Toys R’ Us 1996 CHRISTMAS CATALOG is gaming nostalgic bliss.
Friends, take a walk with me. We shall walk together through the land of gaming’s past. Here in the land, we shall appreciate those warm and fuzzy days when Sega was still producing consoles, Vectorman was dominating my friend Brian’s Genesis, and I was still firing blanks. It was 1996.

‘BIOSHOCK INFINITE’ is getting a B-Side cover, and we decide.
Ken Levine was pretty forthright in his explanation of why BioShock Infinite‘s cover was straight dude-rock. To make the title seem appealing to those who hadn’t heard of it. It’s a fucking industry, people! In an effort to combat the less than tasty cover, Irrational Games is offering a chance to vote on the flip-side cover. Pretty solid move, in my honest humble truthful wonderful blessed opinion.
Buy EVERY SUPER NINTENDO GAME EVER for $24,999. Not bad, not bad.
Quick, swine! Hook me up during this holiday season. I don’t really need every single Super Nintendo game ever, but do we actually ask for things we need during Christmas time? Fuck no! Embrace the excessiveness. Do so, of course, by buying me this ridiculous lot.
Gabe Newell: Valve will release its own console-esque PC for living room.
Gabe Newell! Confirming what the lot of us already knew! Me! Reporting it days after it was first confirmed. Hey, whatever, bro.
Press Start: Digital Afterlife & Rebirth
Does anyone else regularly think about the intro sequence from Ghost In The Shell? I remember how amazing it was. I loved watching that shell being born: all dripping liquid and hydraulics. Birth without all the mess: I can dig it.
As I step out of the shower, I feel a similar kind of (re)birth and I’m ready to fill this pool up with enough gaming news to drown anyone foolish enough not to wear water wings. Get in.
MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE: Death Rays for Deadbeats!
When the cultists descend from the Mountains, they’ll find my dessicated corpse next to the Xbox 360. If they’re willing to interact with the rot-flesh, perchance they could save my game. One last final save of my Mass Effect 3 playthrough, sending the file to a cloud server that no longer heeded requests. This is the way the world ends. A landfill of forgotten files on servers, leftover Netflix subscriptions no longer churning out endless episodes of Twin Peaks. Oh, I don’t know what the fuck I’m saying. This is Monday Morning Commute. The column where all us barely-evolved monkeys with keys to the Nanoverse share the things that are entertaining us on a given week. What are you partaking in this week, you turkeys?
‘THE LAST OF US’ VGA 10 TRAILER: Now with more release date!
Here’s the trailer for The Last of Us that dropped tonight at VGA 10. It’s got a release date too, wee! Expect it —May 7, 2013.
Rumor: ‘METAL GEAR SOLID 5’ secretly announced at SPIKE VGA. Oh, Kojima!
At the Spike VGA, the game The Phantom Pain was revealed. Ain’t nobody had heard of it, or its developer, and this was a bit of a head scratcher. It is not usual for such a sexy looking entity to come out of nowhere. What if, folks, there was more to this story! What if, that title was actually Metal Gear Solid V? It would be so fucking Kojima, that’s what.
‘BIOSHOCK INFINITE’ delayed until March 2013, but it’s like good!
Bad news: BioShock Infinite is getting delayed. Good news: there is a deluge of previews out today, and they are all covered in juices and smiles.
Next ‘MASS EFFECT 3’ DLC has all the creators back together. Or something.
Yeah, I bought Mass Effect 3: Omega. No, it wasn’t worth the fifteen dollars. Though, it was enjoyable. So fuck yes you bet your bottom dollar that I won’t learn my lesson when the next piece of ME DLC drops.
