This week, I'm skipping a game room for Kryptinite's PAX video. He made a little montage of some of the pictures and videos from PAX and set them to a very appropriate song. PAX 2009 is going to be amazing!

Chad is intense, Blipfest was awesome, Dyson's secret was revealed, vote for your game of the year, and plenty more happened this past week in the community.


Chad is a PIMP.

Faith made some sweet Chrono Trigger character beads.

lastSKYsamurai made one of the most delicious looking gaming cakes ever. It's not often that a videogame related cake looks good to me, even the cake in Portal. So I kind of find it funny that this Companion Cube cake looks mouth watering good.

.tiff sent Fusiontr a wonderful little gift. The packaging had some of her art on it, a bunch of random gaming swag, and best of all, a cute custom plushy by one .tiff.

Zen Albatross, the resident chiptunes master, recapped Blipfest. Tons of Dtoiders showed up and it looked like a really good time.

Brilliam also blogged about Blipfest and gave some shout outs to the Dtoiders he meet while in New York.

Last, but not least, Black Yoshi recounted his New York adventure during Blipfest. It was great until he went to the sex museum that had the Paris Hilton exhibit. 

FAILCAST episode 20 with Samit Soccer

Congratulations to cannedpasta on his new found fatherhood

The GHost has done some Matlocking and found out what Dyson has really been up to since leaving RetroforceGO!

Some community members did a little Secret Santa thing and Welkstar hooked up aborto thefetus up big time.

Here's the latest update to the Destructoid completed games list. Necros, I don't know how you manage to not go crazy writing this feature up.

power-glove and Phist kicked Gizmodo's ass at Call of Duty 4. Oh, and happy birthday Tino!

Highlights end this week with CountingConflict's unofficial community videogame awards. Go vote for your favorite games of the year!

Happy birthday wishes to:

I manage to update that list by having a crazy amount of OCD, drowning out my own thoughts by blasting music, and ingesting a smorgasbord of drugs.

A reminder: if you want to contribute to the completed games list for 2008, you only have about 15 more days to do it!

Fallout 3 is easily my GOTY, I just can't put it down and I got it on day one.

Valkyria Chronicles as GOTY. Game was almost totally ignored at retail and as a result bombed completely :(.

Weird choice maybe but I liked it alot :). Close second is Gears of war 2 or MGS4, third place to Left 4 Dead or Crysis Warhead.

Never have I sunk so much time into a game before.

Left 4 Dead....maybe it's because it so recently stuck in my mind, but i can't remember a multiplayer game that was so much fun

Man that video would have looked better if I wasn't so fucking tired. Next time I'll just upload it to Vimeo or something.

Metal Gear Solid 4
That IS game of the year as far as I'm concerned.

Game of the Year? Tough call. Fallout 3 is on top of my list right now, but it may not be there in the end.

Game of the year?I only played it for a month, but I gotta say GTA4 was an amazing game.

Shhhhh! Don't listen to Hamza. Save all of your "Game of the Year" picks for my end of the year Game Debate to the Death! article. We always have one big GOTY blowout to end the year. This year, though, there will be two. :) Not telling what the other is!

All of my favorite games that I had in mind apparently came out at the end of '07... oops. So, I'll go with Castle Crashers.

Rock Band and Guitar Hero are not "Video Games" in my opinion. If I were to make adjustments to the gameplay on those titles you would be able to walk off stage and go into the back room to shoot smack or do massive amounts of drugs, after which you can sleep with groupies, beat up fans, and act like a pretentious jerk. Now THAT would be a video game! As of right now? These games are nothing more than an over glorified "electronic Simon" game. I've been gaming for a good 25 + years, and never before have I been so insulted by someone trying to lump these crap rhythm games into the same category as masterpieces such as Metal Gear Solid and the Grand Theft Auto series.
What a Joke!
