t3h w31rd: February 4th, 2007
Yes, yes, “t3h w31rd” is usually on Fridays, right? Well, not any more. Because Sundays are practically DEAD, I’m moving t3h w31rd to Sundays. That way, I have something to do to keep my mind occupied. So, without further adieu, I present the new Sunday Edition of t3h w31rd!
t3h w31rd after the break…
Two men steal an Xbox 360… from a cancer patient
How freakin’ low do you have to be, to steal an Xbox 360 from a cancer patient DURING SURGERY?! This is the story of Jeffrey Cota, a former basketball player who used his Xbox 360 as a form of escapism when he learned that he had bone cancer. When his sister returned home from work one afternoon, she discovered, to her dismay, that their house had been broken into and their Xbox 360 stolen. When news of this reached the townsfolk, his school was bombarded by calls from neighbors and well wishers offering to donate a new one. Touché to the townsfolk.
Some good news to be had, though. Local police arrested two people who they believe were in on the heist, and say they are confident that the arrest of a third person is imminent. Hopefully those guys will burn.
The Trailer to “Postal”
How in the hell does Uwe Boll continue to get the rights to video games in order to make these God awful films? First it was House of the Dead (which was about as far from the game as humanly possible), then Alone in the Dark, and then the colossal bomb that was Bloodrayne (I rank Bloodrayne as his worst because it looked like they were actually TRYING to make a good movie, which only worsens the sting)… and now Postal.
Wait, Postal? Out of all the licenses for so many video games, you settle on Postal? …WTF, dude?
Either way, the trailer for the film recently hit the interweb, and as you can tell by viewing it below… it’s going to suck. NSFW, or NSFS, or NSFC, or whatever else it’s not safe for.
…God, that was a new kind of pain.
A Man and his Xbox
This is a fascinating video, as a man tells the frightful tale of his inability to get an Xbox 360 that actually WORKED. Sure, it doesn’t paint everybody’s favorite console in the best light, but the fact that he spent six hours trying to get a system that worked baffles me.
The moral of the story is something I have been preaching for years: Never, EVER buy electronics from Wal-Mart. Ever. Don’t even buy batteries at Wal-Mart, if you can help it.
Video Game Blogger Claims to be Huge Dan Aykroyd fan, misspells his name THREE TIMES
Yup… even I am not above my own scrutiny. All I can say is… my bad.
And finally…
With the news that Dan Aykroyd let slip that there WILL be a new Ghostbusters game coming sometime in the next year or so, this seems a bit moot, but all the same… sign the “Zootfly Ghostbusters Game Petition.”
That’s it for t3h w31rd this week. Have a good week, and go Colts!
