I wonder if this is a first step on introducing Steam to console gamers, and possibly a sign of things to come for next gen. There were bunches lf Steam/Wii U rumors a while ago. I'm sure they weren't more than that but still its fun to think about.

Remastered Vulgar Display Of Power 20th anniversary comes out today.

BGCDPT08.JPG

IMO one of the Top 10 Metal albums of all time. Comes with an unreleased track called "Piss" that actually has a few parts that ended up in the song "Use My Third Arm" on the album Far Beyond Driven. Also comes with a Live DVD from Monsters Of Rock in Italy 1992.

If you notice in the Pantera video...the metalheads slowly gather like Miis. lol

Kind of a fitting video because the whole album was basically a call to arms, a call of unity, and a big middle finger to the anti-metal scene that was going on at the time.

At the risk of sounding like Aspro the ability to play Steam games on a Wii U or something would be awesome. Wouldn't want a stand alone Steam console, though. Unless I could buy it in a Steam sale for $5.

Raven you're going to have to find something else to get behind. Who knows, maybe a new game will be introduce at E3 (and actually launch in 2012), that'll catch your interest.

I would get behind Pikmin 3, but then I'd have to buy a Wii U. Hrm

Better than buying a Wii...

Sucks when that happens.  Have you got a paper slip to go get it from the depot or do you need to wait until next delivery?

Sucks to hear it Edge, but look at it this way; nearly everyone is experiencing server issues and a host of other problems so far.  Not getting the game right away will spare you some frustrations.

"Devil's Third was the first game scheduled to be published from Valhalla Game Studios, the studio founded by former Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki. Originally, the third-person action title had been targeted for release in early 2013, but now that will only come to fruition if THQ can quickly find a new home for the game. CEO Brian Farrell stated that the game "no longer fit THQ's profitability profile," and that they are currently talking to other companies about taking on the project.

When asked for further comment during the Q&A, Farrell explained that the company that produced the game engine that was originally to be used in Devil's Third went out of business, which meant that THQ had to step in and help them build a new engine. That expense, coupled with the current value of the Yen, factored into in the decision to drop the title."

Uh huh... If only, if only, there was some other kind of company that made game engines and licensed them to development houses...
