$25 dollar computer, Available soon

A man named David Braben has designed a computer that costs only twenty-five dollars to make; it runs on the free operating system, Ubuntu (Linux). This allows them to avoid the hefty costs of paying for individual keys for each copy of the operating system.

David hopes to be able to offer the computer for free to British students, to help further their education. I hope he'll be releasing it, too! It would be awesome to be able to carry around a small computer than hooks up to a big screen, like this!

Outland, Trailer

Here is a trailer for an awesome video game called Outland:

Redbox, Starts offering Video Games

Redbox will start to offer video game rentals at $2 for one night - alongside their $1 DVDs and $1.50 Blu-Rays. This is a really good idea and I wish I had thought of doing it myself... maybe I still should? I would love to have some sort of kiosk to sell video games through - if anyone one wants to work with me, I have great ideas for it.

Anyway, it's awesome that they're offering this. Some video game rentals at places like stores these days are just far too expensive. They will start to offer rentals in June.

Top Video Game, Easter Eggs, 2011

Here are some of the top Easter Eggs of 2011, as chosen by Break.com - too bad they didn't wait until Portal 2, because it has some of the most awesome Easter eggs. I'll post those below this video :D

Another game closer to Portal 2's Early Release

Portal 2 is getting closer and closer to its release and anyone can help it come quicker by buying the Potato Sack; this is a collection of 13 games which all have special levels and challenges inserted into them based on Portal 2 which we must beat to unlock Portal 2 early.

1...2...3... Kick It! has been finished and so has The Wonderful End of the World - we now have 11 games left to do! Our current focus is on the game AaAaAa!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity - it is currently almost 50% done!

Go and help us! Buy the Potato Sack and buy Portal 2 on the PC! Remember, it's cheaper on Amazon, but you get the early release if you buy on Steam!



 <<< Amazon $34.99 & Steam $44.99 Early Release >>> 

Here is a link helping you organize your efforts to unlock Portal 2 early!

Portal 2 price dropped to $34.99 on Amazon.com!

Click cover to buy Portal 2 on PC on Amazon.com >>>

Portal 2's price has dropped by quite a bit on Amazon! However, this is only for the PC version! Who knows how long this will last, so hurry up and buy it while you can (if you haven't already).

This game has had some cryptic advertisements and a game that the whole internet seemed to unite on; people everywhere were scrambling to solve the strange puzzle before about Noon on April 15th. There was a timer that was counting down for a few hours and now it has been revealed that we have the ability to release Portal 2 early.

The only way to release Portal 2 early is to get the Potato Sack on Steam, which is a collection of thirteen awesome games! Get the Potato Sack and Portal 2 and you'll be supporting Valve and the game's early release! Go on and buy Portal 2, if you haven't and then the Potato Sack if you have the money left. I want to play my Portal 2!

$150 Dollar Wii is coming! :D

The Wii is really really expensive, so it's probably a good idea to bring it down soon... The Xbox 360 has outsold that thing for months now - and the Wii is really an inferior system, more so since Kinect was released for the 360. I really hope the price of the Wii keeps going down... Maybe then I'll buy a second one. $99 dollars seems almost right... maybe a little less.

Steam coming to Android?!

Steam is the best online distributor for video games (in my opinion). There are so many sales that help consumers and publishers alike! If it comes to Android, I really want to see how well it does - it could probably help people get apps for cheaper and could get more people to use the awesome phones!

Steam - Video Recording - Coming Soon!

According to people on the internet, which are the most reliable people in the world, Steam is going to be getting a video recording feature soon! This will really help Steam become super amazing - because I hate the idea of having to use third party programs to record my video games. I just want to be able to make movies whenever I want with the use of only Steam!

Portal 2 - Cave Johnson! - Turrets - PREVIEW

Portal 2 is coming April 19th, and I can't wait! I've already preordered it with my brother, so we can get 20% off each (buying it on Steam allows you to get 10% off, but if you buy the two pack, you get 20% per game!)

Anyway, there is an awesome trailer that was released recently, and I think it's hilarious! This definitely shows easily what the Portal series is and should always be. Enjoy!
