Come On Shark, We Need a Good Game

XNA has been released (check out the tutorial) and we have a man with the skills in our clan. So everybody chime in here and give Sharkie some encouragement to make the next great XBL Arcade game.

Gold Harvesting and Real Estate Development in Virtual Worlds?

The Australian Broadcast Corp's show, Background Briefing, did an excellent piece on the virtual economies of the game world. If you ever wondering about massive gold harvesting shops in China or how to speculate on virtual real estate, give this a listen. Perhaps we ought to change our game platforms and quite our jobs?

Fappers Should be Minimized with H3 and the 360

This LINK is an article from The Escapist that talks about the morons that Live gaming has to deal with. It also spells out how the four zones of gaming that the 360 has should make our gaming more enjoyable when H3 comes out. Because we will play with Recreational gamers and the 'Underground' players will have their world of fapping. We could test ourselves in the "Famliy" zone but I think staying in Recreational is a good idea until proven differently.
What do you think?

Having Withdrawls At Work?

Hump a Hummer!

As we approach $4 a gallon on our way to $5 we are using more gas than ever. Instead of being teabagged by the huge monsters of the road some people are fighting back. These gas suckers don't have a chance against the HUMPING public. Let's join in and Hump a Hummer today. It's kind of like warm apple pie.

Happy Humpday: FIGHT!

Calling all clanners who've ever wanted to beat the shit out of Free. You've suffered through bad PhotoShoppings, horrible songs and lame movies, now's your chance to make me pay. Street Fighter II Hyperfighting is now available on XBLM and I downloaded it this morning. There's a nice help section (be sure to look at the controls page as both triggers and bumper buttons are used in the game). It has a nice training mode so you can work on your special moves (also in the help section). And there's a "quarter" mode that should be great for the clan. In quarter mode, four people join the game with two fighting and two watching. The winner stays in the game and the loser goes back to the viewing lobby. Are you ready? You got what it takes to kick some ass? Let's get it on and find out who the top dog is in the 2130.
