MW 2 Videos and Info

Tue Sep 22, 2009 at 09:25:26 AM EDT

Hellllloooooooo,

I found this site last week, I'm sure many of you have seen it and checked out the videos, (they're different from those on IGN and such, much much much better IMO) but may be some haven't seen them!! :)

Anyways, have a look, lemme know if anyone's found any other sites, i'm crawling the internet for info....also a little excited for November.

Also note, that there is information about weapons and some of the multiplayer, all of which is publicly known but compiled nicely, if you DO NOT want to know about anything multiplayer, don't hit the link. Just a warning so I don't ruin it for anyone.

Anyways, what'd you think?

Gabe Newell's Going Down Under

Tue Sep 15, 2009 at 08:39:28 AM EDT

Not sure if anyone's actually read this yet, but I had a good laugh at it.
Someone who was upset about not being flown to Valve to see the new L4D2 Campaign and a modder is flying Gabe and Eric the Project Manager to Australia to preview it there at his home.
Valve employees donated money, haha. Imagine an April's Fools in their office.

"Fly Gabe Newell" Raises $3000

That started about a week ago, apparently they're confirmed it with Valve and everyone involved, they're actually going. I'm impressed with the Valve heads for actually following through and planning on going, don't think many other studio's give their fans the time of day like Valve do.

Gabe's going Airborne.

Anyways, may be someone else has more info on this, I'm just reading it on random sites. I'm curious if anyone has more details :)

ODST Live Action Trailer Promo Video

Fri Sep 04, 2009 at 04:21:34 PM EDT

Hey All,

I know not everyone is interested in ODST, but definately a very well done trailer for live action. Hopefully this is the very lowest bar set for video game movies that are in the pipeline.

RANT - Matchmaking

Tue Nov 11, 2008 at 06:18:19 PM EDT

WTF Happened with the matchmaking in Gears 2.

I love the game, the campaigns great and online has been pretty good if you manage to get into a game but honestly, how did they f*** up the match making so that it takes 10 minutes to find a match. Seriously was there no testing done?

OMG This needs to be fixed because its f***ing terrible. End of rant.

Bad Company makes fun of Solid Snake

Tue Jun 17, 2008 at 01:39:18 PM EDT

Whether or not you own a PS3, there's a pretty good chance you caught wind of the Metal Gear Solid 4 release last week. There's also a pretty good chance that you are at least familiar with the series. Perhaps you even know that Solid Snake, protagonist of the series, has a habit of hiding in barrels and boxes. There's one thing we know for sure though, and that is that Battlefield: Bad Company developer DICE definitely knows about the series. In a new video the soldiers of Bad Company poke fun at the longstanding Metal Gear convention. In short, it's pretty damned funny. Find the video after the break.

Had to share..

Tue May 27, 2008 at 04:50:44 PM EDT



I saw this and just had to share it with everyone. Just hilarious in my books.

There is also some new photos/scans in very high resolution on X3F. Here is a link to a story about the new Flamethrower [Not to the scans, those aren't linked, you'll have to look at X3F to find those.]

Microsoft Exec. attacks PS3 Console.

Fri May 09, 2008 at 04:26:53 PM EDT

Hey guys,
Found this on X3F and thought it was quite interesting especially some peoples comments about how may the PS3 was the console that was rushed and not the Xbox. Anyways there is some quotes by Mr Greenberg to make you all feel better about dealing with the RROD.

"We have been fighting Sony's promises from the day we entered the market. Three years ago at E3 they showed what PS3 games would supposedly look like with the Killzone 2 video, that we are now learning will ship four years later. That means that we will have shipped Gears of War and Gears of War 2 before they can even get Killzone out the door."

"Think back to GDC 2007 when Sony promised to leap ahead in online with the Sony Home unveil. Here we are two years later and multiple delays for a product that has appears to have little to no buzz. Where are the achievements? The friends list integration across all games? Where is the long-promised video store?"

"Where are all the other products using and networking with their Cell chip? How come Blu-ray did not result in better games? What happened with Sixaxis and rumble? Where is the complete 1080p game library we were promised? If Blu-ray, as they said, would be such a catalyst to PS3 console sales, then why have PS3 sales over the past couple months not seen any lift since the format victory?"
