PS4 Pre-Orders Begin at UK Retailer GAME
Game Stop, where you at on this?
Just Wednesday Sony announced the PS4. We didn’t get to see it, get specs on it, get pricing or have a firm release date. That didn’t stop UK retailer, GAME, from starting pre-orders. For £20.00 you can put down your pre-order deposit on something you know so little about. What’s bad though is people will be putting money down this early because they will buy it no matter what. Sort of like Apple fans. Read the rest of this article…
Planetside 2 Server Merges Coming
Traffic merges ahead!
That’s right, kiddies…Sony Online Entertainment is preparing to merge servers in their popular MMOFPS Planetside 2. I know that many people out there are saying that this is an indication that the game isn’t doing well and “the end is nigh!” but I call shenanigans on that, and here’s why:

Facebook Audio Notifications Now Appearing In The Wild, We Show You How To Turn Them Off
DOO-DOO.
While it was announced a few months ago, Facebook is now activating audio chimes with notifications on a standard web browser. I don’t hate it, it keeps me in the loop when Facebook gets lost amongst my many browser tabs, but with however many connected devices you own, it may get noisy to have an extra chime when Sally likes your photo or Uncle Doug replies with a diatribe. So, how do you shut it off? Let me show you.

‘Breaking Bad’ Review: The Rise (And Fall?) Of Walter White
Buy the RV. We start tomorrow.
No one would shut up about how great Breaking Bad is. They’d never quantify it, because in retrospect, I suppose that lures too many spoilers. I knew of the show, but my only exposure came from friends or a behind-the-scenes special they shot for the pilot, involving a not-bald Bryan Cranston stumbling around their RV meth lab in a green shirt and his whities, cracking jokes about how fun the shoot was. On that alone, I didn’t ever want to see the show. I eventually caved and took the red pill (or blue crystal, depending on who you ask) and got sucked in something deep, mainlining the series in less than a week. With a full eight episodes left to go in the entire run, it seems premature to rate the whole effort, so I’ll save a score until later this summer when those have finally aired. In the meantime, let’s talk about Breaking Bad. There will be major spoilers, so if you haven’t caught up yet, you should.

I’m Not Sure What Google’s Thinking With the Chromebook Pixel
It’s built like a luxury car!
When Google first came out with the Chromebook and were giving them out to people to let them test, I thought it was neat. Nick and I both got one and while I enjoyed playing with it for a little bit, I just couldn’t use it to be productive with what I do for a living. The Chromebook is a netbook, meaning that you can’t install any software on it, it’s essentially a web browser. For people that only use the computer for internet things and writing documents, it would be perfect, especially at their price point of $249. Read the rest of this article…
Playstation 4 News – The Witcher 3 Confirmed For PS4
Huge, expansive, open ended RPG? YES PLEASE!!!!!!
Well, it makes perfect sense that within a day of the official announcement of the Playstation 4 (like we didn’t all know it was coming), we’re getting announcements of games which have been confirmed as Playstation 4 titles. The first of those I”m going to announce is Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Goodbye, 1UP: Looking Back On The First Gaming Site I Ever Loved
The last iteration of 1UP.com before Ziff-Davis boxes it up.
Today, Ziff-Davis announced that not long after purchasing big media site IGN, they’d be shutting down all the sites that came with the UGO merger nearly two years ago, including GameSpy, UGO, and 1UP. Despite GameSpy’s Arcade software that came bundled with many PC games in the late nineties and early aughts or UGO’s clenched-fist logo from the same era, I have little affection for those sites. It’s not great to see people lose jobs, but they’re old properties that were cool back then and, obviously, mean so little now that Ziff-Davis decided to off them. Also, they’re the competition, so, like, less competition, right?
But 1UP? The site’s been whittled down over the years, but the fact remains that, really, 1UP.com kinda changed my life.

Goodbye Harlem Shake, We Won’t Miss You (February 2013 – February 2013)
Don’t do the Harlem Shake!
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in memory of, ahem, The Harlem Shake. Oh, it might have been a quirky little thing when we introduced the world to it a week and a half ago, but that’s gone now. It’s over. The Harlem Shake is Dead. I could not be happier.

New Video and Details About Watch_Dogs, We’s Got Em!
Dayyyuuummm!
Last year at E3, Ubisoft unveiled Watch_Dogs from out of nowhere. This game quickly intrigued everyone and looked badass. Since then there hasn’t been anything else that has come about, until now. Earlier at Sony’s PS4 “reveal”, Ubisoft showed off a walkthrough video that shows some new and awesome things about Watch_Dogs. Don’t worry if you didn’t see it because we’ve got it below with the rest of the details! Read the rest of this article…
Coors Light Brings Together Six World-Class Athletes to Test the First-Ever Cold Activated Skis
Dat cold activated bottle!
Coors Light is my beer of choice. Maybe it’s because I like to show some local pride (Coors is in Golden, CO), the fact that they have the best beer technology or maybe it’s because it just the best beer out there. Let’s go with all three. Read the rest of this article…
