Robert Kotick wants the price of games raised.

So, it was announced proudly by Robert Kotick, the director of Activision, that he would like to see the price of games raised. This man sits atop a pile of money, most likely bathing in it, and he would love to see the price of his games raised, which is already happening with the price of Modern Warfare 2 raised 2 euros in the UK when it is released this fall. Having been a gamer for years and watching the steady increase of the price of games this is absurd, especially for the director of Activision the king of sequels to openly say that he wants this to happen, Modern Warfare itself is one of the highest selling games EVER, not to mention the Guitar Hero series that has sold millions of copys and having NINE, yes I said nine version of the game all produced with brand new peripherals throughout the history of the game. I say boo this man, BOO THIS MAN!

New Left 4 Dead DLC announced!

Maybe some of the ridiculous boycotting of Left 4 Dead 2 will subside after today's announcement of Crash Course. The new Left 4 Dead campaign will take place in between No Mercy and Death Toll campaigns, and will be slightly shorter than the other campaigns, but who is complaining about that, other than those people out there that act as if Valve hasn't delivered admirably with every game they have ever released....But that is beside the point, Crash Course throws a few new things in to the fray including a new respawn timer for your infected teammates and the behavior or item spawns has also been changed. For those of us playing Left 4 Dead on the pc the new campaign will be free, but for those of us also playing on the xbox we will be charged 560 Microsoft points (7 dollars). So stop crying, Valve said they would deliver and they keep their promises, I cant wait.

UK therapist wants to give WoW "addicts" therapy, in game.

Alright, most every gamer knows, that if you want to play and MMORPG, you should probably play World of Warcraft. With a community bolstering around 12 million players it’s not hard to understand that WoW is immensely popular, and for anyone that has played the game it is also not hard to understand there comes a time when the game is hard to put down, but to be profiled as an addict is stretching it a bit far, or is it. A therapist in the UK thinks that some players actually need therapeutic assistance, and said therapist wants to do so, while in game. Now, is it just me or does this seem a bit ridiculous, now I'm not comparing WoW players to crack addicts (I play WoW) but, when someone has a crack addiction, does the therapist meet with them at the crack house? No, one problem that the therapists see from this method is that, they may be a doctor in the psychological field, but when it comes to the World of Warcraft, they don’t know a damn thing about it, and because of this they are asking Blizzard to waive the monthly fee and let them work within the game, whether or not Blizzard is going to go for this is yet to be said, but I personally don’t see it happening. So, what is your opinion on the subject, do you really think that Warcraft players need therapy to put the game down, or is everyone overreacting just a little bit, my vote if for the latter, you be the judge.

Sony bans player, player sues Sony.

Anyone that has played a game online knows that some of the language can become a bit of a hazard for the "virgin" ears out there. The usual response to this is just muting the person, but it looks as if Sony's mute button has become a bit worn out. Sony has recently banned player Erik Estavillo for in game language, so Erik Estavillo has sued Sony for $55,000 claiming pain and suffering due to multiple mental problems the biggest being agoraphobia (an intense fear of crowds). This young man is claiming that by being banned from the Playstation Network it has ruined his own little social life. He is also claiming that the ban is unconstitutional, which is somewhat true considering the first amendment is freedom of speech. At a second glance though everyone playing online has signed the online users agreement, most if not everyone ignoring it and just hitting okay it clearly states that Sony has the right to ban anyone they feel if they deem it necessary. So, what do you think, does the kid have a chance or is this just another frivolous lawsuit?

Fat women in general, including a Princess.

Okay, so this may be old news but I just ran across it and it filled me with so much hatred and anger that I decided I needed to write about it. I must also say before leaving a short comment about the link I'm going to post is that I have absolutely no sympathy for obesity in todays society, there are millions of ways to lose weight, with people every day developing way in which to lose weight, and have fun doing it, there is just no excuse. Anyway, I ran across this today Fat Woman Pissed Off, and find it just rediculous, oh no someone made a video game about a fat girl, instead of thinking about losing weight I'm going to go get a gallon bucket of ice cream and write a letter from the comfort of my exceptionally large chair, here is a hint for all of you rediculously obese people out there that arent really trying to lose the weight and are trying to find things in society to blame your problems on, a new simple weight loss program has just been developed by me (Scott R) and it only has one simple step PUT DOWN THE FUCKING FORK! That is all, thanks for reading!

PS anyone out there that is rushing for a towel to wipe the excess Cheetos cheese off of your hands and really wants to tell me how hard it is to be obese, my email is overrated44@hotmail.com.
