A real man would scoff at that weak shit...
New Mass Effect 2 DLC tomorrow. Hovertank and 5 missions for free, shitty costume pack for 160 moonbucks. New character DLC coming April 7th for 7 bones.
Hahaha... Would You Pay Women To Play Xbox Games With You?
SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW
A new service launches tomorrow, called GameCrush, where men can pay money to play over Xbox Live with an "attractive girl" (Warning: NSFW)
Yes, this is real. Xbox Live prostitution, if you will.
Interested, lonely men (or cashed up pranksters) can sign up to the site, and once there, choose from two options: play a simple Flash game (checkers, etc) against a "PlayDate", where you get face-to-face time with one of these "attractive girls" over a webcam, or join them for a bit of multiplayer over Xbox Live.
A single game of either will cost you $8.25, with Xbox Live matches running for 10 minutes, and Flash games for 6.
Girls somehow interested in this should know there's money to be made, with 60% of the proceeds from a match going to the "PlayDate", who at the conclusion of a game can be rated by the user on her "hotness, gaming skill, and flirtiness".
GameCrush is restricted to those 18 years old and over, and players can select one of two kinds of match/date. I'll let the site's FAQ explain. "We have created two broad categories, "Flirty" and "Dirty" to help the PlayDate define and match her mood of gaming interaction and experience with those of the players. You can choose either option or both depending on how you feel!"
There are already 1200 "PlayDates" registered on the site, some of whom are serious about the whole thing, others less so, while others were born in former Communist states, caught whiff of the scent of internet money and stuck out their tits accordingly.
It's so hard trying to decide whether this is the best thing we've ever seen, or the worst. Might need to flip a coin.
There are four Xbox 360 games supported so far, those being Halo 3, GTAIV, Modern Warfare 2 and Gears of War 2. If this somehow takes off, you can expect more platforms, as well as MMO titles, to be supported.
To your left, you'll find a selection of some of the ladies (well, mostly ladies) who will be sitting by their computers tomorrow, waiting just for you. Big boy. (WARNING: Some of it's a little NSFW).

The Immortal - you're a wizard wandering a dungeon, the death animations are killer, exploding heads, melting bodies, pits of death, most metal 16 bit game ever.
and CONTRA HARD CORPS fucking KICKS FUCKING ASS

Miyamoto has been hinting around he may incorporate Nintendo's Vitality sensor into the new Zelda, possibly to make enemies stronger the more "scared" you are while playing.

As I was playing FFXIII the other day I realized how much I missed old school SNES rpgs. I love FFXIII but it doesn't satisfy me quite like FFVI or Lufia II did. So I downloaded the zSNES emulator and got a few roms. Along with Lufia II and FFVI, I downloaded FFIV, Terranigma Tales of Phantasia, Bahamut Lagoon, Treasure of the Rudras, and Star Ocean. The last four are modified so they're in english. I haven't played any of them, aside from FFVI and Lufia, and they're supposed to be some of the best RPGs on the SNES, even the ones that weren't released domestically.
Bahamut Lagoon is awesome so far. Fuck yeah.

Just Cause 2 is a blast.

The guild quests, especially The Dark Brotherhood, more than makeup for the vampire faggotry.
Fuck yes, The Witcher 2 trailer. First one was with some minor annoyances and I hope the second is as good or better. Hopefully this means the game will be out this year.

They hold up in the "Things work and the hardware is decent for what it is meant for" area. I am more a Linux guy, but I have a Macbook at home for general things (browsing, chatting, office shit, etc), I only can say that it works. For gaming they are totally weak though, but more because of lack of options.
Back to topic: Last night I started Mass Effect 2 and I am already totally pumped.

OH YEAH OKAY I SEE HOW IT IS. Well, here they are anyway.
Made the female for my Renegade playthrough. Hot space-bitch with Jennifer Hale voice =
I really wish the face creator was more easily accessible and you could rotate the face properly, I'm fine with how the male Shepard looks from this angle, but from others, it looks like his cheeks have caved in or something. I hope ME3 will allow you to redo the face at the beginning again.

Hey, that male Shepard looks oddly familiar. The lighting sucks on the character creator, too. It's a good thing that opening part is unskippable because I would have created a face, become disgusted, create a new face, become revolted, etc etc...

Hopefull this goes to the consoles. They had a console version of the first one in the works, but scrapped it. Looked awesome.

The Witcher's an older game so the recommended PC specs aren't bad at all.
SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW
* Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2, Vista (Operating System must be up to date with the latest fixes)
* Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
* 2 GB RAM
* NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX or ATI Radeon X1950 PRO
* 8.5 GB available hard drive space
* DirectX 9.0c compliant soundcard, plus speakers or headphones
* DVD-Rom
You should definitely play this game, it's one of the better RPGs from the last few years.
