If anyone sees some classic rants about the lack of Japanese dialog please post them so I can read them out to myself in an indignant nerdy voice.

I played IW back in the day, it was fine but here, right now, today, in 2010, living in the future of video games... that game aint gonna make you any friends. I bought all the hitmans so i could have them on steam,and Deus Ex 1. $13 bucks well spent. Yay for buying games I already own, somewhere...

This is the worst day of my life how could Valve betray us like this I blame it on that Chet Faliszek you can't write video games (not a real job!) that was how it started Gabe you broke my heart gargle gargle gargle gargle bleeargj

My puffins keep getting flanked by the bandit penguins! Help!

Its a pain in the ass, because I've patiently waited to play this game on the PC and not on XBOX360. It is meant to be an excellent game and I'm keen to check it out.

So it very much seems that if you don't mind going through 24 hours of linear tutorials, the game opens up and becomes a great Final Fantasy game. That's a ridiculous amount of time, I hope its not too tedious because I very much want to get to the good bit. I'll probably struggle through it. I played FFXII again on the weekend but using PCSX2, so I had it running great at 1920 x 1080. I really love the style and art in that game and I also like the combat system. Very dragon age! So yeah, Amazon Prime for tomorrow, then we shall see.

Dude on the sofa did not expect his night to turn out like this at all.

That Google search is fantastic.

In an clever attempt to draw attention away from the Infinity Ward dramarama and eclipse Valve's PR stunts on Monday, Bobby Kotick ordered Blizzard to drop a bombshell Wizard reveal. I present to you the Male Wizard Click on this to see an ingame version of the wizard moving about a bit. http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/characters/wizard.xml No pointy hat with moons and stars? Wierd. I hadn't been to that site before and gleefully clicked through all the videos and stuff while I was there last night. I am so stoked to play this game. Are you stoked too? edit: I just saw there is a lovely Diablo III thread already,sorry. This one is just about this recent Wizard news specifically then. http://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5852&page=4

Play Patapon while watching The Bone Collector instead of Heavy Rain.

It's a terrible game so you'll thank me when I tell you that the Origami Killer is

Hahaha I got you all good, this is what the wizard in Diablo III will look like really, just like we all knew it would.

I wonder how Chris is doing with his Novint Falcon?

I think the bit that was new was the in game model, which you can see on the link or by looking down a bit here.

I am nube beyond nube

Now THAT's an Epic Mickey! Am I right?

I read something on somewhere that said they have dropped over-serious storyline and just admitted its a game about fucking around. Hot scoop.

"Should 8 Blizzard executives die with one cycle of the sun, by the blood this contract is signed in, R. Kotick, Lord of Shadows, shall have unchallenged dominion over Azeroth and Outer Space" Gots to read the small print.

I bet Blizzard will be burning the midnight oil tonight going over their contracts a billion times.

Call of Duty Space Dead

How many people at IW will want to follow Jason West and Vince Zampella and how many are able to? Will Joe Public hear about this? Will they care who makes their Call of Duty games? It will be interesting to see what the market does tomorrow, will they just think "yay Call of Duty Craft is on its way!" I mean nothing happened there today. I think that Kotick is a PC gamer and had a secret battle with IW over dedicated servers, let them win that battle, bided his time and then dished out a delicious entree of revenge, chilled revenge. Except he told us he doesn't play Video Games. Fancy a game of Battlefield Bad Company anyone?

They put out a press release, sorry if this is what liquids links were about (work blocks kotaku laffo) Chris's article http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/27484/Sledgehammer_To_Make_2011_Call_Of_Duty_Activision_Reorganizes_Franchise.php Then the press release itself: Senior Douche to come out on top?? Is there any management left at Infinity Ward that aren't Bobby's boys?

Board Games

I'm real interested in playing this. I've just gone back to the campaign so I can get it done before the Chaos expansion comes out. The only caveat is I am not very good at Video Games.

Hahaha what? I don't think the voice acting wasnt anywhere near as bad as others have said it was but second to none? Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, Batman... just off the top of my head. My problem wasn't really with the story it was with the terrible interaction the player has with the game, from about where the lovable P.I. goes to the mansion onwards. Mash dem buttons! This game is the worst.
