Dude stuffs Xbox Down His Pants, Eventually Gets Tasered. Stupidity Rules.
I love stupid people. Namely because I am one, and knowing they’re out there helps ease my burden of existence. Helps roll my boulder if you will. Last week some dude applied for a job at Best Buy. When he was turned down, he did what any sensible person would. Stuffed an Xbox down his pants.

Dude Huge: “Code Magic” Can Squeeze More Power Out Of 360.
Cliffy B and the Wunder Heads behind Gears of War 3 offered up a gorgeous HGH-fueled engine that somehow still surprised even this late into the 360’s life cycle. Dude Huger has proclaimed that even more can be gotten getted good.
Man Threatens To Blow-Up Best Buy After Selling Out of ‘Modern Warfare 3’. Dedication.
I got myself a copy of Modern Warfare 3. Ain’t played it yet. But I got it. Loromin Sar isn’t so lucky. Dude rolled up to a Best Buy wanting to snag it…but they were sold out. That’s when he threatened to blow the joint up.
World of Warcraft Subscriptions Down 10%, Still Sports Bulging User Base.
You know an MMO is enormous when it can shed 10% of its user base and still have a raging community. Such is the life of WoW, the Eternal Juggernaut of the MMO realm. As the news portends however, slowly the community is sloughing off its addiction.
PETA Claims ‘Battlefield 3’ Will Turn You Into Animal Murderer. Oh C’mon Now.
You have to hand it to PETA. Somehow a group that is designed to protect animals generally comes off like unbearably pious pricks. That’s difficult. From what I’ve gathered via the news reports, there’s a moment of Battlefield 3 when you kill a rat. PETA has come to the obvious conclusion that this will turn us into animal-destroying blood drinks.
Manchu WoW: Pandaria, 5.0, and Where World of Warcraft is Now
Did you look as confused as I and my friend Kiki here did when Blizzard unveiled World of Warcraft‘s fourth expansion at Blizzcon last month?
Blizzard’s golden child is going into its eighth year, and Mists of Pandaria is the game’s early, bi-curious, bipolar adolescence, rife with identity crises and plenty of confusion about its future and its present.
Pandaria and the future of WoW, however, have real, hidden meat (#unnecessary) that the average or even relatively-savvy player can’t see unless they frequent Blizzard news posts or community chat.
Unless you’re an insane WoW addict like me or my kind, you don’t do that and can’t be expected to; your barometer on the wildly successful MMO is whatever Blizzard’s handsome devil of a mouthpiece (and resident head of creative, Chris Metzen) dishes out every year on stage to a convention hall packed with nerds, later carved into bite-size youtube clips.
So what’d we get this year?
Bamboo-stic, panda-rife, Asian-stir-fried nonsense in place of a genuine, thrilling tease for a new expansion, one that’s been conceptualized and billed as a return to almighty WAR in a game that’s largely been lacking it for years.
The reveal smacked of something less timely than Blizzard’s usual spectacles. It almost seemed like the company — which, let’s get real, has just about the greatest track record in game development, ever? — was unaware that its greatest threat is coming on December 20th of this very year.
Rumor: Next Xbox Codenamed ‘Loop’, Running On Windows 9.
I’ve said it before, but I love the lifespan of his console generation. No new hardware to buy! Titles upon titles. It’s been a fruitful five years. Yet, nothing gold can stay. We have ourselves some Next Xbox rumors afoot.
