With the Pennsylvania primary set for tomorrow, WWE and THQ have paired up in order to show what Clinton's and Obama's "wrasslin'" ring entrances would look like using Smackdown vs. Raw '08.
While it does not show any actual in-ring action, it does drive one to the point of tears after watching the abominable Hilary Clinton entrance. What's even more depressing is that WWE has actually sent out invitations to both Obama and Clinton for them to appear on their Monday Night Raw show in order to "settle the Democratic nomination process in the ring".
Sen. Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain will each deliver a taped message to the WWE audience on tonight's episode of Raw.
Now as you may or may not know, Destructoid's "Paula Abdul of beards", Y0j1mb0, has broken ground on The Official Destructoid Beard Club. For those of you unfortunate enough to grow a beard for some unknown reason (read: you're either a woman or a massive pussy), there is a solution for you! From the makers of "Rapist Glasses" comes this incredible feat of ingenuity:
Oh yeah sure, I mean it might make you look like some deranged, rapist-pedophile, but you do have to remember: "the bad boy look is for pussies".
I've been around this site for a while now, and I never really properly thanked this lovely community here for accepting me with arms wide open (in a non-gay way) and showing me how to perfect my snooty, dick attitude about my gaming tastes.
I love each and everyone of you so much that I decided to write a little letter showing my love:
After last week's surprise release for the Unreal Tournament III patch, it seems Epic has outdone themselves once again this week.
As of today, new DLC for Unreal Tournament III is out for both the PC and Playstation 3. Did I mention that it is free?
For further details on this awesome news, check out the press release:
Epic and Midway Announce Unreal Tournament 3 PC Has Gone Gold
PlayStation 3 and PC Gamers Can Get Their Frag On With Three New Maps for Unreal Tournament 3
Today, Midway and Epic Games announce that downloadable content for the award-winning first-person shooter, Unreal Tournament 3, is now available for PlayStation 3 and PC. The downloadable content consists of three deadly arenas: Morbias, Facing Worlds and Searchlight. PC users can find the new content at www.unrealtournament3.com, while PS3 users can download it directly from the PlayStation Network.
These downloads, which are free to all owners of Unreal Tournament 3, mark the latest achievement in providing the gaming community with unrivaled mods and superior experiences through the most recent installment in the Unreal Tournament franchise. While Unreal Tournament 3 shipped with 40 maps, and hundreds of user-created mods have been published since the game’s release, Midway and Epic are committed to providing fans with even more official content to further extend enjoyment of the game.
Morbias is the deathmatch arena that started it all, perfectly suited for anything from small intense duels to chaotic free-for-all matches. The Unreal Tournament classic, Facing Worlds was one of the most played maps in gaming history. This beloved sniper map makes its return alongside an intricate new capture the flag map, Searchlight, designed for both z-axis rooftop runs and strategic indoor gameplay. Returning classics and fresh new designs let you experience Unreal gaming like never before.
Unreal Tournament 3 is rated “M” for mature by the ESRB.
A remake of Facing Worlds? Oh fuck yes!
I'm interested in the new Capture The Flag map, Searchlight. From the way they explain it, it sounds pretty spiffy. It's been a long time since I've played Morbias. I just hope it's a faithful translation, along with the epic map that is Facing Worlds.
If you cannot find the new maps on PSN right now just remember that the maps will most likely be live when the Playstation Store is updated later tonight.
With the FREE update of Warhawk set to hit next week, Sony has released a trailer showing off the new additions to the game.
As you can see, the Bio-Reactor Field Generator & Mechanic's Field Wrench are shown off in the trailer. The Bio-Reactive Field Generator acts like a sort of "Halo 3 field generator", but it actually heals your allies and is able to kill your enemies. The field wrench is reminiscent of the Engineer's wrench in Team Fortress 2, in that it is able to not only repair your vehicle but is also able to harm an enemy's vehicle as well. Also mentioned in the trailer are the various fan-made custom paint jobs and insignias that will be incorporated into the patch.
While the idea of finally being able to repair vehicles during mid-fight has finally come true, I guess we'll have to see if it's a Godsend or just another stab in the face (from shipero... bastard)... and just in time for "Wednesday Night Warcawks" to boot.
With the release of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue set to drop next week in PAL territories, Eurogamer is reporting that pre-orders of the latest game in the series are pushing nearly 1 million in Europe.
According to the article, it is the first time that a PS3 title has racked up more than 1 million sales, all but certifying that the game will reach "platinum" status before it is even released. Eurogamer also has a review posted for Prologue giving the game a respectable "8 out of 10".
As much as I am a fan of the series, I am not looking forward to Prologue as it's basically just an extended demo which you have to pay for. Knowing that the game has already reached 1 million pre-orders is both staggering and disappointing.
Lets see if SCEA can pull of those numbers before the game hits the states April 17th.
I haven't typed a serious blog post in a long while, so I decided to start again. Also, don't expect any picture of my gaming rig. Sorry :(
Anyway, with that out of the way...
EA has announced two new titles (or expansion packs, if you will) for The Sims 2 universe; The Sims 2 - Kitchen and Bath Interior Design Stuff & The Sims 2 Double Deluxe. In Kitchen and Bath Interior Design Stuff, the player is given various choices in decorating their kitchen & bathroom to suit their tastes. Sounds exciting huh? While it is the typical sort of fair you'd expect from a Sims 2 expansion pack, the latter of the two announcements feels a bit like a rip-off if anything. With the The Sims 2 Double Deluxe, you would expect that the package comes with all sorts of expansion packs and "theme" materials from the Sims 2 lineup. That is not the case however, as The Sims 2 Double Deluxe will feature The Sims 2 Nightlife, The Sims 2 Celebration Stuff, and a bonus DVD with features not yet known. And that is all it will include.
I admit, that The Sims 2 is one of my guilty pleasures. Hell, I basically own all of the expansion packs and themes, but this is a huge slap in the face for the people who have yet experienced what The Sims 2 is all about. With news of The Sims 3 just around the corner, you would think that EA would come up with a bundle that packages all the previous expansions and "stuff" packs into one package, as they did with The Sims.
On a final note to this article, all the "stuff" packs have been entertaining in some way but the fact they are releasing a pack dedicated to kitchen & bath interiors feels a bit too "Martha Stewart-ish' for me. The bad part is, as much as I like The Sims games, I will probably get this pack as well.
Now I know the community blogs, have been a little uh... how should I put this... "retarded" as of late. I know I've done some pointless, idiotic things in my current stay of Destructoid, but I want to make it up to everyone by showing this lovely instructional video on proper forum etiquette which can also be applied to the postings of this fine community.
Maybe I'll take a few pointers from here and not be a complete douche bag, or maybe I'll just continue to point idiotic statements and rape other people's blogs. Whichever.
Now as most of you are aware, today is Valentine's Day. As the sunlight begins to die down, the night rises to give way for that "special time" of Valentine's Day. Yes, of course I mean the commencement of bumpin' uglies. I could go on and scorn the lucky guys, or gals, on here who have a significant other to get all warm and snuggly with, but tonight is special.
Of course, like my good buddy BrOnX says; you should treat your bb gurl (or boi) right every day and show/tell them how much you love them and not take their relationship for granted. Anyway, like I said, instead of being some bitter old bastard, I'm going to give kudos to the lovely boys and girls of Destructoid for the epic love makin' that's going down tonight (or starting again for you kinky bastards).
To help me do that, I thought I would post a video/song that, in my view, helps define Valentine's Day... a song that is not only romantic but, but defines the art of "doing the deed".
Yes, I'm talking about I Wanna Make It Wit Chu by The Dessert Sessions.
So enjoy tonight, watch in awe at the sexual power that is Josh Homme, and, most of all, enjoy the sweet, sweet love you will partake tonight.
P.S.: Guys... when you're laying next to your woman tonight... put it in her butt, just for me.
PEE PEE ES:
OH FUCK YEAH, FINALLY ON THE LEADERBOARDS! I mean, not that I actually care about that sorta thing... or anything. At least I'm with good company with Chad (he's so dreamy...).
