Herd of Cats

More Lara Croft!

Originally spotted at Entertainment Weekly but I refused to use their embed code as it was mostly spam and self promotion. Promoting us however would have been fine.

I may have misspelled some of the words used in the title. Or most of them.

Official Skylanders SuperChargers: “Large and SuperCharged” Launch Trailer

Rolly insisted on going to EBGames to pre-order Skylanders SuperChargers today. He had lost track of its release date and was a little surprised when (after scoping out the Wii U section) he saw a bunch of Skylanders on display that he did not recognize.

Since Guba and I had already pre-ordered the game he was able to pick up his pre-paid copy immediately. I could sense just how grateful he was as he looked up an me and expressed all his feelings in two words:

"Home. Now."

There's an HoC LAN party going on now and I'm not at it. Anyone reading this site will have seen the drama (soap opera) unfold this past week. While I have no desire to rehash what led to this point, I do wish to clear the air a little regarding ethics in video games and their impact on my own moral compass.

Back in March 2015 Tomb Raider was also the free Games with Gold

The difference? This is the Xbox One version. However, since it is still Tomb Raider I used the same graphic.

Download the free Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. You should download this now. It is that good. I have played through both the original Xbox 360 version and the Xbox One version.

Shouldn't you all be in Graybush's basement by now?

After flooding the site with PSAs all week you think you could have remembered! Load your car up and get moving.

Despite the wording of the title Graybush would appreciate if you waited until 1:30 PM beofre banging on his door.

Assistant Commissioner Pierre Perron will be receiving a Member of Merit

The Order of Merit of the Police Forces Investiture Ceremony takes place today at Rideau Hall. The Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, will preside.

Assistant Commissioner Pierre Perron, M.O.M. is the Chief Information Officer at Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

More details available at the Governor General of Canada website.

Congratulations to all of the recipients being invested into the Order of Merit of the Police Forces.

So close I can almost taste it

And is it ever bitter, yuck, bleah, bleah, ptooie.

If you haven't R.S.V.P.ed it is probably time. Graybush, in Kanata, has rearranged his basement but there are limits. We are running through Live so introverts and individuals stuck in God's Country can attend virtually.

If you weren't invited send an email to Coxxorz and complain about it. It won't do you any good but he likes to read them out loud and laugh at them during our coffee runs.

I have included a vague list of requirements after the break.

Han Solo in carbonite mini fridge

Walmart will be selling a Star Wars: Battlefront Deluxe Edition which will include an official Han Solo 4 liter mini fridge.

While I am sure you no longer need it, today is the last day for the Best Buy deal

UPDATE: Microsoft release a system update for the Xbox 360 today. You should probably install that in advance as well.

Also by now you should have GTA V installed, all compatibility packs downloaded, and at least the single player tutorial completed.

But if you haven't there is still time to pick up GTA V Best Buy.

The test run went well (for us) last night.

Number 3! Sega Nite!

Now that you have installed GTA 5 and joined the Rockstar Social Club it is time for a dry run. Why not on our regularly scheduled Sega Nite! Yes Wednesdays. Yes that is today.

Let's earn some money, buy some weapons, and level up your character in advance of this weekend's LAN.

Der Riese, Black Ops, four players, Round 28

While we have reached Round 28 with four players before I think it was the World at War version and it was with Coxxorz.

I was the last one to join in and Stormblade made us switch to Der Riese. Two and half hours later it was well past my bed time. We will ignore the fact that it was a school night for someone else.

Based loosely on Coxxorz's attempts to run a cooperative, multiplayer LAN party where everyone can play in the same game.

Seriously Blackwalt, why did you not tell me about this?!?

Release date Sept 29.
