[[[Nov 16 2009]]] Hey Cyber Kittens!!If you've been wondering where I've been for the past couple of months, I'll let you know what's been going on. I couldn't afford to pay for Internet, Xbox Live or my phone bill. That's pretty much it... I wish I had a more intersting story to explain my absense, like I was kidnapped by a giant spikey-shelled evil turtle who imprisoned me in his lava-filled castle, alas I just fell on financially rough times. I've basically been surviving on white brea...

Read something today, thought you people might like to know about it:Well, as I was playing the game some more tonight, I found out the Chapter Select feature can be exploited to get as much stuff as you want, with literally no effort (thanks to, in part, the save system). Let me paint a spoiler-free picture for you, if you'll let me. When you get to Chapter 3-1, you step off a boat and onto dry land. To your left, there are two vases, similar to the ones found in the Castle portion of ...

I know the majority of you have heard about the whole SouljaBoyTellEm fiasco. If not, basically SouljaBoy makes a YouTube video talking about how hardcore of a gamer he is and basically challenges anyone to play him.  Well the geniuses (and hella funny guys) behind ScrewAttack[dot]com accept his challenge with this video. (By the way, who's going to the ScrewAttack Game Convention with me in Dallas, Texas this year? It will be their first big con and I want to go and hug them!!)   Wel...

Many career-seekers are now throwing in extra tidbits in their job résumé such as attaining the Suicide Missionary achievement in Gears of War 2, their level&class in World of Warcraft and how many Pokemon they've captured. This might seem a little inconsequential, but associate professor and director of MIT's Education Arcade Program, Eric Klopfer says that a number of recent studies have examined what practical skills a person can pick up by playing electronic games. If you reall...

That means you, buddy I stumbled upon this news article earlier. http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/548247/ Here are some key points from this "study" that pissed me off: "It may be that young adults remove themselves from important social settings to play video games, or that people who already struggle with relationships are trying to find other ways to spend their time..." "The most striking part is that everything we found clustered around video game use is negative..." ...

Twice as nice Owning a pair of vaginas doubles your fun! She’s one in a million. Well, technically, I guess she’s sort of two in a million. That is, she has two vaginas, two uteruses and two cervixes. On the other hand, J’s uterus didelphys – the technical name for her matching lady bits – is, according to one of the many gynecologists who’ve poked around down there over the years, literally one in a million. In and around there, anyway. "It’s really, really rare," J pro...

A teaser page for a new SEGA title has caught the eye of one or two SEGA fans. Featuring a pulsating pixellated retro mushroom and proudly crediting Takao Miyoshi as the lead, it could be a new cute DS title or something more? I COULDN'T TELL YOU!! I have zero leads and no clues. Miyoshi-san has previously worked on Sonic titles dating as far back as Sonic CD, but has more recently been involved with SEGA's Phantasy Star Online series.Honestly, I have no idea what it could be, although, ...

See below for the full details. After applying the patch, some save games have been reported to omit items - including but not limited to keys for important locations, on random occasions. Furthermore, some have noticed that the game has an increased chance of freezing after loading an area. There also appears to be som...
