Morning Cup o’ Metal

Continuing the theme this week, I bring to you “Train of Consequences” off of the first album I ever bought from the group titled Youthanasia. This is probably one of the more well known tracks off that album, and probably one of my favorite Megadeth songs of all time. I’m so glad that Mustaine and […]

New Gears 2 DLC Sounds Amazing

New Gears 2 DLC Sounds Amazing

Major Nelson recently had Epic’s Cliffy B on his podcast and discussed the upcoming DLC for Gears of War 2, titled Dark Corners. On the podcast, the designer revealed to us that the content was originally in Gears of War 2, but was cut out of the game’s release. Marcus and Dom are actually going […]

PaRappa the Rapper with Natal?

PaRappa the Rapper with Natal?

Masaya Matsuura is interested in Natal…very interested. Though there’s nothing set in stone just yet, he’s been tossing around ideas with his team about making a new game for the 360 that would utilize the unique aspects of Natal in a way that would bring about a “new breed of gameplay”. Anyone who’s played PaRappa […]

‘Family Games’ on Steam

‘Family Games’ on Steam

C’mon Valve, really? Is there really a need to further segment the gaming community who loves your service? I guess so. As it stands right now there are currently 120 games listed under the new Family Games category on Steam. From what I saw, many of the games were…how can I put it…more girly than […]

The Best Video You’ll See Today (Potential NSFW)

Fellatio in reference to a Sprite…hahaha. Don’t worry kiddies, this video is SFW though it has recently been banned from Germany. The more prudish people in your office might not approve of the video, but we all cheered and applauded after watching.

Gabe Newell Wants Your Money

Gabe Newell Wants Your Money

Gabe Newell is another one of these game developers who really shouldn’t be spending time in front of a camera. You guys are better suited at making games than talking about them in interviews, get over it already. My case in point is the latest interview he did with Good Game, where he expounds the […]

Morning Cup o Metal

Let’s kick off this week of Morning Cup o’ Metal with a theme that I can get behind…all Megadeth all week! Today’s track, Symphony of Destruction, is off of their album Countdown to Extinction which was released all the way back when I was just a 12 year old lad back in 1992…which I don’t […]

The Insanity Begins

The Insanity Begins

By now, all of you are sick and tired of all the news and price points for Infinity Ward’s CoD:MW2. Yes we all know it’s going to have some ‘night-vision goggles’ packed in with its Prestige Edition. Yes we know that the game is going to cost considerably more in the UK than what us […]

New Gravity Crash Screens

New Gravity Crash Screens

I don’t know why, but I get all sorts of Solar Jetman vibes from seeing these new screens that VG247 just posted for the upcoming PSN shooter Gravity Crash. The game from Just Add Water, plays on old guys’ sentimentality by combining retro elements with current-gen gameplay. I hope that there’s a bit more to […]

Bayonetta, Another Casualty of 2009

Bayonetta, Another Casualty of 2009

I’m sorry gamers, but it looks like we’ve lost another game that was meant for 2009 to that bastard of a year that has yet to come. It seems that Platinum Games and Sega have decided to put off the North America and Europe launch of their awesome brawler Bayonetta off until next year, around […]

J-Blow is an Opinionated Ass

J-Blow is an Opinionated Ass

Which leads me to believe he’d fit in here just nicely at MWN…that is if it weren’t for all the interviews that I listened to that make the title line ring home. Serously guys, from what I’ve heard, the dude’s got a cleft-asshole that would make the Virgin Mary blush. I’ve heard the crosses he’s […]

Glenn Beck’s Freakout – In Vampire Format

We don’t normally do political stories, but The Pilsbury Doughboy Glenn Beck went off the deep end on his radio show the other day when a caller suggested that he is misleading the American people when it comes to healthcare reform. This had me in tears laughing this morning, compared to how stressed out the […]

Morning Cup o’ Metal

The Hurt Process, man what a great group…they’ve done exactly what musicians should do to have a legacy, they should come in hard, rock it for a few years/albums and then subsequently break up. None of this ‘double-live album’ bullshit, no chances for there to be falling outs that get resolved 2-3 albums later. This […]
