Well it is official everyone. The movie that many have speculated couldn’t be done or wouldn’t work is in fact one of the best comic book movies to hit the scene. Given the difficulty it probably was to put all of these characters on the screen and to manage to make it cohesive and fun is nothing short of a miracle. Director Joss Whedon has melded together a very funny and sharp movie that will please the average movie goer and fanboy alike. Which as anyone should know is extremely hard to do. It is a fine line and Whedon treads that line with gusto, wit and charm. He has a deep understanding of not only the audience but also the material which is greatly apparent in the risk he takes. He understands that the little human details are what make us care. So the interaction between these super heroes is hugely important and he takes the time to build that.
If you are in or going to be in the Nations Capital (Washington DC, and I added Washington DC as there is a great chance some people do not know where the Nations Capital is) between now and September 30, 2012 you will need to swing by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and check out the “The Art of Video Games” exhibit.
The OG’z will provide more coverage latter in the summer.

"Im in ur base bangin ur doodz"
Story c/o NBC Connecticut
Monroe police have charged 22 year-old Cassandra Grant of Rockford, Maine with second-degree sexual assault and injury/risk impairing morals, after a 14 year-old teen’s parents complained that their son was having a sexual relationship with the woman.
According to police, Cassandra Grant & the teen met online in March 2011 through the PlayStation 3 game, “Call of Duty.” The relationship escalated as they texted each other, met on webcam, spoke on the phone, finally meeting in person & (Gadzooks!) having intercourse.
It was around this time that the teen’s parents learned that Grant was actually 21, & cockblocked contacted the police.
Monroe police and the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit investigated and police applied for an arrest warrant.
Grant, now 22, turned herself in to Monroe Police on Monday, March 12, and was released after posting a $10,000 bond.
I’m not sure which is worse; a 21 year-old woman showing a 14 year-old boy how to empty his balls inside her instead of using them to teabag opponents, or the parents that think it’s OK to buy their 14 year-old a MATURE rated game that depicts realistic blood and violence.
Gotta love parents. Gotta love society.
A first look at behind the scenes of Halo 4. Being developed by 343 Studios.
So far, looks good.
So far…

I’m not usually the OG that posts comic book related articles (cuz I don’t fuckin’ collect them) but back in my high school days I was a comic collector. And when I saw the posting of this video, it gave me a little nostalgia. And so, to prove to the others that I actually do shit around here I thought I’d like to be the one that shares this moment.
Remember that whole Coke conspiracy shindig in the mid 80′s? Rumor was, DC Comics took notes and pulled something similar with Superman. To me, Superman was aging, and in the early 90′s he was 20 minutes from being washed up. His comics were boring as fuck (despite the fact that at the time everyone knew DC Comics had better stories) and it didn’t help that most of his comics were poorly drawn! I collected a few and promptly stopped, while I watched others buy his comic like an necessity, like buying deodorant. However, I did read it (best friend at the time bought it) and thought his death was worthy of notice, and the 4 new Supermen was a good concept, but it quickly lost its interest with me. I just never really fed into it.
Well that’s just my opinion, here’s a video created by Max Landis with a funny and witty approach about the death and return of Superman.

No Wonder Why Your Team Sucks; Gamer Dies At Internet Cafe, Unnoticed For Hours
on February 4th, 2012Talk about dead weight teammates, this guys skills were as stiff as a board, I’ve heard of a dead lay but this is…….I could keep going for hours, but let’s get focused here.
According to Beijingshots.com and 9news, 23 year old Chen Rongyou walked into a internet cafe in New Taipei, Taiwan Tuesday evening, and purchased a 23 hour gaming pass for a game called League of Legends. By Wednesday afternoon, he was seen talking on his phone, while still playing his game. However, when his 23 hours expired, he was approached by a waitress, who discovered he was DEAD! Not only was he dead, local police determined he had been dead for 9 HOURS! So how’s it no one noticed? Because when he died, he was slouched in his seat with his arms extended and his body stiffened up fast. So to everyone else, he looked alive.
Eww right? But wait, it gets worse! Not only did the internet cafe stay open the entire time while the police were carrying out his body, only a few customers left! And the customers that stayed, they weren’t there to watch the police take away a dead dude, they were playing their games!!
"They just found Leeroy dead in the corner!" "And he ain't fuckin' up our raids anymore! Keep playin!"
The initial investigators determined Mr. Rongyou died of cardiac arrest due to low temperatures. I smell a lawsuit!
All kidding aside; it’s always sad to see a fellow gamer die, but at least he died doing something he enjoyed. My next shot is to you, Chen…if I remember.
Still not convinced no one would have noticed? Check out the pics below.
WARNING: YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE AN ACTUAL DEAD BODY! !
CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD was recently teased and then announced on the Spike VGAs last week. Promised to be a return to its roots, this game will combine elements from the first two games in the long running and ever-changing series. “We’re going back to the core of what made the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games so popular, while leveraging today’s console power and online capabilities,” Tony Hawk said in Activision’s press release.
Unlike past sequels in the series, Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD will be released as a digital downloadable game priced around $15 on the XBox 360 and PS3 in the summer of 2012. Given the lackluster sales in the most recent releases, specifically the peripheral based Tony Hawk: RIDE and Tony Hawk: SHRED, it makes sense that they would forego losing any more money from the series with a full price retail release. Below is the teaser trailer:
This is great news for old fans (like me) of the original games. Before the online age of console gaming, some of the best game nights involved a few beers, snacks, and 6-8 friends going round robin all night throwing down million-point showdowns, all while trying not to get caught singing along to the infectiously catchy soundtracks. Here’s hoping the developers Robomodo can catch that addictive competitive gameplay all over again and reintroduce it to a massive online multiplayer gaming community.
Microsoft is releasing their new Dashboard Update for all Xbox Live customers today. It introduces a new ‘Metro’ layout and design, similar in style and intended to reflect the UI of the Zune HD and Windows Mobile 7 platforms.
Apart from a new sleek design, it also introduces an App section, where you can download TV applications that will eventually include HBO Go, YouTube, UFC, Bravo, SyFy, and online OnDemand services from Comcast Xfinity and Verizon FiOS, among many others. They will offer tons of options for TV entertainment, sports, news, and movies that will accompany the already available Netflix, Hulu Plus, and ESPN options.
There will also be updates to the social media applications already available with Facebook and Twitter, as well as a new Beacons feature. The Beacons will allow users to “broadcast” the current games they are playing, share it on Facebook and Twitter, and if they’re looking to join up or be available to multiplayer sessions with other players.
Be sure to log on to Xbox Live today where the update will automatically be downloaded. Check out all the new features and let us know what you think. Enjoy!
This is the war of all wars, the fight every year we look forward to, Madden vs NCAA, unfortunate you can only compare these two games because EA Sports own the licences to these sports and without likeness and support from the NFL and NCAA any other game would be incomplete ect… All-Star Football anyone?
Well to start lets just say that I’m a Madden Fan since 92 and I have every Madden on some platform even on the 3DO so I’m old school about this game. I support is because it has help me with my love of football to the passion i have for it now and new outlets, Fantasy Football and Watching any game on Sunday. So when they come out with a Madden game I’m there day one, but I’ve started to find a new love and it’s NCAA. To be fair, NCAA comes out a whole month before so it is the football fix i need during the summer until Madden comes out, but I’ve started to see that NCAA is a better game than MAdden since 2007.
Its not just the way the game plays or the more teams, It’s the way it is produce, so much so that next year 2 of the NCAA producer are coming over to help Madden regain it glory days. Not to say its a bad game but, the one thing they have not got right was online franchise, in the 4 years it has been offered on theses two games one has gotten it right and the other is playing catch up and all of making the game pretty and visuals is not going to help with the fans of this game. I glad they have decided to change for next year but for this year, if you only want one game get NCAA football.
