I can't BELIEVE this Sh!t

My replacement PS3 died on me last Friday night. I was having just a wonderful time playing Killzone 2, and Call of Duty when all of a sudden the screen locked and the system shut off - BY ITSELF! The words that came out of my mouth I won't repeat here but none the less I scared the dogs with all my yelling and the party cleared out pretty quick.

When I called Sony I asked then why the first time they didn't try to recover the data from the hard drive. The lovely more »

My PS3 Died

playstation 3

UPDATE: I got it back right before the release of Killzone 2. To my dissapontment it was a completely new PS3, which means that anything stored on the the hard drive was gone. Which was quite a bit of game saves and even downloadable stuff. The PSN games I could just redownload, but the game saves are gone forever.

2 weeks ago I was pumped to come home from work and download the new KILLZONE 2 Demo and give it a whirl. It had been something I was looking forward to for weeks and I rushed home more »

It's no secret that I'm pumped for this game. Although this clip has been used time and time again it still makes me laugh. Be advised there is a lot of swearing.

Nazi Zombies Invade Texas

coldfusion.image.Image@1dbbac

Seems some hackers had some fun at the expense of morning commuters in Austin Texas replacing road signs with warnings of a zombie invasion. The funniest part of all of this is considering how the mainstream press likes to point the finger at video games for every abnormality of the human condition they completely missed the point. Because as anyone who has ever played Call of Duty: World at War knows, Nazi zombies more »

Save Your Money. Don't Buy SOCOM:Confrontation

Screenshot of SOCOM: Confrontation

It has been over a month since I unwrapped my copy of SOCOM: Confrontation. I can remember at the time being giddy with excitement for the next generation of SOCOM that I had fallen in love with (figuratively speaking) almost a decade ago.

I hooked up the included microphone and remembered the first time I did the same with the original SOCOM. The microphone was made a little cheaper back than and it had a long cord attached to it that I always seemed to wrap my leg into. I remembered as I put the more »

Another July 4th Has Come and Gone

What the fourth of July for but to Celebrate our nation's independence, grilling out, blowing sh!t up and getting fall down drunk. I managed to do all those things, but not in that particular order over the course of the day.

The party was another huge success. Somehow we managed to go through just tons of food and we even ran out! Sorry bout that to those in attendance, we'll get more next year. It was great having all our friends over for the day. I got to catch up on a lot of things I've more »

Great News! Veronica Belmont has a new job! Today Sony Announced Qore. A subscription based television series, think a video magazine. The shows can be up to 2 hours in length and work much like the scene selection of a DVD so you can watch what you want and when. Also included in this new service is access to exclusive betas, demos, wallpapers etc. The service will cost $2.99 per episode or $24.99 for 13 episodes. Did I mention Veronica Belmont was the host?

All that sounds really interesting, and I am all for people getting paid for more »

Wax Nostalgic on My Video Gaming History

coldfusion.image.Image@1e0d1b8

Kotaku has a posting asking which consoles its readers own and it got me thinking about some of the consoles I used to have when I was a kid. The first system to enter out neighborhood when I was a kid was the Atari (I don't think it had a number way back then). I would go to my friend Bill's house after school and from that moment on I was completely hooked and have been ever since.

My first system was a Colecovision, I must have been around twelve. It had everything more »

I Need a Survival Horror Game

coldfusion.image.Image@163eacb

My game library is nothing to sneeze at. Not that I have much time for such things anymore but, and I thought I'd never say this, the first person shooters are getting a little old. Sure i have Metroid, and Mario, and Okami, and just about every final fantasy game ever made but I want something more. I have no patience for the plethora of delays that seem to be the staple of the Playstation 3 brand at this point.

I want something to scare the sh!t out of me. Something that I can sit in the dark with my surround more »

Gamespot's Gerstman Fired Over Poor Review?

coldfusion.image.Image@1f071da

Jeff Gerstman, an editor at Gamespot may have been recently fired because of the poor review he gave for Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. So the story goes Eidos Interactive, the makers of the game, didn't like the review (above) and pressured cnet networks to fire him. No one can say if that is true or not at this point but what if it is. What would have happened if everyone that gave lair a bad review, which more »

Kim is Playing Heavenly Sword

I just thought I'd write this down for posterity because i am sitting right next to Kim right now as she is playing Heavenly Sword. I have to say it is a bit amusing because she is really getting into it. She is fighting Whiptail right now and here is an example of what she is currently yelling at the television. "Oh, you are so gonna pay for that you b!tch! you are going to die a miserable death."

This is funny because in our house I wanted Heavenly Sword and Kim wanted more »

Resistance Fall Of Man Tournament

Just got an email about a RFOM tournament. I noticed that the first round is conversion, which I'm not very consistent in.

Resistance Fall of Man is a game for the Playstation 3 that puts you in an alternate WWII where aliens (or are they) take over all of Russia and Europe.

Conversion is a last man standing game played online where normally you get two lives. Once as a human and once as more »
