xbox 360 gaming – NO MULTIPLAYER. So what is an HoC member to do?

Not just no co-op multiplayer, but no multiplayer period. Read more
