This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while!

"Peak to Peak Charter School in Lafayette was closed Wednesday morning after a suspicious package was found on the west side of campus, according to school district officials."

Investigators found a variety of things inside the duffel bag, including a Kermit the Frog doll, which appeared to have blood stains on it, Battersby said.

Seems like that title may belong to Dj Hero.

Although as the article argues, this is probably due to the fact that DJ Hero costs a lot more (up to 200$).

And probably hardware, but the stats haven't been released just yet. But if last month was any indication (7 million DS and Wii consoles combined), then they are the clear cut winner.

It's ironic how people blast Nintendo, but in actuality if it wasn't for them the games they play on other consoles wouldn't have even gotten the funding since the games industry would be broke!

After several months, phone calls and emails I finally got the regular sale price on MW2.

Actually the funny thing is that the sale was originally for 49.99$, but whenever I talked to then on the phone they would always tell me that I will get it for 39.99$.

So I ended up getting the game for 39.99$!

Free round of beer for everyone!

This game is looking better all the time (see I can promote my games too, because there are games out there that don't have co-op and are still good).

So how can you really have a level based on Violence in a game where you are basically killing stuff in hell? Just watch!

And the art direction in this game so far is brilliant. Makes me cry.

Thankfully I missed the Q-bert post whore rush, otherwise this story would have been lost in oblivion.

So as some of you may remember, I pre-ordered MW2 at Future shop (can't seem to find the link to my post for some reason) for 49.99 but was charged the full price because of a server time stamp error. Read more

I am posting this more for a certain HoC member who buys streak at the LCBO.

It's that time again! Enjoy.

Yes, this video comes from a land down under, where women glow and men plunder.... or in this case don't play mature rated games. Why is that? Well Australia lacks a M+ rating for games (which they hypocritically have for movies), so certain games like Fallout 3 need to be 'censored' or be banned from sale in the country. This is coupled with the fact that games there can cost almost 100$ CND, and takes months to get there after everyone else had it.

Yes, although most games on this site only get coverage if they are Blackwalt endorsed, I thought i'd give it a try anyway.

The Bioshock 2 Special Edition actually looks like it might be worth the extra price. In particular the art book would be of interest to me. Read more

So you may remember here that Future-Shop was offering CoD:MW2 for 49.99$ and I managed to get one.

However, since the server time stamp was wrong it thought that I ordered it the day before, so I got tentatively charged full price. I then call customer support to get them to change it and they do, but the change won't be reflected until the item ships.

But today I check the order and the price has changed, but not to 49.99$ or 69.99$...

Yeah, I may be banned for posting this, but I did post a warning.

Anyway I was in the mall today and I happen to come across the cd for this band, Steel Panther, and I started laughing. Why? Listen to the song to find out! I think Aku is the guy on the far right, and I am sure that he wrote the lyrics to this song.

It's like a modern version of Spinal Tap! Read more

Yes, as some of you may have heard, I got the TurtleBeach X1 Headphones and at the insistence of Coxxorz, I decided to scan the back of the package to see what I can do with them.

You read that correctly (well unless you are like Q-bert and can't read), with these headphones I can now "Trash Talk"! Before I just didn't have this ability. Amazing.

Its been a while since I posted one of these.

But you read correctly, Nintendo is The World's Best Company, beating out apple and google.

They "ranked companies by not only their sales, market cap, and value, but also more abstract traits like a focus on innovation, strong leadership, and a clear vision for the future." Something that Microsoft and Sony lack, although it is somewhat better with their piggybacking of motion controller schemes from Nintendo. Read more

Yeah, it was on /. but it's still worth posting on here. Someone used a vocoder (auto-tune) and samples of Carl Sagan's Cosmos series to make what is a pretty cool song.

Hopefully everyone knows who Carl Sagan is.
