Good news for TF2er’s!! Valve has finally announced some info about the new content coming. While we just thought a couple new maps were coming it looks like a weapon unlock system is also in the works. I’d of been happy with more custom maps because my biggest beef is just having to play gravlepit and dustbowl over n’ over, it makes the game a dodge spam game and that is boring as hell. Especially when there is dope user made maps out there!! Just gotta know where to look.
April is still a ways away but the line-up for Coachella is out and as always, yummy.
There’s 3 things I look for in upcoming MMO’s:
Fun Factor
Low System Requirements
FREE
I don’t know if this game meets the first one but it definitely meets the other two so give it a whirl and let me know if it’s legendary!
I know you guys are all broken up your favorite gay cowboy went and died today but there’s bigger news to discuss. namely, Wii technology. There’s this guy named Johnny Lee who’s a wiz when it comes to showing us what is in store for the future of gaming. First, check out how he uses the Wii technology to get a virtual whiteboard to work, Minority Report styles. Then click the jump to watch his latest and greatest where he gets full head tracking style gameplay to come to life!! Amazing.
Alright motherfuckers. It’s time to get so fuckin’ hardcore you’ll need a turtle shell to protect you. That’s right, we’re bringing the baddest ass bitches to the forefront with this head slamming sound. So grab a bottle of turpentine, a shot glass and sit back as some real gangstas throw down for your enjoyment.
Click the jump to watch the trailer for Off Road Velociraptor Safari. Why should you watch it? Well first, the game’s going to be a free PC based game for download next week. Second, FlashBang Studios is making it and promises more free games, such as this Bust-A-Move rip-off.
The Good, The Bad, The Last Place
The Hostile EPL league hits week 24 with a few insanely close races. The 1st place showdown has been between myself and Alc, as I’ve been bridging the gap every week to cut his 100 point initial lead down to 8 and with a 100+ score last week the momentum has switched. MrBuzzcut had a big week this week to secure 3rd place from Bucky who now trails by 7. Kart had the high this week with 81 but might be too out of it to compete for the top but could still weasel his way into 3rd. The brothers Fero and Indig continue to be neck and neck while all of the latecomers continue to show they belong with decent outputs week to week. Watch out next year when this one means a lot more.
We may still be waiting for TF2 content to make the game interesting again but in the meantime EA has decided to jump on board the cartoony train and have announced Battlefield Heroes which is a class based shooter from the BF series using the cartoon style models for the players. The best news about this it will be free! Anyways, this is what it will look like. Thumbs down so far.
For the third week in a row, no one gave the Giants a shot to win. Nor will they next week. Fuck Tom Brady, the perfect season gets destroyed in 2 weeks.
In other sports news: Rick Nash is fucking nasty.
1 Million Easter Bunnies vs. The Tooth Fairy
I’m very happy as it looks like one of my favorite games I’ve ever gotten to work on is getting a port to XBox 360 and the Wii. Bully: Scholarship Edition is getting an upgrade with some new missions and some 2 player additions, including the below displayed pigeon dissection mini-game. It’s an underrated game because it got the tag, GTA in a Private School. Which isn’t true, it’s a raunchy li’l open based world game with some very fun mini-game and mission fun.
Another game out of the thriving Vancouver game development market is Radical’s Prototype. A cool looking Hulk style game (they made the last one) where you leap and demolish shit all day. Click the jump to watch the Prototype character take down an attacking Apache helicopter.
IRC is always the most entertaining place on the internet. It’s where all the weird and funny shiz is found and shared first. Here’s a collection of videos spammed in #Hostile at some point tonight.

It’s amazing how much flack video games gets for being violence inducing. Do people really believe because you can headshot terrorists in CounterStrike that you’d be a risk in society for walking out your door with a sniper rifle? The argument by idiots like Jack Thompson and other old people who need a scapegoat to survive have always fallen on deaf ears, until now. With video games taking to new heights and the subsequent rise in actual video game violence, it’s no surprise that it’s not going unnoticed. We can look forward to a day when clans and web based organizations are monitored by the g-men. Watch the video after the jump and you may agree, maybe it’s time they are…
