Okay, after that other World of Warcraft video, I started looking around for other funny ones… This one is kind of funny… still no idea what they are talking about most of the time, but Leeroy runs in by himself and gets everyone killed.

I have no clue what half the stuff this guy is talking about, but this video is funny. I guess it was a Warcaft raid leader (leading and coordinating 40 people, so they are all listening to him) on some raid of a dragon’s den…

All I know is if I was in his raid […]

It looks like Blizzard is one of the growing number of companies that have realized that peer-to-peer file sharing technology has some great uses. I just noticed they distribute World of Warcraft (full DVD and updates) via P2P technology. Cheaper because it uses the end user’s upstream bandwidth.

Neat!

When you are bored in the airport on a layover on the way to Chicago, you can win $2,000 on a $5 bet.
I played a total of $20 (I played 6 total hands for $5 each, winning my first hand also) on video poker with my last $5 and hit 4 2s […]

One of the pictures that almost got us all thrown in jail. We took pictures of our poker table, which is forbidden because it’s a “Nevada gaming device”.

Uhm, how do you like your hand there Shoe’?
(picture ripped off from Shandy King, so if you want to arrest anyone, it’s him. […]

You can watch this guy play his new video game console for a week straight… Kind of funny actually, as you can hear him talking to his friends about how many people are watching him and them being surprised it hasn’t crashed yet.

Played some poker tonight (this morning?), and we had George, a closet anti-semitic poker dealer for his 30 minute shift. George really liked us (especially Dax)… or not… it was hard to read his true feelings about us.
Hopefully someone will post the illegal pictures we took of a “Nevada gaming device”.
UpdateI […]

I got a royal flush tonight while screwing around on a video poker machine (waiting for people to get to Binions for our real game).
Not quite as interesting as the other ones I got because it was against a computer (and 2s were wild). But whatever, paid a little money anyway…

Dude, I played poker tonight and I got another royal flush (and then a few hands later quad queens). Thankfully this time I had some money to bet when I hit them.

I’ve been practicing checkers for a world event coming soon, and I pretty much dominated this guy I just played. I’m white, I’m going from bottom to top and it’s my move. As you can see, he only got a single one of my pieces.
I might actually be the most glorious checkers player […]

Thank God for this game because it is an utter time waster and I’ve had to lay around doing nothing the last few days. I don’t really like RPG games, but I got it for my Xbox 360 because it was the highest rated game for it, and there really wasn’t any games I […]

Played a little Texas Holdem poker last night, and I got a pretty decent hand… A royal flush.
But here’s the crazy part… a few hands later I got a straight flush (king high). Both hands were diamonds too.
More importantly, I have witnesses! hah
Too bad I lost overall for the night… […]

A lighting/model test for a future Tony Hawk game is looking pretty good. I assume this is for a next generation console (Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3).

Does anyone besides me think that the new generation of game consoles have *really* good graphics???

This is a actual game play screenshot from Gears Of War (for Xbox 360) which comes out later this year. Screenshots like that almost make me want to go buy an Xbox 360 and a new TV […]

Rumor has it that pricing has been finalized on Sony’s forthcoming Playstation 3 at $499. $100 more than an Xbox 360, but you should get a LOT more features (like the ability to play high definition DVDs).
Gossip doing the rounds amongst Californian developers seeks to peg the price of Sony’s looming PlayStation 3, with […]

Japanese are serious about gaming. You can now buy a gaming pillow for ~$38.
But you know what? As soon as you actually need this thing, maybe you should reevaluate how much time you spend playing video games in my opinion.

All I have to say is “wow”. Check out this video of Hideo Kojima showing off the PS3 developer kit. The amazing thing is it’s all rendered in realtime (no pre-rendered scenes). The graphics are crazy good. Makes the Xbox 360 look like an Atari 2600.

I’m not a huge gamer, but once in awhile it’s fun to play a game… For example I played Splinter Cell 3, and it was damn good game.

Anyway, someone posted some screenshots from Splinter Cell 4 that look pretty amazing…

This might be a game that would make me actually want to buy […]

Here’s something for all the super dorks… The iPod Linux guys have started to port Doom to the iPod (they also were the ones to get video working on an iPod).

A South Korean man (identified as “Lee”) died of heart failure stemming from exhaustion after playing an online video game for 50 hours.
Lee thought it would be a good idea to quit his job so he could have more time to play video games, which by the way, doesn’t seem like a solid plan for […]

This is a pretty neat Flash game. I wasted about an hour solving all of it. The object is to escape from the room.

For all the super dorks out there that have a modded Xbox, now you can get a front panel replacement, which gives it a cleaner look. It gives you your mod chip bios control buttons built-in, an IR port, 2 USB ports and an LCD panel.
If you want to check it out, then click […]

Had a little longer to play with the Xbox Media Center from my previous post, and this thing just gets cooler and cooler the more I dive into it.

It has Mplayer built into it so it basically can play any audio/video format without problems including streaming content
Audio visualization (like WinAMP)
Organizes music, pictures, video, programs, etc.
Shows […]

I have an Xbox that I bought 3 years ago (pretty much when they first came out), that I use about once every 6 months. While at a friends house, he showed me his Xbox that was modded so he could copy games and stuff.
While I wasn’t really interested in the copying of games, […]

The October 2004 issue of Playboy is going to be featuring video game characters. Some are going to be “posing seductively”, some topless and others with full nudity. Some of the characters being featured are BloodRayne, Mileena, Nina, Tala, etc.
Seems kind of strange (but funny) to me. Maybe I would be more […]
