For those of you that I get to talk to on a daily basis within the community, you know that I’m probably the most excited for PAX out of everyone that’s going. I’ve been dickisly teasing people for a while now about something really cool that Destructoid is trying to do at PAX. Niero finally revealed it in hisliveblog of the Penny Arcade panelearlier that we should be having a Destructoid Panel at PAX....
See that robo bug? IT was made out of a Sega Saturn flight joystick! Pretty awesome mod. I kind of want this to be a fad sparker and see more of this kind of stuff.

While I don’t altogether hate the new voice work in theSilent Hill HD Collection, Jim’s alternative is a worthwhile option. Seriously, Konami should look into using this cut instead.

The last golden wrench has been found! Quick, someone create a mash-up of that one scene fromWilly Wonka & the Chocolate FactoryandTeam Fortress 2! The Engineer update is out, and while I strongly urge you to just go play it right now, I guess I’m contractually obligated to be slightly more informative than that. Since welast checked in, a few developments have been made, such as the maps “Hightower” and “Thunder Mountain” (terrific name)....
Well now, ain’t Mistwalker just full of surprises? It has been confirmed thatThe Last Storywill feature online multiplayer, something that hasn’t even been hinted at before during the game’s lengthy build-up. The Wii-exclusive RPG will allow for up to six players to duke it out online, either cooperatively or competitively. The online mode can be found within the “Raid Lobby” where two different types of battles will be available. The competitive battle will simply be a fight between players using their favorite character....
Ashley Davis had a wonderful article up today called “A tribute to gaming’s sweetest rides“. In it, Ashley listed some of the best ridable videogame helpers. Wheelie, of all the characters on the list, is easily my favorite. Wheelie is especially fun when there are two players as Wheelie gets an extra bonus ability! Anthony joined XFire for a debate, Jessica Chobot is riding dirty, Jim reviewedGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, check out the worlds biggest game ofTetris, Aktrez showed us her Zero Suit and plenty more happened over the weekend....
When I was younger, I played all sorts of games, but now that I fit into that dubious “gamer over 30” demographic, I’ve noticed an interesting development: I really like games that chill me out. I guess it could come across as boring to some, but I’m too busy digging it to really care. I mean, I confessed to all of you that I lovedDiner Dash, so if you don’t think I’m a loser already, you never will....
[Editor’s note: Bwark-Kupo talks aboutPaper Mario 64’sTubba Blubba for hisMonthly Musingpiece. — CTZ] Goddamn. I lovedPaper Mariowhen I was younger. Adventuring as the mustachioed hero in an action oriented RPG was just the vacation I needed from my boring everyday life. Discovering new cooking recipes, powering up my partners, and exploring a new version of the Mushroom Kingdom was enough to make me squeal with delight at times, and gasp in awe at others....
Listen carefully. Go on. Listen.Reallyconcentrate. Hear it? The curious sound you can detect floating across the breeze is that of the world’s PC hardware vendors wringing their hands with glee at today’s news fromid Software. You see it turns out that the House ofDoomhas got a brand new franchise on the way, and once again, John “Gaze upon my minimum spec and weep” Carmack is at the helm. At the moment there are no details other than the project’s existence (Anyone willing to take my bet that it’s an FPS?...
If Microsoft truly have any plans to include an HD-DVD drive with their Xbox 360, Toshiba ain’t talking. In fact, they’re outright denying it. Rumors circulated last week that Microsoft would finally man up and include the HD-DVD drive in (yet another) revision of the console. Right before they made him pose with Victoria Beckham in lingerie, an unnamed Toshiba exec toldStuffthat’s not in the cards. “It’s got nothing to do with us,” the mystery exec said....
Tritton’sAX Pro Gaming Headset seems like a beast. It comes equipped with 5.1 Dolby surround sound and a detachable microphone that’s compatible over Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. It also looks snazzy, which is more than what I can say abouttheselovelyheadphones. Hardcore gaming enthusiasts seem to dig them, as Tritton’s headset was selected to represent them in The Sci-Fi Channel’sWCV Ultimate Gamer— a reality show that will pit 12 gamers again each other in various digital (I sawRockBand 2,Street Fighter IVandHalo 3in theshow’s trailer) and real life competitions....
