A Brilliant Ad Campaign for a Game that Needs No Advertising
by Guest Writer: Ryan Keeler

For a gamer, everyone knew the relevance of November 8, 2011. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 hit the shelves and millions lined up to pick up their copy. Even if you aren't big into video games, the Call of Duty name is recognized. That's how big this franchise is. Kudos to Sledgehammer Games for shelling out the cash and creating a commercial for a title that some would say would have sold just as many copies without it.
The Vet & The n00b started airing the [...]

California Pulls Portal Prank on New York Public Sculpture

In the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan Island sits Alamo, a giant cube sculpture by Tony Rosenthal which was created in 1967. The cube is not that far from from New York University, The New School, and few other New York landmarks. It's been known to show up in various videos as well be the victim of a few pranks, like being turned into a giant Rubiks Cube.
Just recently, reported on Kotaku, the latest stunt involving Alamo turned into the Weighted Companion Cube from Portal. Oversized pieces of fabric were laid over [...]

Dark Orbit is Selling Overpriced Virtual Starships

So a while ago, Eve decided to start selling vanity items well...people didn't take much liking to it. And the reason is because most people think that shelling out nearly seventy dollars for virtual goods isn't such a grand idea. However this idea wasn't one of its kind, according to an article on Kotaku. The Space based MMO game, Dark Orbit, decided to start selling a rare spacecraft for around 1.000 Euros (that's about $1,300). Unlike Eve Online's goods, this one found customers...around 2,000 of them.
Bigpoint Games, the maker of Dark Orbit, did note [...]

London's Philharmonic Orchestra To Release An Album of Assorted Video Game Music Tracks

I love music, a various mix of them. However, I probably love video game music the most. Without epic music in video games that were conducted by such geniuses like Nobou Uematsu (the composer for most of Square-Enix's music) and Hans Zimmer (the composer famous for Modern Warfare 2's soundtrack), games wouldn't be the same. This past summer, I missed the opportunity of hearing Nobou Uematsu conduct with the BaltimoreSymphony Orchestra on their Baltimore stop of the Distant Worlds tour. I regret not gracing my ears with such [...]

Japanese Car SiteCliccar Roams the Streets of Tokyo in a Real Life Game of Mario Kart

Two writers from the Japanese car siteCliccar decided to get out of their usual business attire for a while and have some fun. How did they do that? Well how about getting two street legalX-Karts and roam the streets of Tokyo as both Mario and Luigi in a real life game of Super Mario Kart (minus the banana throwing and shell tossing).
These karts are priced at ¥ 379,800 (US$4,900) and are designed as "mini sports cars". The "mini sports cars" are weighing in at only [...]

Activision Promotes Modern Warfare 3 with High Quality Earbuds from Munitio

While it's great for design the specs are something [...]

Random Thoughts about Avoiding a Dirty, Greasy, and/or Messy Controller.

So on Speak Up article on Kotaku about dirty controllers it came to my attention that over the years of gaming since I was a young kid that I've been always struggling with the problem about messed up and greasy controllers. We, as a gaming society, tend to take our consoles' controllers for granted and do abusive things to them. We get dust on them, weunknowinglycough on them when we had a sick day from work/school, we'd toss them out our window and get them stuck in a tree because someone [...]

Signs of Microsoft Moving Away from Japanese Market are Showing.

After years and years of promoting the Xbox 360 in Japan, Microsoft still only sells around 2,000 a week in the land of the rising sun. Last week, sales statistics showed that the XBox 360 was being outsold by Playstation 2 consoles. Mind boggling isn't it?
And with the Tokyo Game Show coming up later this year, Microsoft of Japan is showing that they are making a slow withdraw from the region. Proof is shown as its booth at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show is smaller than Capcom's, Namco Bandai's, and Sega's [...]
