With Age of Conan in both the Open and Closed beta and with the Open Beta being expanded for PvP people are finally starting to take notice and see if this is their next MMO. Most of the Hostiles will be playing in the Closed Beta but in the end we’ll all end up together. You’ll start to see more info on our AoC forums regarding recruitment and Bucky and I will continue to throw out information you really should be staying up on, such as this PvP interview that just got posted. There’s also new information on how cities will be built and what the structures look like. After the break you can see all the construction in action. Read more »

You know what I hate. Conforming. I could never work a job where I have to wear a uniform or a suit cuz I don’t conform. I could never be a member of some ludicrous religion or sect cuz I won’t conform. And I hate being a blogger cuz it’s queerness in a bottle and to ensure I don’t conform to the laws of the blogosphere today’s update has no deliberate theme or subject, just pure randomness in the form of links. If you don’t like it, go conform in a corner asshole.

Have you ever heard of Volcano Lightning? Intense.

Time to check out the 1st billion dollar home.

Did you know that you can order pubic lice through the mail?

If you own a Canon camera, then this may interest you.

ISP’s throttle Torrenting, so check to see if you’re being violated.

Funny stuff from Stephen Colbert who is battling K-pop legend Rain. Check it.

Arsenal superstar Fabregas gets set on fire.

Oh sweet! Dinner in a bottle!

If you’re savvy towards electronic music then there’s no doubt you’ve heard of Justice. One of the darlings of electro, Justice tracks are played everywhere and there’s even one in the new GTA. With a Daft Punkish feel it’s no wonder it draws people in. Well, a new video for the track Stress has surfaced and I am posting it up as it’s one of the most Hostile videos I have seen yet. Take a look. Read more »

If you’re like me one thing the internet really has flourished in is being able to buy anything from anywhere. Or even if you’re just a window shopper, comparing prices and finding new things you never knew existed. Here’s a few things to spend on:

Camcorders have sure dropped in price, check out The Flip. It’s extremely tiny and very affordable. If you need something a bit more professional then this one might be more your speed.
If you want to populate your office or house with weaponry that will never harm anyone then check out this foam arsenal. Those zany Germans spare no expense when it comes to violence.

Do you feel the need to be a member of something? Has your Ht application been rejected? Has the Church of Scientology kicked you out already? Then you’ll want to sign-up to become a member of The Very Secret Order of Creatives Understanding even if it’s just to get their cool art in a mailed brochure.

If you think you’re a baller like Lox then you’ll want a pimp iPod like this Courvoisier Coolness.

It’s about time someone did something cool with keychains too, everyone has one and they all pretty much suck.

Finally, lets all climb in this tub together.

Portal fans or anyone who plays the flash games linked in our Flash Gamez for Faggutz thread may be interested in trying out the new map pack the folks over at WeCreateStuff just released. They went ahead and took the maps from their flash version of Portal and ported them for the real deal. Shack claims it is worth your time, especially if you haven’t loaded up Portal in some time. Estimated time to finish is an impressive and most likely mentally straining 3 1/2 hours.

I wasted a few hours at work one day on that portal flash version so playing some of those maps is on my list. So is playing AoC Closed beta, GTA4, attempting to spend all my money in PotBS before my sub runs out, updating the blog, upgrading the forums….. okay, one thing at a time. Yep, GTA4 wins.

I haven’t had much time to update lately, thanks to the addictiveness of GTA IV and the Age of Conan beta beginning. Stay tuned for plenty more info on the 2 big games as much of #Hostile is playing one or the other and all the chit chat seems to resolve around murderous refunds from prostitutes or dodging beheading attacks. Here’s a few hints that have helped me out in Liberty City.

Look for small blue icons on pedestrians, you will find a random interactive stranger occasionally. You’ll meet some interesting people and get some free cash!

Call a cab using LB when on foot and one is in sight. You can sit back and pay for a ride to any of your listed destinations, saving you the trouble of smacking into cops on the way home from a date. While the cabbies aren’t the best drivers, pressing X will make him get there faster. You can also teleport right to your direction but you’ll have to pay double the fare. But then, once you’re bankrolled what’s $30 anyways? I’ve found this invaluable for getting to and from missions as you can also bring a friend along to any of the destinations. Island hopping made easy!

Be careful when taking friends to destinations, if they are injured the ‘date’ is over and they will not respond for a short time. They will eventually contact you for a ride from the hospital. It still counts as a date…sort of.

Eventually you’ll be granted internet access. There’s tons of hilarious things to view such as the Myspace and Craigslist clones but there’s useful stuff too. Visiting www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com at one of the game’s internet cafes will provide you with maps showing the locations of pigeons, weapons, armor, and other assorted goodies.

Go to the theatre and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Right. You will begin to perform the ballet “The Rites of Spring”, when you go outside, a riot will have started! (unconfirmed)

Picking up hookers will still replenish your health and now they have 3 levels of satisfaction to grant. Finding them may be a bit harder than in San Andreas as they are only out at certain times of the night and in certain locations. One of the first batch you’ll encounter is when you arrive at your 2nd Safehouse, on the street corner at night. Just pull up, honk to pick one up and find a dark alley to seal the deal. Don’t forget to kill them once complete to get your money back.

When you hit up the Strip Club, go for a lapdance. Make sure you sit and pay for 3 full lapdances. You’ll see why if you watch this spoiler.

Your phone is your lifeblood. Here’s a few numbers after the jump to help you out. Read more »

I know I promised the new Hostile logos for t-shirts to order and don’t worry, they are coming.

Pricing has occurred and just a few more decisions need to be made.

In the meantime, you could always buy this one to hold you over.

Man, this right here takes the cake when it comes to irony.

So bored today, stuck at work so have to wait to keep playing GTA 4, the Age of Conan authentication shit is screwed for us beta testers so instead think I’ll just watch this video of a girl who is stuck inside her dress. Read more »

When it comes to Quarterbacks it’s tough to discredit what Brett Favre accomplished in his years on the field. He never missed a game and threw a shitload of TD’s. He also played with passion, rare to see with todays athletes. While he’s still on the fence regarding retirement as he hasn’t signed the final papers yet it was a safe bet this year that EA went and got him for the cover of Madden ’09. The Madden curse can’t possibly knock out a retired player can it?

But is Brett Favre the best QB of our era? Is it Peyton? Nope, it’s Peyton’s li’l bro Eli. Sure he’s had his ups and downs but so would you playing in Giants Stadium. But now with a Superbowl and MVP behind him you’ll see Eli become one of the greatest QB’s of all time. So thank you EA for not going for the obvious best QB out there and going with a wrinkly old prune of a QB to kill off with your cursed cover. Click the jump to watch Favre’s progression through the years in Madden and also the dark side of Peyton Manning. Read more »
