Portal 2, seven or two hours until release

Currently, Portal 2's release is set at about 7 hours from now; however, each time we complete one of the games from the Potato Sack, the time adjusts and we get closer by about an hour. So, if we complete the four games that are left, then we will unlock Portal 2 in about 2 hours. It's up to everyone to help out.

I really want to play this game, but I don't know how much this ARG thing is actually working...

"We're out of beta. We're releasing on time." the words of GlaDos. She was right... just on time. On the release date! Not early at all :(

Nintendo Wii, price drops to $170, new console inbound

Nintendo has decided to go ahead and bring down the price on their Nintendo Wii; recently, there was a rumor that it would drop to $150. There is also the evidence of the new console coming out soon, which will probably be revealed at E3, or around the time of E3 this year; this will be in late May or early June.

Project Cafe is the current name of the new console being revealed soon; Nintendo has kept it a big secret, but there have been rumors and things that have escaped their stone walls. Now we know about how it will be more powerful than a 360 or PS3 - it will have a controller with an HD screen on it - and it will be backwards compatible with the Wii and the GameCube! (Far better than the 360 or PS3, in my opinion... at least the rumors)

Portal 2, early release is staged and all lies

Portal 2 is being released 'early' according to the viral marketing campaign, but are they really? GlaDos has finally started using the potatoes which are supposed to overclock the 'CPUS' which are being unlocked around the clock. However, some are wondering if it's all staged.

According to the people who are working around the clock to get the early release of Portal 2, the game can release NO EARLIER THAN TUESDAY AT MIDNIGHT in some places. What was Valve thinking? you might have asked; well, Valve may have been trying to be like GlaDos.

• GlaDos promised Chell there would be a cake at the end of Portal, but there was no cake - the cake is a lie.
• Valve promised fans there would be an early release at the end of the ARG, but there is no early release - the early release is a lie.

It is all a lie, according to those who believe the theory; I smell lawsuits and investigations coming!

Here is GlaDos' Log so far:

08:57 - Default boot scheduled to finish in 19:23:01
08:58 - Activating emergency distributed computing grid...
09:00 - GLaDOS@home starting...
09:01 - Recruiting cpus to force faster boot sequence...
19:55 - Calculations complete for The Wonderful End of the World. Recalculating a new launch projection...
11:55 - Calculations complete for 1... 2... 3... Kick It!. Recalculating a new launch projection...
21:00 - Calculations complete for AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity. Recalculating a new launch projection...
04:00 - Calculations complete for RUSH. Recalculating a new launch projection...
10:15 - Calculations complete for Cogs. Recalculating a new launch projection...
15:35 - Calculations complete for Toki Tori. Recalculating a new launch projection...
20:20 - Calculations complete for BIT.TRIP BEAT. Recalculating a new launch projection...
10:50 - Engaging starch-based power cells
11:00 - Reboot safety test protocol initiated...
11:00 - Relaxation chamber locks released...
11:00 - Involuntary hazard mitigation associates have assumed testing positions...
11:00 - Pre-release lethality assessment initiated...

So, it looks to me that this is all fixed. They SOMEHOW unlocked at EXACTLY 11:00, which seems a little suspicious. It seems that Valve has fixed the whole thing to unlock only at a specific time! What was Valve thinking? Only time may tell.

Will we get an early release? Not according to GlaDos, so far!

Portal 2, early release just scam for our money

Portal 2 is being released early, no question about that; however, some are beginning to give up hope of it really released early. I mean that the game may only release about an hour before the normal release date, so what's the difference?

In all honesty, they might as well have not done this whole early release campaign, or at least started it a little earlier. Right now, we're about 79% of the way to the early release, but it isn't really very much of an early release. Seriously, who cares about waiting an extra hour?

This entire early release campaign is a scam; I could have pre-ordered it from GameStop and gone to pick it up at midnight, and some stores are already selling the PS3 version of Portal 2 - and Amazon.com is selling it for only $34.99, cheaper than Steam or anywhere else!

I think that this whole campaign was just a waste of time, money and effort for a lot of people.

They promise an early release, when in all reality all they wanted was our money spent on the Potato Sack - the collection of 13 games on sale, now.

The game better be really fun, now; otherwise, people are going to be really angry they spent any time or money on this terrible marketing campaign!

Nonetheless, I still want to play Portal 2 early; so, I'm going to play along with this stupid marketing campaign to the end; it's a cool marketing campaign, but executed terribly. I think they expected more people to be involved in helping out...

I still want to play the game early, so: CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT HOW TO HELP!

The Sims Medieval, tv commercial

The Sims Medieval is a whole new game in the Sims series; no, it's not another expansion to the Sims 3 or any other Sims game. It is all on its own in the world, hopefully there to create a whole new piece of the Sims series, with its own expansions and everything.

I scoured the internet for this trailer after I saw it on television earlier, because I found it hilarious and ironic (which probably caused the hilarity). Anyway, go ahead and watch this awesome looking new game's trailer!
