So basically EA is taking the glory for something someone else did?

What? Visceral is an EA studio.

This chick's worried about her grammar on the internet?

She should be more worried about the VSNers fapping to her profile pics on the way to school/work.

If you didn't notice..... I had a question mark after my comment, but thanks for answering my question with a question. I guess.

she looks annoying and self absorbed (most chix). That tattoo is just hideous.

The same guy (Nolan North) who voices Nathan Drake also voices my all time favorite character in the Zombie mode in Call of Duty.

Edward Richtofen. Hands down one of the funniest gaming characters created. If you follow the storyline to zombies through all the maps clues and easter eggs, this guy is actually a monster. He created the zombies, experimented on Dempsey, Takeo, and the other dude. Done all sorts of shit.



I thought that was a cool fun fact that I just found out the other day.

Every game that has ever been made has at least one part in which North has done a voiceover.

The thing is, Richoten is one of my all time favorite characters and he doesnt sound anyuthing like Nolan North, which surprised the fuck out of me.

Just a small rant about Gamestop. I stopped in today to renew my subscription. My last issue of GI had one of those "Final Issue!" notices. I knew my Edge card expired next month so I figured I'd take care of it. They upgraded me to the new Power Up card which is cool. But the thing that pisses me off is that since I renewed today my subscription only goes to February 2012, meaning I lose a month. It's not that big a deal but it's fucking stupid. Why even bother renewing early? The whole reason I did it is because if I had waited until next month then the mag subscription would've been interrupted.

This happened a few years ago when I renewed the Edge card so I should've know better. Luckily one of the managers who I'm cool with adjusted the expiration. I figured they would've gotten their shit straight with this new program but I guess not.

Just a rant and a heads up to anyone else. You're better off just procrastinating and waiting until the last minute.

I love how Giant Bomb has a Northie Award every year.

I'm replaying Half-Life 2 as I got the Orange Box on Amazon for 10 bucks with a GC. It is still such a fantastically done game it's literally jaw dropping at times. Even with the aging process.

How much is it for the power card and the magazine subscription? I think I want game informer back.
