I’ve got some Blur multiplayer beta keys. Only three, but that’s three more than I need. If you an Xbox Live gold subscription and you want to play Blur, which you do, hit the jump for further instructions. Not sure yet? Hit the jump anyway, and I’ll tell you why you want to play it.
***UPDATE*** 12:57:59 AM Seems we have been put on hold…for about THREE MONTHS…
From the #portal chatroom:
<mib_d258ix>:”The hex converted to decimal: 226 228 226 : 215 197 213 196 228 213 227 ( 201 ) + 211 197 197 197 If it’s ASCII it’s extended ASCII. Could it be EBCDIC (common mainframe encoding)? Edit: It IS EBCDIC. It spells: S U S : P E N D … U N T ( I ) L … E E E (colon, dots for spacing, and parens added to roughly locate them in the source image.) Hey, being QSECO
PROOF THIS IS THE REAL BSoD: HERE
Today at QDC Gabe Newell was awarded the Pioneer Award, and in his speech he talked about the industry and its interaction with the customers. Then at the end of his presentation he got a Blue Screen of Death. However this was no ordinary BSoD as you can see in this screenshot it contains the words “flood the facility with deadly neurotoxins.” Sounds oddly familiar…Oh yeah…Portal. It seems this is little more than a clever segway to the second part of the last Portal ARG which I covered here. So stay tuned as I cover the second part of this amazing adventure.
“Moral Kombat” is a 90 min. documentary on violence and graphic situations in video games. It provides a thorough view of both sides of the coin, so if you’ve got 90 minutes….
Also, the video contains a bit of explicit content here and there. You’ve been warned.
Thoughts? Comments?
On a lighter note, how many of the games either featured or used in clips have you played/heard of?
By the way, two of them have shown up as past reviews.
As you may or may not know, I am a HUGE fan of Monster Hunter. And when I heard there was a demo for the upcoming game Monster Hunter Tri I knew I had to try it out. The only problem was that I did not have a Wii…Well long story short this was the first $270 free demo I’ve ever gotten, and hopefully it will be my last. Was it worth it?
Just curious, really. What’s everyone going to be playing? Or, if your Spring break is in progress/already over, what did you play? I’m probably going to be playing a lot of Starcraft: Brood War, Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty beta, Team Fortress 2, and just a little bit of the Blur multiplayer beta. If you’d like to join me in any of those, (except Blur) instructions for how to do so are in our lovely forums. Anyway, this post is all about you guys. So please, take less than a minute and write up a comment! I really am genuinely interested in every response!
If I told you that a team somewhere was working on a new way to display graphics with unlimited detail on even the most limited hardware, you’d think I was crazy. Right? Actually, wrong. This will blow your mind. Hit the jump and let’s commence the mind blowing.
At long last, we have a complete list. Super Street Fighter IV will be bumping the character count from 25 up to 35, and here’s the mysterious Mr. 35 himself: Hakan.
…actually, it has been for eight days now. TAGJ’s very own form, The Astringent Gaming Community, is right here! Or you can just click “Forums” at the top of this very page! We have sections dedicated to BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, Monster Hunter, Starcraft, Starcraft II, Super Smash Brothers, Super Street Fighter IV, and Team Fortress 2 already.
Got a group or clan, but want more people to play with? Just start a thread!
If you play a game we don’t currently have support for, just ask for it!
We’re doing this so everyone can have more fun, so hop on over to the forum and get to posting! The community is small, but we’re all having a great time so far. We look forward to meeting you!
I’ve been wanting to write an article for some time now about why I have such enormous respect for Valve. It’s more the quality of their games. More than the fact that Steam is in my startup folder. Valve is recognizable as a force of good in the universe. So let’s discuss, shall we?
This is huge news for computer gaming! Over the last few years, quite an enormous number of people have made the transition over to Mac. I’m all about PC, but Mac is certainly a viable platform. That is, unless you’re a gamer. With the release of Portal 2, it looks like that dynamic will shift considerably. Read on for all the juicy details!
