Ah this is the kind of art I like. Sushi! Funny part is I would just wait long enough to do a small photo shoot before devouring this awesome display of Bioshock fan art without mercy.

Unlike most major video game developers Ubisoft has taken note that if you keep pumping out the same titles year after year people won’t play your games. If you don’t believe me look at the Call of Duty franchise which my friends and I hold in high esteem but have only played Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 cause we are tired of shooting Nazis ever other year in the same game that just looks moderately better.
Even I, who has been a huge fan of Prince of Persia didn’t buy the previous two chapters in the prince’s life, since I bought the first one of my buddies bought the second, and another the third and we shared our copies cause none of us could keep up with playing the same game over and over again.
Going back to your roots is the best thing possible, I am going to get my hands on the new Prince of Persia to see if this really is the case.
Speaking to Forbes, Detoc suggested that the company had learnt from the lacklustre sales of the two sequels to Price of Persia: Sands of Time, which is why the company waited three years to for the latest franchise reboot and isn’t rushing out a sequel to Assassin’s Creed.
“As we get bigger, we can give it more breathing room,” Detoc explained. “When we bring it back, there will be more anticipation for it.”

I believe I got all my errors fixed. The Chat Room works, fixed all the Forum errors, and I have a Podcast setup to record this weekend. Expect the Podcast on Monday and till then post on the forum and chat in the chat room. Had a great match of Left 4 Dead with Bill lastnight, hope we can get one going again before he goes to work.

For either 6.99 apiece or 14.99 for the entire 4 pack you can to be awesome beyond amazement. If you are like me and have already spent 10 hours playing L4D during their busy life you will find this an stupendous offer. You also might want to stop off and atleast check out the Valve Store.

Photographer Robbie Cooper from New York Times shows exactly what you look like when you game. Makes me really wonder what I look like when I game…

Currently I’ve been working very hard *cough* on fixing up the forum and installing a chat room. The chat room and the forum seems to be at peak performance at the moment. Without adding in extra plug-ins that I might be installing here as soon as I fix a few minor problems.
You cannot currently post comments on FoxPunk cause like my blog we will be moving them to the forum. Sometime soon I will be making the code change so you can post directly to the forum.

Not that I care, but seriously isn’t this the greatest thing ever to happen in the video game industry? I mean you can walk in and actually just buy what you want before the servers go online? It is not a big deal from my point of view and is certainly not as bad as selling Gears of War 2 early which offers content offline.
My idea is, if the game is done, the game is done. Sell it when you have it to sell. A lot of us don’t really care about launch day hype or launch day parties, as we are just gamers that work all day long and just want their game for the weekends when they are not trying to earn a living. By earning a living I mean buying video games of course.
The guys over at 1up are awesome. Rather than explain how awesome they are they made of video of how awesome they are walking to 7-11s and grabbing early copies of WoLK.

Strange when some instant message clients don’t have voice or video but it seems now your email does if you use Gmail. Announced is a 2mb download for Gmail that allows you to, on addition to already chatting on Gmail’s chat client, you can do voice and video as well now. Compatible with all major web browsers this is a must for me. Though I’ll have to test it out with someone… hum.
Google just added voice and video chat capabilities to Gmail, the perennially in beta web mail program. It uses a special web browser plug-in available for PC and Mac, which requires Firefox, IE, Chrome, and a camera. The plug-in only weights 2MB.

Very sad news. I’ve been following this story with various degrees of snickering and scoffing due to the medias finger pointing coverage of this tragic event. While I am very sad for the death of a child in any situation and I should not have been anything but concerned for his safety and safe return I cannot help hating everything that led to this point due to the blame that was put instantly on the video game community. When suddenly it was the video game’s or possibly video gamer community that was responsible for the disappearance of this child instead of the parent’s fault blew my mind. It was a case of deviant video gamer kidnaps little kid or video game addiction causes child to run away. I’ve also heard a few crazy things in reference to the parent that I cannot back up, but it sounds like they encouraged the kid to runaway and to trust he would eventually return safe and sound no matter what. My parents always let me run away from home but never let me get too far out of their sights and when I finally turned around I found them a short ways behind me ready to take me home. Why wasn’t such care taken in this case?
Please if you are a parent, think upon this mistake and realize it cost a little boy his life.

Playing $60 bucks for this bad boy might be the geekiest thing I may have ever thought of buying aside from various DVD collects on my shelf.
If there’s something every Sith Lord knows how to do it’s make a balanced breakfast. While the Jedi have to live off of Jawa juice and fried nerfsteak, the Dark Lord of the Sith prefers to have a reminder of his fiery Mustafar defeat at his breakfast table. Every morning he burns that moment into a slice of bread with the Darth Vader Toaster. This black, ominous kitchen appliance easily leaves the mark of Vader’s helmet in every yummy piece of toast. Slather some Bantha butter on top, or make two pieces for an extra-Sithy BLT. Force power not required to operate toaster.
You can preorder it now and it will ship sometime in January 2009.
