Imagine a world, not unlike our own, controlled by the few, and you, you're a runner. You traverse the city via rooftop and liberate the masses by transporting information off the grid. This game puts you in control of a runner named Faith. In a first-person view you will wall run, leap from buildings, zipline over streets, and fight your way through the city. Peep this trailer for more.

Obama & Palin rock the virtual battlefield!
In this video you'll see Barack Obama and Sarah Palin as they kick ass through Mercenaries 2. This is no joke. They are being added to the game via download. Granted, I don't play the game, and never will, but this is still fun.
Pumpkin. Pumpkin. Who's got the pumpkin?
Happy Halloweenie interwebernet! Today is Foto Phriday, and have I got some photos for you... pumpkin photos. Let's carve this bitch!
Ok, so first up are photos of the pumpkins that Molly and I carved. First in light, then in dark. As you can see Molly did Jack Skellington and I did the infamous text smiley. w00t w00t
Next up is a house that's not too far from my place. This guy has a ton of pumpkins, and at first I thought they were all hand carved, and placed outside, but they aren't. They're all plastic, but they still look cool.
And to end our pumpkin madness I have a video I'd like to show everyone. Now, every year about this time I have talked about this video online in one way or another so it would just seem silly to break tradition now. This is the best short film I've ever seen about a pumpkin. It is called "Life and Death of a Pumpkin." Enjoy. Freedom!

Wedding drunks, sauerkraut, morality, and music
A few things to mention.
1) I'm heading to Matthew McConkey & Andrea Peck's wedding reception tonight. I'm going to be dancing drunk, and then pass out in a hotel room. w00t w00t
2) Tomorrow I'm heading to a German banquet in Pawnee with the family
3) In the meantime I'll be in Albion
4) December 17th @ The Pageant. The Faint. Let me say that again... THE FAINT! Tickets $17 (22.50 after fees) You can expect me to be there. Anyone want to ride along?
5) "Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams" trailer has been released. See it here.

Lost in Albion
It's late, and I'm feeling better. I would have posted earlier, but I've been wrapped up in Fable 2. I've been sick for the last couple of days so I haven't been able to play. I actually put those days aside to play, but now that I'm better I dedicated all of today to take in as much as I can. Boy have I been doing just that. Just call me couch fatass. I've been in my jammies ALL DAY playing Fable 2.
*pops back*
Ok, so it's not the greatest RPG ever made like Peter Molyneux claimed (like he always claims). It's pretty good though. Not great. Let me emphasis that, not great, but a solid good. If you're looking for a big pretty action-adventure RPG fantasy world to run around in then this is your game. I have a few problems with it, which I will state now. However, everything else about this game is gravy.
1) Multi-player. It's co-op, that's cool. However, one can't bring their custom characters into a game. Only two people per game.; one is the host, and the other joins. The joiner has to select from a stock of henchmen models, and can only bring in their abilities from their character. Lame. Why can't I bring in my custom character? Why? Oh, and during co-op the camera is fixed for both parties, and there is an invisible tether between the two. I could understand all of these hangups if I were playing split screen because the CPU couldn't process two worlds at the same time, but we have two machines here. What gives?
Ok, so that's about my biggest complaint. Sorry, I thought there were more. The co-op does allow for you to turn on orbs so that you can see orb representations of your friends or anyone playing fly around the world in real-time. When you get near an orb you can actually talk to them via headset. Which is cool. You don't see their model, but you see an orb. Eh. You can trade with orbs, or view their stats, or even hop into their game. All pretty cool, but could have been better. I'm seriously hoping that there will be a co-op patch down the line that will allow for everything I mentioned earlier.
Ok, back to more Fable 2! Peace out, paupers!

Lips on your Xbox
So, ever since I got my Xbox 360 I only keep my original Xbox around for Karaoke Party Revolution. Well, this November I may not have a reason to keep it around now that Lips is coming out for the Xbox 360. Peep this video.
The game, developed by iNiS (Elite Beat Agents, Gitaroo-Man) will allow you to upload your own music via Zune and I'm assuming Windows Media Player as well. The game will come with two shiny wireless mics, and if anyone is singing solo anyone can pick up the second mic, shake it, and instantly in mid-song two player duet mode is activated. Also, the game has a very lenient grading scale. So, anyone that wants to sing, no matter how good or bad they consider themselves will feel prompted to do so without a harsh rating system breathing down their throat. Honestly, I'm a little more than excited about this. *glee*
