Some are easy, some are... well... impossible now.

Battlefield: Bad Company has several different types of weapon unlocks. Included several outside of game play. Both easy to unlock and difficult if not impossible to unlock.

There are two tiers of weapon unlocks for Bad Company: five weapons each, one per class.

Valve to PS3: "You Suck!"

Doug Lombardi from Valve responds to IGN, "there is no PS3 version of Left 4 Dead currently in production."

That's too bad for PS3 owners. I am just traumatized for them... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! See? Traumatized!

While perruzing the web during my lunch, I came accross this interesting artikle over at Reuterz, and I must say, I kompletlee agree with it. Wuld'nt it be grait if we no longer had to worree about that pesky chore of spelling properlee? Kan you imagin all of the pour prouf reeders out there with no more work?

Maybe won day, Dyslekia will no longer be considered a diseze, but an asset.

Maybe won day... But not now....

Well... no one actually died

I have no idea where these cables go...Update2: Photos added.

Update: As was mentioned to me this was very much a short notice LAN. All things considered it was pretty impressive to have one of our best turnouts ever on two days notice.

Woo-hoo! Stormblade just left!

For a mid-week Lan party everything went pretty well. Although with Stormblade outnumbered six-to-one you think we could have got him this time. It was unfair of him to bring his son to the party. No one was quite willing to finish him of with his son right there. Except Akufadumamai, of course, but I couldn't cover the cost and passing the hat around got me nothing. In fact I think I lost money.

No deaths as mentioned, seven (7!) HoC clan members attended (Blackwalt, Stormblade, MoriceRevek, Akufadumamai, Q-Bert, Hardwood, and Coxxorz), GRAW2 was played until the first exodus, only 60 minutes was wasted on setup (better than average), team killing was kept to a minimum (for us), and lots of munchies, pop, and alcohol were consumed.

Tape can fix everything!

Needs more tapeRolly discovered that his red chair wasn't quite right. He needed to repair it. With tape!

"Need more tape"

"Small piece"

"You can't help, not workman"

"More tape here... and here... and here... and here... and here... and here... and here... "

"Fix it"

On the plus side Hardwood now has a chair to sit on tonight.

Last minute breaking info

• I will update this list if anything else comes up.

The trip to daycare

So this morning Rolly insisted on taking a digital camera with him to properly document his morning drive. The images have been resized but not cropped or edited in anyway.

Only five?

TeamXbox has an editorial up called Team Talk: 5 Things I Hate About You.

Apparently its loud, unreliable and white.

And yes I am also expecting Noir and Swag comment on 100 things I hate about the Xbox 360 but I think you should only be allowed to complain about your Xbox 360 if you actually own a real gaming console.

I know you guys like watching bad movies in the theatres I thought I would share this with you.

It boggles my mind on how a crappy movies make the big screen and make money.

While a great movie like In Burges goes straight to DVD in North America.

Plane Pull

When it come to food...

Bonus photo after the jump.

Nobody shows up to these anyway, so I'm not going to apologize for the short notice. But if enough of you bums are actually online tonight, we should play Doom. Even Karloff has expressed an interest, if that's the game of choice. You owe it to yourselves to sign on, if only to hear him channeling Sean Connery.

So go download it now! Only 800 Micro$oft points in the Xbox Live Arcade.

Thought I would share this pleasent comic I found, while reading my morning sites, about how much Gentoo owns.

Well technically it's the Xbox 360 Elite with Guitar Hero III bundle, but now that I have your attention...
