I kept making excuses about the lag and how glitchy it was. Well, I was being honest, sure I suck, but I sucked more than usual this time. There was all types of glitches, the normal kind, a hand coming through a door before the rest of the body, guns going through things, nothing too strange. Not too soon after a locusts body wouldn't stop shaking my[Dom] leg's disappared and he literally just bounced around. Then there would cut scense with no people in them. Then walls would disapear. Then durring Act 3 I got stuck in a crack in the floor. I couldn't move and I couldn't die, I had to reload at last check point, TWICE, because I wanted to see if I could get stuck again, and I could. Then this happened, I don't know what triggered it but it's pretty weird. One part looks like there are giant daphydils http://pwned.com/showblog/2555/nikole/Gears-of-War--The-glitchiest-game-I-ve-ever-played/ http://pwned.com/showblog/1558/nikole/Gamer-Guys-are-SUCH-Attention-Whores---/ ...or alteast I want you to be.....

Gotham's fate rests on us. It's in our handsto take Gotham back. A new site has popped up in full support of Harvey Dent. Most people know Harvey Dent as Two-Face from the Batman series. In the upcoming movie, The Dark Knight Harvey will be helping James Gordon and Batman in defeating the Joker. As part of the viral advertisement for this movie this site has been launched. It's a fully functioning mock web page. The site includes ways you can help the Harvey campaign. I've heard that there is even a recorded message that some people get. A friend of mine picked up her phone and there was a recorded message asking her to vote for Harvey. There's even a petition form that you can print out and have people sign to get Harvey as Gotham's next DA. You can submit your own pictures http://pwned.com/showblog/1488/nikole/Harvey-Dent-needs-Your-help-to-take-back-Gotham-/ http://pwned.com/showblog/1437/nikole/Top-5-Reasons-Guys-Can-Make-Fun-of-Girl-Gamers/ [I did not write the list, dar] nbsp; With the sudden flood of "Gamer Grrl" blogs/rants/videos these past few weeks many guys have decided to come back with their own take on the situation. One such guy named Billy decided to make a list defending a guys right to make fun of girls who game. I doubt this is to be taken too seriously, but I'm not sure. Up until a few weeks ago I didn't think anyone really cared who they played with online. If I was ever being bothered by someone I stopped playing with them, I never thought of it as some epidemic of stupidity. But to some people there certainly seems to be a problem, and both sides, male and female seem to be affected. Thoughts?Most gamers on XboxLive are male. I won't go into age, cause it ranges from 6 year olds to 40 year old men, which is fine. However, there exists one certain gamer that always seems to draw attention to a chatroom f http://pwned.com/showblog/1437/nikole/Top-5-Reasons-Guys-Can-Make-Fun-of-Girl-Gamers/ http://pwned.com/showblog/1397/nikole/Interview-with-Eternity-s-Child-creator-Luc-Bernard/ I recently had a chance to sit down with Eternity's Child creator Luc Bernard. And by sit down with, I mean we both sat at our respective computer's and sent each other emails, but we were sitting none the less and that's what counts. His games are some of the most unique projects I have ever seen, both in look and storyline. For those who don't consider video games to be an art form, simply looking at the artwork for these games will change your mind. Nikole: So to start out, why don't you introduce yourself:Luc: Oh my god that is always the most annoying part haha, I just like to say hey I'm Luc, I do erm interactive fairytales lolNikole: How long have you been making games?Luc: God I would say maybe since 16 but most of them ended up vaporwareNikole: Growing up, were you a gamer? Did you always know this was what you wanted to do?Luc: Growing up I used to write stories in books and http://pwned.com/showblog/1397/nikole/Interview-with-Eternity-s-Child-creator-Luc-Bernard/ http://pwned.com/showblog/1306/nikole/Gentlemen--Start-your-engines-/ Yes boys, that's right!

Click the pic you nub! http://pwned.com/showblog/1306/nikole/Gentlemen--Start-your-engines-/ http://pwned.com/showblog/1274/nikole/Yay--Another-Gamer-Girl-Bitching-----/ And the bitching continues...I'm going to do my best to leave me opinions out of this and make it as unbiased as I can, because I mostly want your opinions on the matter.I was reading an article on bingegamer.net. The author Allison Boyer was discussing her experiences while playing XBL. She complains that she doesn't like using her mic due to the fact that she has a woman's voice, as most women do. The problem with having a woman's voice you ask? You get comments like these:"Ooo, your voice sounds sexy, Ooo, I'll protect you baby, Ooo, you up for some fun? She says the while playing she will either get killed non-stop by guys thinking its funny to kill a girl or be protected by players who think its chivalrous to keep her from harms way. The bottom line being: "I'm a girl. I like to play video games. STOP RUINING IT FOR ME."There, a simple painless little article stating how this girl http://pwned.com/showblog/1274/nikole/Yay--Another-Gamer-Girl-Bitching-----/
