I’d like to thank The Daily Mail for being complete morons. I wouldn’t have hurt my side from laughing so hard this morning if it wasn’t for them. Seriously, how did they not even try to figure out where this image originated from? Awesome journalistic integrity there, Daily Mail.
Here’s the recap for all of Friday’s […]

This week’s Art Attack artist is sergevirusx. Now before checking out sergevirusx work on deviantART, make sure no one else is in the room. A lot of sergevirusx’s stuff is very NSFW material.
sergevirusx’s works is all over the place. There are some fantastic retro rival pieces such as the River City Ransom and Splatterhouse pictures. […]

New Zealand judge justifies a criminal’s ‘GTA is to blame’ excuse
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
If there is one thing that disgusts me above all else about people who blame the actions of criminals on videogames, it’s the fact that they provide a twisted sense of justification for the scumbags who rob, rape and murder. Making them feel like it’s not their fault, that they can just blame a videogame, […]

I apologize for the lack of pictures but I […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Capcom has passed along over 100 new screenshots from Street Fighter IV. For the first batch, we have some great shots of Rufus engulfing Ken Masters with his fatness. Just like the last photo dump, most of these photos are sequential as it shows some of Rufus’ attacks from start to finish.

After the psychological mindf*ck metagame that was Execution, this week’s Indie Nation goes back to basics. There are no anti-war messages, questions of murder and consequence, or really any theme at all in Love.
Dtoider Blake turned me onto this charming (yet blisteringly difficult) platformer, which was just released a week or so ago. As a […]
