Herd of Cats

Due to underwhelming demand. [#5 btw]

On an original Saints Row 2 box

You saw it here first. Now experience it for your very own.

Yes as a first in a series (hopefully) Herd of Cats has produced and made available your very own replacement DVD cover.

Just follow the simple instructions and replace your Saints Row 2 cover with the far more appropriate (and topical) Storm's Woe 2 cover.

Stay tuned for more fascinating developments.

With my relationship with THQ, they'll actually see me develop Saint's Row into an actual screeplay and into a film project. I'm optioning the rights for that right now, so they'll see that before they see me do it from my own perspective for my game – Rapper 50 Cent.

More details at Kotaku.

Here I am, at work, calmly working on converting some code from an onld application to a more modern version, when I here from cubicle neighbours headphones Europe's The Final Countdown.

I found myself suddenly thinking: Time to switch to my rocket launcher, and blow a few things up. I had to do a double take to remind myself that I was not in the Saints Row 2 world. Read more

Another reason for not playing with a Playstation. They can cause actual injuries!. You know your gaming platform sucks when an actual injury is named after it. I wonder if I can go on disability because of that?

This made me think of Revek.

I just hope it isn't going to be as repetitive as Mass Effect (still a good game BTW).

After playing Saints Row 2 with Revek last night, I give it a resounding "Meh".

We played 5 activities and 2 missions, and I don't know if it was Revek's driving, or just the fact that it's another third party PoV game, but I didn't enjoy it as much as you guys have been pushing it.

Mind you, I am still in the very beginning of the game, and it might have some wicked re-playability going for it; I just don't know yet. Maybe I should play with Coxxorz and not Revek....

Once again (see GTA IV and Halo 3) I have succumbed to the pressure of my peers. I have allowed my moral fortitude to be eroded. I am weak, pathetic.

I hated GTA IV. Everything I have read about Saints Row 2 leads me to believe I will hate it as well. It is everything I dislike in a video game all wrapped up in one package. Nothing about it appeals to me.

So, it will arrive next week. Hopefully before Wednesday evening so I don't have to keep listening to Blackwalt grumble and whine.

I am so ashamed ...

Shaundi from Saints Row 2 has made more of a cultural impression than you might think. Just being nominated for a SpikeTV Video Game Award wasn't enough for her.

She had to expose herself to an entirely different audience. Although I am sure there is some cross over.

Turns out Shaundi made the big time. Yes, Playboy. Shaundi is one of the Virtual Vixens in the December 2008 issue of Playboy. It's the 5th edition of the Virtual Vixens celebrating "the hottest female video game characters."

In case anyone cares
EB has it for $20 picked it up yesterday
Does anyone here actually have this game?

The snow is starting to melt, the deep freez has left us (hopefully for good), birds are returning, cats are chasing the thawed bugs, Q-Bert is getting grayer. You all know what this means?

It's time to have another Frag-tastic get-together and kill the crap out of one another! Read more

No "STOP BITING" button, no sale

Yes. It is a cat remote.

No. I don't think it will work either.

Includes:

• remain aloof (pretty sure this one will work)
• catch mice (like he needs to be told)
• land on feet (pointless)
• retract claws (hahahahaha)
• get off:
  • shelf
  • chair
  • bed

What? No get off keyboard?

So I know Joss Whedon's track record, with Firefly being my favourite, so I checked out his new series Dollhouse.

Now I know what you are thinking, "you willing watched a Fox TV show?" Well, yes.

But not for the reason you may think.
