Social Music Network For Gamers!
by saberwolf on Aug.16, 2009, under Music
So I’ve been wondering when someone was going to step up and create a database with all the badass gaming tracks out there… and as of last week that music has a place to call home.
“Playnit is a Social Music Network for Gamers!
Here you can listen and share hundreds of gaming musics with your friends and people around the world who like the same as you!
If you are a gamer, for sure you already have listened and enjoyed some great music on games which you would like to hear and hear again. Here you can search for hundreds of musics and music-videos of your favorite games. We don’t have the music you are looking for? Don’t worry! Simply ask our community about it!!
On Playnit you have lots of music to listen to. Just search for the game you want and start listening to your favorite videogame music. Everyone is free to upload new music or embed some exciting music videos directly from YouTube. But that’s not all! You can create and personalize your profile, and make your own playlist!”
Ever since the inception of Video Games Live (Video Games Live (VGL) is a concert series created and produced by industry veterans and video game composers Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall.[1] to help encourage and support the culture and art of video games, featuring music from over 50 major titles. Each featured segment is complemented by projected video footage, synchronized lighting, and on-stage interactive segments with the audience. – Wikipedia) music from the “gaming” genre has become more main stream. I don’t know too many people that if you played “One Winged Angel” for them they would say they’ve never heard it before.
I remember when i was a kid watching the WWF and how much each intro song from each big time wrestler used to stick in my head and those were just midi instrument tracks. Now if you tune into the WWE every wrestler has intro music by some large scale recording artist. Triple H walks down the ramp every night to Motorhead’s King of Kings, recorded specially for him. This is just a loose example of something that also has grown exponentially over the past two decades. The more mainstream video games become the more profitable this avenue of music will become. I think we are just starting to jump into the void that is video game’s music. So if you have a second and you want to check out a cool social website with a lot of interest to the ears check out playnit.com and you can follow the progression of the video game music world along with me.

Zero Punctuation: Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
by saberwolf on Aug.05, 2009, under Adventure, FPS
Zero Puntuation takes funny to a whole new level. This review is ZP’s 100th video and its, in my opinion the best one to date. Congratulations to Zero Punctuation and The Escapist Magazine for employing one of the funniest Brit’s I’ve ever encountered.
CheatCC Writes: “If you’ve been waiting for a great Western-themed shooter, then look no further than Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. The gameplay is fun and varied, the story is entertaining, the visuals are well done, the voice acting is terrific, and the game even sports a respectable online offering. Fans of the original Call of Juarez should also be quite pleased, since Bound in Blood’s story provides insight into Reverend Ray’s past while improving upon almost every aspect of the previous title. So, if you’re a fan of the previous game, the Western theme, or are just looking for an alternative to killing aliens with space marines, be sure to give Bound in Blood a try.”
On another note The escapist is having a contest for the development of a Zero Punctuation game… i can’t wait to hear Yahtzee review to winner of this thing.
“Starting Wednesday, August 5th, 2009, The Escapist will be taking submissions for browser based Zero Punctuation games. Submissions will be valid from August 5th to October 19th. All submissions will then be judged over a 2 week period and the winner(s) will be announced the week of November 16th.”

PS3 on the ‘Jared’ Diet
by saberwolf on Aug.05, 2009, under Uncategorized
Okay so yesterday Sony all but announced their plans for the PS3 Slim. Now they didn’t actually say that… but the rumor has been circulating since the beginning of June and a source told Playstation Insider that Sony has planned “Something that hasn’t been done before.” The suggestions they tossed at them were the PS3/HDTV Bundle? PSP Go Price Cut? PS3 Slim?
They replied with:
“N, Y, Y, (?)You’ll see 
“
4 answers that will truly keep us guessing. All that is definately known is that August 9th the 80gig version of the PS3 will stop selling in Japan and the 160gig version isn’t available there, so what are they going to replace it with? They did a slim version of the Playstation and PS2, why not the PS3?
August 18th should shead some light on the subject. Gizmodo believes that the system will be shown off at the gamescom expo in Cologne, Germany.
With Sony showing off new tech and delievering price cuts left and right you might see a quick shift in the market share for the current “real” next gen consoles. $50 off 160gb PS3 Package
okay, i know this is a shopped wii with a ps3 top on it... but cmon, it still looks kinda cool, right? ...right
Fake Youtube Video for the PS3 Slim… Silly Asians

A picture is worth a thousand words...
Things like this make me proud to be an American. Only in America can idiots like this parade around on the streets of L.A. and make a fool of themselves to only end up getting mocked all over the internet AND be proud of it. Please click the picture if you want anymore laughs…
