Bad Gamestop, down boy
I'm generally not a fan of yahoo news, but this morning I was checking my email and I always scroll through their newest articles because they're pretty good at getting stuff up quick, especially breaking news. Now it's not that I dislike Yahoo, it's just that they have a lot of writers that don't fact check which is a wonderful practice that I would love to pick up some day(not really). Anyway, their gaming blog put up this article about the new game Deus Ex:Human Revolution and how GameSpot is a bunch of *expletives*.

Portal 2 Live Action
I was browsing the various you-tubes and came across this new film short based on Valve's popular game Portal 2 that was released a few months ago. Enjoy, I know I did.

DOTA2 Champion crowned
I really wish i could've been as awesome as these kids to be 200k richer at their age, I wonder if they try and tell the person with the worst K:D ratio that he can't have as much because he's not as 1337 as the rest of them. Anyway, they beat out the Chinese team EHOME to bring home the grand prize of 1million dollars US. which in the Ukrane is like 8million in monopoly money...er Hryvnia is what they call it, I just enjoy monopoly(i'm always the hat because we lost the car).
CS:GO
Thats Counter Strike:Global Offensive for my non-in the know internet speak friends lmao roflmao and u r a 1337 nub. And now that I have that out of my system enjoy this trailer that shows absolutely nothing, other than valve still praising its failtastic game know as Condition Zero.

Who needs D3 anyway?
This game is called path of exile and it's complete and udder awesome from what i can gather from a few sub 5 minute videos on YouTube. If you ever played Diablo 2, this game is going to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's in closed beta right now, but if you head over to their website at Pathofexile.com you can register for their site and get a shot at getting into the closed beta yourself.

Again with the BF3 News...Lack of server selection
http://bf3blog.com/2011/08/battlefield-3-pc-version-wont-have-in-game-server-browser/
Would it have really been that hard to do what every other half way decent company is completely capable of doing and giving us an ingame server selection system? I mean hell, DICE has done it before, we KNOW they're capable of it even if it does utilize terrible systems like punkbuster.
Lets force players to waste countless minutes for the rest of their time playing battlefield. Really with this one, I can't imagine a legitimate reason why you would veer away from the norm. I'm pretty sure no one enjoys splash screens, especially when you have to watch them 30 times in the span of a few hours because a new friend logs on and the server is full, or you don't like this map, or you're getting dominated by the stacked opposing team, or...any number of legitimate or unintelligible reasons for wanting to switch servers.
I'm gonna go ahead and say its so we have to be spammed with adds on origin by re-opening their homepage every time we want to switch servers, i mean if you're going to do that why not just do some in game advertising on billboards and buildings. I'd much rather take my anger out on an ingame object like a billboard with a rocket launcher than my monitor with my fist. And alas therein lies the reason, because advertisers don't want people shooting at their advertisements where everyone can see, just like how racing games used to not allow damage on cars with actual make and model names because some manufacturer was too much of a pansy to let us enjoy their vehicle to its fullest extent. That's why innovators like Rockstar with their clone cars that we could absolutely destroy are my heroes. Keep doing what you're doing guys, oh and that definitely got off track, from FPS to RPG and racing games...I'm losing it.
Come on DICE, give us an in game menu, even if you do have to advertise for SWTOR or the next need for speed on one of the sidebars of it.
