Call of Duty Getting Paid Premium Service, “Call of Duty Elite.’ Told You.
Earlier this year it was rumored that there was a subscription-based flavor of Call of Duty coming. I thought it made sense. Others didn’t. It’s coming. Told you so.

Gears of War 3 Campaign Trailer Is Pure Metal Brodude Bliss.
Epic Games has dropped the official campaign trailer for Gears of War 3, and it’s everything you’d expect. ‘Splosions!, metal, brodude posturing, and overwrought (and sadly engrossing to me) narrative moments.
Hit the jump to check it out.
Lead Designer of ‘Dragon Age 2’ Kinda Admits It Sucked.
The problem with Dragon Age 2 was that, it was at best, like twenty-three percent of a game. Somewhere in the miasma, there floats the rest of Dragon Age 2. A game that is more than three dungeons, a city, and an unmemorable storyline. I mean, it was a really really good twenty-three percent.
But that’s it.
At least DA2’s lead designer seems aware of this.
Hulk Hogan Is Getting His Own Kinect Game. Now It All Makes Sense.
With the passing of Macho Man last week, it’s good to see that another childhood icon of mine is carrying on. Ye old leather-skinned Hulk Hogan, whose ticker somehow refuses to quit. Hogan isn’t just still among the living, he’s also still the master of whoring his own Existence turned Brand. Thanks to him and the geniuses at Majesco, we’ll be getting a Hulk Hogan game for the Kinect.
Now the peripheral makes perfect sense.
Sony Confirms It’s Working On Next Console. Golly Gosh!
With Wii 2 news carving up the video game websites like a mo’fuckah, I suppose it was only time until Microsoft and Sony were all like “Yo!, we’re totally making new consoles as well! Love us, worship us, fiddle our knobs. Please!” That’s exactly what the CFO of Sony did today.
David O. Russell Quits On The ‘Uncharted Movie’, Praise Everything.
I like David O. Russell. I like Mark Walhberg. What I didn’t like was contemplating an adaptation of one of my favorite video game franchises of the generation, Uncharted, starring the Funky Bunch. Now I’m hoping I don’t have to sweat that anymore, since O. Russel has dropped off the project. This totally means no Wahlberg. Right? Right?!
Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer Being Called To Step Down!, Sweaty Pants No!
Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer is the source of one of the scariest and most amazing conferences ever. You know the one. Where he’s screaming and running around and he gets really sweaty and I’m sure the people in the audience brown-coated their panty liners a bit. Now a major hedge fund player David Einhorn wants to take this gem away from us. Einhorn thinks it’s time for Stevey to throw the deuces up and leave his position.
Microsoft Is Helping Out Young Xbox Live Hacker! Kindness!
While it’s news to me, apparently there was a scam going around Xbox Live last month. Some dude was phishing in Modern Warfare 2, and when he was caught Microsoft didn’t drop the hammer on him. They had him cozy up to their sweaty, stinking, but bizarrely comforting side.
‘BIOSHOCK INFINITE’ propaganda posters are RETRO ART PORN.
BioShock Infinite is so fucking far away that it makes my balls hurt. Ken Levine and Irrational Games know that, and they’ve released a ridiculously gorgeous set of propaganda posters from the BioShock Infinite world to taunt my testicles (and perhaps your testicles and/or clitoris). It hurts. Hurts so good.

Asperger’s Expert Says L.A. Noire Could Be A Teaching Tool?
I need to note that I don’t know very much about Asperger’s outside of the general debris that washes up on our collective pop consciousness. So I’m far from being even adequate in discussing it. However, I have to admit that an Asperger’s expert coming out and discussing L.A. Noire as a teaching tool for those with Asperger’s is very interesting to me.
