End of the Week

Well gentle readers, I'll be out of town tomorrow and we all know that weekends are updateless so I will see you on monday and I leave you with this:




Mass Sci-Fi Special

1up is reporting that the Sci-Fi channel will air a Mass Effect special on November 20th at 11pm/est. Will they try to pass this special off as a documentary ala their Blair Witch special or as a deep look inside the mind of an idiot ala their M Night Shamaylan special? Only time will tell, but as 1up pointed out, the game comes out that same day, nobody is going to care about this special.

Assassin's Creed Party!


Due to exclusivity deals and me not wanting to get sued off my ass I can't post the pics from the party, but I'll direct you to Kotaku which has them. Check out Kristen Bell playing some Assassin's Creed!

Southland Tales: Trailer

I really don't know what to think about this movie. I've heard really bad reviews but I think the premise is fascinating, especially to a internet living person like myself.



28 Confessions Of A GameStop Shift Supervisor

Consumerist has a very interesting article about Gamestop store policies that may suprise you, or piss you off. I usually split my game shopping between Gamestop and Best Buy but prefer Best Buy as I get points on my rewards card for buying stuff. Still though I know people who have worked at Gamestop and it can get pretty ugly in there!

Game of the year? We shall see!


Well people wanted Sony to be more like Microsoft...


IGN is reporting that Sony is denying that 40% of the 40gig PS3s are pulling a 360 and failing. Rumor or not I'm glad I picked up a 60gig when I did, my 360 fails constantly and I'm not in the mood to watch another console follow suit.

Sweet Toys Packed with Ass-Tasting Drink

Ahh if only I could live in Japan. i could drink FFVII Potion and get nifty figures with it. Which would sit on my toilet so they can watch me borch that potion right back into the sewer system it came from!

Why You Should Tune Into Grey's Anatomy Tonight


Brooke Smith's Dr. Hahn AKA the New Burke. Finally someone who is actually calling the staff at Seattle Grace on all their insane shit. I love the show and with the addition of Smith I'm forgetting all about how skeezed out I get when George and Izzie act like lovers.

Wouldn't it have been awesome if she actually was replacing Burke and they never made a big deal about a white woman playing the character?

Get Caught in a Webb

Expanded Cable slash Internet Star and my personal hero Morgan Webb has a daily podcast that reports on various tech stories. Apparently it's been around for a couple months and while it doesn't bring anything new to the tech-news-podcast scene it sure does have Morgan Webb who manages to be smart, witty, and hot as hell.

It's a Scooner!


Looks like aimless teenagers are going to have to go right to Denny's after school as MSNB is reporting that a Cleavland mall has banned any person under the age of 18 from being in the mall after 2:30 PM without an adult with them.

So wait, if I was 16 I could go to the mall at like noon and be fine? So much for school!

No WiiVD

ign is reporting that there will be no DVD capable Wii in the near future and call me apathetic. How many people really bought their Wii specifically for a feature it doesn't have. Plus how many people out there have at least 1 DVD player if not more (6 DVD Players and a Blu-Ray player for me)? Let the Wii just be a gaming console, give the DVD story a rest already.

Look like a total geek, but a total geek with money


Kotaku is reporting that TorrelTorrel the clothing manufacturer that is making Nintendo licensed shirts, hoodies, and jackets has a site up and running. I hopped on over to the site and learned that the clothing was frackin' expensive! $50 for a T-Shirt, they do know you can just buy Mario Galaxy for the same price and actually be entertained. Still though, I kinda want a shirt or two...
