Brian Brushwood asked me to come back on Scam School. Last time he came into town he taught me to eat fire. This time he taught me to eat glass. I am clearly easily talked into doing stupid things.
This was a creepy nightmare. No lie. I was spooked the entire time- you can very clearly see it on my face. Those are actual lightbulbs and we’re actually eating pieces of them. I felt like I had tiny cuts in my throat for the next two days.
I start actually eating the glass at the 10:20 mark, after the instruction portion.
Nothing shall remain trapped in a box as long as I’m around. I will set you free, Pro Controller. I will set you free.
There was a Wii U in a box. I took it right the fuck out of that box. Believe.
Aliens are invading, and only Commanders Max Scoville and Anthony Carboni can stop them. But first, they must recruit an elite Office Strike Team from the soldiers in their office. Will their crazy plan succeed? Or will they get fired before they can finish the assault?
I love my Astro A40s. Comfortable, good sound quality, solid wireless option- they do everything I need and more, and they look really good doing it.
The A50s improve on the A40s in a few ways, but the biggest/most important is the integration of the wireless Mixamp into the the headphones themselves. The Mixamp was a separate unit on the A40s that required clipping to a belt and technically meant the “wireless” option on those headphones meant “only one short wire.”
I’m also going to miss tags- the magnetic, removable plates over the ears of the A40s. I got some custom ones printed with the Rev3Games logo on them and I love them. I just love the ability to customize my electronics at all.
Borderlands 2 is here! Which character are you playing as? We pick our favorites and ask some of our friends around the internet (Chloe Dykstra, Nerdist/Lisa Foiles, TheGameStation/Mikey Neumann, Gearbox) which class they’re choosing.
Splinter Cell BLACKLIST is here in full force at PAX Prime 2012, and I got a chance to talk to creative director Maxime Beland about a ton of new details. Choose how you want to play – stealth, action, or somewhere in between – and upgrade your Sam (or multiplayer character) to suit your playlist.
Hitman Absolution just unveiled a brand new mode called CONTRACTS, which allows you to challenge your friends to match your hits. Ii got to go hands-on with the new mode and talk to the game’s director about how the “international assassin’s game of HORSE” works.
Borderlands 2 is kicking ass at PAX Prime, and I got a chance to talk with the game’s concept designer about EVERYTHING NEW IN THE GAME. Well maybe not everything new; but lots of new weapons, new environments, and the loveable conservationist/big game hunter “Sir Hammerlock.”
I got my first hands-on with Far Cry 3′s open world, and holy crap – it’s awesome. I got a chance to chat with the lead level designer about the map, hostile outposts, different gameplay mechanics, and using bears to fight bad guys. Seriously.
