Noel Gallager Enters Politics by Believing Everything He Hears, Except Hip-Hop

In the latest bit of retard people calling out video games as the reason for violence, the sooper famous ultra mega huge still churning out hit songs Oasis frontman, Noel Gallagher chimed in to share his two cents.

Thanks to GamesIndustry.biz for the info about this.  When talking about recent knife violence in London,  GamesIndustry.biz quoted Noel as saying, "People say it's through violent video games and I guess that's got something to do with it." Yeah, that's great Noel, believe everything that people say.  Weren't you the one who got up on stage and sang "Champagne Supernova in yer BUM!" when you you having fights with your brother some years back?  You acted like a child then and are still acting like one now. 

Ok, so next issue...why did GamesIndustry.biz put this under Politics.  I'm sorry, but last I checked Oasis is a BAND and Noel is a band member and video games can be categorized under ENTERTAINMENT.  It's a small bit to argue, but I don't like Oasis and I don't like it when singer dorks think they can say something about the issues of the day.  Write music, sing songs and otherwise stop talking unless you are working to try to solve the problem.  As much as I don't like Bono, the man is actually doing things to make a difference.

Ok...Saturday afternoon rant over.

Alone In The Dark's Mechanics Scare Me More Than the Story

Ok ok ok...so I have been playing (struggling thru) Alone in the Dark and I fucking hate this game.  Look, I really played the original on my PC some number of years ago and LOVED IT.  This new XBox360 abomination...wow!  Die and die more.

I made the following video right after I played the game and resisted snapping the disk in half, so bear with a few moments where I might not make sense, but here you go...

Diablo 3 Is Coming Out Before Duke Nukem Forever

ZOMG!  We all knew it was coming, but didn't really know it for sure.  Well, today in France, Blizzard announced Diablo 3 officially and shared a bunch of screenshots and videos with the public.  I have to say, the game looks awesome and, in fact, almost done.  Take a look at the teaser trailer first.

The game looks quite polished already, but Blizzard (being typical Blizzard) is not giving a release date.  They will release it when it is good and ready.  Check out another video of how awesome and polished this thing looks.

The plan is to release PC and Mac only...which I expected.  I'll write a bit more as things shake down in the next few days and I get to hear a few more people's reaction.  Check out IGN's posting about Diablo 3 if you are itching for more info.

When Game Developers Drink and Drive!

When game developers drink and drive...well, when they are driven, on a party bus, after a bunch of drinks and go-karting...this is what happens.

Snowblind rocked a midweek field trip to some K1 go-karting and our friendly artist, Brian Despain, decided to take full advantage of the party bus we hired.

Full of accidents, spin outs and even a broken kart or two...I wish there was more to post, but alas we were all too busy drinking and driving.  Congrats to JVD for being the overall winner and congrats to Bsost and Morgan and Ralph for the more hard core accidents.

Wii Remote Shenanigans

Don't ask, just watch.  I blame this on you, Nintendo.
