So yeah, I bailed on ya'll last night. It's not due to the fact that I was getting worked, it was because I couldn't stand no hearing anyone!

That's a big yay for PS3 owners. Bioshock is a great title. Though this is old news that just finally became official. It was pretty understood that Bioshock would only be a timed exclusive for 360. Just like the next Unreal release for PS3.

On that note perhaps the best Wii Ware game to ever be released is coming out. Developed by Frat Party Games. Trailer in included in the link.

The voice of Niko made 100K in 15 months of work for GTA IV, and he's crying about it to the NY Times. Geezuz!

Today is the episode one release of the new "Red Vs. Blue" series. Rooster Teeth just couldn't give up the Halo related series. Thank goodness because the RvB series is great. New episodes to be released every Monday.

Yeah I read that several days ago. I told Johnny. I just assumed you had probably already heard. That's pretty stupid eh?

Preordered my copy of Battlefield Bad Company tonight. Now just waiting 24 or less hours for the code to unlock the beta before it goes public on the 5th of June to everybody else. I also got a free keychain and a code to download a preorder exclusive sniper rifle. Good times. Great oldies.

First there was Guitar Hero.
Then there was Guitar Hero 2, 3, Aerosmith and On Tour.

Next. There will be Guitar Hero: Metallica. \m/

Don't forget the U2 version as well.

Also, for people in canada who don't have GH3 right now. Most eb games locations have it on for 9.99. limited time only, I didn't see any PS3 copies, but I read on another forum as well that there are definitely PS2 and Xbox 360 going for 9.99. GAME ONLY, no GUITAR.

I think Activision is going to milk the GH franchise for all its worth. I completely see people getting sick of it eventually, and I hope Harmonix/MTV takes notice when continuing their RockBand series. For now I hope they concentrate on continuing to release music downloads, and not the development of RB2.

so I got Mass Effect for PC.

it seems to like to alternate between running 'half decent' and 'like complete ass', and this is with exceeding the recommended specs.

I'll do you one better. The PO price is $4.99.
That's out of control.

previously owned. It's not worth it though, sure you get it for 5 bucks cheaper, but a brand spankin new game for 10 bucks is definitely a deal for any GOOD game.

Ninja Gaiden 2 demo is up on the XBLM. For those of us that are too broke right now to buy the game.

Johnny you missed it last night. Before Lando got on CoD it was me, Billy, Cheese, Riceman, Pluggins, and Bullet....to be funny we arranged our clan tags so it said "QUIT RITE NOW QUIT RITE NOW" and 2 teams in row didn't catch it. Finally the 3rd team did, and even they thought it was funny. Maybe you had to be there. But we were dying laughing.

Dude, I wanted to play last night but I was encountering mega lag last night. So after three attempts at playing I decided to fold up the shop for the night.
