Traveling is always fun as long as you know what you’re going to be doing. Be it New York or Dubai, always go prepared. Your next big trip will be to attend HostileCon 2010 in Vegas. Don’t just show up with a box of condoms and facepaint please, here’s some advice.

Pack up your camouflage thongs and plenty of lube because this is gonna be off the hook! Don’t book a hotel just yet as we’ll be working out group rates or housing rentals. We are planning for everyone who has one to bring their significant other so it’s not going to be pure debauchery. However the singles will get plenty of chances to re-populate Vegas through a series of challenges I’ll be throwing out. That’s right, this ain’t no LAN party gayness the geeks are used too! We’ll have prizes for shit you can pull off over the 3-4 nights. We’re all older and wiser so expect to re-enact some scenes from The Hangover and most likely end up out in the desert buck naked and covered in cod liver oil and scorpions. Now that’s a vacation!

I was thinking to myself a few weeks ago, what happened to all the ninja movies?!

Back in the ’90s there were tons of really low budget ninja movies and they must of scared off movie moguls from exploring making more. I recently saw one that was made-for-television quality and it really made me want to see a high budget version. Sure, the upcoming G.I. Joe movie will pit Stormshadow against Snake Eyes which should be pretty epic but that’s just a side story in the epic fail that will be that movie. But I did find one that looks like it has potential. Check out the trailer.

This right here is a great idea.

This may be the coolest trick you can teach a dog.

Here’s another fortress flashback from many many moons ago, an Alliance match of [Ht] and [Djedi] vs. [MC] and [BH]. Videos and speedstats included, wicked. This is all we have left of the old TF world and Tickenest is doing the old community quite the service with all of his videos. So check this match out.

We all reside in IRC (that’s internet relay chat for you noobs) and we’ve been in there for years. Megadeth runs some bots and one of them tracks the number of words everyone is typing. Well I’ve been running the channel since it’s inception so it wouldn’t come as a surprise I’d be at the top but that is recent as Alc[M] has actually been the number 1 for the last 2 years or so. Yes, he sure chats it up a lot but hey that is what IRC is for! If you think you have the conversational prowess to compete, stop by #Hostile on irc.gamesurge.net and show us what you got.

Another great Google Maps find…

It’s important to always be ready for the inevitable.

This right here should help.

Some NHL 10 info has been leaked.

Here’s a look at the new Be a GM mode as well.

I usually don’t enjoy side scrollers or indie style games as much as other people do.

But I’ll admit, this one looks fucking amazing. Read more »

Another map pack for CoD: WaW!!

That’s right, map pack 3 drops in August.

I know most of you loathe the Twitter revolution. I totally get it, as someone who enjoys twitter I have found what I can get entertainment from and do find it one of the most useful places for news and keeping tabs on people I am interested in. One of the great features in Twitter is the ability to take a photo from your phone and immediately have it tweeted for all your followers. Well some brainiac figured out how to display every image that gets uploaded to one of the main image sites that allows this and now has this enormous wall of images just flowing in. It’s very addictive to watch everyones stupid phone images!! Check it out.

Have you ever enjoyed the awesomeness of a Jelly Belly? Gourmet jellybeans can not be beat. If you ever get a chance go grab some and you’ll quickly see why they are called gourmet. If you’re really ballsy though then you should look for Bertie Bott’s flavored beans which have some insanely nasty flavors. Check out the full list. Then, get your hands on both kinds, mix ‘em up and have a jellybean off with some friends. Basically just have them reach into a pile and pull 1 out. They can eat it and then choose who picks next or they can pass off the bean. If they pass it to someone and that person eats it, that person can choose any 2 beans for the other person to eat.
