I want to put together a list of crazy shit that went down in the gaming world in 2010.  Here are some starters:

- PS3 Leap Year Glitch.  A low level date glitch rendered most PS3's inoperable for a 24 hours period. Madness ensues.

- Duke Nukem Forever get's a reprieve.

- Giantbomb's ill-fated 2 hour podcast payment plan that lasted about 12 hours.

- Inafunexplosion.

- 3DS Eats E3.

The endless parade of unexplainable delays of GT5, after the game went gold, followed by the weird "leak" stuff and then days without an official SCE response before the announcement of the current date.

Konami press conference at E3.

Cultist gathering at Kinect unveiling.

I'd say EA cancelling NBA Elite after it was reviewed and shipped to some retailers certainly sets a precedent!

- PS3 Leap Year Glitch.

This was hilarious, I wish it lasted a week just for some more meltdowns and comedy.

  • Inafune's breakdown
  • Bizarre Creations closing
  • the Infinity Ward's ex-CEOs VS Activision/Kotick controversy
  • Raven Software's future in limbo
  • the 3DS
  • Kinect! LOL
  • FFXIV sucking donkey butt!
  • Duke Nukem not dead
  • Kids wanting a iPhone/iPad more than the DS/360/Wii/PS3 for Christmas!
  • GoldenEye 007 on the Wii actually being good! GASP
  • Retro becoming the new Rare with DKC Returns!

But nothing, and I mean, NOTHING compares to Leo getting a 360 and playing a bunch of games! Nyaa
