I'll never watch Lost the same way again.

Sorry to add word verification to my comments, but I was really tired of getting 2-3 comments a day of things like "LOVE THE SITE try out our VIAGRA!" or the even less coy "SEXSEXSEXMYWEBCAMSITE!" Now maybe you won't have to see the "comment deleted by blog owner" (which incidentally I found out would disappear anyways if I chose the "Delete Forever" option which I hadn't been). Yay for spam-free comments!
Wish it was Christmas already?

Here's a little Nintendo Cheer.
I find your lack of cholesterol disturbing...

You probably know comedy is a brewin’ directly ahead when you read the statement “I ain’t homophobic, but-“
The comedy following in this case is from one Rev. Willie F. Wilson of Union Temple Baptist Church:


“Any time somebody got to slap some grease on your behind, and stick something in you, it’s something wrong with that. Your butt ain’t made for that. You got blood vessels and membranes in your behind. And if you put something unnatural in there, it breaks them all up. No wonder your behind is bleeding. It’s destroying us. Can’t make no connection with a screw and another screw. The Bible says, ‘God made them male and female.’ The Hebrew word ‘neged,’ which means complementary nature-there is something unique to man and unique to woman, and it takes those two things to complement each other. You can’t make a connection with two screws. It takes a screw and a nut!”

Hilarious!

All Your Halo Are Belong To Us

Bungie has posted some stats regarding how many Halo 2 games have been played since November 9th 2004. To date 324,362,454 games have been played online. Or 21,006 years worth. Longer than human existence.

Personally speaking though, this is the most horrifying statistic: The Halo player who has played the most games to date (his identity will remain secret in order to protect his job) has played a staggering, mind-boggling 14,919 games, spending an average of six hours per day, and playing around 71 games. Per day. Now that guy is a freak. Seriously.

Most popular maps:

There were some pictures of the XBox 360 Dev kit posted awhile back, and people are speculating like crazy that the power-supply unit (PSU) is going to be the one pictured. It's HUGE...about as wide as a brick and longer. I believe it houses a fan in it. An external PSU also allows for a smaller/slimmer console. I think personally it's a great idea, and since it will be housed in an entertainment center etc, it won't be anywhere near my 360. But the comments on this post CRACKED me up.

What the hell is wrong with you people? It's a bleeding power supply. The console goes on the floor or in a cabinet. The power supply goes on the floor or in the cabinet behind it. What is the big deal? It's not hanging off, you bunch of whining morons. Blah blah blah wah wah wah why couldn't they put it inside? Because the console would be that much bloody BIGGER, and you're the freaking idiots who bitched and moaned about the first Xbox being so big in the god damn first place.

If the AC adapter, of all things, is going to stop you from buying an Xbox 360, then you're likely too bloody stupid to use the console in the first place.

Honestly. The AC adapter's going to @#@# up the feng shui arrangement of your gaming environment? @#$@# off.

woah, my xbox 360 also comes with an air-cooled tolberone holder? sweet.

I don't see what the big deal is....It's a power supply....It's going to be hidden behind your TV. The size of the PSU isn't going to hinder how much fun you have playing games.


That last one was the *smartest* thing anyone said. It's true...it won't hinder my enjoyment of the system. If I have to lug it anywhere (which I hardly have to since any multiplayer gaming usually takes place where I AM) it'd still fit in a backback :) Ah I love the smell of internet flame wars in the morning!

So besides writing an advice column, submitting articles for Kotaku, and reviewing games/movies from time to time I post on the GameFaqs forums, either q's or helping those in games who are clueless. This post about what I can only imagine must be Grand Theft Auto takes the cake for stupidity.

Hello, Mrs. White Person! Please put your suitcase on the scanner! You are going to a tropical island? That sounds like so much fun, Mrs. White Person! Have a nice flight! Maybe you can bring me back a pet wombat!

Hello, Mr. Brown Person! I’m afraid you are on a watch list. That is because you are a bad person, Mr. Brown Person. Please come in the back room with me while I put on these tiny rubber gloves. No, your lawyer cannot help you.

WTF is wrong with these people. **Warning graphic animal abuse**
XBox has another "viral" campaign currently going on. The pictures (below) surfaced a

Also a blog was found (here on Blogger!) http://hex168.blogspot.com/ in '91, '94, & '97 back when AOL wasn't even a gleam in any techie's eye. Not to mention the person who created this blog didn't do so until this month...looks like speculation will be high until tomorrow noon...hope this isn't as pointless as the Origen campaign...
Biggest video game collection I have *ever* seen.
