Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War vs. Star Wars Republic Commando In Dawn of War, you are racing and racing to get this nasty artifact and destroy it, thus preventing the forces of chaos from ruling the universe. Once you destroy it, it releases the very demon you were trying to destroy. The demon taunts you, then floats away. This is the ending if the game. In Republic Commando, you and 3 of your squadmates run around shooting shit, throwing grenades at shit, and doing various other team-oriented shit. In the final level, you have to split up in order to complete your mission. You do your thing, and then your superiors tell you it’s time to get off this planet ASAP. Over your radio you hear one of your buddies is in trouble and can’t be extracted. You and your 2 other buds take off in your evac plane talking about how you can’t leave your friend behind. This is the ending of the game. Which wins? They both suck ass. Please feel free to add your own bad ending experiences in the comments below.

I got my Xbox 360! Haha, that’s a funny joke. No, boys and girls, I have no Xbox 360 yet. There are a lot of people who can make this funny joke with me. Go ahead, try it out on your friends. Remember that Microsoft said there would be Xbox 360 units on retail shelves this past weekend? Did you see any? There are reports that a few Target stores were able to sell between 6 and 12 units. For people who randomly lined up at whatever random Targets got random supplies of random Xbox 360s. The Xbox 360 is not readily available to the general public. It is available to people who camp out and people who have preorders. I do not consider the Xbox 360 to be on the shelf until you can walk into Target and find one at any time. Is this a terrible definition? On to the rumors. The rumor that Best Buy is holding units until December 18th seems more accurate every day. I don’t think they’ll crack and sell units early. If December 18th is indeed their plan, it seems like a safe bet that it won’t change. You might want to make plans accordingly. A few reports have come in saying that GameStops should get a decent sized shipment on December 13th. I doubt this will be enough to get past their many preorders, but it should make a few people with reservations happy. Including me. Fingers crossed. 14 days of finger crossing has left my bones sore and angry. I have angry bones. Thank you, Microsoft. Maybe you can give me a coupon for some milk.

 With the arrival of December, it’s time for video game publishers to put their best foot forward. It is necessary to make a good showing to rake in those holiday sales. Tri Synergy, Inc. seems to be marching to the beat of their own drum. Which is all well and good. Take the road less traveled, says I. Unless you’re going to make Around the World in 80 Days into a video game. That would be a stupid thing to do. Some tales stand the test of time. Traveling around the world in two and a half months is not one of those tales. You see, we have jet airplanes now. Globetrotting has become much easier. But if you really want to traverse the world in the game 80 Days, here is what you have to look forward to.
Strange Germans? Elephant winnings? Maybe I’m all wrong about this game. Oh, no, wait. I’m right about this game. 80 Days is predicted to be the worst game of the week. You heard it here first. For those of you 40 days away on the other side of the world, I hope you didn’t already rush out and purchase 80 Days. Delivery by camel certainly should be faster. Someday there will be a way to get these reviews to you in less than 40 days. We can dream, can’t we? Filed under: A 47 Danger and PC and Rant Comments: None |

Near black holes, the gravity is strong enough to bend and slow time. The Xbox 360 is a black hole, slowing down time this entire week. Worst of all, it’s slowing down time at work. Sitting at my desk, I keep myself at the ready to answer my vibrating cell phone. Yes, it’s on vibrate at work because I’m not an asshole. You there with the Star Trek theme turned all the way up! There are many toilets that your phone could end up in. Mute it or lose it. Where was I? Oh yes, science. Waiting is so much harder when you’re someplace that’s not of your choosing. School, work, prison. All of these places would be horrible places to be waiting on an Xbox 360. Or parole. Each minute is turned into an hour as I wait for GameStop to dial my number. Xbox 360, I need your arms around me. I need to feel your touch. I need your understanding. I need your love so much. You tell me that you love me so. You tell me that you care. But when I need you baby, you’re never there. Filed under: A 47 Danger and Rant and Xbox 360 Comments: None |

A few GameStops in Texas filled some preorders yesterday. Just enough delivery news to give me hope, however false that hope may be. 10 units in Texas does not 17 units in Minnesota make. Why didn’t I order earlier? Why did everyone else order so early? As gamers, we are supposed to be lazy. What happened? Did I miss a memo? I’ve been keeping the lazy faith, quiet and proud. Some gamers just have to go and ruin our reputation. Sitting in the cold and rain to get an Xbox 360? Yeah, it does involve a lot of sitting. But there is a bunch of effort in there too. Perhaps once the Xbox 360 is readily available, a new renaissance in laziness will arise. At least, I hope it does. Doing stuff is a pain.
