Great article where you realize there are companies you probably haven't even heard of that have done worse. http://wikibon.org/blog/the-11-largest-data-breaches-in-recent-history/ The minute they officially brought down the entire PSN network, I assumed something bad was up. Yeah, it was bullshit that they waited days to inform people to that fact, but I think we all had a pretty good idea tha...
I put 200 odd hours into Fallout 3, it was an amazing experience, and I still go back into that world occasionally just to putter around. I still haven't beaten the last couple of pieces of DLC, I should definitely do that, but now there's Fallout New Vegas. I spent about 3 hours playing yesterday, and woke up 2 hours before I needed to leave for work this morning and jumped back in again. The...
Bobby Kotick is threatening to stop publishing PS3 games if Sony doesn't drop the price on the PS3 to up the attach rate for Activision games. Yeah, I'm sure Bobby is really going to dump publishing on a major gaming console, specifically the one that, to date, can't be pirated. I think Bobby's big concern is that, after buying a PS3, Joe Average isn't going to be too excited about throwing for...
http://www.ecto-web.org/~spookcentral/scblog/index.php/2009/06/10/ghostbusters-video-game-box-backs-specs Apparently if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Turns out Ghostbusters PC is (of course) DRM'd up. Also turns out it's stripped of the multiplayer component, which is an offense I cannot forgive. Good work Atari, you just lost my business as far as this game is concerned.
If you haven't seen the HardOCP video footage of Ghostbusters running on a quad core PC with a GTX 280, it's definitely worth checking out. Their engine scales "infinitely" based on the hardware and does all of the physics work through the CPU you're using which means that a high end quad core CPU or an I7 should kick ass in this game. Comparing this to some of the PS3/360 footage I've seen, I...
I watched Mirrors last night, Unrated version, dunno what is different between it and the theatrical cut, but it's pretty good, generic at worst, but has a cool premise. While the ending seems tacked on, it was still worth watching. As a semi-fan of 24, it strikes me that Kiefer Sutherland in this movie is the equivalent of 24 if Jack Bauer was fighting demons. Not a bad thing, definitely a bet...
I'm up to issue 28 of The Walking Dead. I'm not usually much into comic books/graphic novels/whatever term isn't offensive to people who don't read books with no pictures, but this series totally has me sucked in. The first volume was kind of meh, but once I got into issue #6 I started to really get hooked in. I'm totally a zombie whore anyway, so this comic is pretty much right down my alley,...
Just got done seeing the amazing, special effects laden film epic which is Paul Blart: Mall Cop. While the movie is shit, I can't help but think it would make a great budget video game. Playing Kevin James in a 3rd person perspective, speeding around a mall, sometimes on a Segway, sometimes on foot, changing into different outfits to meet the demands of his job. Plus, you got the dudes running...

Every other site on the internet sends me a "Happy birthday, you old goat!" email, I got nothing from GB? I got like 50 emails from some site called sksapps, not sure what that was about. Anyway, happy birthday to me.
