Herd of Cats

I heard about this recently. That EA is going to let people BUY more weapons for this game. What a wonderfully stupid ass idea that is. Money whoring EA. I have seen this done before in games and well as you may expect it ruins them. An example was the great online game called NavyField which was free, except people could pay for ships if the wanted. These payed for ships were a) smaller, making them harder to hit, and b) had way more poweful guns. Read more

In a desperate attempt to get some culture into you guys, and in response to the "what the hell is a Wilhelm?" while playing the map tonite, here's The Wilhelm Scream... Read more

Did you use gamesave tampering to boost your Gamescore?

No achievements for you!

Your gamerscore is erased and you CAN NOT re-earn any previous achievement. The permanent cheater label is my favourite part.

I think the Gamerscore Leaderboard is going to see some mysterious changes.

Ozymandiash has posted a Co-op Game Bill of Rights: 2008 Edition.

Hopefully more developers will follow this guideline.

No, I have no idea who Ozymandiash is either but I likes his ideas about proper co-op gameplay.

In case you've been living under a rock (or your gaming system IS a rock), you can now pick up a brand new copy of Halo 3 (for Xbox 360 - duh) for just $39.99 at Amazon.ca.

This special edition comes with a fancy metal case (handy to cover your ass with), and a bonus video disc.

Over the last few years, I have voiced a theory that was proven MANY times by Jehreg, Revek and Noir especially.

The theory is that a man cannot do anything by himself... they always require many of them to accomplish a simple task that can be done by one single woman, especially errands. For example, buy DVDs, groceries, etc. Read more

No, not affiliate link whoring time (well yes, that too), but something even more sinister and insidious: BARBECUE SEASON. And what better way to celebrate than by purchasing an Official Herd of Cats BBQ Apron?

Coincidentally, for a limited time only, you can get $5 off a purchase of $50 or more at CafePress. Simply enter the code DUSTYSEEMED (no, it's not a bad word) at checkout to get your savings. Discount lasts until midnight on March 26, 2008. Okay, so it's a VERY limited time offer. Hey, I don't make the promos, I'm just a consumer whore.

Okay so this is a story not a comment

Which would be my point anyway.

We all remember MoriceRevek's comment about his metallic liquid CDs from Microsoft that mutated and took over his PC. It was original and long. Not a comment in fact but a story. So it was promoted to Story Status.

The recent clan controversy over Rainbow Six Vegas 2 generated two stories here and here. Read more

I don't know how long this deal will be up, but it's worth posting in case some of you can take advantage. Dell has the Kingston 2 GB Elite Pro SD memory card on sale for just $13.99. That's the best price I've seen for any 2GB SD card, and this one os 50x!

So I would just like to know if anyone here plays online PC games. And if yes, what games do you play.

- I just got the OrangeBox for PC last week. So Team Fortress 2 is on my list.
- Warcraft 3: DoTA is also something I frequent.

Clearly 10,000 Swedes know their roles.

And now for some toilet humour

So our downstairs toilet has be dripping, running, and constantly making noise pretty much since Stormblade lived here. Maybe not quite that long but a long time.

Today we decided to do something about it and after one quick trip to Home Depot had a Complete Toilet Tank Repair kit in hand for $24.99.

And yes, after the Kitchen Sink incident we also expected a complete fiasco.

My initial thoughts after our first run at R6V2 are:

- Very pretty.
- The AI is better and we're not.
- Jehreg (where the hell did Q-Bert come up with that name??) takes up a multiplayer slot without contributing anything.
- Despite Ubisoft's claims, you can still only play with 4 cooperatively in Terrorist Hunt
- B is not crouch.
- Blackwalt provides as much cover as he did in the previous version (i.e. none at all) Read more
