Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the biggest launch in the history of video games. I've covered this already so we should probably get that out of the way from the start. If sales were the ultimate indication of quality we wouldn't need reviews, opinions or any of that jazz. Thankfully they aren't and we have positive-proof in that regard taking in consideration things like the Transformers movies and the Sims games. Therefore today you get to read my impressions of Modern Warfare 2 and fla… More
Keeley Day is here and cause for celebration. I don't envy the Brits much but they got really lucky with that bundle of goodness. This will be a wrap on the Epic Drop for the week so bring your A-game to today's discussion and hopefully some good links as well. +1 for zombies and CG-loving Cameron. Arrested for not leaving a tip? These college students in Philadelphia were handcuffed and arrested for not leaving a $16.35 tip. The main issue of contention seems to be the mandatory "18% gratu… More
Another bonus Megan Fox day? Yes, we are that lucky. Megan Fox's crotch is contained inside, spread eagle. If that isn't reason enough for you guys, and some girls, to stop in I don't know what is. +1 for multiple crotch shots?
Leading off tonight with the story of a 10-year-old girl getting tased. You guys say I am so anti-taser, which I am at times, but I challenge you to read this story and find any justification for this happening. Her mom should face punishment for "authorizing it" and… More
Yesterday, Blizzard formally announced their plans for Icecrown Citadel progression, and a lot of what they did in ToGC is carrying over. To recap quickly, they're releasing Icecrown one wing at a time, with "several weeks"* in between wings being ungated. On top of that, hard mode Icecrown won't be doable until Arthas dies on normal mode, meaning hard mode Icecrown won't be released until all 4 wings are. On top of *that,* attempt counters are back for the final bos… More
More Epic Drop goodness coming your way today including at an awesome teaser for the Kick-Ass comic-to-movie that I have been talking up for months. Enjoy the Drop and be sure to pass along any stories you have found for our daily discussion. +1 for Leighton Meester!
Our national debt hit 12 trillion dollars yesterday. In other words, one third the amount of debt we saw in the past 8 years during the Bush era. But only in one year this time around. A pretty impressive feat if I have to say s… More
Sorry for the late Drop. I got a bit busy playing Left 4 Dead 2 and figured I would just go to bed and post it when I got up. Cheryl Tweedy stops in to show why she is still one of my top five hottest women. +1
Brock Lesnar is improving according to his trainer contrary to Dana White's doomsday chatter yesterday about him never fighting again which I suppose is entirely possible. Not only did Brock have mono but he also had a -small;">bacterial infection in his intestinal tract which doesn't sound fun… More
One of the biggest complaints flooding the WoW fora is the massive, unhealable burst of WotLK arena. What is a casual paladin to do when 950 resilience means you die in the duration of a bladestorm or death coil? Fortunately, the casual hokage has the answer : PROT BEATZ. Let me explain the fine art of tanking in PVP using talents meant for the "DONT' STAND IN THE @#$!! FIRE" crowd of PVE dragonslayer heroes. Why all caps? BECAUSE YOU NEED TO STAND TALL AND TAKE THAT WOTLK DAMAGE LIKE A MAN… More
There was some big news last week that I skipped over while being gone but this is one tidbit I won't fail to mention even if many of you saw it already. Final Fantasy XIII finally has a release date in North America, Europe and even Australia all on the same day. Even the Aussies aren't being denied this time, call me impressed.
You can watch the snazzy announcement trailer above or you can simply skip over all of the new footage, the interviews and production to find out that Final Fantasy XI… More
Welcome to the return of regularly scheduled GR Blog programming. I am officially off of vacation, for a few months at least, and that means it is time to get back to the games, news, movies, politics and funny crap that fill the internet. I figure a good way to start is a Fox Monday, +1 for Megan.
****mydadsays is officially going to Hollywood. The semi-famous Twitter account with one-liners from Justin Halpern's dad (though I assume it is just Justin writing the quotes) has been optioned for… More
Did you guys really think I was going to miss a Keeley day? After five days in Sin City, serious liver damage and debauchery I am back to the reality that is Michigan. Reconnected with some old friends and met some new ones in what was a hell of a good time. This won't be a typical drop as I am still technically on vacation, just back home. Keeley is inside so that alone is motivation to stop in. +1 drinking, strippers and Vegas locals
Btw, wtf happened to my Bears last night. Cutler looks … More
