The Halo: Reach X-Mas LAN (12/30 – 12/31)
01 month ago
Hello Everyone, it’s been too long since we have thrown a Halo LAN! I miss the long nights of grinding it out before MLG events, so we have decided to throw a Halo: Reach LAN. The LAN is completely FREE and will be taking place at the NOTORIOUS original Nerd Palace, where it ALL began. This event starts on December 30th and ends on December 31st. #MLG
Gears of War 3 Map Diagrams

Hotel - Gears of War 3 Map Diagram
Since the release of Gears of War 3, we have been playing the “Team Deathmatch” and “Execution” game types on Xbox Live nonstop. For those times when you just don’t have access to an Xbox 360, I thought it would be great to have the map diagrams handy (you never know when a new tactic will pop into your head). I was unable to find the complete set of diagrams when searching the internet so I decided to make my own. They’re not the highest quality but they should be sufficient for most uses. You can download full the map diagram pack here. Enjoy!

My Thoughts: Catherine

So Patch and I purchased Catherine for Xbox 360 yesterday and spent a good 5 hours playing(on hard mode). After 5 hours we only reached level 2 and were mentally exhausted. However, I am not saying this is a negative as it called for something that games in the past few years have been lacking, which would be skill , brainpower and teamwork with friends. Its the type of game you think about how to beat when your sitting down at the dinner table and just want to go back and beat it. (more…)
Watch A Documentary About Shmups
0
Shmup is short for “shoot ‘em up,” a game genre that started in the arcades with Space Invaders and still has a cult following with modern titles like Death Smiles 2 X for Xbox 360 (see the picture to the left if you’re still unsure what a shmup is). If you’re even slightly interested in this genre, I highly recommend watching “Japon: Histoire Du Shooting Game” (a shmup documentary). It’ll introduce you to some great games that are sure to inspire you to start playing shmups seriously.

Yes it’s not a FPS nor is it a true fighter but those of us who are children of the 80s are looking forward to this interesting XBLA offering in October. Voltron: Defender of the Universe.
Google’s “Fast Flip” experiment
0
Google fast flip is an experimental idea for viewing popular news articles. A lot of these websites exist such as Digg or Reddit, however I like the new UI ideas Google has. There are 4 different ways to sort your news articles. They use Popular , Sections , Topics and Sources. Once you click on one of the articles you choose you can scroll fast between them using the left and right arrows on the keyboard. Try it out, I find it to be great to catch up on news.

Here is another reason I hate Apple

Loss of manufacturer would be a huge blow to Android
Apple, Inc. (AAPL) has struggled to compete with Android. Its newest phone is over a year old, and looks badly dated compared to the latest slick Android hardware. And it’s being outsold over two-to-one by Android globally, according to market researchers. But Apple has a secret weapon — litigation.

This video is of a student project to demonstrate some of the best touch interfacing I have ever seen. What makes it even cooler is that it’s a game. A Star Wars game.
