I've been thinking about trading in some of my games that I don't play anymore. Should I get Sony Smash Bros? I've been a little interested in it, but I want to know if anyone thinks it would be worth it.

Valve's own Gabe Newell gives a presentation on PC gaming at DICE 2013, and I think it's very interesting to listen to a senior computer scientist talk about how PCs could be brought into the living room through various means like In-home streaming vs. cloud gaming:

So here's some news that shocked absolutely no one. There's a new Call of Duty game coming out this year.

In other news, this: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/02/07/jon...e-screens/

I'm kinda wondering about Johnny's inclusion. For those who do not know, Johnny cannot walk, due to a bullet in his spine. Now see, what I'm wondering is how will he move around the field in-game? At first, I thought he would always be on his horse, but the screenshots show that is not the case. Plus it would be totally unfair to always be on the horse. Then I thought, maybe his walk cycle would be crawling around, which is both horribly tragic and unbelievably hilarious.

I haven't played it myself, but from what I have seen, that game ain't all that great. Watch one of the gamegrumps to get what I am saying.

Pfffffffff shooting on your stomach is for noobs - you gotta be in the air, spinning away to be a real MLG CoD pro (git on my lvl, faggyt)

Set up my Wii, and replaying Twilight Princess, something made me want to replay it, and I might as well, got up to Death Mountain.

Also had to fix my DC again, so there's that.

Apart from that I haven't done much video game wise.+

I found out a whole new level of tangled. I don't really play Xbox, but my brother does, so I was cleaning it out after finding a lost controller, and found that the xbox cords and fans we had installed, etc. down there managed to get tangled to the shelf next to the tv. Furniture tangling, it is hard to undo.

Wasteland 2 saw it's first gameplay video yesterday, and so far it's looking to play very similar to the first two Fallout games. As a backer of this project, I'm glad my money is being well invested.

That looks like it could be a pretty decent game.

What's the story behind it ?

I can't really comment on the story of Wasteland (I never played it before) other then that Wasteland 2 is a direct sequel to the first ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG.

Check out Media Consumes Me's Fallout retrospective to get a better idea of what Wasteland was like:

I don't get it Bumble, you seem to love games in a series, when everyone else hated it.

I mean you love the new DMC, when majority of the fan base hate it, and you love Dead Space 3.

I..I have to ask...

Do you...Like...video games?
