Dude HACKS ‘CONTRA’ ROM to PROPOSE to girlfriend. Nerd Legend.
This dude is doubling down on a fantastic life. Not only has he received a promise of love for eternity from his now-fiance, but he is blowing up across the internet thanks to his marriage proposal. This dude is living the fucking dream.
‘XBOX ONE’ continues it’s BACKPEDALLING; will allow INDIES to SELF-PUBLISH
I have to hand it to the Xbox One. It is fucking awesome at moonwalking. Just backpedalling like a motherfucker. All smooth and shit, feet gliding over the floor.
New BIOWARE FRANCHISE coming from ‘KOTOR’ and ‘MASS EFFECT’ creators. Bio-Boner.
It’s neat enough that the Gears of Bro: Judging You producer is helming the Mass Effect franchise. It’s even neater that this is freeing up the creators of the series to strike out into a new franchise. A new world! A whole new world, filled with dialogue choices and reputation systems!
TODAY: The FAMICOM’S 30TH ANNIVERSARY.
Today is the Famicom’s 30th anniversary. Naw, not the Nintendo Entertainment System. That son of a bitch launched two years later. Still, this was the system that launched a zillion-childhoods. It may have been repackaged before crossing into the Western World, but this was the console that started it all for a lot of us.
Thirty years.
Jesus.
‘GEARS OF WAR’ PRODUCER leaves company to rock out on ‘MASS EFFECT 4.’
This news dropped last week, but I didn’t cover it. I was probably busy screaming at teenagers to “read their fucking book” and gagging myself with bananas behind the local 7-Eleven. Shut up, it’s therapeutic. Anyways, the senior producer on Gears of War: Judgment has departed Those Epic People to glom onto Mass Effect 4.
‘RATCHET & CLANK: INTO THE NEXUS’ IS REAL; GIVING ME AROUSAL TIME.
Well, God be good! After Insomniac Games dropped that Fuze? Fuse? Fuzzy? with its mature multiplayer nonsense, I had feared the company and I had parted ways. Well, it looks like them fuckers have won me back. With an an accidental early reveal of a new Ratchet game.
Suda 51 brings the Peace
The upcoming Anime compilation Short Peace, featuring several directors- chief among them being Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo – is getting a video game spin-off/episode led by gaming’s favourite madman, Suda 51.
‘GRAND THEFT AUTO V’ GAMEPLAY TRAILER: Yokels, Helicopters, and More
Here is the gameplay trailer for Rockband’s Grand Theft Auto: 5. It’s pretty much what you’d expect for the thirty-third installment in the series, with a few twists and nibbles along the way.
How stoked are you for this title? Probably more than me.
WUT: More ‘BORDERLANDS 2’ DLC coming. Shoot & Loot 4-Eva.
Holy mung, sign me up. There is more Borderlands 2 DLC in the works. I had thought (and I don’t think I’m alone) that Tiny Tina was the last installment of DLC for the franchise. Turns out, it was the last installment for the season pass. Well shit. Looks like whatever comes out next I will have to pay for, but I don’t give no shits.
MICROSOFT dropping charging DEVELOPERS for game updates. Competition GET.
Microsoft is dropping their policy of charging game developers for patches, and other updates. Pretty neat. The cost apparently was significant, and if I recall correctly drove away indie studios from patching their games and the such. Was it Fez that gave up being patched? I think? Anyways — neat.
