The Left4Dead Extra Gas Can Mystery

What’s interesting about this screenshot is not that Nick is wildly flailing away in an attempt to dislodge a Jockey from Ellis’ noggin’ but that we actually put in more tanks of gas than the map contained. Anyone figure out how we did it?

Rock Band 3, Now with Keyboard!

Bruthaman sent me this link, gotta love where they’re taking Rock Band 3. Keyboard? YES! Only problem is that pretty soon a large screen TV is mandatory to counter-balance the size the those moving notes.

Time to start saving your pennies!

Video: Pacman fever strong, 30 years later

30 years?!? I remember it like it was yesterday! (That’s what all old people say, I must be “old.”)

Vacation was great! Funny bit from Gaffigan’s Twitter stream. #hotpockets

‘Grown Ups’ Movie Looks Ridiculous, Not in a Good Way

Might be worth a few laughs but if this is the best trailer they can make, I’m not optimistic.

‘George’ the Serious Seinfeld Movie

Bravo, TV movie clip editor man, bravo!

Daily Show Blasts Racist, Stewart Still a Douchebag

Funny, funny stuff coming from the sarcastic fellows at the Daily Show. The guy is so clueless that he truly can’t see that what he’s advocating is racism. Ha!

Rock Band 3 Blends Real Musicianship with Gameplay

See that guitar? It’s also a controller. Uh huh. Yeah, that’s what I thought too.

It’s crazy to think but Rock Band 3 is going to be crazy different.

Harmonix is developing Rock Band 3 for worldwide release this holiday season! The game, which will be published by MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts, will innovate and revolutionize the music genre once again, just as Harmonix did with the original Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and The Beatles: Rock Band. Stay tuned for more details!

The potential is there for some much goodness, I can hardly stand it.

DJ Steve Porter Gets NBA Gig?

Not sure if this is djsteveporter but his stuff is so great. Love it!

Sherlock Holmes a Jolly Good Time

I don’t see many movies, which is a good thing and a bad thing. I like movies so I wish I could see more, but at least the ones I do see have the most potential to be worthwhile.

I thought Sherlock Holmes was terrific. And because of that, I’ve now lost faith in the Net collective MetaCritic as a reliable measure. Maybe it’s not the site’s fault as much as the self-important slew of “critics” who blew it up. From their comments, it seems they have more against Guy Ritchie than the movie itself, but whatever, I don’t care. I thought it was great fun, with a just a few complaints. 9 out of 10

Triumph Rules Low Brow Comedy

While I further contemplate the meaning of the universe (and this blog’s role in it) take a few minutes to laugh. I heard somewhere that laughter is good for you.

Gamespot Best of 2009

Gotta pull for my man Ellis from L4D2. Cracks me up when he tells Coach, “I love you.”

Shankapotamus!

I know, I know… it’s old, right, I get you but it’s just too funny. With FG flying left and right you can’t forget the Shankapotamus blast!

Turns Out Video Games Not Recession Proof

The headline makes you think it’s entirely the fault of the big black box called the economy but shouldn’t the dev companies shoulder some of the blame for their almost universal “me too” design path?

Where are the innovators?
