Endangered Gamer

Xbox 360 Fanboy is confirming the apperance of a 2 minute Halo 3 video at E3 next week . I guess i should be way more excited than i am. I am a Halo fan, but for some reason, i'm not foaming at the mouth. anyways, on the right, under my Gamercard is a new thing, the Gamerscore chart. you can get yours at http://gamerscorechart.com/ . Tuesday the 2nd of May, xbox live will be down for some dashboard updates. as usual, they're not saying WHAT is being updated, or why. fucking rain. it's been raining in chicago for the last 24 hours, and i'm getting sick of it. for anyone who uses yahoo mail, here's a step by st ep to get into the new yahoo mail beta test. it just looks more like gmail now. i finally got the patch for mlb 2k6, and even with the fucking patch, the gameplay is still broken. i guess expecting fielders to react is too much to ask. but hey, they did release some gamerpics, so the sox logo is going on my gamercard NOW!!!!!

some photoshop fun

Nintendo's Revolution console's new name was confirmed today . it's going to be called the nintendo Wii. i'm sure everone out there has something more clever to say about this than me. I kind of like it.

Finally!!!! Episode #7 comes out late as HELL!!!! but here it is, with some guitar hero love, MLB2K6 hate, silent hill movie reviews, and plugs for the Bastardcast ( as if they need it) and the start of a (maybe) podcast war with Despair and Videogames!!!!! and a song from the Minibosses!!!!!! w00t!!!! Get it Here (direct download)

After 2 months of having this blog, and getting SICK and TIRED of my Xbox 360's constant bitching and moaning about not having it's own soapbox, i finally gave it a blog . Yes, my Xbox 360 has a blog that will enable it's feelings and thoughts to be broadcast to the world. you've been warned....... if anyone else out there wants to give their 360 a voice, click here.

no updates lately, cuz i'm suffering from a debilitating addiction to Guitar Hero and Oblivion. hopefully, i'll be well enough soon to record a podcast. nah, i think i'll wait till sunday......

kotaku.com pointed me to a audio-only game by Studio Hunty. You use the Xbox 360 wired controller (it's required) to move a monster in a circular pit, finding your prey by the sound of their breathing and if you get close enough, their heartbeat. Playing with headphones really helps, since you must be able to tell if they are on your left or right. A short but sweet game. Get the game here. Creator's blog here

Hell Yeah!!!!! This video from a few kids has a lightsaber battle that's more exciting than anything from the Original Trilogy!!!!!!!

I've never had a desire to buy a PSP. sure, it's damn sexy, with a big screen and all, but none of the games look to me like anything i'd like to play. Metal Gear Acid, Socom:Fire Team Bravo and Me and My Katamari are games that i'm somewhat interested in, but that's it. then comes Loco Roco. I guess i'm a sucker for quirky Japanese games, but this might be the most happy game ever made. the music alone is weird enough to grab my attention, and the totally bizarre control scheme.....well, it's a first on the psp, that's for sure. Check out the 1Up.com interview and video here.

Kotaku.com had the funniest post today. It has to do with the PS3 and how it's inner workings are currently too big to fit the display model that's been out since last year. check it out..... Playstation 3 to be Fat and Retarded (via Kotaku.com)

so this has nothing to do with games, but i caught a few pics of some artist who makes hyper-realistic sculptures that are freaky-real. the only thing to distance them from reality is the scale. check the pics out here.

I have a friend who has Guitar Hero, and about 2 months ago, she invited me and my fiance to hang out at her house. As soon as we got there, she fired up her PS2 and started playing Guitar Hero. I also played it a bit, but since i had no idea you could adjust the layout for lefties, i sucked at it. This week, i was listening to episode 23? of the Bastardcast, and Justin was going on and on about Guitar Hero, enough that i said " fuck it, i'm trading in Burnout 360 and PGR3 and getting Guitar Hero." best fucking idea i've had all year. this game is so cool it's scary. as a testament to how good it is, i've actually started liking songs that i hated before i started playing this. weird. anyways, blah blah blah. by the way, people, send in your videogame confessions!!!!!!! any story of the sick,twisted,illegal,pathetic, and downright deplorable things you've done for the love of gaming. i know i'm not the only one who stole money from homeless people ...

I guess someone at Game Informer didn't like the free publicity i was giving them, and some of the pics from the new issue were removed from my flickr page. oh well. the issue is on news stands now, so go buy it if you want more Red Steel. I'm surprised it took them this long to get it done. here's the notice We have received a Notice of Infringement from the Yahoo! Copyright Team and have removed the following photos from your photostream.

Since the last few posts, this blog has gotten swamped, and i fucking LOVE it!!!!!! just today, as of 1a.m., this blog's gotten over 65,000 hits!!!!! you fuckers might as well download the new podcast, and subscribe though itunes!!!! anyways, for anyone who is STILL not satisfied with the quality of the pics: too bad. i don't have anything better to post with, and if you really want to read the whole article, buy the mag. it should be in stores next week, suckers!!!!!! wow. i wonder what would have happened if i had posted the new halo:orion screenshots. [Update] The halo:orion stuff is real. it's in the rumor section, and the mag says that it's supposed to be a Stratagy MMO, and there is another game also in development called Halo: forerunner. i'll post a pic and a new podcast later today.

holy crap, my blog has gotten 10,000 hits since i posted those scans. anyways, i just finished reading the actual article in game informer, and it says that the sword and guns can be twisted in your hand, by twisting the rev's remote. so you can shoot gangster style and block with the sword. also, there is split screen and online multiplayer planned, just no details yet. you can also jump over and take cover behind objects by moving the rev's remote towards a upturned table or a wall, and reload by pulling the remote back. by the way, they are ingame screenshots. this game is looking fucking hot as hell.

Aaaah, I finally got around to putting the new podcast out 3 days late. I've realized that there are a lot of podcasts out there that do pretty much the same thing that I've been doing for the last few weeks, so I'm going to NOT get so into the news stuff. If you want to keep up with the videogame news as it breaks, bookmark or syndicate Joystiq.com, Kotaku.com, xbox360fanboy.com, Ps3fanboy.com, Gamespot.com, Gametab.com and Ign.com so there. Also, this podcast features new intro music. It might be temporary, or permanent. I have not decided. Plus, a name the game contest with a REAL prize, Ghost Recon: Summit Strike. download the show Direct Download

Wow. I have not posted anything in over a week..... I'm getting too distracted by wedding stuff and oblivion addiction. But not too distracted to remember kicking a certain person's ass at streetfighter this weekend. It was a tournament too. And I kicked his ass in his own house....To top it off, he's a cub fan!!!!!! PWNED!!!!!
