A few hours before Ryan Davis passed away on July 3, he tweeted to me the words, "fuckin' AGONY" Ryan's signature on my PAX badge across 'THREE DAY" He had tweeted about how much it sucks having to wait for a package to be delivered, to which I replied that I had been waiting all day for three packages to show up. It was indeed a fairly agonizing experience, for I had lost an entire day of summ...
The last flying game I really enjoyed was Ace Combat 4 back on the PS2. I feel I should start this off by saying that Ace Combat 4 will forever be the best flying game I have ever played, which makes the fact that my copy doesn't work even more tragic. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy other flying games, however. IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey is one such game. It's the first game in this genre I...
Bodycount, developed by Codemasters and set to release on August 30, is a first person shooter that borrows some elements here and there from other first person shooters. Sound familiar? It should. In order to survive in today's competitive market, FPS games that derive some or many elements from others often need to either present those elements in better ways or put a unique spin on them. Dur...
In an attempt to take a break from sitting here obsessively listening to Eagles Of Death Metal and Russian music and getting nothing done in the process, I'm going to take a look back on the vidja games I've played in the past few weeks. Should you chose to continue reading past this point, you should do so after listening to that Russian song (I guess it's Russian?), for it is a rather incredi...
In between bursts of playing Persona 4 and Catherine and almost spending $300 on a sealed copy of Revelations: Persona because I'm an idiot, I've put over 10 hours into Final Fantasy XIII in a desperate attempt at finally finishing the game. I got it about a month after it came out and put 20 hours into it before hitting a brick wall that I could not pass. That brick wall was the boss fight Bar...
This guy was very angry at me. He really wanted the attack helicopter that I stole.
Play these two videos together at the same time. Oh my god.
Real Life L.A. Noire - watch more funny videos
Once in a while I find a real gem on YouTube. This is one of those gems. A parody of the Eminem song I'm Not Afraid that hilariously outlines everything that I dislike about Eminem.
As a fan of the TV show Survivor, this nearly had me in tears.
I thought it was pretty funny and worth sharing.
People demanded proof. Here's the proof. I present to you a video of the man who killed Osama Bin Laden.
For those that don't follow Drew on Twitter, here's the skinny. Him and Ryan are returning from their trip to Valve. This is apparently their gate number at the airport. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Penny Arcade Expo East 2011. It Happened. On Friday and Saturday I was fortunate enough to be able to attend PAX, and I must say it was probably the most amazing event I've ever been. Never before have I felt so, I don't know, comfortable in a place like this, you know? You just get this great feeling as soon as you walk in and realize that you share a common interest with everyone around you....
He's really glad you stopped by. Really, he is. It's that time of the week again! The time to release the Camel from its pen behind my shed and impregnate the Bloghara desert with my words. Or something like that. For the two or so people who actually care about my often times greatly flawed opinions, which themselves are often based on whatever insane mood I'm in at the time, I got a special t...
It's been a while since I hopped on to the saddle adorning the camel and took a road trip through the Blog-hara desert. In truth, I've spent much of my time the past few days playing Fallout: New Vegas, or rather, trying to play Fallout: New Vegas. But I'd rather not discuss the unreasonable amount of times that game has broken and frozen on me. Instead, I want to delve into this special little...
A recent blog by one JJ "The Weather Man" Weatherman reminded me that I once did one of those weekly blog shindigs for a while before I sorta fell outta the loop. But thanks to his inspiration, I have gotten back on my feet with a vengeance! Although I guess you could say that I was also indirectly inspired by those who inspired him, and also those who inspired those who inspired him. Oh boy. I...
When I wrote this blog, I was hoping there would be more gambling. So says Mr. NCR Trooper. Likewise, when I played Fallout: New Vegas , I was hoping there wouldn't be crazy amounts of dialog repetition. But alas, I guess I was expecting too much. Nevertheless, strange dialog repetition is a very minor issue when compared to some of the game's more egregious and flagrant issues, which I'll addr...
I'll be the first to blow you away with my amazing wish list for this upcoming Christmas: Assassins' Creed: Brotherhood Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Yep, that's it. It's even shorter than my list from last year , but it doesn't really bother me all that much. I've noticed that as I've gotten older, my view on Christmas has drastically changed. Ever since I first understood how great Christmas is...
So I downloaded the Dashboard update today. Here are my thoughts on it. Technical failures abound! It took me a good thirty minutes to actually download the update. I tried about 10 times in a row, restarted my Xbox, failed another 5 or so times in a row, tested my connection, perfect connection, restarted Xbox, tried again, failed, restarted, failed. Finally I switched to my dad's Xbox LIVE ac...
You heard it here first.
The idea for this blog is pretty old. During my brainstorming period that frankly lasted several weeks, I revisited Halo: Combat Evolved , got back into the groove in Persona 3 , and ate some weird mochi balls . Now, I believe I am ready to sit down and dedicate the next hour or so of my day to some in-depth writing about neither of those. Rather, I'll be looking back on my luscious experiences...
A friend of ours that delivers Chinese food to us recently took a trip to Asia, and when he stopped in Japan he picked up some of these..... things. I don't even know what they are. Frankly, the guy is so unpredictable that they might not even be from Japan. Only evidence that I have that it came from there is one of those wetnap things (the little moist towels) that has Japanese characters all...
So today I finished Perfect Dark, which I bought off the Xbox LIVE Marketplace shortly after it came out. Okay, well, I didn't completely finish it. But I think I'm on the last mission, and that's good enough for me because...... ...... Holy crap, this game is painful. Really, the only good thing I got out of it was the memories of Goldeneye 007 that came back to me as I played it. Now that I t...
So a few minutes ago, a bunch of cops arrived at a house across the street (well, across the street to our right) and shortly after six shots were heard. The thought that someone could be dying or dead just a few hundred feet down the road was pretty intense. We found out just a few minutes later that it was actually just a small animal (probably a raccoon) that likely set of an alarm in the ho...
I'm going to start over in Final Fantasy XIII I came to this conclusion strangely during a match of Bad Company 2. I was thinking about the game and the fact that I haven't played it in well over a month. A few months actually. The reason being is a boss that I was stuck on, and once I took a little break from the game to do other stuff I just never returned. Alright, let's take it from the top...
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 (very, very, very short) Part 5 Part 6 Part 7
In many ways, the multiplayer of Medal Of Honor is very familiar. If you've played Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2 , you've played this game. Developed by DICE, the multiplayer combines the animations (from reloading all the way down to the weapon bob) and graphics from Bad Company 2 with the fast paced gameplay and customization of Modern Warfare 2 . In a way, the lack of originality seems...
So I was originally going to write up another Gaming Update today but I was too busy editing the wiki. And besides, that blog would mostly consist of me ranting on Call Of Duty and Bad Company 2. Nobody wants to read that. But anyway, two years ago on this day I created this account. Since then I've become top poster and have accumulated over 23,000 wiki points. That's pretty awesome. So instea...
So today, I finally "finished" watching the Persona 4 Endurance Run. But the thing is, I didn't really finish it. I found myself skipping through lots of episodes that consisted of mostly combat or grinding. I skipped through fusing, I skipped through all the Naoto S Link convos (sorry Naoto, I love ya, but we got to catch the killer), I skipped through *some* story sequences. But I am satisfie...
In This Blog: Star Wars Battlefront 1 Guitar Hero Gears Of War and the stupid COG Tags Cold Fear (yeah, that game!) Just Cause 2 and the stupid Freeroamer 2 achievement! ( Because I'm too lazy to make a banner this time ) Hello. I'm natetodamax and for the past few weeks I've been helping carry boxes out of our old house and into our new one. And let me tell you, it isn't entertaining in the sl...
Hello fellow Giant Bomb citizens. I admit that I have been rather lazy with my contributions to Giant Bomb for a while now. No blogs, no reviews, no large wiki edits..... just me responding to random threads on the forums whenever I get a chance. I shall turn around this streak with the revival of my weekly (although I wouldn't be surprised if this turned into monthly again) blog about the stuf...
So something good actually came out of Last.fm the other day. I went to Queens Of The Stone Age radio and it played Fatso Jetson. I got aggravated and was all "Oh come on, what is this????" but actually started to like what I was hearing. Now this band is one of my favorites and wanted to know if anyone else really likes these guys. Cruel & Delicious is truly a fantastic album. Below is my favo...
My Xbox Gold Subscription expired a while ago, resulting in me playing hours upon hours of Oblivion and lots of Borderlands single player. Because of my lack of Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2, I have been playing these two games so much that I really don't feel like playing anything anymore until I go back to Gold. However, I have spent some time thinking about my PS2 sitting in my closet u...
[12:08:39 AM] Nathan Andrews: But Canada is a myth [12:08:55 AM] Nathan Andrews: You see, Canada is actually part of the United States [12:09:08 AM] Nathan Andrews: We just refuse to acknowledge that because the US doesn't like people that live up there [12:09:22 AM] DanielJW: Actually we're totally still ruled by Britain [12:09:41 AM] Nathan Andrews: No, Canada is the 51st state of the United...
For some reason I feel like writing down what went down in this extraordinary dream I had last night. I remember it so well......weird... First this! So in the state I live in tornadoes are rare but they can happen. The dream started out with me in school. Nearly the entire school and I were waiting outside for buses. It was extremely cloudy out. All of a sudden, a mother effin' tornado touches...
Please, make yourself known if you are here. You should be tossed off other sites for posting DICKHEADED remakes. If the topic does'nt suite you or does'nt PERTAIN to you, than you should keep your fucking mouth SHUT. Some of us rely on posts to make a living, your trash COMMENTS don't help. Imaturity is a bitch though, and you show enough of that! ASSHOLE if I could find you I would, believe m...
Wanted to post this on the forums for more to see, but wasn't sure if it would be Youtube spam (most likely would be). Not sure who made this, but I thought it was great. It is a compilation of Brad failing in combat. What makes the video even better is the absolutely amazing guitar version of the Whistle Theme playing in the background. Enjoy!
Since most people probably don't bother to read the user reviews on this site, I figured that I would start putting them in blogs as some people have done in the past so more people can see them . Just Cause 2 is one of those games that you can spend an hour playing doing nothing but retarded things like base jumping off a building and jacking a helicopter in mid air. If that's not crazy enough...
A video I watched recently in which an elderly women claimed video games cause children to be sexist, racist, and violent sparked my interest in the concept of blood and gore in video games. I have seen debates in the past regarding this concept and whether or not the gore we see today in games like Gears of War and God of War is too much, but a side of the argument some people fail to explore...
Hello everybody. I'm Nate, and you might recognize me from the forums on Giant Bomb. Today I reached a milestone. But rather than go on and on about how I spend too much time on this site and how I've reached 10,000 posts since I signed up on July 23, 2008, let's get to the games! (Since mods frown upon blogs/threads devoted solely to post counts, this is a cleverly disguised Gaming Update!) Wh...
Okay, not really a near death experience, but on Friday I learned just how fragile laptops are. I was laying on the couch browsing Giant Bomb when I decided to take a sip from my water bottle. It was near empty, and as I casually brought it up to my lips it slipped from my hand and fell forward. Water came out onto the front of my laptop and some of the water got onto the space bar and some key...
EDIT: I totally had the Giant Bomb banner thing here, but for some odd reason the image is now broken. WTF Hello Bombers and welcome to another Gaming Update, fueled by Coke (since Mountain Dew is narsty). I'm gonna talk about games and..... other stuff! What I've Been Playing "You'll never hurt me, right Mr. B?" What I weekend I had. First of all, I finished Bioshock 2 at twelve in the morning...
Don't know if any of you have seen this guy on GameFAQs, his username is gandob, but he's amazing. Just read some of his reviews. I think they're hilarious. Here's an excerpt from his Gears Of War 2 review, so you know what you're in for: Graphic: 74/74 BLOOD WILL EVERYWHERE! I could almost defeated by drowning of blood! Limbs and face can ripped off. This game shouldn't allowed to children, wo...
I didn't think I was going to do another one of these, but since I'm a bit burned out on Dragon Age at the moment, I thought I would bring back to life my Gaming Update series. Wanna know something cool? I haven't had school since last Friday. We've had snow days all week, and we won't be back in school until Tuesday. The bad thing is that my summer is now much shorter (provided we didn't use u...
I picked up Bioshock 2 today for the Xbox 360, and I've spent around 2 hours playing the multiplayer. I'm sure some of you are curious about the multiplayer and whether or not it's worth playing, so I've decided to explain what the online play is all about and how it works. The multiplayer works similar to Call Of Duty. It comes complete with a leveling system, XP that you get from kills and as...
It's been far too long since I wrote one of these, and a lot has happened since my last entry. Most notably, I beat the game, but let's start with where I left off on my last entry. That being the Fade. I've seen enough of this place to last a lifetime Actually, let's not, because the Fade is easily the worst part of the game. After making it through that bore fest, I set off for the mountains...
I keep forgetting to do another one of these entries because Mass Effect 2 has been taking up a lot of my time. Honestly, when I'm not playing ME2, I'm playing Dragon Age, and when I'm not playing Dragon Age, I'm playing ME2. Let's just say that Bioware is my favorite developer. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!?!?!" Thinking way back to the time after my last entry, I remember fighting in Redcliffe. Thi...
Today I decided it was time to download the 360 demo of Bad Company 2. So I created an account and signed it up for Xbox LIVE so I could download it (my Luchadeer account is underaged) and was literally blown away by how great the game is compared to the first one. The first thing I did after parachuting down to the game (which is a pretty cool way to respawn) was grab a four wheeler. The next...
I've had Dragon Age (for the 360) since..... Wednesday or Thursday, and I've already put 10 hours and 58 minutes into it. Jeez. Today, I spent all of my time with the game trying to get the support of the Dalish Elves for the fight against the darkspawn. One thing that I kept thinking about when talking to the village folk was how different it would be if I was a human, since the elves and huma...
As you may have noticed, I haven't done one of these in a while. That's because after putting up my last entry, I decided that there was no way I was going to be able to continue playing Dragon Age on my PC. My laptop just can't handle it. Fortunately, I received Dragon Age in the mail today from my brother for the 360. He beat it, and it took him a little over 50 hours o_O. So I'm happy to say...
My favorites to be exact. Several people have done this in the past, but I now realize that I have yet to talk about what my favorite songs are in video games that I have played. But be warned! Spoilers throughout! This is in no particular order, since I'm awful at making Top (insert number here) Lists. Mass Effect Theme Song The first thing that comes to mind when discussing video game music i...
I'm still playing Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, Dragon Age, Left 4 Dead 2, and Prey.
My last entry detailed my adventures in the Fade. I was nearly finished and was about to head into the Inner Sanctum. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice for batting the Sloth Demon. It was quite the fight. You don't scare me So after freeing my remaining teammates (how dare the demon Flemeth slap my Morrigan!) I ventured to the Inner Sanctum to kick some demon hind parts. I remember people s...
I neglected to write a blog yesterday, but that's probably a good thing because nothing too exciting happened in Ferelden. But I am back to continue logging my adventures. Yesterday, I explored Lothering and found it to be pretty boring. The village is full of dirty refugees and bandits. I spoke to a man in a cage that was convincted of murder, and I told him I would speak with his wife to see...
So I got Dragon Age: Origins today and because I haven't been keeping up a blog on the site, I decided I would do it by writting about my adventures in Dragon Age: Origins. This is Part 1. This series will obviously contain massive spoilers, and please , for the sake of all that is holy, do not spoil anything if you are going to comment. I'll stab you through the computer. I purchased Dragon Ag...
More than I should be.
*This blog will contain slight spoilers* Just say no! So in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, you have the option to become a vampire. This is not a choice you should take lightly, however - becoming a vampire means dramatically changing the way you've been playing, and it adds a whole new set of challenges. The reason I'm writing this is because I recently made the mistake of becoming a vampire....
I never cared for mobile gaming ever in my life. I've never even considered the iPhone/iPod Touch as a gaming platform. Most of the crap on their is fart apps and other useless garbage.
A new laptop Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360) Dragon Age: Origins (Xbox 360) Microsoft Points It's an incredibly small list, probably the smallest I've ever had. I actually feel bad about not having a large list. Christmas is the best opportunity I have for getting stuff without feeling guilty about my parents paying for it... So is this a good list?
Oh, hello there. My name is natetodamax, and this is the return of my weekly blog. I said I would be back on the 20th, but I was basically without a computer at the time, so it was delayed to now! Let's get to it! What I've Been Playing Since my birthday was November 20th, I got two games. Modern Warfare 2 (which I actually got on the 11th) and Borderlands. Both games are FANTASTIC. Oorah First...
I've played a lot of terrible games this year, but the one I think I should mention is Call Of Duty: World At War. That game is just awful. I don't feel the need to describe it in detail.
I'm putting the Gaming Update series on a hiatus, probably till the week of November 20th where I'll most likely have a plethora of games to talk about. Thanks.
For those that don't know, Them Crooked Vultures is a new band consisting of Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin). Today they released a single. Album is out November 17th.
From the Quick Look, the facebook integration looks pretty crappy. Last.fm looks cool however, as long as I can listen to some Queens Of The Stone Age! Can't say anything about Twitter because I don't use it anymore.
A non rap version of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air theme song This is a tale explaining the manner in which My way of life was rotated along a Y axis until it reached a position roughly 180 degrees from that which it started If I could have 60 seconds of your time, simply place your posterior in the selected location And I will relate to you the details of how I was made the male monarch of the d...
Author's Note: I've been having immense problems trying to get this blog up due to Comcast being stupid. Don't ever get Comcast. Ever. If you have it right now, cancel it. Eventually I'll add images, but for right now just enjoy it for what it is. Images will be up either later tonight or tomorrow. This blog took me about an hour to write. It's short, but most of my time was spent trying to get...
Handheld gaming is for nooooooooobs
Welcome, welcome, and welcome to another outstanding edition to the Gaming Update blog series..... thing, where I ramble on and on about video games to the 3 or 4 people that actually read my blogs! Yes, it is Friday night, and yes, I did say last time that I would post up my blogs on Sunday instead of the original schedule of Monday. Well, I changed my mind once again and I have decided to pos...
Holy, this song is incredible. *orgasm* It's the cruelest joke to play I'm so high, i run in place Only a line, we separate, so I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it You're the only thing i've got that i can't seem to get enough We collide for one embrace, so I keep on playin our favorite song I...
Well, another week has passed, and I would like to welcome every to October! Yay....? If you haven't noticed already, I've decided to start putting up these blogs on Sunday rather than Monday. It's a bit more convenient for me to do so, because I can focus on schoolwork the following day instead of writing about video games. What I've Been Playing My new favorite vehicle Something extraordinary...
Greetings fellow Bombers. 'Tis that time again for yet another gaming update. Not a whole lot has happened in the past week, which doesn't come as much of a surprise. I've decided to give my blogs some sort of format, as you'll notice below. Nothing to fancy, but a better way to organize things. What I've Been Playing Self-Explanatory On the gaming front, I managed to complete Batman: Arkham As...
Borderlands Modern Warfare 2
This blog contains spoilers for Mass Effect Now I'm starting to realize how difficult it can be to keep up a consistent user blog. As some of you may or may not have noticed, I disappeared for yet another week or so. The reason being is that my mom's laptop, which I had been using due to mine being killed by a virus, finally met the same fate. This is terribly ironic, as my mom is always tellin...
As you may or may not have noticed, I did not blog last Monday simply because nothing interesting happened. I played some games....and that was pretty much it. A few things of note happened since my last. 90 degree weather + humidity = uncomfortable Baltimore in all it's glory Last Friday (the Friday before the 21st) my sister and her 8 year old son Andrew (my nephew) came up from Maine to Mary...
Occasionally I do, if it's a good title
So today I came to the realization that the game I am most excited for is not in fact Modern Warfare 2 . It's actually Borderlands , the upcoming shooter/RPG (or RPS as the developer says) from Gearbox Software . I was so excited for Modern Warfare 2 that we went out and pre-ordered it and got the sweet poster which is hanging in my room. (Yes, we pre-ordered from Gamestop. Sue me). Last night...
So this weekend, we actually went somewhere! In case you didn't know, my family hardly goes anywhere, so this summer so far has been kinda dull. Thankfully, we actually did something Sunday. We drove down to Virginia to go to the Luray Caverns. It's a large commercial cave that was discovered in 1878 that goes way underground and is filled with different cave formations (stalagmites, stalactite...
I don't care for football.
Bioshock 2 getting delayed kinda bummed me out, but there is no way that game is even close to being finished.
Last week wasn't a very exciting one as far as games go. I simply went about my day doin' whatevs. I did manage to get back into The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and started mopping up some achievements I missed. I managed to finish the Mage's Guild and I'm currently in the middle of completing the Thieves Guild. The latter of which is hard for me because sneaking in video games really isn't my t...
Greetings from Maryland! As some of you may or may not have noticed, a few weeks ago I was away from Giant Bomb because my parents and I moved from the state of Maine, where I've lived all my life, down to the home state of Bethesda Softworks: Maryland. This is the biggest move I've been on, and it was quite a slow process getting here. We were able to get some packers to come to our old house...
I couldn't possibly care less, honestly.
Originally, I had planned on writing a short blurb for each of the celebrities that we unfortunately lost during this rather somber week. However, I ultimately decided that it had been brought up enough times, so I will therefore keep this blog purely about games. First of all, I was reunited with an old friend not long after I posted the first blog in this series . I remember back in the day w...
So just a few minutes ago, I've decided to start a blog about things I've been doing involving video games during the weekend. I've decided to do this every Monday, and it will be a recap of games I've been playing over the week and weekend and things I may have achieved. Now, you probably noticed that this is Tuesday, but the next one will continue on Monday as planned. As far as things that I...
If I don't get a job of some sort, I'll play some games and just chill out.
Some of you may or may not have noticed this, but a while ago I vanished from Giant Bomb. You see, my laptop finally met its inevitable doom and was killed off by viruses and spyware, so I could obviously not go on Giant Bomb anymore. The other day, my mother was nice enough to let me use her laptop whenever I want, so that means that I'm back to my regular duties as a Giant Bomber. Just though...
So there are a few pretty big things coming up. First of all, we're moving to Maryland. Well, we're most likely moving to Maryland. My mom recently landed a job down in Washington D.C., and we'll be living within a few miles of the place, which is really neat because I've never been there. My sister (who has a son - my nephew) is excited because she wants to leave Maine as well. However, my bro...
So Memorial Day weekend was an interesting week for me in the gaming culture. Here's what I got: Halo 3! Back in February my Halo 3 copy was destroyed by my Xbox. I recently was really wanting to get back into it, so my brother was generous enough to give me his copy. I'm back in the saddle, baby! But I was still missing something... Halo 3! W00t! Microsoft Points! In order to celebrate my acqu...
Hey dudes, so for school we had a writing prompt. The prompt was "If you could only tell one story about something that matters to you, what would it be?" Anyway, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my work. I normally wouldn't ask the internet for something like this, but Giant Bomb seems like a mature enough community to handle it. Plus, I was really confused about the prompt and...

$2,500! Story Here Anybody gonna get a pair?
Hey everyone. As we all know, Summer is slowly started to creep up and I was wondering if any of you duders had any game related goals, such as games to beat, achievements to unlock, etc. Here are mine: 1) Get The Zombie Genocide Achievement In Left 4 Dead Killing 53,595 zombies will be tough, but it's definitely not impossible. I figure if I spend most of the time I play this game going throug...
So after playing through Bioshock this week, I was inspired to create another blog about my favorite video game moments. So without further ado, here it is. I've also managed to include video! 1) Sander Cohen's Outburst As if killing people and taking pictures of their corpses to put on a sculpture wasn't crazy enough, wait until you get attacked by a bunch of Splicers while uplifting music pla...
So I decided to create a blog, and the topic of favorite video game moments is something that interests me. These are just some of my favorite, as the title suggests, and they are in no particular order. This list will contain some spoilers, so read at your own risk. Also, feel free to post your own! 1) Gears Of War 2 - Inside The Riffworm If the thought of riding a Brumak in Gears 2 was ridicu...
A teenage girl gave birth to a premature baby in a hospital bathroom and then proceeded to try and flush it down the toilet. I speak the truth. Story here. WTF?
So around 7:05 - 7:10 this evening, my Xbox 360 died. This was the first time it's been killed, and it's my first Xbox. It lasted a year. I did the thing on Xbox.com, and it said that my warranty had expired. What's even dumber is the fact that when my friends Xbox died, it never said his was expired even though he had his for longer than I did. Wasn't the warranty extended to 3 years? Thanks i...
On MB's sticky topic: I gotta say, I've never seen a mod on any website come out and call the mean guys on this site dicks and douchebags. It seems as if insulting any user now would quickly get you in trouble, but it IS the internet. Now, I'm not sure if the mods are being too harsh with these new rules, or if they are just being awesome by blatantly calling those select few some angry words w...
The Locust, I mean. Today, with a friend, I FINALLY managed to complete both Gears Of War 2 and 1 on Insane. Arg, I'm so happy! Never thought I would be able to do it. After that, I bought the Combustible Map pack and got myself two of the achievements for it (win a match of Wingman on each map and do 30 waves of Horde on them). Now I'm addicted to playing multiplayer with nine bots! Anyway, ju...
Every year, a new line of video games for every console is released to different opinions and views. This year was no different, with releases such as the new Call Of Duty and an inspiring first person game from DICE. 5) Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway I was reluctant to put this on the list. Why? Because I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The gameplay was fun all the way through, and the sto...
