Kid blows $2,500 on microtransactions in 10 minutes. Nice.

LOL.

Watch out parents. Your kids are going to destroy your life with microtransactions. Hide your Apple ID. Hide its password. Otherwise, you’re going to have a broke ass  bank account, and a glorious pimped out ninja.

Maybe: ‘ASSASSIN’S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG’ is franchise’s next installment. Here is a poster.

AC4 OR SOMETHING.

Another year. Another Ass Creed. The floodgates are open, and we are awash in the 2013 cycle of rumors surrounding the franchise. The latest? The next title will be starring Johnny Depp as Ass Creed Pirate, rollicking about the high seas. Or something close to that.

‘CALL OF DUTY’ creators revealing their new game at E3. About f**king time.

West and Zampella.

Those two guys who were fired by Activision because they were going to make like a zillion dollars in Modern Gunfaire royalities or whatever are finally going to reveal their new game. Yep.

Playstation: Episode IV – A New Hope

PS41

Perhaps I expect too much, or maybe I’m just not as connected to the world of contemporary gaming as I want to believe I am, but something about the reception towards Sony’s PS4 announcement strikes me as being particularly lukewarm. Sure, I’m old enough now to realise that the promises of seas parting and maidens flocking aren’t ever true, but I did expect a little more fan-fare than “well, it’s not completely shit…”

Beyond the lacklustre offerings of the Wii U and the PS Vita, or the lingering promise of something from Valve or Apple, gamers have little to feed upon lately.

So, let’s join hands and embark upon this adventure together.

First official ‘PLAYSTATION 4’ controller and camera pics. Tech swag.

The controller.

Herein, I shall be fetishizing the newest PlayStation gadgetry. I imagine rubbing the components up against my naked skin. Hardened, painfully taut nipples of mine manipulate the analog sticks with uncomfortable dexterity. All the while, the camera watches. All the while. The camera watches.
