Evening Reading

I wonder when the last time a game launched with a major bug that a developer actually admitted "ok this bug sucks and breaks the game for a lot of people" instead of that panzy ass "a select few gamers" stuff.

Crazy Amazon picture thingie
Future cars
Speaking of cars and the future

As for the the videogame news around these parts:

Divinity 2 screenshots
Mirror's Edge PC release on January 13
GTA4 PC issues response by Rockstar
Mirror's Edge DLC looks really hard, really silly
GRID DLC is here
Square pondering Eidos buyout
Force Unleashed DLC now available
Free XBLA games for your friends
Activision hiding head in sand, probably pissy with Massive
Midway stock going to poopies
Namco pushing envelopes with Surge
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand trailer
X-Men Origins: Wolverine screenshots
Red Alert 3 patch

Lastly, I would like FIOS in my area please, thanks.

    I have a theory about Lock Stock versus Snatch. It's very simple. You prefer whichever film you saw first. This is because they're so fucking similar. I like Snatch best.

      I have found this to be true approximately 95% of the time. The few exceptions go both ways, but the ones who prefer Lock Stock over Snatch even after seeing Snatch first outnumber the other ones.
      
      So Lock Stock is clearly superior.

      Nah, Lock Stock has a more interesting plot. Snatch is more about the style and characters. They're both great in their own way.

      I prefer Snatch which I saw later. It's because Jason Statham had a more prominent role and that guy is awesome

    Lock Stock vs Snatch is pretty much like the work in progress vs. final cut linked in this thread:
