I think this is an awesome little chart to help people decided what gaming system they should purchase.

Let's try this one: This should fix everything

Coxxorz discovers the issue behind the recent Holiday Xbox Live Woes and goes under the table to fix them.

The loose cable heard around the world.

I know we're all looking forward to Burnout Paradise being the ultimate social racer for 360, but this looks promising. Fans of the MX series should feel right at home with MX vs. ATV Untamed, as it finally lands on our favourite next-gen console. Bike, quads, trucks, stunts, eight unique racing series - it's all here.

Everyone seems to like it well enough, and the video looks good, so let's hope the demo makes us want to run out and buy it. Five mini-games, supports 2-player local splitscreen, and up to 12 players online!

Downloading now...

Just their Xbox 360 support team. Yes, all of them.

You all know about my continuing and varied problems with MS Xbox 360 Tech Support. Just take a look at HoC node 46 , HoC node 103 (my favourite), HoC node 138 , HoC node 145 , HoC node 235 (kind of), HoC node 339 , HoC node 412 or the slightly misconstrued HoC node 224 which could have been their fault. It could have!!

With Christmas gone and the eggnog consumed, who can honestly say they got what they really wanted? Well now you can have the present your heart actually desires, and affordably too. The Dell 2407WFP-HC is not only bigger and better than what you're using now, it's also $100 off for a limited time.

Seriously, if you can't afford $599 to bring your gaming/porning to the next level, why bother? This thing also has all the video inputs you'll need, so not having the right cable is no longer a valid excuse. Just buy it, whiners!!!

Microsoft has announced that they will be giving out a free game to everybody on Live as a gesture of good will due to the poor network performance experienced during the holiday period.

Sucks to be Stormblade.

I, however, will be PVRing this to watch after MoriceRevek's LAN party.

Good news for Canadian Dresden fans (and Dresden fans with Canadian
friends)! Space will broadcast the unaired 2-hour pilot, Storm Front, this
Saturday, January 5th, at 8 pm.

I think I just shat my pants.

Could you imagine if that is what it looked like. I don't worry though. Nintendo will deliver like they always do.

... and listen to 9 Gigs of music shared via someone's iTunes on the hotel's guest network, I would like to remind everyone to install some sort of Firewall software on your damn laptops.

I thought I would share another good video review from Yahtzee. I believe the last one posted on this site was about the craptacular Halo series. This one is about Mario Galaxies.

Sid the Kid
Did Sidney look like he was having fun yesterday or what? Splitting the D while juggling the puck in the air with his stick. Amazing. Read more

Among others things. His wife and kids are also here.

I talk to him on the phone in advance. "Make sure you bring Crackdown. I thought we should have a two player game in case no one else is online."

So Q-bert shows up with Crackdown. Only Crackdown.

Am I right in considering him an idiot?

Just curious.

And not my regular constant seething hate, but a more poignant, musical hate. And this occurred to me at 6am this morning.

Gabba: "I don't know how to plug in the microphone, go and wake up daddy..."

Bouzie: "'K!" bom bom bom bom
Bouzie: "Daddy! Wake up!"
Me: "Mhhhrrmh ?"
Bouzie: "Wake up!"
Me: "Why ?"
Bouzie: "Wake up!"

Yes, love was in the air this morning...

Seriously, sometimes I am confused by our consumer society and the corporate lack of logic. Unlike the EBgames style however, this was in my favour.

I received for christmas a very nice present in the form of "Live free or Die Hard" on dvd. Great, I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately said gift was a Full Screen version as the gift came from a non-technological, non-geek type person. Yes Virginia, they do exist.
