I don;t think anyone has a problem with free games.  But free consoles is crossing the line.  Even congress has limits on the value of personal gifts you can receive from those you are conducting business with.  A $500+ gift is a bit too generous.

But in congress the $500 limit refers to how much one is expected to give, not how much one is allowed to receive.

I personally couldn't care less if the type of self-righteous consumer guide hypocritics (declaring the free shit they're receiving, but still taking it anyway) that make this into an issue were being given gold encrusted blowjobs. Their bullshit reviews would be no less vapid than the marketing bilge that they already are if they had to buy their consoles themselves because they're already approaching their whole job from the wrong perspective: consumerism---marketing.

It was a joke, cunt.

Qatar's new football stadium:

By internationaly famed architect Zaha Hadid, the roof is inspired by the sails of a typical local kind of fishermens boat.  I'm sure that's what everyone here sees in it too.

Of course I say this after getting a free copy of AC4 cause GS has a bunch of them lying around.

You should have entered Gamespot in an all black outfit with a sack over your shoulder and just looted the damn place. On the gaming paid trips, it's not the free trip that's the primary concern, it's the controlled environment and restrictive nature of it all. When I play a game it takes ages to complete and get the full picture, a few hours or a day in a hotel just isn't enough.

On Dead Rising 3, they fixed the frame rate issues prior launch I heard. Did you buy an X1?

GG, car magazines do get given the cars to review, they just don't get to keep them.

Yeah that's what I meant. I just laughed at my imagined scenario of some magazine and it's team amassing a fleet of supercars somewhere in a carpark to keep. LOL

Update on Shenmue 3 trademake from Eurogamer:

Apparently, the trademark is fake as it lacks application reference numbers.

Now you piss me off again!

Once again, common sense prevails and there will be no Shenmue 3.

He doesn't hate you. He just doesn't give a fuck. There's a difference between hate and apathy you know.

Sony confirms PS4 and Vita bundles for under £500

This reminds me of something really strange. A few nights ago my wife woke me up (she comes to bed about 2 hours later than I do) as she was coming to bed and told me that the Vita/PS4 bundle had been confirmed. It's not uncommon for her to wake me up to say good night, or tell me something she saw on Facebook regarding one of friends or something like that. This couldn't have been a stranger thing for her to say, particularly because I haven't said a single word about either system. I hope she's not planning on getting me one for Christmas.

Really? I use toilet paper. Are Euros soft?

So it's Thanksgiving today? Happy one to you all.

To every Animal Crossing player, it's the Harvest Festival. Yay.

I think I'm on the final level on Deus Ex, oil rig level? Wtf happened to the graphics? It's a night and day difference between the rest of the game, weather effects, rain lashing down, lightnight flashing, everything reflected to hell and back. Looks great but chugs a little, not by much but a little. I tried to post some pics last night but the picture editor wasn't playing nice with the U browser. So what missions are the Missing Link? I hear it's seamlessly integrated but I would like to know what missions it refers too.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Borderlands 2 on Plus!!!
