Evening Reading: Time to Sit Back and Unwind

July 14, 2010 5:00 PM

Brian and I are both fighting off some sort of mid-summer cold but he got the worst of it today. That left me to knock off the rust and work some news feeds. So I got a firsthand reminder of what the summer videogame news doldrums are like.

There's certainly no shortage of good games to play. Along with NCAA Football (which I just reviewed) I've been enjoying the hell out of Puzzle Quest 2. I'll probably tap out a few words on it shortly. And I can not wait to get home and download DeathSpank to my retail 360. I've been playing it on my debug and it's blast.

If you're looking for something to play, we've also got 1000 beta keys for Divine Souls.

Gaming News o'the Day:

All the rest:

Best San Francisco Rock Band? I dunno, but all of Arnocorps music is schwarzenegger movie themed.
From the "Oh America" file, Carl's Jr, is testing a "Footlong Cheeseburger"
Due Date trailer looks pretty funny.
Can it be true? Beavis and Butt-head making a come back?

The comments are now diamonds! I wonder how long they will keep this up. I thought it was a one day thing, but...nope.

  didn't he say somewhere that he'd be around until thursday? I can't imagine they'd extend it past another day, if they don't finish up tonight. Don't want to beat it into the ground too much.

  They should stop after today or tomorrow. They're at the top, I think if they go much further they'll be in danger of killing the appeal.

    Yup, they definitely shouldn't do it tomorrow. It's still good, but it's going to get old very very quickly.

        Noooo.. I'm just lost as to what the OP is talking about exactly. Comments.. Are diamonds. Hmm. I'm in the comments and see no diamonds here. Are we talking about this site or maybe the Old Spice YouTube stuff? Apple? Steinbrenner? TF2?

        I'm guessing it's from one of the videos he's made in the past few days. Go watch them all and get hip to the incoming flurry of new memes.

        No, it's from the very first commercial he did, though he has used it once or twice in these video responses.

        I've seen it, I just didn't put two and two together when I read your post. So many meme's to decode (if it's even a meme and not literal) and I can't keep them all straight!

        Well, throw us a bone or is it something we're not supposed to be discussing openly here?

  I'm hoping they quit while they're ahead, its going to be very tempting to over saturate.
